OMG, Junior's has the best Matzoh Ball bowls hands down! Silky noodles, soft cubed carrots, and pillow soft matzoh balls. It is the ultimate comfort soup having mouth watering broth curing all ailments in the body. You can never get enough of Brooklyn's Junior's delicious Matzoh Ball soup. It is simply a delightful experience to have Junior's Matzoh ball soup along with their complimentary roll. How sad only one dinner roll is provided with your delicious soup. Additionally, Junior's continues to have fabulous food & soups consisting of their broiled seafood platter with french fries & creamy mashed potatoes ( without gravy ). Broiled seafood with sides were delicious and perfectly cooked. Mistakenly, I unfortunately tried matzoh ball soup purchased at a Lower Manhattan restaurant near Canal Street with the worse tasting and expensive crumbled matzoh balls I have ever experienced. You know the place.... A costly lesson learned - ALWAYS purchase Matzoh Ball soup ONLY at Brooklyn's Junior's Restaurant to satisfy a craving that cannot be matched by any other restaurant serving so-called "matzoh ball" soup! Mazal Toh!! read more

Having visited Junior's in Times Square years ago, we knew we wanted to try it out again! This was the original location, so we booked a reservation. The service was a bit slower than you would expect, especially as it wasn't very busy. The food was fine, but nowhere near how we remember it to be 10+ years ago when we went nearly every day on the trip. The roasted chicken was so dry you would hardly chew it. The salmon plate was good, but lacked flavor. Of course, the cheesecake was delicious. If you're looking for a typical diner vibe with a lot of history, make sure to try out juniors. Go more for the experience than the food. read more

Love the old school vibe. Went here before a show at the Paramount, this is across the street. The ideal location. I had a Daily Special - Catfish Fingers served with a nice tangy sauce. Alo grabbed a plate of the iconic potato pancakes. Yummy!!! Love the apple sauce the serve with it, it had little chunks of apple. My fellow dinners had the Brisket of Beef and were not disappointed! Loved the vibe and the service was on point! There is a wait to be seated , especially before the shows at the Paramount so plan accordingly. read more

I'm gonna start by saying I Love the Bklyn location. However, the waitress I had was lazy & Never, Never came back to ask if I needed anything. A big no-no for me! I got the Catfish fingers & cheese fries. Yum! I was in Bklyn, on business & stopped by only for the Catfish bc Manhattan restaurant doesn't make it. I forgot to take a photo of her but she cover the round sitting area near the pastries . I think her name is Leylia but it on the receipt. I hope management informs her to be more attentive w/ customers bc I did want something else, but not after her ignoring me & another customer next to me. I recommend, this location bc it's the original one but it fell off with professionalism. read more

Was welcomed and seated quickly! Daniella came soon after to take our beverage request! She didn't rush us for our order. She answered all our questions about the menu. The food came out in a good amount of time because we were definitely hungry. Everything was cooked the way we had requested. Everything was delicious! The coffee was the only thing that can improve. It wasn't robust or full bodied to my liking. But it was drinkable. Haven't been here in a while but would definitely return! We all left pleased. read more

I really enjoyed my dining experience at Juniors. I stopped in for breakfast today. I was greeted in a friendly way, shown to a table. The restaurant is old school and has lots of pictures and memorabilia from past years. I went for the corned beef hash and coffee, and they also brought out two complimentary small pastries for me. The food was excellent. The portion sizes are big, but beyond that this was one of the best corned beef hashes I have had - nice crispy bits of corned beef, poached eggs with a runny yolk, breakfast potatoes, and rye toast. Can't get better than that. Their coffee was also decent with a bold flavor to it. They play older tunes with creates for a nice atmosphere. People say this place is an institution; I'd say it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Junior's Iconic Restaurants located Downtown Brooklyn, allows many options with its online app.You can definitely purchase anything on the menu for pick up and avoid these long long holiday lines. You can order baked goods for delivery, pick up, or make dining reservations online. I arrived to pick up a cake yesterday and the online app made it soooooo easy. The app enables me to personalize my order, pick up our cheesecake, and keep it moving. People were in and out quickly. We ordered a double chocolate cheesecake for my fam and it is definitely the highlight of desserts. I stopped and held a camera for some tourists and took their group pictures. This place is known world wide for that cheesecake. This is New York during the holidays and I absolutely love it! It was festive and everyone was in such a great mood. The staff asked me if I was walking or driving so that they could bag up cheesecake to meet my travel needs. I'm taking an Uber, so they bagged this up and secured it like Fort Knox. Awesome customer services at the front counter. See you next year. read more

