An equal mix of brewery and restaurant. The vibe was definitely not a party place, but I love that it's family friendly. Super clean with great decor. Tons of parking in the plaza and great daily specials. Also, TRIVIA!! I had the Uncle Johnny's Vanilla/Cinnamon Porter. It was a great tasting stout. Porter for sure but you could easily taste everything that was supposed to be in it. I'm a bit confused about the staff responsibilities. I was greeted at the front entrance by the same person that took my order at the bar in the back. And yes, the bar is in the back with the restaurant up front. Sadly, I'm just passing through. I would definitely return in the future to eat and try out the trivia. Overall, a good restaurant with a brewery experience in the back. Glad I didn't need much since the staff placement was odd. read more

Second time here. They have a happy hour. PA liquors and beers. Good sandwiches. Ernest was nice. Maybe they could add a dartboard in the bar area. It's kinda cozy in the back. I think they give a military discount. If I remember correctly. My sandwich was pretty good and my wife's was pretty good too. Just smallish. It is a bit expensive. But what isn't nowadays. read more

Don't be turned off by the strip mall location in Lemoyne...Isaac's manages to combine craft brewing with an unpretentious menu and atmosphere. Don't get me wrong--I love all things brew pub--but many of them strive for the whole high end "gastropub" thing which can get tiring after a while. Isaacs does brew their own beers though l can't confirm that they actually brew in Lemoyne. The significant other and I stopped in for lunch while out running errands. I had the flaming chicjen wrap; she enjoyed tomato with pepper jack soup. Both were quite good. My wrap was served with the house kettle chips which are sevved in a bag. Lke I sad: unpretentious (the chips wer tasty BTW). I also tried a flight of four 5-oz beer selections and was very pleased. My choices were all lagers and pale ales, and I liked "Don't Be Jaded" well enough to get a crowler to take home. The beer list is a conventional and accessible mix of syles with no exotic sours, Belgian ales, etc. Our sever, Kayana, was friendly, attentive, and efficient. This is a nice stop in Lemoyne for good, basic food and tasty craft beers. read more

Reliable sandwiches. However, I feel it is fairly overpriced for what you get. If you want fries instead of chips, the up charge is $3.50...wow! Burgers are $20. Hardly anybody in the place, so service was pretty good. Quiet...but mostly bc it was basically empty. I was not overly impressed with the sour...not very flavorful and it seemed flat. Overall, just average...nothing to get upset about, but nothing to rave about either. read more

My server was Savannah. I got the whooping crane and it came out hot and fresh. Our server was so kind and she was very fast and attentive. We also got the funnel cake fries and those were so good. Definitely recommend!!! The ambiance is always nice and warm. read more

I have loved Issacs since it opened in Hershey in the mid 90s. I don't live in the area anymore but it's something I have to get every time I go back to the area. Fortunately they will still make me a rose of sharon even though it's not on the menu anymore. I took a friend here this past weekend and she was initially underwhelmed by the setting but when she ate her sandwich she understood and was very happy I insisted we go. I wish they'd open one closer to Philly read more

I give you the holy grail of sandwiches! I not the type to get the same thing every time I go out to eat but I make an exception at Isaac's for the Mallard. The new renovation looks great and the addition of the brewery is a plus. read more

Great lunch here! Of course I had my favorite soup of pepperjack tomato. I did the combo, which added half a Reuben sandwich. I enjoyed the combo with an unsweetened iced tea. I love the pickled vegetables, and ate the entire bowl! As for my sandwich, I was a bit adventurous (for me, at least), adding spicy mustard in lieu of thousand island dressing. The mustard was creamy-smooth, between spicy like dijon and sweet like honey. It was a first for me, and won't be the last time I request it. My soup was perfectly topped with crispy (but not tooth-cracking) croutons and was chock full of chopped tomatoes. All of my meal was the perfect temperature. Service was terrific!

