"This is a clean place to eat. The food is delicious; the salads are crisp and fresh. They have a varied menu from vegan to pizza to hamburgers. Sandwiches taste like mother made them in from the kitchen from homemade chicken salad to turkey and even a BLT. All are on the freshest breads. I have never had a bad experience while eating at Izzy’s and delight in the fresh brewed hot teas that I have tried with the dab of honey. Waiters and waitresses are courteous and friendly. They go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. Parking is abundant in the parking lot that circles the restaurant. Handicapped spaces are marked for older individuals. The customers are young and older, and many families come into the eat restaurant to eat. I would recommend this to those looking for a superior, happy place to eat! ."

"Izzy’s is a timeless classic and a real treat when I return to Little Rock to visit. The food is always fresh, top-quality, perfectly prepared, and consistent across years. I’d been away a decade and returned there last Wednesday. I crave their Humus, and was not disappointed, the plate is a masterpiece! The hardest part is to decide between the many wonderful and unique dishes they offer, but I am never disappointed. Dessert is easier, for me, their lemon icebox pie is heavenly. Service matches their food quality. I wish there was an Izzy’s where I live now. Try it! You will not be disappointed."

"Good food that’s fresh, locally grown and sourced. I think some of it is organic as well. We had salads and the portion sizes were good. The staff were polite and kind and the service was fast. Lunch times are busy but that didn’t slow our meal down."