I looooove Junior's! It's just old-school comfort to me. The classic decor with all the celebrity photos framed, the vintage red decor. I dunno why, but it feels like home. Recently, I had the Reuben sandwich with fries and it stood out as a favourite; hot, packed with meat, served with Cole slaw, pickled beets and pickles. I don't like to leave without a slice of strawberry cheesecake. YUM! Service is always sweet! read more

Junior's Restaurant - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Junior's in Downtown Brooklyn is one of those classic New York institutions where the nostalgia hits you the moment you walk in. Between the vintage photos, the red leather booths, and that unmistakable old-school diner energy, it feels like stepping into Brooklyn history. One of the best things about Junior's is how enormous it is. You almost never need a reservation, even with a big party. I've come here many times with my family and other families with kids, often after attending children's events at nearby City Point, and they always handle large groups just fine. It's incredibly kid-friendly, and the menu is so massive that even picky eaters can easily find something they love. The deli classics are solid: nothing fancy, but always comforting. The portions are gigantic, and the service is quick and friendly. But, of course, you come to Junior's for one main reason: the cheesecake. Rich, tangy, and dense, slightly browned on top. NY-style[1]; truly iconic. If you ever need to bring something to a party and don't know what, a Junior's cheesecake is a foolproof option. They offer a huge variety: original, strawberry, raspberry swirl, chocolate fudge explosion, pumpkin pie, red velvet, chocolate mousse, cherry crumb, Brooklyn crumb, devil's food, white chocolate, and more. And if you can't decide, they have a sampler of 18 mini 4-oz cakes. When in doubt, grab a couple of their smaller 6" cakes and make everyone happy. Whether you're visiting Brooklyn, corralling kids after a City Point outing, craving something sweet, or just feeling nostalgic, Junior's remains a beloved, reliable, and delicious classic. I can't think of Brooklyn without Junior's. ---------------- [1] NY-style cheesecake is characterized by its graham cracker crust and a filling made primarily with cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and sour cream or heavy cream. Italian-style cheesecake uses ricotta instead of cream cheese. read more

Had lunch here with beau and we were seated right away. Not too crowded or busy. Our waitstaff Ayana was pleasant and friendly.

Placed two cheesecakes, chocolate mousse and strawberry, to go. Though the food is pricey they are quite good and came out fast. If ever in the mood for some deli sandwiches, burgers and cheesecakes with friendly staff, Junior's the place. read more

Native New Yorker absent for 20 years! Old haunt just as I remembered. FOOD a bit more expensive (what isn't?) but taste buds stimulated in recognition of brisket on rye. Corned beef & pastrami on an onion roll couldn't be beat. Junior's cold slaw, beets, pickles are thoroughly a New York experience. Service by long-standing employees dedicated to establishment superb to none. Ambiance still takes one back to Brooklyn of the 50's complete with Brooklyn's memorabilia. Bright orange striped bags say JUNIOR'S IN THE HOUSE! The Rosens continue to hit home runs and score! BTW Cheesecake, rugela can't be matched. All competition go home. Just shipped 4 to friends! read more

