Junior’s Restaurant and Bakery is a New York City institution that’s been serving up classic American comfort food and iconic cheesecakes since 1950. Located in the heart of Times Square, this vibrant diner is a must-visit for tourists and locals alike.
The atmosphere is lively and nostalgic, with red leather booths, neon signage, and a bustling energy that makes you feel like you’re part of the city. The service is friendly and attentive, even during peak hours.
The menu is extensive, with everything from burgers and deli sandwiches to full entrees like Romanian tenderloin and seafood platters. But let’s be real – you’re here for the cheesecake. And trust me, it’s worth it. The classic cheesecake is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy.
Reviews rave about the generous portions, reasonable prices, and exceptional service. Some notable mentions include the Disco Fries (cheese-and-gravy-covered wedges) and the Reuben sandwich, stacked high with corned beef and nicely toasted.
Pro tips: go weekday afternoons, try the plain cheesecake with strawberries, and don’t skip the Disco Fries. Be prepared for wait times, especially on weekends, or consider takeout

This wasn’t my first time here, and I came back specifically for their cake shakes – just like last time. The chocolate cake shake with whipped cream and a chocolate cheesecake on top is incredibly sweet and absolutely delicious.
Since we were hungry, we also ordered a burger and a philly cheesesteak, and everything was great. The place has a beautiful classic American style, lots of space, and very friendly staff.
The location is perfect right in the center of New York, near Rockefeller Center. It’s a great spot to stop by for a tasty meal or dessert while walking around and enjoying the area. Highly recommend! ✨

First time here and came because of the hype..but yeah, wasn’t worth it! The inside seems cozy and plays on the real diner feel of back when. We entered and were seated right away around 8 pm. Seat cushion needs actually cushion in the booth. Felt like my butt was hitting the wood inside.
The menu seems vast in options and affordable minus those desserts. Seemed a bit overpriced but that’s what they are known for. Ordered the fish and chips and food came out fast. Maybe too fast because the dang thing was raw inside and watery.. OMG! Listen I’m from The Bahamas and KNOW fish, we eat fresh fish from the ocean so to see that watery mess inside had me pissed, PISSED! How can yall not know when fish is done? Maybe yall need to stick a thermometer in those pieces. It was redone and it still wasn’t cooked to a dense flaky meat as it should be but then I thought maybe the fish wasn’t good quality. Like cod is a thick dense meat and that should have had more firmness to it for sure. But anyway..fries were okay. I’m a fries person and those style they served seemed like they redipped them in oil and gave me the old ones off my plate. Because if that’s how they taste, they need a diff brand. They just didn’t have a good ‘real potato taste’. Cole slaw wasn’t creamy but had good flavor. I liked the tartar sauce.
I also ordered an oreo shake to go. It was good but could have had a more oreo flavor. For 13 plus that shake could have been better honestly.

This place is so famous and popular that we felt we had to check it out. We originally came for the cheesecake, but after waiting a while for a table, we decided to stay for dinner as well.
The service was average and somewhat confusing. When asking about a kids’ menu option, one staff member told us the pasta contained meat, while another later said it didn’t and that no meat would be added. Receiving such conflicting information was frustrating. Some of the staff were not particularly friendly.
The restaurant is extremely busy, with tables very close together, a lot of noise, and a rather overwhelming atmosphere. Portions are large and generally tasty, but a downside is the lack of vegetables as a side. Being served ice water in winter was also not a great idea.
Prices are very high — this was the most expensive meal we had during our stay in NYC.
We tried two cheesecakes. The sugar-free one was actually quite good. The next day we tried the classic one with cherries, but even the three of us struggled to finish a single slice, and it eventually ended up in the trash. It was extremely heavy and overwhelming — even our child gave up after one bite.
Honestly, I don’t quite understand the hype and phenomenon behind this place.

