I was in town on business and stoped close by to check emails when Izzy's popped up as a sandwich shop near by. WOW! I had the corn beef on rye and it was amazing! It's served with a unique fried potato cake - so good! 10/10 recommended and looking forward to my next visit already! read more

Clean and friendly service. I am on a keto low carb diet and tried the Reuben salad minus croutons. I was not disappointed and really enjoyed it. read more

Oh, Izzys! I wish I had appreciated you more when I lived in Northern Kentucky! I'm a big fan of Reuben sandwiches, so always have to get one when I'm here. The corned beef comes piled high with sauerkraut, dressing and cheese on toasted rye bread. And when you get the potato pancake on the side -- just stick-to-your-ribs delicious. The service was great at this spot. We were able to eat quickly, and my kids enjoyed their meals too. Izzy's is always an easy win for us! read more

What a unique concept for a fast food restaurant that offered dine in service with a waitress and plates/silverware. We ordered a full size order of the Reuben and a potato pancake since this is what they are known for. The waitress was able to separate our Reuben and cut the potato pancake in half. We also got Cole slaw. Everything we ate was delicious! I wish we had a place like this closer to home. They also give your complimentary pickles. Don't pass up this restaurant! This is worth trying! Price was reasonable as well. read more

The Reuben is the star of the show--stacked with tender corned beef, melty Swiss, and just the right amount of sauerkraut and dressing. It's warm, flavorful, and hits that perfect balance without being greasy or overwhelming. Pair it with one of their famous potato pancakes and you've got a meal that feels both comforting and a little nostalgic. read more

Great staff who helped us with our first time visiting on what to order. Love the menu options. Delicious! Would definitely come again. The Izzy's Mex was amazing. Potato cake was a fun side as well. read more

Staff good. Food not up to par. tasteless. Overpriced. Mall road Florence location

Potato pancakes very very greasy and not like the real latkes. tuna salad pretty good

Nothing really wrong with Izzy's but nothing I would go out of my way for. My husband had the Turkey Reuben, it was alright but was on focaccia, or something like it, just a strange choice for a Reuben. I had chicken salad which came on the same bread. Oh, and everything comes with a potato pancake, we didn't really even try it. It was quite greasy so we refrained. Service was quick, likely because we arrived 20 minutes prior to closing. It was fine. read more

This was my first time at an Izzy's, I happened to find this location after avoiding a traffic jam on I75 and was looking for something different then normal fast food for dinner. I Take ou order the Izzy's famous corned beef sandwich and a potato cake to go. The sandwich is very good the potato cake is amazing. As I waited for my order, I looked at the entire menu, wow, so many delicious options, a Ruben salad is next to try. Order was ready in less than 5 minutes and the staff was friendly and happy to help me decide which bread to get on my sandwich. read more

While visiting Florence, KY, we stopped here for an easy meal. It sounded good. Variety of sandwiches that featured Goetta, a specialty ground meat of the area. It was a very clean establishment with a friendly welcome! We sat and checked the menu with plenty of options. Our server was terrific! The good was an amazing and huge potato pancake! The star of the show! It comes as a a side with your order. My wife ordered their take of a Reuben sandwich with goetta on it. It was made well but it wasn't a traditionally made Reuben. It wasn't grilled and it was served on a soft roll. The ingredients were fresh but it lacked a little something. I had a goetta on rye bread sandwich with American cheese and mustard/mayo. The bread was soft, too soft, like aunt Millie's bread. The flavor was decent but nothing special. One good thing for sure, was a $3 miller lite! I would give this place another shot and try some different sandwiches. They were fairly busy on a Monday at 4:00 pm. Enjoy the potato pancake...it's really good! read more

Today, the place was busy, which says something good. The staff here are pleasant, kind, and will look after their guests. The place is setup in such an away that there's plenty of room. They do keep this place pretty clean, especially between patrons. Even though I am not a huge fan of the potato cakes, it is still good. My go to is the goetta Reuben. It has just the right amount of flavor throughout the entire sandwich. read more