Last summer in NYC I went to Junior's Cheesecake, got a slice, and ever since then I've been trying to replicate that cheesecake I've gotten a bunch of cheesecakes from a bunch of places near Seattle, but all of them didn't get anywhere close to how good this was For my birthday this year, the one thing I wanted was to pick up this cheesecake - even if I had to walk 2 1/2 miles, get it from Fred Meyer, and take a bus back It fucking delivered The second I took a bite of this I was instantly transported back to Brookyln in that diner All the flavors came rushing back to my mouth - all the fake, wannabe cheesecakes from places like the Cheesecake Factory were purged and I got an explosion of flavor so intense I wasn't even ready for I knew it was going to be good but one bite and I was like "holy shit" This one cheesecake lasted me from Feb. 4th to Mar. 25th - and that was even with sharing it with people when I first cut it Probably because it's so high calorie :) I don't even think I ever want cheesecakes from anywhere else in my life after this It's not worth getting a cheesecake for dessert at another place when I know it won't be better than this Hopefully I can get this again for my birthday next year Ok, so how does it taste? Incredible The amount of flavor in this cake is unparalleled in any other cake I've ever had It's so unbelievably dense that one small bite feels like you're eating a huge portion. The inside of most cakes is fluffy and airy - the inside of this one is as solid as the outside; it's unbelievable There's no frosting - the entire cake is essentially one giant block - with a vanilla sponge cake layer on the bottom and a slightly solid crust on top The flavor that enters your mouth is slightly sour, very creamy, not super sweet but very cream cheese-forward it's hard to describe how good it is - think of the difference that happens when you put MSG on food vs when you don't. It kind of tastes like that in the sense that the flavor just remains in your mouth Due to the texture, once you take a bite, the cake sort of blends into a soft mixture and sticks a bit to the roof of your mouth - which only enhances the flavor even more The top/bottom layers also provide excellent depth The top layer is baked enough to be slightly brown - but it's still not very hard - rather it's the perfect texture to provide just a bit of a different mouth-feel same with the bottom - while I really do like the graham cracker crust on cheesecake - this sponge cake does that job and even more - based on the way this cake is built, I think a graham cracker crust would add too much crunchiness here this cake didn't even cost that much for how big it actually is / how long it lasted read more

Junior's Restaurant on Flatbush Avenue is a throwback to the soda shop days of the 1950s. They serve one of the best chocolate egg creams I've ever had. Our waitress was great; very friendly, answered all our questions, and made sure we enjoyed our meal. She put out Cole slaw, pickles and beets to munch on before we even ordered. The Brooklyn Old Fashioned was delicious enough I had to have two. The fried chicken was super crispy and very tasty. The pastrami reuben was straight out of a NYC Jewish deli, a savory classic. We topped our meal off with a slice of Juniors Original Cheesecake, which was outstanding. The neon lights on Juniors exterior are very inviting and draw you in. The interior decor seems pretty original, giving Juniors that old school NYC vibe. They have a few locations, but Brooklyn is the original, with tons of character to show for it. read more

The lights don't just glow. They shout. Red neon letters, spelling "RESTAURANT BAR," cut through the haze like it's 1950, while the gigantic sign with a clock vaults "JUNIORS" into the Brooklyn skyline. That marquee leans over Flatbush like it owns the corner, because it does. Inside, the smell is rich. Butter, sugar, hot coffee, and decades of old stories hang in the air. This is Junior's. They don't call it the most famous cheesecake in New York for nothing. Opened in 1950 by Harry Rosen, Junior's built its name the way Brooklyn does everything: with quality and repetition. It's an icon of Brooklyn. You came here for birthdays. For first dates. For a slice and a soda after a Dodgers game when Ebbets Field was still a thing. Politicians make campaign stops here. Celebrities drop in. If you've lived in Brooklyn, Junior's is in your bloodstream. Oh my God, that cheesecake. You pick the cherry crumb. It arrives in a clear plastic clamshell container, bold and undignified, like it knows it's a superstar and doesn't need a plate to prove it. The cherries shine. Glossy. Dense. Not syrupy sweet, but close. On top, a bit of grit and crunch. Then the main course: thick, creamy, soft without collapsing. Not overly sweet. More dairy than dessert. This isn't whipped fluff. It's firm, structured, substantial. The crust, graham and butter, anchors everything. You taste each part. You get cherry, that dense, sweet smooth cheesecake, and just a little bit of crunch. With every bite, you end up a little shocked at how decadent this is, savoring each bite before you take the next one. Behind the counter, the bakery cases glow like championship trophy cabinets. Red velvet, Chocolate swirl, Plain, Strawberry, Key lime, and so many more varieties. You just know that they could make 500 slices on any given day and still run out. People call this cheesecake legendary. Rich. Dense. Iconic. Unmatched. For once, the words aren't overselling it. You eat it, and you get it. This is a legendary slice that will always stand the test of time. read more

Juniors is known for its deserts especially the cheesecake but it's also a Jewish style diner with delicious food. We walked past the long "to go" line to the dining room where service was friendly and attentive (9/10).

