I had given up hope on the restaurants in this neighborhood, but Iggy's revived me! Their matzo ball soup is super hot and fresh with the perfect amount of saltiness. The brisket sandwich is out of this world on a fresh, local sesame seed hoagie roll from Ryze Up bakery. I got mine without the horse radish sauce. We also ordered some fries and they were awesome! Hot and fresh with a yummy aioli sauce for dipping on the side. The service is so friendly and down to Earth. The ambiance is very casual but, quaint. We will definitely be back when we are on this side of the city and I highly recommend! read more

My sister & I decided to check out Izzy's for lunch. Greeted & seated we ordered eggs Benedict & The Caprese Scramble. Everything was on point. They offered sliced avocado in place of a salad for my sister. Great addition to the Balboa corridor. You get what you pay for. Good service & food. read more

Very nice place with large enough outdoor seating. I've tried their sandwiches before. It's a bit pricey for the portion size but ingredients are good, which explains $$$ Today I decided to step out of my comfort zone and order Benedict eggs with pork belly extra. I was disappointed as latkes were mushy, eggs hard boiled rather than runny or at least soft boiled. I will probably come back in a couple of months to give it a shot but today I left a bit disappointed (I know I know! First world problems but for $30 I want my eggs to be cooked right). Staff is very very sweet and moving around fast as they get very busy on weekends. read more

Our new favorite breakfast spot! The servers were so incredibly nice and the music they were playing during lunchtime was amazing. Our favorite was the chicken schnitzel sandwich. 8.5/10 The sesame bread was absolutely incredible, the chicken was plentiful and super juicy. We also got the classic breakfast which we enjoyed the latkes the best on. The sausages were a bit salty. They were out of a few things on the menu. read more

Great food and customer service,highly recommended .Iggy owner of that restaurant are very kind,friendly and knowledgeable.

A lonely Saturday, a man and his dog walking, the man's thinking about bills and chores, the dog looking for street food. There's none. And then the two happen upon a lively scene, sit down and the day is transformed. An Italian scramble, a glass of wine, some friendly banter with cheerful staff and suddenly it's a new day. read more

A true neighborhood favorite! We love this little cafe. It's been a great addition to the Outer Richmond. The sandwiches are excellent (love the bread!) and highly recommend brunch (great pancakes!) Friendly service, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options, and a warm atmosphere. Give it a try! read more

Visited on a Saturday for lunch. We ordered the Caesar salad with sardines, the House Club sandwich, and the Benedict. Everything tasted ok, nothing stood out though. Staff were friendly and service was good. read more

Still delicious! Their matzo ball soup didn't have much chicken in it today. Maybe 1-2 strands which is but $12 for a bowl isn't terrible, just wish there was at least a decent portion of chicken. One of the BEST things about this place is the bread they get from rise up bakery. It's has sesame seeds and is one of the best taking breads I've ever had. I almost wish they sold the bread alone here. Their Italian sandwich was probably the best sandwich I've had in the last year. Such a pleasant surprise. It is in the shade so even if it's a hot a$$ day in SF like today, it'll still get a good breeze and be cooler! They do however need to upgrade their outdoor tables. One slight tap with your leg and the table goes crashing down. read more

We came here for dinner, and were immediately welcomed by the staff. They were so kind and told us about their story as we sat down, and gave us recommendations for our order. The restaurant is a little area, and reminds me of a home. When we placed our orders, it only took about ten to fifteen minutes before the food came out. The food overall was great! I initially got the wrong item, but the server caught it and I was given the right dish about fifteen minutes after. I loved the grains in my chicken dish, and my friends' dumplings were also very soft and pillowy. I appreciate the homeyness of Iggy's and would recommend others try as well. read more

Awesome spot. Went for a walk along the Great Highway then worked up an appetite. Complete impromptu visit. I immediately noticed that they had indoor as well as outdoor setting. Breakfast lunch and brunch. I got a bacon and egg sandwich which was fantastic. My friend got a soup and salad which she really enjoyed. Generous portions. Servers were great. Very friendly and helpful. What started out as an impromptu visit will be a place I would definitely come back to. read more