Since moving to PA earlier this year Isaac's has been my go to! Especially this location. Every time the food is fresh and delicious. The first time I went I got the flaming chicken wrap and I haven't been able to try anything else since because it really is THAT GOOD! Do yourself a favor and go to the lemoyne Isaac's. The staff is great the food is wonderful and it's always clean in there! read more

It's just okay. The renovations they did are great, but the prices + up charge for using a credit card is not worth the value received. We ordered a kids meal in addition to 2 sandwiches. The kids meal was literally dinosaur chicken nuggets that you can get in the freezer aisle and came out cold - the applesauce was not good either. My son was not a fan. For my sandwich, the corned beef tasted off and I ended up getting sick at home from it. The sandwich my husband had was just okay as well. Nothing to write home to about. We want to support local, but there is way better out there. Something will need to be done differently in order to retain interest in this area. read more

Lunch for $30 for two while drinking water. That's about average for the meal price for a quality meal and spotty service. On the last two visits, we were seated in the same seats as well as with the same waitress. Both times we had to ask for pickles. Both times we had to ask for refills on the water. Both times it was not very busy and she just seemed a little aloof to the fact that she was working and waiting on our table. One previous time, no issues with service at all. Last time we ordered the squeaky cheese appetizer and soup and sandwich combos. Good deal for the quality, not so much for the quantity. The Reuben was ok and always enjoy the gooney bird and scarlet ibis. The tomato soup is always spot on. Always a quality meal with high prices and ok service. Enjoy! read more

I really like isaacs. I got the Reuben sandwhich & it was great. I upgraded to fries. Those were also fine. However I ordered for my kids too. The quesadilla was mostly crunchy tortilla & just crap & the pbj was one piece of toast. Not impressed with the kids food at all plus they did not include a kids side like apple sauce, carrots or chips. It was literally just these two kids "meals" then my sandwhich & fries. Really disappointed when I got home & opened up the boxes to this. Won't be ordering from the kids menu again that's for sure. Also the inside had a renovation & looks really nice. Sad the food wasn't up to par with the new looks read more

I got an in school suspension for inappropriately criticizing Frank Franko during my 11th grade communication class. I am 49 years of age as I type this You see after each public speaking. presentation the student made ...the rest of the class would have to write a criticism of how the student did. My note after his speech was : "Frank Franko it is a shame you tried so hard to only just be average ". My communications teach pulled the note before Frank read it and sent me to the principals office . To this day I don't understand what I did wrong ?,, Well this is where this restaurant fits in . My review of my last experience would be similar to my review of Frank Franko . Isaac's it's a shame you try so hard to be average ! Pretty cool names for your sandwich's , pickle relish before every meal, clean tables , nice decor !. But when it comes to chopping down on the sandwich you ordered it is just wildly average . So average that it is pretty forgettable . Why ? My theory is ingredients and love ! I sense cheap deli meat and uncaring chefs . Management and staff try so hard ....but at the end of the day ....average . I will go back in 6 months to a year and see if the taste has changes . Maybe I'll bring Frank Franko . read more

This place was so disappointing. It claims to be a brewery, so we both ordered beers. After one sip, we informed the waitress both beers were flat. The waitress informed us she doesn't know anything about beer so she would need to check with the manager about if the beer is supposed to be flat, big red flag. She came back and said my beer was in fact flat, but my fiancé's isn't. Huh? Well we had already ordered food so we decided to grab some cocktails. Nope. Not a good idea, they were watered down and not mixed well, which wasn't too surprising when we found out they didn't have a bartender. Food was just as underwhelming. We paid $9 for cheese curds that looked like something dumped out a bag. No flavor and definitely not worth the price. The actual sandwiches were fine, though not worth the price. You'll spend $15 to get a rather basic sandwich and fries. The only thing they had that was flavorful was the pesto tortellini deli salad. That was great, but far too little to over come the rest of the experience. read more

