FAQ
Do you take reservations?
Yes- we recommend them! Reservations ensure your time slot and that your table will be ready for you upon your arrival.
You can download the "Tock" reservation app on your smart phone or follow the link on our website to make your reservation.
How do I make reservations with you?
We use a reservation system called Tock.
If you search "Tock" in your phone's App Store, it will come up as 'Tock- Restaurant Reservations' (Blue background with a white broken circle icon).
Alternately, you can follow the "Reservations" button on our website to book without using the app.
Do you accept parties of 6+ people?
We have limited availability for tables of 6 people due to our table sizes. Any 6 person reservations that are available will show up on Tock. We are rarely able to accept parties of 7 or more.
Do you have a dress code?
We do not have a dress code. Come as you are comfortable! We consider ourself to be "Upscale Casual Dining".
Can I bring in my own bottle of wine or dessert?
If you would like to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy during your supper with us, you will be charged a $30 per bottle corkage fee. We recommend looking over our curated wine list before your reservation (located under Menu tab).
If you would like to bring a cake or other type of dessert for a celebration, you will be charged a $4.00 per person dessert fee. Please consider that our Pastry Chef takes great care in making every dessert on the menu and we happily provide a celebration plate and candle with your dessert.

What is the best place to stay up-to-date with your daily operations?
We post regularly to our instagram account @juniperjc (see the instagram icon at the bottom left of this page). You can also find updates on this website.
Why “Juniper”?
Juniper is Mattie and Celia’s daughter’s name.
What are the birds on the sign about?
Those are Guinea Fowl, or “Guinea Hens” as Sam calls them. Celia grew up in the Knob Creek area and when she was young, there was always a flock of these hens standing in the middle of W. Oakland Avenue as you drove around the curve where Juniper is now located. We would always have to slow down to let them scatter. Sam would then make a joke about Benny Hinn, the Preacher. You can also find “Ginny” the Guinea on our kid’s menu!
Fun fact: a group of guinea fowl is called a confusion
What’s that stone structure beside your restaurant?
That is what is left of the Bashor-Denny Mill that was built sometime before 1832. It is a great piece of the Historic Knob Creek District. If you'd like to find out more, please visit our up-hill neighbors at The Knob Creek Historical Museum.