Small and cute eatery. Indoor and outdoor seatings. I didn't stay to eat and got the food to go. Monday - Thursdays they do a deal on half sandwich combo. The server was nice and I am sure gets asked recommendation but it seems she doesn't want to steer the customers wrong and says it person preference on what they like texturally. Saying that I am not sure if it was because I order 1 hour before it close but the brisket sandwich was really soggy unless the sandwich was supposed to be a moist sandwich? The matzo ball soup is light and delicious and I enjoyed the sesame bread, it was really soft. If I am in the neighborhood again I may come back but next time to sit and eat. read more

Give this place a try if you are hungry for a delicious sandwich. Everything is homemade. They even make their own bread. Not only did hubby and I enjoy it, our pup liked it too. All of us sat at an outside table, cozying up to a heat lamp. We plan to return. read more

This is a really nice brunch cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. Water is self serve but you can order at the table. I like that they accept the Blackbird pay which is the loyalty program I use. I was here because of the Dia de Los Muertos event I heard about from Supervisor Connie Chan's email newsletter. My friend and I really enjoyed our brunch and the event down the street. This is my first time having potato latkes which is like hash brown with apple sauce. read more

The hostess and server were so sweet and were always cheerful when talking to us. The food was amazing, comforting and just all around delicious. Their ingredients also tasted very fresh and made with care. We got the corned beef hash with jalapeño cilantro sauce on top. For snackies we got the latkes, which are potato pancakes and came with two sauces. Definitely try this place for brunch on Balboa if you like warm and fresh brekky on a heated outdoor patio! read more

Aside from the excellent service, the food here is truly incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming. We were seated right away on the outdoor patio, which was clean, inviting, and set to great music. Our server came over promptly, took our drink order, and happily offered recommendations when we asked. Everything they suggested did not disappoint. The food arrived quickly, looked absolutely beautiful, and tasted even better. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Came here with a friend to quick catch-up brunch. We ordered 2 sandwiches and the borscht soup. The sandwiches were neatly cut into halves so of course we had to swap our halves so we each can have a different sandwich! The sandwiches were good. It was nice and hearty but doesn't have the flavor that I'm used to from a sandwich like this. I would have wanted a savory sauce or a dressing? Just needed a little bit more. I'm willing to come back to try another sandwich because it was still a good sandwich. The soup was ok and it was definitely better with the sour cream that they provide. I couldn't pick up much flavor from it but this is my first time having borscht so I have nothing to compare it to. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful! My friend was using a new method of paying and she made sure everything went smoothly! read more

I ordered take out from here on a whim. I ordered the Italian hoagie and a side of the potato salad. Everything was great. The sandwich was well constructed and held up well even after traveling via delivery. All of the modifications (no mozz and roasted red peppers on the side) were honored. The potato salad was really good and didn't taste too mayo-y yet was still well dressed. Definitely planning to try this place in person. read more

Such a great, casual brunch or lunch spot in the area! We were coming out of the Legion of Honor museum and finishing up a Lands End Hike when we discovered this place nearby. We enjoyed every dish we tried. The cuisine seems to be Eastern European inspired and every dish features high quality ingredients and generous portions. You will not leave this place hungry! There's outdoor and indoor seating options and the service is friendly and fast. We were very pleased. Thanks for the great meal! read more