I've been a fan of Isaacs for many years, and it's one of those places I tend to somehow "forget" about, then I get a craving for my favorite Gooney Bird sandwich, and remember how delicious a sandwich can be! However, I've never dined at this certain location, and the other day in the midst of a hot humid stormy afternoon we ended up here, and remembered someone telling us recently they are making/selling alcohol now! We saw the updated sign to reflect a hop leaf in the flamingo tail and got excited. We walked in to a newer more modern decor, not the colorful, birds and fish we were used too, but more brewery like. We thought the decor was tastefully done. But we were soon disappointed to hear they can't serve alcohol for a month yet. We perused the more modern menu but opted for our favorites, the Mallard and the Gooney. We ordered the house made tots with ranch, something new and very brewpub type fare. They were pretty tasty, I enjoyed the ranch! The server asked if we wanted the traditional pickled veggies, never need to ask us, just keep it comin! The sandwiches came out- first thing I noticed was my bread was a swirled rye/pumpernickel, which is not the correct bread for the Gooney. It's supposed to be straight up dark pumpernickel- regardless the flavor was good anyways and I ate it all. The Mallard was similar to what we used to get but somehow...different? Not sure what it was. Still good though. The vibe of the staff was a little off, we felt a bit like we were messing up their day. Also it's kind of a turn off when the server comes back to check in and take plates reeking of cigarette they just smoked. A personal preference for me would be wash your hands before dealing with the customer. So it's a mixed review, the food was okay, experience okay. We would go again to try the beer! The bar area is really nice and awaiting customers, I thought the beer menu looked decent too. read more

Lucky I have to give a Star because otherwise I wouldn't. I have been going to thIs Issacs since 1997. Always enjoyed the deli sandwiches and soup. In the past couple years it turned worse, they added a bar but it didn't hide the poor service and over-priced poorly made food. Tonight was the last time I will walk into this place again. Saturday night and not even half of the restaurant was filled. Let that be your first clue of this bad review. My son ordered Dino nuggets, the server never asked him if he wanted apple sauce, carrots or chips as a side. Our soups came out and then my son's food. Then my husband's food came out (he got a wrap - which wasn't cut down the middle). The server informed me that my food was coming. After 5 minutes, he brought a sandwich, not what I ordered. He sent it back. Then he brought potato salad, I didn't order, so I sent it back. When I finally got my ruffed grouse sandwich, it wasn't on poppyseed bread, and I had fries, that I didn't order. Never got my chips. The server did nothing. No manager was sent out. Yet I paid an overpriced $50+ bill for terrible service and terrible food. I should've demanded my sandwich be comped but I was too angry to deal with an incompetent server and a bad manager. I can't imagine this Issacs will continue to operate. They definitely lost my patronage. read more

The food is always super fresh and consistent (minus-one star for the price!) I just ordered a quart of soup and two sandwiches for $50, regardless of how fresh everything is --- and they do use great ingredients I will say, I feel like $50 is quite expensive considering it's only tomato soup and a corn beef / tuna melt sandwich. I would happily give this place five stars if they reduce their costs even 15% would make it five stars all day long... With that being said it's a great place and a once in a great while splurge it's worth the 25% up charge. Enjoy. read more

I love Isaac's for their prices, and my favorite pepper jack tomato soup. This Isaac's was probably the worst location that I have ever eaten at. My soup was extremely runny and horrible. The waitress admitted that it wasn't right and she would remove it from my bill. However, if you knew that the soup wasn't the right consistency why even serve it in the first place?! It tasted like they just added water to make it "last", so I had a bowl of water with a hit of tomato soup. One benefit to this location was a difference in menu options. We had fried pickles and mozzarella sticks; which aren't available in our area. The quality of the food was not up to the Isaac's standard. read more