Excellent and high-quality food. I have actually been eating at this restaurant for 72 many, many years. The quality of the food is 100% excellent. However, their ordering remotely process is deceptive. They made me pay for pickles that were actually included with the order -- so I actually got two orders of them. I asked for lean corn beef and I got sort of lean corn beef, but it was excellent tasting so I can't complain too much. The portions are huge and the prices are extremely high. This leads us to waste food -- which we don't like to do. There was no dessert on the menu! You can't order a piece of their famous cheesecake, you have to order an entire cheesecake which is over $65!! read more

I recently enjoyed a delicious Roast Turkey sandwich at Juniors. This iconic restaurant in Brooklyn continues to serve patrons near and far--whether locals or visitors. It was jam packed when I visited with holiday decorations in full display and a cozy, energetic vibe. Yes, it's pricey. Yes, it's touristy (mainly in Manhattan) and yes, it may not be high caliber food, but I have a soft spot for Juniors. As mentioned in a previous review, I was just a kid when my family and I would occasionally dine at Juniors for lunch and it has been in the same location for decades. Today's lunch at Juniors was impromptu since we were in the area. We snagged a comfortable booth and I noticed patrons from couples to large groups just having a good time including birthday celebrations. Our server was a delight and very welcoming. After answering a few questions, noting that lunch prices do not apply to weekends and trying to start the year off healthy, we both chose the Roast Turkey sandwich (sans cheese). As a complimentary gesture, our server brought pickled treats to the table: beets, Cole slaw and pickles. Delicious. The sandwiches (one ordered with a side of fries for a bit of cheating) arrived shortly. For $18.95, don't expect a humongous, piled high sandwich. While it was more than filling for us, the portion didn't match the price. (Hey, prices have zoomed up everywhere). My sandwich on Whole Wheat was quite good. Bread was soft, turkey (the Thanksgiving kind) was moist and delicious and we both savored it. A few fries to accompany the sandwich was a nice touch--steak cut, hot and without the salt that is sometimes automatically sprinkled on top. Overall, this sandwich was a winner and I'm not even a sandwich person. I couldn't help but notice the aroma of food being served to other tables--half chicken, burgers and the ever so famous cheese cake. A visual delight. We were told the bakery is no longer in house at the Brooklyn location therefore the complimentary mini Danish pastries brought to tables ended (an on going tradition that goes back since forever). I think the food is a solid 3.5 and the cheesecake (which we opted to not have) merits a 5. However, Juniors is one of those restaurants that offers a feel good comforting experience. And I'm not referring to just the food. It's always nice to visit. Real nice. read more

Junior's absolutely lives up to the hype. This was my first time at the original Brooklyn location and it felt like stepping into a classic New York institution. I ordered the combo Reuben, and it was exactly what you want from a place like this--well-executed, no gimmicks, just solid, old-school deli quality. The sandwich was nicely griddled with a great balance of corned beef and pastrami, plus the right amount of kraut and dressing. The onion rings weren't my favorite--they had a thicker batter style, which just isn't my preference--but they were still cooked well. The service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and efficient without feeling rushed, which really added to the overall experience. I also tried one of their specialty cocktails (Electric Long Island Iced Tea), which was strong but smooth--definitely something to pace yourself with. Of course, the main event is the cheesecake. I took a couple slices to go, including the Devil's Food Cheesecake, and it absolutely delivered. Rich, dense, and clearly made with consistency and care. You can tell why this place has the reputation it does. Overall, Junior's isn't trying to be trendy or reinvent anything--and that's exactly why it works. It's a classic New York experience done right. I'd definitely come back. read more

One of NYCs & America's classic restaurants. The bar here is a true slice of life. Their cornbread is back - and therefore, so am I. They make a mean split pea soup, & great buffalo chicken wings. Their Caesar salad is on point, & they also have matzoh ball soup & potato latkes. I don't usually get their corned beef or brisket, but those are also great here. They have always been expensive compared to restaurants serving similar fare, but since the prices at almost all places in NYC have gone WAY up, their prices are now pretty much average. It's always a tough call between here & Chinatown just on the other side of the bridge, but Juniors has the VIBE. read more