Very cute quaint neighborhood cafe. Love that they have indoor and outdoor seating. Thoughtful food. Kind and helpful service. Sandwiches are a bit pricey but they're also huge and made with quality ingredients, local bread, and generous portions of meat. The pickles here are also terrific. With that being said, well worth it in my opinion. These sandwiches are big enough to share especially if you're wanting other stuff like soup or salad. I ordered the club and it was fantastic. I love that they put it on this beautiful crusty roll rather than the standard three pieces of sliced bread that it typically goes on. I know it's traditional, but I've always hated that extra piece of bread in the middle. To me, that extra piece of bread always just makes the sandwich look bigger and somewhat aesthetically appealing but when you eat it it's really nothing more than a filler. The bread they use on this sandwich.. way better!! We also shared the arugula salad with beets, Gorgonzola, candied walnuts, and sunflower vinaigrette. The dressing was delicate and unique, and the salad had lots of delicious beets. I like a little bit more acid and tang in my vinaigrette but this was still lovely. This salad also eats like a meal itself. If I lived in this neighborhood, I would come here for lunch all the time. The half and half is a great option. There is no kid's menu here which isn't the end of the world. That being said, since there isn't a kid's menu, it would be a great consideration to add a smaller portion for little ones. Like pancakes and French toast. The order for pancakes is HUGE and way too big for a 3 year old. Those can easily be made into a smaller order. I know it's often a pain in the butt to serve children. They're loud, messy, and children's menu's are typically cheaper. I get it. But they are people and they do have to eat so it would be nice to have a few offerings suitable for them. The pancakes were quite delicious but the syrup was off to me. It was very thin and cloying. Not like maple syrup. It tasted artificial like it was made with Aspartame or nutrasweet. I don't typically like fruit on pancakes but the fruit on these pancakes were exceptional. Fresh strawberries and blackberries. Maybe tossed with a little sugar? Not sure but it was delicious. I will have to come back to try the matzoh ball soup. Unfortunately, we just didn't have enough room. Great neighborhood spot. read more

Stopped in here for lunch after my brother had breakfast here last week. The safe is so kind and most importantly the food is excellent. They use Rize up bread in their sandwiches, which totally elevates the food. (Rize up is a local, black owned bakery that was born during the pandemic). I love how they are using local. Anywho- the food is light, options endless, outdoor and indoor seating and you can have a variety of things. Can't say I have had one bad item here! They also accommodate modifications to your Sammies. Stop in here for a great locally made and owned meal. Metered street parking when I went around 1330 in the afternoon was ample. read more

Saw great reviews for this place and today I found out why. The sandwich I ordered was fantastic in terms of taste, construction, and textures. The Italian: A I grew up eating a lot of mortadella sandwiches so this definitely hit the spot. It's salty but balances out quite well with the mozzarella, lettuce, and tomato. The sesame bread they used is soft and easy to bite into. And they have a mayo/sauce that tastes very delicious. I ordered online and it was ready in 10 minutes as promised. $19 for a sandwich after tax is a bit pricey but you're paying for quality here and they met my expectations. read more

I went to this quaint little shop months ago and didn't expect much. I noticed they had a beef tongue sandwich on their menu so I got that. It was cold, refreshing and impressively tender. If it weren't for the veggies and bread, I probably didn't even have to chew. Speaking of bread, their buns are super fresh, as are the rest of their ingredients. I've since tried all their sandwiches and they're all amazing. However, the beef tongue will always be my favorite. I can't find anything like it at other shops so I hope this place is here forever. read more

First, the service is outstanding. The ambiance was very pleasant and charming. Very clean and seating is very limited. It is a quintessential neighborhood small restaurant. The food was pretty good. We thought the food was overall very good. To nitpick: there was one huge lonely matzo ball, and it was a little cold in the middle. The borscht was so small it was just a sampler. The meatballs were terrific and the chicken schnitzel was amazing. The chocolate cake was a little dry, but was amazing. Overall a terrific place, but be prepared to pay some bucks for the experience. read more

Brisket sandwich is heavenly. Brisket is perfect. Carmelized onions are perfect. Whatever sauce that is is tasty. Pretty sure they didn't see my to-go order there waiting but I don't care cause the sandwich was worth the wait. I bet everything at Iggys is delicious but I can never pass up on the brisket sandwich to order anything else. Worth the wait. Worth the price. I'll be back...probably in a couple days. read more

Great food, great service, and cute restraunt!! This was my first restaurant in San Francisco and it did not disappoint!!

