I've always enjoyed going to Juniors. The place is super clean, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very laid back. They are known for their world famous Cheesecake, voted #1 in NY by New York Magazine. They've been open for close to 50+ years I think. As soon as you enter, you see the section with the cheesecakes, pies, pastries and other cakes under glass. Every kind of cheesecake you can imagine including the plain and my favorite topped with whole strawberries or cherries. You can buy it by the slice or whole cake. I love the fact that you don't have to enter the entire restaurant to buy cheesecake or other desserts; they make sales right there for your convenience.
There's a waiter to seat you and they're prompt with menus and order taking. Large wine, beer and liquor selection. Delicious salads, entrees (lots of them) (try the ribs, steak or seafood--the roast or fried chicken is great too) and the wait for your food does not take an eternity. While you're waiting, check out the pictures of famous people that have stopped by. or just people watch the restaurant's other patrons. This place is also very family friendly. No one scorns families here, which is a rarity in restaurants these days.
Also, the bathroom is spotless as is the restaurant. The food' is always delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Huge portions too. I always have to get a doggy bag when I leave.
Highly recommended & they also cater parties & events.
UPDATE: Juniors has recently opened their first Manhattan location in Times Square. Same restaurant & goodness on a grander scale.
PROS: Excellent food, Best NY cheesecake, Family Friendly, Great Service & Clean
CONS: none
