One of the best NY's cheesecakes .Best tasted if you leave them in rood temperature for a while, at least for my taste (I am from Greece and I like my sweets a little bit less firm and more creamy).

Purists will opt for the No. 1 Original Cheesecake , but Junior’s flavored cheesecakes including a chocolaty devil’s food cheesecake and the strawberry cheese pie also stack up. Read more

Melanie Maddox

Cheesecake , of course! If there's a line , check the bar - it's first come first serve, so even though there was a crowd outside, we sat down immediately after our show!

Mabelle Santos

Original cheesecake is THE BEST! I walked over to Times Square to enjoy it. A slice may be too big, they also have a smaller piece called the little fella to give you your quick cheesecake fix.

Ahmed Janahi

It could be the best cheesecake you'll ever taste "easily". Their corned beef and pastrami combo is worth the try too.

Siobhan Dillon

I visited on 3 different occasions, twice I had the grilled cheese , & the day I left NY I had pancakes , all were so good, that's why I ate there 3 times. The cheesecake is a must-try, 10 out of 10.

Junior's is a New York staple when it comes to food, especially their cheesecake . I know you'll tend to avoid a diner in the middle of Times Square but I can guarantee you an amazing time here

Nadia Swan

Shared pastrami sandwich and shared cheesecake were one of the BEST recent places. Pickles on the table reminded me of years past. If you want REAL delicious deli , Juniors is the place to go.

AlAnoud A AlGhunaim

Best cheesecakes , not kidding! Been coming to this place for years and nothing changed❤️ but away from the desserts , try their sandwiches and steaks ! Really good❤️

Nico Rod

To be honest I had my doubts when I read about the best cheesecake in NY. It looks too mainstream, nevertheless I have to say, yes, it is... :)

Lily Jung

There are many types of cakes available. I had a craving for strawberry shortcake and found it. My husband loved the chocolate cake/cheesecake cake .

Marissa Sumiko Cohen

Long lines (especially post shows) but worth it for classic yummy deli items . Matzah ball soup , potatoes pancakes , and cheesecake are all great!! Also pickles , cole slaw and beets to start are delish.

Norman Ellis

If you get a window seat facing the Shubert stage door know that you might have tourists sitting outside on the ledge eating their fries and coffee while looking up your dress . Very distracting.

Fernando M

Usually cramped inside, the food is good and plenty in flavor and choices. The cheesecake is good but to cheesee IMO. You must try it at least once but there are a lot of other good choices around.

Lina Yeh

My favorite post-Broadway tradition! The classic cheesecake is the way to go. I've also had the matzoh ball soup and beef goulash which are good bang for your buck.

Graylyn Roose

Loved the original cheesecake . The reuben and pastrami sandwiches are gigantic..I recommend splitting an order of fries with someone if you are both getting sandwiches !

The strawberry cheesecake is delicious , like the original one in cheesecake factory . 😍🍰 ❤️

Paddy

The line was long in the main restaurant but all we wanted was takeout cheesecake . We went next door to the bakery instead. It did not disappoint. Original New York cheesecake in all its deliciousness

Arlene Murphy

Try to go when the Broadway shows are playing. The wait time is less since it is located in Schubert alley. Great portions and cheesecake . Love the tribute to the old Brooklyn Dodgers.

Danielle Speirs

Me and my husband shared the something different. It was amazing. We chose the chocolate mousse cheesecake and didn’t not care for it much but neither one of us like dark chocolates .

Irina

Great variety, however a bit overpriced (7.25$/piece). Go for traditional NY cheesecake with berries on top or a complicated combo carrotcake-cheesecake!

Leo Waka

Great food! Great place! Great service! Great experience... And a wonderful cheesecake :)

Shelly

Junior', is iconic joy, from the minute you taste the pickled beets offered gratis, to the chopped liver perfection, to cheesecake extraordinary!

Kate💎💋❤

Now that I’ve tasted it.. I understand why everyone talks about the juniors cheesecake ! It’s very nice! coffee though was not so good.

Deb Perez

Reuben was fantastic. Lots of good food in this restaurant . My server Sergio at the counter provided the best service I had while I was in NYC. He was amazing

Mikey Dunn

Legendary cheesecake . And they’re open late ! If your hotel is nearby, snag some slices for a midnight snack ~

Cat Hicks

I always make a point of getting some when I am in town and getting some delivered for when I get home. It's an institution for a good reason. It's amazing

Spiros Theocharis

Cheesecake is heavenly!! They also have nice food for lunch or dinner . For instance the burgers were delightful!

Andrew C.

Fun to revisit this establishment. It's upper-middle diner quality. But you should be going there for the cheesecakes anyway. Staff is really friendly - chat with them!

Alharith

The original cheesecake is just perfect.

Shuaa Aldarwish

Best cheesecake I ever tried 😍 I recommend the blueberry ✔️

Danielle Speirs

The something different was amazing!!! Did not care for the chocolate mousse cheesecake !! Don’t care much for the dark chocolate taste.

Maha Aldossary

This was my last stop before leaving NYC and I was lucky to taste junior’s cheesecake ! 10/10

Nana

Yum cheesecake . I'm sure the original is much better but this was brilliant too 🍰

Tobias Reiper

If you like, or want to try, American style cheesecake it is worth a visit. The rest of the menu is good quality if not exceptional.

Stacy Bo Bacy

Cafe for quick items on the left and proper sit down restaurant on the right. If you don’t like this cheesecake , you likely don’t like NY cheesecake because I’d say this is the standard.

Alibek Datbayev

You should come here before "high traffic hours", because people are staying in a line for an hours. But it's worth it. Great kitchen! Love their cheesecakes !

Khokha M

Old time favorite despite the long waiting queue. Thier omletes are good, french toast is a bit dry but I loved it. Sevice is fast & waiters are friendly

Christian Dickmann

The chocolate mousse cheesecake is very rich and (too?) huge. Junior's excels at the lighter plain cheesecakes , maybe with a fruit topping (e.g. Cherry ).

AKW

been to the one in Brooklyn before however the Times Sqaure location is just as great. lunchtime can be packed but it is well worth it. of course you have to have the famous cheesecake . yum!

J A

The cheesecake is delicious. The food is low average. Limited pancake variety, and the French toast isn't really French toast . Good seating area. Basically only come for the amazing cheesecake !

Eli Sherer

Here's the deal. The Lox platter, which includes a bagel and cream cheese , is $17.95. But you can get a bagel & crem cheese for like $3.50, and then a side of Lox for $7,95. Savings!!!

The beef brisket is so delicious and it is huge! Seriously made me feel full. The coffee was good.

Cansu Altıntaş

Prices were relatively more reasonable in the very expensive area. It may be good to have a dinner while waiting for a Broadway show. I had a cheesburger which was OK.

Shuvani Burt

Went for brunch on Sunday. It was packed but got given a table straight away. Service was quick and food delicious.

Foodiespr

The best cheesecake experience in the world! Don't leave #NYC without trying this glorious #cheesecake

Nikkia J Smith

Bacon cheese burger with onion rings and fries . It was delicious.. I didn't care for the onion rings , the batter made it taste weird.

Gab Habibi

The cheesecake is so good!! ❤❤❤ the ribs with fried chicken are awesome! And it's so big that's perfect for 2.

Ashley 🌵

Cheescake! Just like everyone says! We did get a regular Cheescake with the strawberry sauce on the side. So. Good. Do. It.

James Pittman

Best cheesecake I have ever had anywhere! The blueberry cheesecake is outstanding!
