Information About Izzy’s Smokehouse (Brooklyn)

About Izzy’s Smokehouse (Brooklyn)

Open since the summer of 2015, Izzy’s BBQ boldly made its mark on the map as New York City’s first Kosher Smokehouse. Stepping inside Sruli “Izzy” Eidelman’s unassuming Brooklyn storefront is like stepping inside an aromatic, warm and cozy food haven. With its clean and simple décor, you quickly realize and appreciate that this place is all about the food. And boy, that food! Go ahead and get your hands dirty – this food begs to be devoured with abandon. The mood is laid-back, intimate and jovial and will ensure this spot soon becomes one of your favorite places to meet up with close friends to kick back with a craft beer and some serious Texas Style BBQ.

Sruli Eidelman, a 29-year-old Brooklynite who’s always had a passion for food decided to open Izzy’s after much prodding by friends to turn his hobby of BBQ into an actual business. His mentor and inspiration was Texas-born Ari White, dubbed The Brisket King by the NY times food critics and the Food Network and Sruli won the 2017 title himself. Sruli uses his smoker on basically everything, relying on a 24-hour crew to help supervise the fire. The beef, lamb, and poultry are smoking over oak and cherry woods for most of a day.

Sruli is front and center slicing and weighing out the meats directly in front of your eyes and salivating, dropped jaw. The ginormous "Dino Rib" covered in a massive chunk of beef and the brisket are the stars of the show. Tender meat with salt and pepper bark might change your perspective on life forever – or at least your relationship with beef. You will fall madly in love. The fried chicken sandwich is another stunner – it’s smoked, then marinated and fried in house batter, topped with sriracha lime sauce, horseradish mayo and pickles in a toasted pretzel bun. The sweet and spicy smoked chicken wings are another MUST. One bite of the pulled beef and you’ll be sold for a few orders of tacos and sandwiches. Don’t overlook the classics on the menu such as the burger or the mashed potatoes. The burger raises the bar of juicy and flavorful burgers.

If you’re looking for subtle flavors, you’ve come to the wrong place. My advice is to go with friends and split everything on the menu. Come hungry and in your stretchiest pants.
