Isaac’s Restaurant and Deli

Friendly attentive service good soups and sandwiches ! Pickles are good too! Serving Pepsi products and tried the Isaac’s crab cake sandwich good meaty crab cakes and good flavor.

I’ve heard of this place and wanted to try it out after talking about it at Google this week. The young and perky wait staff made the over whelming menu accessible. I tried a twisted chicken on a pretzel– a little greasy but good. My favorite sandwiches were the reuban, the flamingo and the rainbow parrot. Rainbow being the winner. The décor was straight out of a Jimmy Buffet fans no-​taste neon fantasy but the food was good as was the service and they handled a large crowd with grace and speed. The soups are interesting, I tried the eggplant parm which reminded me of baking pan scrapings in a bowl. I liked it but it was not really soup.

I decided to order carry out from this location. They don’t deliver on the weekends so I went to pick it up. The sandwich was very good. It has 12 oz. of meat in it and the sandwiches come with a choice of several sides. I chose the fruit salad. I asked the employee to throw in a few rolls of the pretzel bread and she happily obliged. The meal was well worth the money and the woman that helped me was very pleasant. I would definitely go back there if I am in that area again.

The Phoenix would be my favorite here. I actually worked at this location for 4 years, 10 years ago. At the time, I worked (Not making this up) At an Isaacs, managed by a man named Bob Evans, who had an assistant named Charlie Brown with a dog named Jimmy Dean… It was the most random strange coupling of things I’ve ever seen. If you know the owner you will understand the name of this establishment, the reason behind it, and the reason behind all the designs. However we are sworn to secrecy, but it definitely has something to do with a jilted lover and their affinity for pink. Back to the review
All the soups here are handmade, I know, I used to do it. Each one comes from a tomb of knowledge that gets delivered once a year that is 5 inches thick and holds every soup for the entire year in it. At the end of the year the book is mailed back and a new one takes its place. Every day they are made and when they sell out, they are out for awhile. My favorite was the Chedder Bacon Onion soup. I have no idea if they still make it, but it used 7 lbs of grated cheddar. You actually had to skim off the 2 inches of oil and fat that accumulated on the top before serving it.
The sandwiches are all made to order and are all bird names. Very strange to read a ticket that read Wild Turkey, Scarlet Ibis, Puffin and a Morning Dove and actually knowing how to make each one of those. Towards the end I started having nightmares that sandwiches with wings were eating my head so I had to move on to better things. The cook runs the entire store so if you come into this place when it’s busy do not be surprised to be waiting for your order a little longer than normal because there isn’t a whole lot of room to roam behind the counter, One cook to rule them all, one oven to bind them, one store to keep them all, and in the pinkness, feed them.
Ok that’s too much, I gotta stop this now, I’m getting too side tracked.
Oh yeah, they bake cookies and have a great dessert selection too, give this place a shot.

Eaten here many a time and I always enjoy the sammies here. I love how they bring out the deli pickle assortment to get you started.
Soups are also decent. Okay prices, quirky atmosphere– I never really understood what they were going for with the random birds/fish/80’s designs.
I love the scarlet ibis.
