Izzy's Smokehouse - Brooklyn

The place and service looks like they are running an organ business, it's expensive , served with plastic kettles, BUT... It is so good. So we will come again. We took black and rino ribs. Both are excellent but my heart goes to rino ones. Wow this is simply great. We came back this year again, and all stays the same. Great place to go. For me, it is the number 1 restaurant in NYC. We came back again during summertime,this was great but please STOP using the BBQ sauce in all dishes. Great meat doesn't need sauce at all.

Highly recommend all the meat. We ordered the lamb ribs, burned ends, wings, and pastrami. Every entree comes with pickles and red cabbage. Everything was ready in ten minutes. It was all licking my fingers delicious!! The best in my opinion was the lamb ribs. Interesting options for local beer. I added a photo of what i got, it had a tropical flavor that i enjoyed greatly. The place is small, only 4 tables (seats 18) and a few outdoor as well. We came at 4:30 and by 5 the line was almost out the door and no seating available. Definitely go early if you want to sit down. Husbands favorite was the pastrami, which came with a horseradish mayo and mustard! We definitely will eat here again! Great food!

Wow wow wow, literally the place to go if you want pure unadulterated beef!! Starting with the chicken adobo tacos, the combination of a soft flour tortilla combined with moist chicken and a savory blend of toppings and sauce, absolutely delicious. From there we move on to the holy grail of smoked meats - The Dino rib! Just imagine tender melt in your mouth pieces of meat with that perfect smoke ring and a beautiful salt and pepper bark flavor. You have to get this if you come! To top it all off we had the pulled beef fries which honestly was just plain yum, the horseradish mayo really gave that nice kick and finished off the sweetness of the pulled beef. Overall 5/5 and definitely going to be here often, I just can’t think of another place that offers comparable beef. Period.

Definitely lives up to the hype! Been following for a long time and always wanted to come, so when I was in NY this week I had to go. The food and portions were excellent and something you definitely cannot get elsewhere. Highly recommend the smoked chicken sandwich and the tacos! Service was great and the food was fresh with amazing flavour. Would love to see a location in London 😉 Definitely take the time to visit and enjoy!

Very good BBQ spot, I liked everything I ordered. The brisket was tender and moist. The pulled beef fries were crisp and the beef wasn't dry. The sides of pickles, slaw, and baked beans were simple but delicious; they had the right amount of acid to cut through the savory flavors. The price is a little higher but worth it for an occasional BBQ craving. My only suggestion for the business is they fix their wobbly tables and wipe the tops between guests.

One of the first things I saw when I got to the front of the line was the cook slicing the meat. It looked so good! It is a small place so there are not many seats. It is not fancy either; people are in and out quickly. Everything is served on trays too. We were able to get seats pretty quickly. The vibe is kind of dark but energized. We got the dino ribs, back ribs, the smoked brisket, and some sides. They were so tender. The spotlight is totally on the meat- very little sides (just some cabbage salad and pickles) and sauce to distract from the focus on the meat's texture and flavor. I heard the best thing is the fried chicken. I am excited to go back and try that and everything else!!!