We frequent the Izzy's on Mall Road for lunch at least once or twice a month. Service is friendly and consistent. Food is prompt, consistent, hot, and always delicious. You can't go wrong with a grilled Reuben and a potato pancake. Is he provides kosher dill, pickles as their "appetizer " and we have burned through our fair share of them enjoying each one. I have also had the Izzy burger from here where they will make it like a "Izzy boy " as a big boy substitute. The hamburger is enormous, but it's a good cut of beef, a proper bun, and a very satisfying sandwich. I have never left here, disappointed. It's not exactly culinary dining high society excellence, but when you just want a good sandwich, this Izzy's has always delivered. read more

My daughter surprised me by picking up lunch from Izzy's today! Love the half sandwich of corned beef, Swiss, & sauerkraut (Reuben) and the Cabbage soup! (Not to forget the huge potato pancake and Izzy's pickles that came with it!) Delicious! read more

Izzy's has long been one of our favourite sandwich shops with their specialty being Rueben sandwiches. I've gotten lots of different variations of those in the past all of which I've discussed in past reviews. On this occasion I went a different direction and tried their Goetta Supreme sandwich. It comes with corned beef, Glier's Goetta, swiss cheese and Izzy's Special Sauce which closely resembles 1000 Island dressing. It all meshes very well together with the delicious corned beef and Goetta both stellar on their own but something special when combined. The cheese and sauce finish off a particularly tasty sandwich. Of course no trip to Izzy's is complete without having one of their potato pancakes which are still the best I've ever had by a fairly wide margin. I'm telling you if you haven't tried one yet then you're really missing out. The service was great and the store was clean as usual. Yet another fantastic lunch at Izzy's. read more

Let me just say "GREAT Ruben sandwich. We both had the Rubenator Sandwich. One with coleslaw and one with the legendary potato pancake. Both were very good sandwiches for a good price. Easy off and easy on to I-75 Interstate. Would definitely recommend. read more

Southern boy in the north says....this is the best Reuben sandwich he has ever had. The service was excellent, with glasses topped off at each table visit. The ambiance was sweet and quaint. The potato pancakes were the only thing bizarre to me, but they were also delishious. Yummy...the wife's gonna be mad...lol read more

Once again, just a great experience. Nice clean location, friendly staff, food fresh cooked to order....was asked at least 3 times if wanted more beverage....QUALITY!!!! read more

We were so excited to pass this Izzy's , we pulled a u turn and went for lunch ! My mom & sister came to pick me up from the CVG Airport ( I'm visiting from Miami, Fl ) and we were heading to first watch to grab a bite, when we spotted Izzy's! I hadn't had their famous potato pancakes in years ! I ordered the famous Izzy's Reuben, but with Turkey instead. They have a Turkey rueben on the menu which comes with sweet & sour coleslaw on a roll , but I prefer the traditional sauerkraut and rye bread , so that's why I ordered the way I did. I also recommend having it grilled ! It was delicious! My sister and mom had the famous pastrami Rueben and loved theirs, too. I ordered a side of their special sauce ( which is basically thousand island dressing ) and we all dipped our sandwiches in it. The sandwiches come with their yummy potato pancake. I love ketchup on 1/2 and spicy mustard on the other 1/2 for different tastes, but they're just as yummy plain, too ! One other shout out for this location near Florence mall is their cute & very clean bathroom ! Lol. I take comfort knowing that their food is clean and fresh when they care this much about decorating and keeping their restroom this clean and fresh ! Great job with the management and staff at this Izzy's ! ( we went to the location on mall road in Hebron , Kentucky near Florence, for reference! Our server was amazing, too ! ) I'll be back next flight in ! read more

