Just last week our town was graced with a new family-owned restaurant. Small but mighty, Izzy’s Place is located at 36 Water Street at the rear just off Jones Street where the Canteen was located. Owner, Shannon Marriott, named her location after her daughter, Izzy (Isabella) who in turn is named after a family nickname for her grandfather and father.
Shannon has years of experience in the restaurant industry. She even worked at this location previously when it was Pathway Fish & Chips. She cites loving the fast-paced work environment the food industry offers and opened her own location when the opportunity came up.
Izzy’s offers an array of reasonably priced and delicious menu items, from breakfast to sandwiches, tacos, burgers, soups, salads, desserts and sides. All the food is homemade and locally sourced. The variety of her menu is impressive considering the size of the location. The menu will change from time to time with specials rotating to ensure prices can remain affordable. Shannon’s favorites are the Philly Cheesesteak with house-roasted beef which is a mainstay on the menu, and her Cabbage Roll Soup, one of her many homemade daily soups. All sandwiches come with a side of your choice and a beverage, making this a great option to choose from. See the butcher paper list for daily offerings along with the regular menu.
Special mention goes to the plethora of homemade sweets in the display case ranging from cookies, cupcakes, bars and parfaits. It’s a feast for the eyes! I ended up leaving with two boxes of goodies to share with friends, family and of course, indulge myself. I ended up lured back the following day for a delicious breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage and real melted cheddar - far superior to one you’d order from a drive-thru.
Currently it is take-out and cash only, debit will be coming soon. There are plans for a small outdoor eating area in the warmer months to come just off the walkway.
Hours weekly are Monday, Thursday and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hours will be reviewed to consider later closing times.
Make sure you check out this refreshing local spot and treat yourself!
