This year we’re celebrating our 120th birthday! (People tell us we don’t look a day over 100 all the time!) Since 1901 we have been honored to serve the great people of Cincinnati, and visitors from all around this country, our secret family recipes that have made us a true Cincinnati icon… And we’re just getting started!
You’ve come for our world’s famous reuben, illustrious potato pancake, our acclaimed pickles that’ll make you pucker 🙂 and delicious menu offerings that can only be had here.
We enjoy your stories of Izzy and Rose’s banter, not having menu prices posted (you better not come dressed in a suit, it will cost your more), or getting a cheaper price because you laughed at one of Izzy’s jokes.
Over the past century plus, we thoroughly enjoy seeing each and every smiling face share in and make the Izzy’s experience special, because when you have the heart, desire and belief that something is special, the end result is special!

Over the next 4 weeks we are going to be having various opportunities to save on Izzy’s food, win prizes and visit the stores for some swag:
We’re just going to come out and say it: We’ve missed seeing you inside our dining rooms and putting smiles on your faces! Now that we can see each other inside our restaurants again, we can’t wait to craft all the delicious favorites you love – and make sure we keep you healthy and safe in the process.
Izzy’s, Greater Cincinnati’s home for the World’s Greatest Rueben sandwiches, has implemented several safeguards to make sure you will be able to enjoy your next visit to our restaurants – be it for dine-in service, drive-thru or carryout. (Don’t worry – we’re still available for delivery, too!) So, the next time we see you, things may look a little different inside, but we’re doing it all to make sure you enjoy the same quality meals you’ve come to expect.
Some of the changes you may notice include:
TABLE SETTINGS
OUR EMPLOYEES
You will not be required to wear a mask to enter our locations. We will, however, post a list of COVID-19 symptoms at each entrance and request customers experiencing any of them to respectfully not enter our restaurants. Additionally, hand sanitizing stations will be available as they currently are, at or near the registers and near all entrances/exits.
As we adjust to our new normal, we want to make sure we do everything possible to provide you with the food you love in a space in which you feel comfortable. Izzy’s is here to serve you safely; come on in and see us – we’ve got rent to pay!
Sincerely,
John Geisen

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!

The best! Yummy. Love potato pancakes and pickles as much as the sandwiches. ★★★★★★★★★★ 10★s.

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!!
