Carina 💖October 24, 2013Best cheesecake ever!!! You couldn't say you went to NYC if you didn't try their amazing cheesecake.
Great for breakfast! Try the Joghurt or the pastries. Very friendly service. Nice to sit on the terrace in summer.
Roniel TesslerDecember 27, 2014Best kept secret: bypass the huge lines and head straight for the bar and see if there are any empty seats. Fast Service and no wait time.
James PittmanNovember 25, 2017Best cheesecake I have ever had anywhere! The blueberry cheesecake is outstanding!
Dan YonDecember 22, 2016Very touristy...Waited 40 min for breakfast and ended up eating lunch. Skip the pastrami burger, it was a huge soggy mess with a tiny slice of pastrami. The cheesecake though... holy crap is it good!!
Shuvani BurtMarch 18, 2015Went for brunch on Sunday. It was packed but got given a table straight away. Service was quick and food delicious.
Beth McMahonDecember 26, 2015Be ready to WAIT (typically an hour) but it's worth it. Meals are huge and the free pickles and beets are a NY favorite.
Vjon Julliene AmadorJune 12, 2017They serve THE BEST cheesecake!!! The original cheesecake was the bomb 💣! Must try!!
Ange SDecember 6, 2013Carrot cake cheesecake is awesome, with a slice of the original cheesecake sandwiched inside for good luck. Servings are Huge. Share a slice!
FoodiesprAugust 4, 2015The best cheesecake experience in the world! Don't leave #NYC without trying this glorious #cheesecake
M BNovember 17, 2012Have a cup of the split pea soup (a bowl's plenty) and you can split the pastrami sandwich with someone! Yum! Parking for B/way shows right nxt door
Jackie IoninMarch 12, 2012american food w/ an old school jewish flair (i.e. challah french toast, pickles on the tables, matzoh ball soup, etc.) famous for the cheesecake. big fan of the black & white cookies.
Natalie MJuly 28, 2015Grab precut cheesecake slices at the end of the night to bring back with you for dessert. The chocolate swirl is the best!
Marco GalantinAugust 30, 2014The cheesecake is not only delicious, it's big! Couldn't finish it after a regular meal but loved it for breakfast the morning after
NanaSeptember 13, 2016Yum cheesecake. I'm sure the original is much better but this was brilliant too 🍰
KenMarch 4, 2016Great selection of fantastic cheesecakes and large portions, so the price does not feel so bad considering near times square.
waleed bahrawyApril 5, 2019Vegetables omelette with extra mozzarella and cheddar cheese.. Griddle cakes come with cinnamon apples and raisins on the side
Shameen KhanJune 19, 2019French toast with bacon! Was an absolute dream and came with an apple compote. Tasty american breakfast. ♥️
SEGAJanuary 4, 2012I’m a huge fan of Junior’s cheesecake. Aaron and I always stop for some when we're in town. I once walked 20 blocks in the pouring rain to get a slice. So worth it. - Kellie, Community Manager
Milton InoueAugust 6, 2014Good plates: ask for the goulash that I think serves 2 people. Just be careful about the gratuity in the credit card debt!
Douglas SouzaSeptember 2, 2014Cheesecake!!! It doesn't matter the flavor! Just order it ! Foreigners may be surprised by the size of the portion LOL !!! It's huge!!!
The turnover at this particular Junior's is incredibly fast. So even if they give you a 30 minute wait time, it could very well be as little as ten to fifteen minutes.
Wei VaynJune 1, 2015Try the Something Different - Brisket of beef on potato pancakes with Au Jus and apple sauce (via @Foodspotting)
Ray HartjenJanuary 14, 2015Coffee is hot, and lots of it. The NEO is a nice breakfast dish, with salmon favorable. Pass on potatoes, as they're 'hotel-like.' Go with grits instead.
Ashley 🌵August 26, 2014Cheescake! Just like everyone says! We did get a regular Cheescake with the strawberry sauce on the side. So. Good. Do. It.
Maha AldossaryJanuary 17, 2018This was my last stop before leaving NYC and I was lucky to taste junior’s cheesecake! 10/10
Sarah J ParkerOctober 14, 2017Great authentic cheesecake, loads of options, atmosphere is buzzing. Worth the wait to get in.
Justin OrdovezaNovember 9, 2023Definitely save room for the cheesecake. The deli sandwiches are ok. There is a nice outdoor dining area.
Rami JBMay 12, 2016I prefer the Original in Brooklyn because it's less busy with tourists but the food and cheesecake were amazing- The Athenian ChicMay 4, 2018We came here for the cheesecake but it could've been silkier. I loved the ambiance though and service was super polite.
- The red velvet cheesecake is so delicious. It's huge though so you'll need reinforcements to eat it.
LaylaAugust 28, 2022If you’re looking for a creamy, dense, fulfilling New York cheesecake, this is the place to go. :)
Chris ChavezNovember 30, 2015I had the chicken pot pie, best ever, flavorful, and filling. Any cheesecake here is awesome!
Sarah WarmanNovember 18, 2016The burger was great as was the service. Our waiter was very personable and, of course, the cheesecake was excellent!!!
Fiona MaynardAugust 13, 2014Incredible cheesecake and milkshakes! A must do if you're in the Times Square area and feeling peckish!!
Theresa MariusJanuary 26, 2018I love the fact you can go to the small take-out area and get your cakes and pies to go.
Shawn DeinesMay 18, 2013Onion rings are breaded like a funnel cake. They're amazing! Split a Ruben three ways in order to have room for cheesecake.
Amanda LannanMarch 20, 2016Don't miss having a piece of one of New York's best! Original is the way to go.
- Iury RibeiroApril 2, 2013In fact, I don't like any dessert, but the juniors strawberry cheesecake is awesome! If you are in NYC, you must go there.
Mike HopkinsMarch 7, 2016The best after-theater Cheesecake. Get a seat at the bar to get in, get out and go home.
Michel Karl GhoussoubAugust 11, 2014Food is very good, especially the cheesecake. Great value fir money ;)