Probs take my review with a grain of salt - I got the sardine sandwich, borsch, and it was a delivery order. I'll say that I really liked the sardine sandwich. It had good flavor and loved being able to see all the components (sardine, pickles, eggs, red onions, and lettuce). Would be open to coming here for their brisket sandwich or other sandwiches. As for the borsch, I was let down because it didn't have any punchy flavor of dill or pork butt and had - what I would say - a disproportionate amount of cabbage/shredded carrots. My ranking of borscht in SF = (1) Cinderella Bakery, (2) Leleka...I wouldn't put this one on the list/get it again. read more

Great brunch spot on the Balboa corridor. Happy to have this spot nearby! High quality ingredients make for a delicious food experience. A lot of homemade ingredients with a fresh Ukrainian twist like Borscht and Kvas. We love the French toast - it's fluffy and moist with a hint of orange. Topped with fresh fruit, maple syrup and house made whipped cream. The bacon, sausage and latkes here are also hearty and worth the trip! Highly recommended read more

Great service, spot and ambiance. I was just hoping for something a little bit more for the price. The food was very filling, but the eggs Benedict didn't seem to match. The poached egg, biscuit and extra tangy sauce didn't seem to match. Then add $6 for protein seemed a bit much. The corned beef and eggs were ok, but seemed a bit bland. I might try a sandwich as they seem to have better reviews but I'd like for this to be a more exciting breakfast spot. Here's to hoping that they can make something work. read more

Cute place. The waitstaff is earnest and helpful. I was disappointed with the food - the brisket was soo tough and stringy. Having just come back from Austin, I had some great brisket. This was the polar opposite - it was overbooked flavorless beef. The latkes were not at all crispy - more soft and not hot. Kind of just limp and tasteless - couldn't taste any onions. I am not sure why the high ratings? This would be a two star in NYC at best. read more

We decided to check this place out based on all the high reviews and little did we know it was under new management and new menu that expanded into brunch AND dinner Thursday nights with live bands!!! Too bad it was Saturday around 1:30p. Hee. Nevertheless, my Boyfriend got a meaty pulled pork sandwich. He real enjoyed, but he said the sandwich had too much meat for his liking. Yet, he said it was very juicy and tender! The French toast was PERFECT! the crème on top was delicious and tasted freshly made and there were so many berries I ran out of bread to eat with all the berries! Hahaha I also LOVED their mild roast HOUSE COFFEE! I'm super picky and don't like dark roast coffee, yet I know it's easier for restaurants to order French/dark roast coffees, I just add water and sugar to them! Hahaha I favor my mild roast coffee black and their coffee was PERFECT! It had a bit of a zing/tangy flavor to the coffee and that paired perfectly with my French toast !!! The server was incredibly helpfully and friendly. A college aged young lady and then an older lady and gentleman gave us our lunch and coffee. Extremely friendly and sweet! The lady told us how they bought this place back in October and started changing/adding new menu items! Great ideas!!!! I'm a HUGE FAN of this place and want to check out their $18 crab cake on a Thursday night with their live music! read more

