Our 1st time here. Was very impressed. Stephanie was our server, in fact she was doing the entire dining room. Did a fantastic job. Our drinks never went dry and was very attentive. We ordered the Reuben and the Angus melt. Along with the potato pancakes. Both sandwiches came out as requested with extra cheese and mine not toasted. Cudos to the chef for an excellent sandwich. Meat was super tender, juicy and very tasty. Potato cakes were really thick and puffy with a nice crispy outside. Dining room quickly filled up with lunch goers but Stephanie kept up with no problem. All while keeping used tables cleaned up for the next guest. Would definitely recommend coming here for some excellent service and food. We will be back for second helpings. Thanks so much

Always a great time! The waitress was great, she was so patient with our 4 year old son. The food was so good and just as we ordered. We don't get to go to Izzy's often since we live in Dayton but when we get to Cincy, we eat there!

If I could give it zero stars I would. I ordered this for the first time and placed a Togo order . They put no meat on the salad and gave me the wrong dressing. It was not good at all. The customer service when I called was not great either. Maybe other locations are better, but this one was horrible.

Service was top notch. Such a friendly face at the register. I placed a to go order. I decided to try the new Angus sammich. Roast beef had no flavor and was DRY DRY DRY. It was edible but nothing special. My go to is the izzy mex. I will stay w that from now on. Potato cake and cabbage soup were both delish!

Forest Park location- Went inside no one was there lady says sit down I'll be with you. We sit down two other tables sit down SHE GOES TO THEM BOTH FIRST takes drink orders then comes to us, no big deal. Then she brings drinks to the other table and takes there order when WE where there first. She goes back gets drinks for the other table takes them over gets there order and that is when we get up and say thanks for serving the people who got here after us first and giving us old dried out pickels we are leaving have a nice day.We left and I went back in because I had to use the bathroom asked her if she could tell me where the bathroom was and maybe she could actually provide some customer service and this arrogant witch has the nerve to tell me I'm nasty.

Love their food, we're in Cincy about once a month and Izzys is one of our favorite places to eat there and we were looking forward to eating there, but tonight we were shooed away 20 minutes before closing. Neither of us is difficult and we would've been done in a timely manner. We both noticed the crew was considerably younger than we're used to and perhaps that explains the poor lack of service because in the past they've always been good to us. No signage was posted telling us dining room was closed

First time I've visited Izzys and I was very much impressed.Your servers were very professional and courteous!You're menu is different from the other restaurants's, with so many great tasting items to choose from and all the pickels I want! Loved your Reuben sandwich with saurkraut and the potato salad was amazing!My hubby and I will return!Thank you!

Metal... There's metal in my potato. This is unacceptable and disgusting. It looks like a piece of a scrubber used to clean a grill maybe??? I'm so grossed out that I couldn't eat any of my food.I was asked in a response to email the president, John. I did so right away. Apparently he has had no interest in responding to my email. I can't believe I was asked to email if no reply would be given.

The first thing they brought us a bowls of pickles. Took our drink order. Took our lunch order. It came out fast. We ordered Reubens. The bread was sow fresh it was awesome. Thanks

Tasty choices beyond the famous Rueben and quick service. Worth driving out of your way for a delicious sandwich or meal
