Stopped by the Junction on Tuesday for lunch. I ordered the Mediterranean turkey burger. It was so delicious 😋. I cut up the burger & pita in 4s so I could eat it in smaller bites. Add the taziki sauce,yum! The greek salad was fresh and delicious as well.. also asked for their chicken dumpling soup. WOW, I never tasted soup I'll like that.. I'm going to order that again 🙂

We’ve been coming here for years and it’s always a great experience! The food is delicious whether we get breakfast or lunch, and the service is fantastic as well. We were pleasantly surprised on our last visit that some of the dishes have gotten bigger in portion size! Some of our favorites are the trailblazer with pancakes, the Mexican skillet, the teriyaki bowls, and any of their homemade soups. Overall, the Junction is a DeKalb staple with great vibes, food, and workers!

Had an amazing breakfast at The Junction this morning! The pancakes were incredibly soft and buttery — perfectly golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You can tell they’re made fresh and served hot off the griddle. The coffee was rich and fresh, exactly what you want to start your day right. And the eggs with cheese? Absolutely delicious — cooked just right, creamy, and full of flavor. If you’re looking for a spot that serves comforting, high-quality breakfast with that classic homemade taste, The Junction is definitely worth the visit. I’ll be back for sure! 🥞☕🍳

Man idk what happened but the food was terrible! I used to love coming here but it’s no wonder they were so empty. The gravy for the biscuits and gravy tasted canned and salty and the biscuits were WAY too dense. The “breakfast burritos” were weird and gross. The French toast was OK but nothing special. The prices were outrageous! The waitress was really sweet, which was really the only positive. Never going back smh

I stopped in here for somewhere warm to eat while on a trip. Absolutely kindest staff! Very patient and attentive. I had the Mexican burrito, it was delicious! It came with a side of salsa and was so big I could only eat half! My bill was under $10 as well.
