What People Are Saying About Junior's

In Short – Walk past the vintage (translation: faded) turquoise-colored signage of this brick-and-mortar mainstay, peer through the windows and it becomes clear: You're about to walk back in time. Frozen somewhere between the '50s and '60s, this is the kind of place where folks too old to care about the Internet have been coming since the era of five-and-dimes. Brown vinyl booths, an open kitchen with counter and a fake sky on the ceiling set the scene, while a swift but friendly waitstaff (many of whom have been here for more than 20 years) bring a variety of milk shakes, salads and…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Along with Canter's, this is the only deli that bakes its own breads, rolls, pastries and cakes at its on-site bakery. There are also two private rooms, available for large parties.
Parking:
The adjacent lot offers valet parking, which is free for the first half hour, then $2 for each hour thereafter up to 2 hours.
The Extras:
Each table is greeted with a bowl of pickles and sauerkraut. If you want more, don't be shy--they'll gladly give you more for free.

Junior's

by brutusln

Juniors is expensive. 18 dollars for a corned beef and pastrami combo sandwich served with cole slaw and two crisp-tendr hush puppies? I guess. It's good, but Jeez. No bargain here.

The corned beef and pastrami combo sandwhich is almost too much meat. It smelled a little gamey--maybe it was the combination of the two meats, or something. Of course the meat was incredibly tender, and enough for two.

The restaurant decor is dated, and that's part of its charm, I guess. But it could use some new carpeting to freshen the place up a bit. And Junior could put on a fresh shirt before he makes the rounds.

The real entertainment is the side show of circus freak seniors here, Hollywood style. These matrons have had plastic surgery. Hair done up and dyed like Ann Miller, dressed to the nines, screaming to each other across the table-- WHAT?! WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! The carved faces, sequins, dyed do's and deafness are ripe for a documentary.

Kudos to the overworked waitresses here--terffic service, and didn't bat an eye when we asked for separate checks.

Best in Westwood

by berkshire

Been going to Junior's for over 30 years. It does not have any competitors in the Westwood area. You won't be disappointed.

The Westside's best deli...far and away

by alabu

Homemade soups, chopped liver, sandwiches that are meal , entrees and wonderful baked in the restaurant deserts. Take out and catering. What else could you ask for? The cabbage soup is one of my favorites. Creamed herring, eastern lox, and tuna salad are outstanding. Just can't go wrong. Valet parking on the lot right next to the deli.

  • Pros: top quality
  • Cons: pricey like all delis

Excellent sandwich

by ClearMindClearBody

I had a turkey sandwich that would make you do a backflip. I get it every time I come. I should probably try something else on the menu but I just can't get over their turkey sandwich. Junior's is that good!
