The Cod Father Becomes A Catholic Favorite
For years now Izzy’s John Geisen takes on his alter ego—the Cod Father. The Cod Father gets especially popular during the Season of Lent. He has become a Cincinnati tradition. 2010 is no exception as Lent begins on 17 February and ends on April 3, which is the day before Easter.
The Cod Father is serving up the tastiest fish sandwich in the tri-state! Stop in at any of Izzy’s 9 locations and taste one for yourself!

“Absolutely fantastic pastrami Reuben on a pretzel bun! Chicken noodle soup was fresh with Bowie pasta. The potato pancakes were crispy pillows of heavenly goodness. Oh, and the pickles were amazing and I dont usually like pickles! I sure wish we had one in Toronto!! ”

“Good, quick service and delicious food. Sort of a New York deli menu with a diner feel. Famous for Reubens. Their potato pancakes are the real winner though, don't miss them! Their soups are always good too.”

“Im a big fan. I had lunch on a weekday and it was 90% full. The service was excellent. It was my first time and everyone was very patient and explained what that Izzy is known for their reuben. The Reuben was amazing. The pickles were also amazing. I would recommend Izzys to my friends. ”

“2nd time to dine at Izzys. THIS PLACE IS OFF THE CHAIN! The "Famous Reuben" is amazing! This place is a MUST STOP when in the Florence area. The service was good and my beverage stayed full - even brought a to go cup without asking. ”

“Izzys always has good sandwiches, particularly any Reuben variation because the sauerkraut is always crisp and tart. The pickles are the real star though, and we inhale as many as possible every time we visit. The potato pancakes are unique and definitely worth a try - particularly if you are expecting something like a hash brown patty or a soft doughy cake. ”

“Mmm Reubens! I come here for a quick lunch and they are super friendly and prompt. I like to get the reuben salad. It is quite large and a very cool take on the traditional sandwich. It is jam packed with "good" lettuce, sauerkraut, grated swiss cheese, corned beef, chopped pickles, and topped with their homemade thousand island dressing. The cool finishing touch is rye bread croutons which seem to be homemade. They also have good sweet tea! ”

“I first started going to Izzys over 40 years ago. I remember Izzy working behind the counter across the street from WLWT. The food I had tonight was as good as when Izzy would hand me my sandwich in the 70s! ”

“Was in the area shooting a wedding and wanted to eat something different then the same old stuff. Looked on Yelp and saw the great reviews so we tried it out. Food was great, staff was funny, and the price was perfect for what we got. Next time we are in Cincinnati we will have to stop by again. Give it a shot and go for the Ruben its great!”