Why me??? Why??? What is the reason restaurants take great items off their menus or modify them so that they are a mere shadow of what they used to be? Isaac's is one of those places that people seem to like or dislike with ease. In general, I like it. They offer fresh food at reasonable (but not cheap) prices. Mostly soups, sandwiches, and salads, Isaac's is a great place to grab lunch or a light dinner. Nothing fancy, just decent deli food.s Pretty tasty, too, if you happen to order something you like. They have a "bird" themed menu so you need to read the descriptions to understand what you're really getting. For example, while you literalists would expect a slab of hummingbird on a Hummingbird sandwich - what you actually get is roast beef and bacon. Truth in advertising? Apparently not. But it is somewhat clever. Now for my big complaint. My husband and I used to go there just for a Sonoma salad (which has toasted walnuts, dried cranberries, etc.) and have them add a scoop of their Almond-Chicken salad. The Sonoma salad USED TO come with two slices of fluffy, flaky french bread that had been topped with a generous amount of blue cheese crumbles that was then broiled until the cheese slightly melted and the edges of the bread were slightly toasted. YUM, YUM, YUM! The savory saltiness of the blue cheese topped bread was the PERFECT foil for the sweet dressing and dried cranberries of the Sonoma salad and the creaminess of the Almond-Chicken salad that we added. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago, we order our favorite. It comes with PLAIN bread. We told our server that they gave use the wrong bread. She announced that THEY NO LONGER INCLUDE THE BLUE CHEESE TOPPED BREAD with the salad. WHHHHHHHAAAAATTTT? It's ruined. It was the main reason we ate at Isaac's so frequently. We can't find anything else on their menu that we want to eat that often. The other food is good, but our Sonoma+Almond-Chicken was an obsession. We'd hoard the blue cheese bread until the last few bites. I am so sad. So Isaac's - you only get three stars as punishment for making menu changes that make your food less tasty. BUMMER! read more

Checked in on 11/13/2015 for lunch. Went with a colleague. I had a black bean sandwich. She had a combo of half sandwich and a tomato soup. The black bean sandwich was excellent. The service was good, food was served hot, the way it is supposed to be served. Most of the tables were occupied. So, all servers were busy. We had to wait for a bit for someone to come to seat us. Then the checkout took few extra minutes. It won't hurt them if they hire extra help during peak hours. read more

I've been to Isaac's many times over the years for lunch, but never for dinner. Tonight that all changed and honestly, I was kind of disappointed. First off the clam chowder was the furthest thing from a chowder I've ever had. For a place that touts homemade soups, I expected more. Stay away from the "chowder" here. The sandwiches were the same as they always were. No real complaints here aside from the fact we had to cut them in half ourselves. This was the first time they didn't come cut in half. No big deal - just wasn't expecting that. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and service was quick, which was nice. I'd come back for the sandwiches if I'm in a pinch for time. read more

I want to LOVE Issacs. I really do. But everytime I go I pretty much think, that was alright. I'd come back again. Then I don't go for awhile and go back and think oh man this is going to be great. And it always leaves me satisfied but not wow'd. I just can't put my finger on what's missing. But here goes. The menu is bright and filled with a variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups. They now have a combo special that I assume changes monthly and its a decent deal for 8.99 you get a sandwich, a side, chips, and a drink. Most of the sandwiches are about $8-9 already so you're essentially getting the side and drink for free. Considering how steep the prices are for a sandwich this makes you feel alright about it. I used to get the Hoopoe which is a tuna sandwich on a toasted multigrain bread with cheddar and bacon? Is the bacon new? Don't know. But I got it today and didn't even see any bacon which was fine. The bread was yummy and the tuna was OK. It was a little heavy on the celery which for my taste, isn't great but I imagine others think its good so I won't knock it. Just my personal preference. The chips that came with it were a mix of regular and sweet potato chips. I enjoy this. I got the regular combo with a soup and I chose the soup of the day which was a chicken corn. It was tasty but a touch salty. I'm still drinking water this afternoon in recovery of the salt. Oh well. The pickle mix that they serve before hand is similar in flavor to a chow chow and I find it very good. So why 3 stars? I Just don't find the sandwiches remarkable. I mean they're okay. But I never am over the top wow'd by them. For the way the menu is laid out and how they're described I would expect a flavor explosion with each one. But they're just ordinary sandwiches with crazy names at an elevated price. They do have a frequent visitor club you can join and they send you promos and if you purchase 10 sandwiches or 5 soups you get a free one so that's always nice. Plus you get something for your birthday. They also have a fun kids menu and dessert menu so it is a good family stop. This particular location is BYOB too so you can bring a bottle of wine to go with your fancy sounding sandwich. Will I come here again? Probably its a nice lunch or quick dinner option. Do I crave it? Nah. Its A-OK read more

