First time eating here. The Rueben is really good but the Chicken Noodle soup is PHENOMENAL, and so are their pickles!!! The potato pancake was too greasy and way too much batter, barely any potatoes in them. I’ll go back on a Friday to try their Matzo Ball soup (only available on Fridays).

When we visit Cincinnati, we come make it a point to stop here. The food is good, and the waitstaff is always so polite. The Rueben’s are very soft and just delicious, and the potato cakes are perfect compliments.

Horrible experience! We walk in the restaurant and two tables are occupied with two people at each table so they weren’t busy. There is menu’s on the tables so we take a seat and wait. After 5 minutes goes by I stood up and walked to the counter and the lady says are you eating in? I said yes so she says we’ll wait on you. A guy finally comes out and takes our drink order, the food comes and according to the menu the Rueben is piled high with corned beef. The picture I took tells a different story. Then my girlfriend gets the half sandwich with beef barley soup, the soup had ONE PIECE of meat and ONE PIECE of potato. Clearly this place is more concerned about making money versus taking care of the customer. I spent $29.06 on a small sandwich and potato pancake and a half sandwich and another potato pancake plus a couple of pops. See receipt. I won’t make this mistake again.

Izzy’s is one of our guilty pleasures! Since we’re both retired and we don’t eat out as often, we’ll stop in to Izzy’s occasionally. Hubby loves the beef barley soup and I love many of the sandwiches and potato cakes. It’s a bit more than we like to spend for lunch but we consider it a great treat for all of our years of hard work!
