Izzy’s is a great place. a staple of downtown Cincy. They are known for their Ruben. However I recommend the Izzy’s Mex (spicier Ruben) or “The Suzzy” which is turkey and cranberry-orange relish with cream cheese… it’s better than it sounds.

Great place! I love Rubens and they are the best Ive had. The kosher pickles and the potato cakes are wonderful. We buy the jar pickles when ever we can find them. When in Cincinnati, find an Izzys!

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.”