The sandwiches were excellent! Everything was bagged and ready for us when I arrived for pick up. Super easy! I especially appreciated that the pickles were in their own individual Ziploc baggies, so they didn't contaminate my sandwich with pickle juice. My only negative comment was the ham sandwich on the pretzel roll was the size of my fist; a little small for my husband's appetite; although he loved the taste of it ! Overall worth the 20 minute drive! read more

Glorified hospital food.. Thats how I would describe the food here. Just not impressed and overpriced... I don't mind over paying for good food but this was barely mediocre... The pepper jack soup was good though... Portions are small... Service was fast, friendly and efficient! Lots of space in the restaurant for a big family and fundraisers which we are attending. I admire that they host fundraiser but I wouldn't return unless it was for such event... read more

The place is amazing. We have actually been to all three and all of them were great. The pepper jack tomato is actually addicting. The chicken soup and hunters chicken are great too. I'm sure all of their soup is good but those were the only ones we have tried so far. Everything is fresh and the restaurant is extremely clean. The service is always friendly and professional. The sandwiches and salads are really fresh and good too. We have visited probably 6 times since moving to the area. I would recommend joining their customer club. read more

New bread for Scarlet Ibos is awful. Old bread used to be a nice crispy and flaky baguette. GNew bread is mushy, weird color, and leaves a lot to be desired. Pickles are still great but you have to ask for them rather than the old norm of just automatically getting. I don't understand the chips in bag concept. read more

I love good sandwiches, and Isaac's IS good sandwiches (and soup). The variety of sandwiches and soups and the high quality of both on a very reliable basis is what keeps you coming back.

The sandwiches were good, but for $7 it was a bit steep!

The food is good, but like most people on here are saying it's a little steep.

Great food options and well stacked sandwiches. I got a veggie sandwich and the flavors blended so nicely.

I like to stop at Isaac's once in a while. As others commented, it can be a little more expensive then expected. However, they do offer several different combos which are affordable. Isaacs is my favorite sandwich stop because they offer several different vegetarian options. Most places the only selection is a sandwich with just cheese. Isaac's has a fresh portabella sandwich (called Rose of Sharon I think) that is my favorite. They also have a black-bean burger and several more sandwiches... but I usually order the same thing. They always offer a tomato soup which is delicious. I think they have a second soup selection that is different every day. read more

I'll preface this by saying that if I had only experienced eat-in dining at Isaac's, I would rate them at about 3 1/2 stars, but my opinion has now been tainted by two sub-par catering orders from Isaac's in the past week. Isaac's has fine sandwiches, and friendly staff, but seem to be unable to fill orders correctly. Twice this week I ordered large catering trays for lunch pick up, and twice this week I was disappointed. The first order was for 20 sandwiches at their highest level of catering ("First Class"). The sandwiches at this price level are supposed to all be triple layer subs or on pretzel bread. When I picked up the order, I saw that the top tray layer consisted of a mix of a few pretzel sandwiches and what at a glance looked to be the bacon filled club sandwiches. Once I got the trays to where lunch would be served, however, I made an upsetting discovery - the bottom tray was almost entirely filled with wrap sandwiches, which are part of a lower price level of catering tray, and what I thought were triple layer club sandwiches on the top layer were just plain ol' sandwiches. In addition to most of the order being made up of the lower grade sandwiches, I had requested several vegetarian sandwiches to be made up on pretzel bread. There were no vegetarian sandwiches or wraps present. Even though we didn't get what we ordered, the sandwiches tasted like sandwiches, which satisfied people, and when we were in a bind to find lunch today, Isaac's was again requested. Ok, fine. The order was placed, and not wanting to gamble being overcharged, plain old sandwiches were requested, with a specific vegetarian "Rose of Sharon" sandwich being ordered. The sandwiches were ready on time and retrieved. The vegetarian sandwich was some cheese, tomato, sprouts and a bit of lettuce on regular bread. The sandwich ordered and paid for was supposed to be "Sliced portabella mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, onions and spinach with melted provolone cheese." Very different, very frustrating. Basically, if you're going to eat in, Isaac's is fine and exactly what you would expect from a small chain sandwich shop, but if you want catering where you'll actually get what you order, you might want to try elsewhere. read more
