An American diner famous for its cheesecake.
Of course, there is also a food menu.
Ordered cheesecake and cake shake.
The cheesecake feels like a New York cheesecake.
It's thick and filling enough to eat. Just under $9.

By the way, many people have probably seen this on blogs, etc.
The cake shake is actually recommended here. There's a whole cake on top of the shake!
What I ordered was a brownie, but it actually had a cheesecake sandwiched in between.
Furthermore, there was cheesecake spread on the side of the glass, and crushed cookies were placed around it.
That's why you can enjoy cheesecake properly!
Furthermore, the chocolate shakes are also no-frills.
The brownie part is quite sweet, but the shake isn't that sweet.
And it's made hard, which is unusual for a homemade shake.
So eating cake and drinking shakes works.
I ordered this after eating the cheesecake, so I couldn't finish the cake and was given a doggy bag to take home, but I love shakes and out of all the milkshakes I've had all over the world, this is one of my top 3 milkshakes.quality.

Great typical American restaurant. In the entrance area there is a large cake counter with typical New York cheesecake. The food was very good and the service was very friendly. We even went there twice. Once for breakfast and once for dinner. I also think it's great that you can get pickled vegetables for free before dinner. The pickled cucumbers are great.

My friend has been insisting I try the cheesecake here, so I wanted to come and have the full experience. I saw the Russian dressing praised in other reviews and decided I needed to try it, so I had the corned beef and pastrami combo. Honestly, I didn't taste a difference between the two. I've definitely had better versions of both. The Russian dressing was good, but it was much thicker and less sweet than I am used to! I tried the devil's food cheesecake and concluded that I still don't like the flavor of cheesecake, but the consistency was good. It broke apart on the fork easily. The best thing was the oreo milkshake. It was perfect.

The prices jumped. I still like it, but less of a bargain that it used to be.

*1/13/24- Price$ be damned! You are paying for nostalgia! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Juniors is always my connection to old school Bklyn. Nothing changes here. It is stepping into to the past. This is the neighborhood that used to be here. Its a fleeting moment! Blink and you will miss it. This too shall pass. Sadly. But right now, it's here. Run don't walk. Get here before it's too late.

New Cheesecake In NY. It was awesome. Staff was great, The GM actually took time to chat during my visit. One doesn't see that much these days. Great Barclay's Center after stop. Great Job Guys.

Today I ordered a strawberry cheese cake but apparently the worker wasn’t paying attention and messed up the order which is now too late to return back.

Disappointing- Not what I was expecting it to be. The food was okay, just okay. There are plenty of other Jewish delis and restaurants around the city serving much better food. The music was very loud and kind of annoying (it was around Christmas so they were playing Christmas pop) the service wasn't great and the seating could have been better. Wouldn't recommend- if you're looking for something better walk down to the CityPoint food court- there's a Katz's in there.

Typical American diner, very well decorated. The service was very good and the dishes were all delicious and abundant, the coffee too, defined and generous. The only objection has to do with the prices, since it can be a bit expensive when you add the tip (which is common in NY). That said, it's worth it, you won't regret it.

Got a burger and the famous cheesecake. The burger was ok but not amazing the cheesecake however was super good! Worth to go just for the cheesecake.

I called the day before to make reservations for this afternoon 4pm 11/14 but once our party walked in the hostess claimed that there was no reservation under my name which was odd but nevertheless we were seated instantly. Our server was attentive and kind.the food was mid, great ambiance and drinks.the dessert was delicious.

Definitely worth a visit, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or just to try one of the delicious cakes. The selection of cakes is huge. Like everything in NYC, the price isn't exactly cheap. If you're looking for a more traditional diner and are in Brooklyn, don't miss Junior's!

Went to Junior's for- what else- cheesecake.

I ended up getting a whole strawberry cheesecake pie, which is just cheesecake with a cookie crust. The price: $35

Unfortunately, this product was stale. When I cut into it, it was stiff as a rock. A huge chunk crumbled before it hit my plate. Biting into it confirmed that it was dry & bland.

Junior's cheesecake used to be about quality. Those days appear to be long gone.

Nice restaurant with very good omelettes. The waitress was very pleasant. On the other hand, the toilets were in a picturesque condition.

We passed by by chance, and it caught our attention, the typical American restaurant, with some very delicious cakes, with texture and flavor!

We've been to Junior's maybe 2 or 3 times in the past. Never disappointed nor impressed. It's a middle-of-the-road restaurant that always suits everyone's needs and all tastes alike.

It's junior's, where my ex sister and law worked in the very early nineties and again that was the last time I ate there. Decided that would be my first breakfast so I went in and sat the the counter. The young dude across the counter was having strawberry cheesecake for breakfast, God bless him. I can't really do cheesecake anymore now that I know how it's made and saw that the won the number one French toast and when my charming server, Tishelle, asked what I wanted, that's what I got. It was very good, with the cornflake crust and the stewed apples. No maple syrup necessary. Very good. I like this place because it manages to be a tourist spot, a borough stalwart, and a.legit local grub spot all at once, where when the counter queen retired she got ink in the local fishwrap (sorry I was hijacked). Worth a visit, and even more so if you're a cheese cake maven

This is not only a neighborhood staple but an iconic location. No cheesecake in the world can compare in my opinion. The quality control is amazing and the seasonal flavors are also delicious. Definitely worth a visit anytime I’m in Brooklyn!
