Reviews for Izzy's - Elm Street in Cincinnati, OH
When in Cincinnati on a Friday we have the matzo ball soup. Izzy's has been a family tradition for years, so much so that we... usually skip trying new places when we're downtown. It's nothing fancy but they are always hustling and bustling with customersand you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you want the matzo ball soup you really do need to go on a Friday though.It's not offered other days of the week. Read more
I ordered a reubenator on whole wheat bread for pickup. When I looked at my order the bread were the heels of the wheat bread,... the meat was dry, it was put together very sloppy. Read more
Good kosher eatery, really the only authentic kosher deli in the greater Cincinnati area that I'm aware of, but what do I know... I'm just a passenger passing through, repeatedly over the years.. This is the last surviving Izzy's location in downtownCincinnati after idiotic developers greedily seeking to pack a mid-tier Midwestern mid-sized town with more condominiums andhigh price apartments then the market will bear, gutted the original historical Izzy's, although from what I hear, they'veopened up new locations. The food? Well If you've ever been to a kosher deli in brooklyn, then you'll know the menu mostly.Though they have their own little quirks like these delicious potato pancakes that they have some special secret formula for andcomes with all the sandwiches. I particularly recommend their fish meals by the way. Although the Cod Reuben was slimmer than itwas the last time I passed through a couple years ago, but I think C-19 is shrinking everyone.. the price is significantlyhigher then it used to be. But everyone must deal with inflation today, and the food is worth it. The girl at the cashier,Beyond being a total cutie, seems to be a Sci-Fi and anime buff, and therefore the TV is always playing some interestingstreaming service film or TV show. Everyone that works there are pretty friendly but don't expect four star service, but that'snot what I would go to a place like this for. It's solid, it's good, you should come here and eat. After all, the place "hasrent to pay" Read more
Still good food but more cookie cutter. I miss the old, thick cut pickles and kraut that sat on the table but then Izzy is gone... too. It's worth the trip but has lost its unique atmosphere. Read more
I saw this restaurant on the food network channel. I visited it when I was there for the Cincinnati music festival. It was all... that they advertised it to be. The sandwich was great, service was on point and overall, an excellent choice for corned beefsandwiches. Everyone was friendly and even let us sample things before we ordered. Great place! Read more
Catering through Izzy?s was so great! They made last minute changes, were very accommodating and the food was so great! The... potato salad is delicious. Thank you for making my event memorable with your platters. Read more
Is there anything more Cincinnati than Izzy's? Maybe, but not many. Stacked corn beef reuben, potato pancakes, rice pudding and... Dr. Brown's is a perfect meal. More tasty than healthy but that's what Saturday's are for, right? Tip: Izzy's on Elm Streetacross from Piatt Park is open later than the Main Street location downtown. Read more
Was in town for a convention and found Izzy's from google maps. Prices was reasonable, the Reuben was one of the best I've had.... Friendly staff. Took time to actually chat with me some. Will return on my next trip to Cincinnati!! Read more
