Junior's Restaurant and Bakery

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 ge

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 wa

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 —

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