What's hella scary looking but bomb? Cow/beef tongue. Boiled, stewed, grilled, bbq'd, pan-fried, smoked, in a headcheese...I haven't met a preparation that I haven't liked. I know it's freakishly crazy looking but it's so deliciously beefy and tender. And, before you yuck someone's yum....it's probably cleaner than some people's mouffs. Just sayin'. Iggy's Place had me at Beef Tongue Sandwich! They may be the only sandwich shop in the city serving it (not sure if Seakor makes one with their beef tongue headcheese?). Last winter, the owners of Borscht Mobile (Russian and Ukrainian food truck) opened their brick & mortar: Iggy's Place at the former Cassava/Cassava Wine Bar space. They're open for takeout, delivery, indoor, and dog-friendly outdoor seating. Visited on a weekday before a nearby medical appointment. They're fast and efficient so a great option if you're on a time crunch. M E N U Modern Eastern European Sandwiches along with their signature borsch and matzo ball soup, and salads. They also have breakfast sandwiches available on day. On weekdays, they have salad, soup, and sandwich combos. For weekend brunch, they have BYOB for $10. F O O D: * Beef Tongue Sandwich w/ cold cut beef tongue, balsamic reduced onion, arugula, tomatoes, garlic+sriarcha aioli, rize up seeded hoagie ($18) // 3.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/4enp2fwk I love beef tongue so I was hyped for this. A well-stacked sandwich made with quality ingredients including SF based Rize Up's semolina hoagie roll studded with sesame seeds. I'm a fan of Rize Up's bread but the hoagie was a bit tough so I wish they toasted it for an enhanced texture and flavor. The cold cuts of beef tongue were on the dry side and didn't have much flavor. The balsamic reduced onions helped but IMO, it needed more punch/acid to cut through the marbling of congealed fat. This is where in between bites of the tangy slaw came in clutch. Don't get me wrong, it was a fine sandwich but I think my expectations were a little too high given the raving reviews. * Coleslaw ($6) // 4 stars Standard coleslaw mix dressed in a mayo-vinaigrette giving it a nice tang and slight creaminess. Maybe they can consider adding a little something like dill, caraway seed, or even horseradish to make it stand out? S E R V I C E Friendly and fast! Order and pay at the counter, and your order will be brought to you. Always appreciate the efficiency. A M B I A N C E Cute and cozy dining area with several tables and window counter seats. There's sidewalk tables and an awesome parklet with animal murals. P A R K I N G Metered and residential parking. Can be quite challenging on the weekends.

It's a hole In the wall that serves great food! We went for lunch and had 1/2 sandwich and soup. I had the pork belly sandwich and tried for the very first time borscht soup. My husband ordered the roast pork sandwich and the chicken matzo soup. Our food was so delicious! The borscht was omgoodness so very good...the waitress brought it with sour cream and mayonnaise I did add a pinch of salt and had it with both mayo and sour cream. My husband's soup was the best matzo soup I've ever had! The friendly lively waitress told me it was served vegan and it was her favorite. The cooks were friendly and accommodating.

3.75 Don't be fooled by the sign outside. Once Cassava is now Iggy's Place. This neighborhood breakfast joint was the perfect place to satisfy my hunger. It looked like the owner was training a very young girl to manage the cashier while a young boy served me my food. Very wholesome to see these young kids working and learning skills that will benefit them in the future. I had the latke with Italian sausage and scrambled eggs. You can't mess up scrambled eggs. The Italian sausage was really good; had lots of flavor and cooked perfectly. The latke was a little disappointing as it was crispy, the inside was kind mushy. Great service. read more

Unfortunately, the food does not meet up to the expectations listed in the owner's replies on yelp or descriptions on their own site. My girlfriend and I decided to try a new spot since we were in the area. Iggy's Place was nearby and we love supporting family owned businesses and decided to give it a shot. The price was high for two sandwiches ($20 each) and an order of fries ($9). Reading the reviews gave us a preconceived quality to expect. When picking up, the restaurant was empty. I was immediately greeted by staff and was told they were just waiting on one more item to complete the order. The order was placed to-go since we wanted to eat at home to have a quick meal before working on school work. After digging in to the food we were immediately disappointed with what we received. The description of the fries online state, "herbs and garlic confit served with sriracha aioli." To my surprise the fries were plain, with just salt and pepper, with a side of ketchup and the aioli. The bread for the Ruben that I had ordered was completely burnt. It was difficult to discern any of the flavor of the ingredients inside due to the overwhelming charred taste. Overall the food was lacking in depth of flavor and came off very one note. I did not call the restaurant or return for a refund as it was a 20 minute drive, not accounting for the rain. We ate the food because we were already hungry, and it would been very inconveniencing to drive another 20 minutes back to the restaurant and then wait somewhere else for something different to eat. The ingredients may be high quality, but what matters most is the quality of the food that is served to the customer. Being that the Ruben was $20, served on burnt bread, despite having little to no business at the time is kind of crazy. We most likely will not be trying this restaurant again. read more