Came in expecting a classic diner moment and honestly that is exactly what it gave. The ribs were decent. Tender enough to enjoy. Saucy enough to keep things moving. Not life-changing. Not table-silencing. More like the reliable cousin who shows up on time, brings a good potato salad, and minds their business. Solid. Familiar. Respectable. The burger was the real winner. Good bite. Juicy center. Proper diner satisfaction. It had that straight-to-the-point quality where nothing is trying too hard and somehow that makes it hit even better. No gimmicks. No identity crisis. Just a burger in a diner saying, yes, I do this for real. Easily the plate that made me feel smartest for ordering it. The cheesecake though? I have had better. It was not bad, but let's be honest, when your whole brand is wrapped up in cheesecake, I need a little more sparkle. A little more diva behavior. A little more main character energy. This one was giving understudy. It showed up. It knew the lines. But it did not exactly bring the house down. The staff are really what made the place worth it. Warm. Attentive. Easygoing. The kind of people who make you forgive a mid dessert because they are out here carrying the emotional arc of the meal. Hospitality had real presence here. You felt looked after, which goes a long way when every dish is not exactly auditioning for the Food Hall of Fame. Also, shoutout to the bathroom for being clean. That matters. Deeply. A clean diner bathroom is like a public green flag. It tells you somebody still cares. Same with the overall upkeep. The place felt maintained, not chaotic, which in a busy diner is honestly half the battle. it's giving... diner food with one flop, one slay, and a staff that deserved producer credits. read more

This place doesn't need a review, but maybe an updated review. For the record, I ate at this place three days in a row before I wrote this review so here I go. First, the staff have been here a long time there's a vibe when you walk in you feel like you've come to the diner heaven in the middle of Brooklyn. Service is great pricing is not too bad the cheesecakes to die for especially at room temperature. The decor's exactly the way it was pretty well since it was built. The bathrooms are clean. The kitchen is clean. The seating is a little dated, but you don't care about that. You're in the place that you call Home to have the best comfort food around. Try the corned beef, hash, and eggs. It is some of the best. To be quite frank the menu is huge. I had the pastrami sandwich. It was absolutely delicious. I had a cheeseburger the other night typical diner food began every time you've been into it. You wanted to bite it again and again. I talked to a couple of the staff about how long they've been here and why they were still here and I agree it's because they get treated right I got a chance to meet the general manager at delightful human made me feel welcomed love to talk about the original the OG Jr's in Brooklyn and how special it is. So good on the team at Jr's, still kicking it still relevant still making amazing food amazing staff and a pillar of the community. Let's all rise and give Jr's high five for being who they say.

I am not trying to be a member of the band. Just a woman staying in a hotel 2 blocks away who really likes cheesecake. So of course I would walk there at 9pm by myself (because nobody else in my family values cheesecake, where did I go wrong?) I went back and forth between the carot cake cheesecake and strawberry. My problem, there were crumbles on the strawberry and the 2 employees working the to go counter count tell me what it was. They ended on coconut but it clearly didn't look like it! So I wet. Carrot cake. I chose wrong! The carot cake was dense. I ended up eating all around the carrots part. Of course their cheesecake is creamy and delicious! Next time, maybe I will just get a plain slice... read more

A talked up Junior's Cheesecake for weeks before we went to NYC. They have a collection of photos of friends taking their first bite of the Cheesecake, capturing the very moment their mind is blown by the incredible flavor and silky texture. They were right. That Cheesecake is, without a doubt, the very best Cheesecake I have ever eaten. I am already planning to send one to a family member for her birthday at the end of the month. Everyone deserves to experience this perfect dessert. We had dinner, too. I had a wonderful bowl of matzo ball soup. The dumplings were so tender, the broth delicate and warm on a freezing cold evening. We had Disco Fries (Melted mozzarella and mushroom gravy) as an appetizer for the table. I think that was the first time i have ever seen a cheese pull from fries. Jeremy had a brisket sandwich with jus AND a pastrami sandwich (on twin rolls) with really great steak fries. I always luck out because Jeremy doesn't like fries, so I always get to eat his sides. A had a cheeseburger with onion rings. D had their very first pastrami sandwich and went into a trance, shouting "leave me to my meat!" When asked what they thought about it. We were celebrating A's birthday, so some of the staff came over and sang Happy Birthday, sticking a candle in a slice of the funfetti Cheesecake. A was both mortified and delighted. The bill was a bit steep, and took a long time to arrive, but I'm glad we did it. Next time I'm going solely for the cheesecake. read more

Highly recommend this cheesecake if you get the chance to try it. read more