I honestly wanted to love it here. It might be more if you're huge fan of Rueben's but I'm not sure we are anymore. The thousand island was great. I did enjoy the potato pancake. I ate half being it was a little too greasy. I'm still glad we tried it for the experience. They've been around since 1901. They gotta be doing something right for somebody. read more

we stopped at Izzy's on Elm in Cincinnati while on vacation today. it was absolutely fantastic! Tracy recommended the daily special and she was spot ON. Their famous Reuben and potato pancake were the best I've eaten! chicken noodle soup was also outstanding. Tracy was friendly, personable, and attentive without hovering. Izzy's was clean and cute, too. Definitely a place I would highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

First time here and enjoyed our visit! We stopped here on our way back to Michigan from our vacation in North Carolina. As we were walking in, a couple saw us approaching and asked if we were coming in. We said yes and they said that we were in for a good meal. They were sitting out at one of the outdoor tables and really enjoying their meal. They gave us a few pointers as we have never been there before. When were greeted by the server, she set down a HUGE bowl of pickles. I wish I would've gotten a picture of our meal but I was already approaching the hangry stage so I just dove in and enjoyed the crisp picked. My husband really likes Reuben and Cuban sandwiches so he scoured the menu what he wanted to order. I'm not a huge fan so I opted to go the route of a cod sandwich. Overall my husband did enjoy the sandwich that he ordered and I did enjoy my cod sandwich. My cod was super hot and I appreciate that - fish can cool quickly so I know it was brought out to us promptly. I Dossow really enjoyed that I was able to order the bun on my sandwich as it comes, or grilled, or toasted. Both meals came with a potato pancake. I opted not to eat mine entirely but did have a few bites as it had some onion in it - wish I could have enjoyed it but I am not tolerant of onions. read more

finally had to try this local sandwich place out as it was highly recommended a few times. I had the classic Reuben whichwas pretty good! But I feel like they kind of lacked on the thousand island dressing. It was literally stuffed to the brim with the typical Reuben fillings but the dressing was just not entirely there. Came on top of a potato which was good to have afterwards. Overall it was a very filling meal for a good price but next time I would ask for more thousand island dressing on my sandwich. read more

This was our first time here and I have to say We are definitely planning on going back. Want to try more of the menu they have. Oh and I forgot to mention the awesome lady that brought out our food.

Wow! What a great memory relived. This is our first experience in the new location - great spot. It was busy so we opted for al fresco. With the outdoor seating covered and on the east side of the building, we were protected from the summer sun and enjoyed the breeze-through. We ordered our nostalgic favorites, including the classic Rueben, but switched it up on grilled wheatberry - what? Where has this been all my life...???! And of course, with what I've been dreaming of since moving back from Georgia - potato pancakes :) The service was quick, cheerful and full of helpful suggestions as we got reacquainted with our old go-to's. A lovely lunch to fulfill a nostalgic family day. Thank you, Izzy's - you did not disappoint! read more

My sandwich was amazing and the potato pancake was some next level stuff. The fast was fast and friendly. Definitely recommendes!

Pastrami on a pretzel roll was absolutely terrible. That and a water cost $15. Very little meat cold and a hard dry bun. Three strikes and you're out Izzy's. read more

The menu wad much larger than I remember it being when I tried another Izzy's years ago. I decided to go with their namesake; The Izzy's Famous Ruben. Thinly sliced corned beef was piled on top of soft rye bread. Corned beef was topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and lastly their own Thousand Island dressing. Bread was very soft. Almost white bread soft. Potato pancake is more batter/ flour based than I am use to. The green onion was a welcome touch. Not a meal I would crave, but an option when out running errands. For eating in, seat yourself. A server will be by to take your order. There is a counter for togo orders. Both dine in and togo orders pay at the counter. Restaurants seem to be clean. There is a drive through. At the time of our visit, it was decorated for Halloween. read more

Well they aren't like they use to be. Back in the day they'd pile your sandwich so high with meat you could mKe two sandwiches. The customer service was very nice! Overall it was a good sandwich just much smaller than the old days. read more
