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!

“Top of the list if you are visiting or live in Cincy. The reubens and potato pancakes are awesome! The turkey wraps are fantastic too. I’m hungry just talking about it…”

“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. ”

“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!! ”

“Longtime fans "love" this landmark Cincinnati deli with locations throughout the city serving "hearty", "overstuffed" sandwiches (particularly the "terrific" Reuben) along with "famous" pickles and "second-to-none" potato pancakes; although the decor reminds some of a grade-school lunchroom, it's affordable and the staff is "a hoot."”

“I love Izzys!!! I go to the one on Mall Road in Florence. The staff are super friendly and the food is delicious!! We love the kids eat free Saturdays as well. The only thing I dont like is that the broccoli cheese soup was taken off the menu. ”

“Awesome server! Beef and barley soup was great even by itself. Ruben and potato cakes were nice going with it. Also enjoyed the carrot cake. Recommended to anyone passing through the Cincinnati area! ”