Coming in to New York as a tourist all the food was expensive. Wanted to take the family for dessert at Juniors but needed dinner first so we thought we eat here too, for dinner and dessert. The service was great, waiter Julio was responsive, suggestive, and friendly! All staff was pleasant! But get this. Food was amazing, portions was great, and prices were Def fair, and to me it was cheaper than the other local sit down restaurants. Cheesecake was very delicious! Would Def go back! Family was pleased

This is a tourist diner, the atmosphere was an 11 out of 10, and the food was pretty good. The desserts were fantastic! Considering all things, I’d give it a 5 stars overall and I would go back. But…. I will give a critical review of the Reuben. I feel like I’m very well traveled and exposed to a lot of different foods from all across the US (check out all my reviews) to give a fair assessment. So with all that in mind, I’ll say it… y’all use (and it seems all of NYC delis) too much meat, not enough sauerkraut. Yes, I said it. Not enough sauerkraut to meat balance. And the dressing is served on the side, which I kind of liked the concept, but I didn’t like the actual dressing. ( For reference – The best Reuben I’ve ever had was in middle America, legit KC.) But all that aside, the other menu items were great. Especially the Hungarian goulash. I’d order it next time myself. But the overall menu was huge and there’s a lot to try, so we will be back again one day. And the best part of the meal was dessert. Everything we got was excellent. Give it a shot yourself, but go early or late, or you will have to wait.

Not going to lie – I haven’t eaten in the actual restaurant, but I have gotten cheesecake here 3 times in the past 2 trips I’ve taken to NYC. Yum! They always have a good selection of different kinds. The line moves fast, the workers are courteous, and they make sure to throw some forks in the bag for you. Perfect for a slice of cheesecake in bed at the hotel. I’ve had the original, the brownie, salted caramel, and the apple crumble. All good.

TL;DR: Classic New York comfort done right. Fast service, generous portions, and the cheesecake lives up to the legend.
There’s something reliably comforting about Junior’s. I’ve been to both the Brooklyn and Times Square locations over several trips, and it never disappoints. It’s one of those diners that’s no-frills yet still feels special. Service has always been friendly and quick, even with the Times Square crowds.
This visit, I went for the Combo Reuben, Disco Fries, and Chicken Tenders, with sides of coleslaw and creamy dressing. Everything hit the spot. The Reuben was stacked high with corned beef and nicely toasted; the disco fries (cheese-and-gravy-covered wedges) were ridiculous in the best way. Whoever came up with that combo deserves a medal.
And of course, you can’t skip dessert here. I took a slice of the classic cheesecake with strawberries back to the hotel. I’ve even ordered their cheesecakes shipped to LA before, but nothing beats having it fresh from the source.
Pro Tips:
•Go weekday afternoons
•The plain cheesecake with strawberries
•Disco fries are a must-try
•Times Square is convenient for visitors; Brooklyn feels more local.

Service was friendly, kept our drinks full.
I ordered roast beef with Auju (not exactly what I expected) Not appealing and I didn’t care for the texture or taste. Tough and chewy. My coworker liked it. My garden side salad was beautiful.
Gave us a vinaigrette slaw, pickles with beets as a side.
Old Fashioned Soda’s, milkshakes, great location on Time Square.

Junior’s was a no-brainer on my return trip to the Big Apple. I brought along friends who were first-time New York visitors, and if you’re going to introduce someone to NYC food culture, this is perfect addition.
Now don’t get me wrong — the food is solid, classic, comforting diner fare done right. But let’s be honest…
WE CAME FOR THE CHEESECAKE!
And it did not disappoint. Rich, impossibly creamy, perfectly dense without being heavy — the kind of cheesecake that reminds you why Junior’s is legendary in the first place. Every bite felt like a New York rite of passage.
Pair that with good coffee, a warm, bustling atmosphere, and that unmistakable sense of history, and you’ve got an experience that still earns its reputation. Junior’s isn’t chasing trends… it’s the standard.
If you’re visiting NYC for the first time (or the tenth), this stop is mandatory. Come hungry, stay happy, leave full… and yes, absolutely order the cheesecake.
