Izzy's Brooklyn Smokehouse - Miami

"First time here Service was amazing Food was delicious We got the : Candied bacon - was good. Brisket tacos- delicious. I would have preferred extra pickled onions and whatever kind of tomato sauce was on it Pastrami sandwich - it comes with Cole slaw. That had no issues switching it out for fries. I think if the pastrami was sliced thinner and still stacked as high would have enjoyed it more. Burger- really good. I prefer my burgers well done. And it was amazingly delicious and not dry. French fries out of this world delish!"

"Really good food. And very nice service. I would have payed for it double! Lucky me I already paid. (;"

"When it comes to Izzy's Brooklyn Smoke in Aventura, there's a lot to appreciate. Firstly, the prices are quite fair, compare to the other kosher restaurants in Miami. The atmosphere adds a lot to the experience; it's a place where you can truly unwind and enjoy your meal. Speaking of which, the brisket flatbread is a standout - it's simply delicious. While the service was decent, the overall dining experience definitely left a positive impression."

"Wow! What an incredible establishment. Came here for a little lunch date and we left amazed. From the selection on the menu, to the quality of the food. We ended up choosing the sample platter that comes with brisket, burnt ends, pastrami, pulled beef, wings, fries, salad and more! Honestly some of the best bbq we’ve had… We had churros for dessert, and the strawberry syrup did not disappoint. So good! the service was amazing and the atmosphere was nice as well. Loved the playlist btw! Very laid back, we’ll be back for sure!!"

"Whoa, where do I start? Firstly, I’m used to going to the NY location back when I used to live there and just a block away! This location in Aventura is completely different. It’s big, it has atmosphere and the minute you walk in, the smoky wood smell hits you in the best way possible. They also have a beer and wine bar. But let’s talk about the food! I’ll go through each dish we tried because they each deserve that kind of recognition. The Pulled Beef fries: The pulled beef was rich with flavor and you can never go wrong with some dirty fries. We would absolutely order it again! The pulled beef empanadas: I know what you’re thinking, we don’t need two pulled beef dishes. Think again! The filling is so rich with flavor and everyone in our party was left impressed. My daughter hogged it all. Wood-fired Grilled eggplant: Omg this dish alone deserves an award. As an avid eggplant fan I was drooling over it. They smoke the eggplant and then top it with Tehina and honey, that perfect mix of savory and sweet mixed with the smokiness hit so right. They also served it with smoky charred bread and that combination was absolutely perfect. 10/10. My husband and sister in law who was with me aren’t eggplant fans, and even they enjoyed it! The Charred Beets: This came with a vinegar dressing and while I’m not a fan of vinegar I still think the beets tasted bland. We asked the manager about it and he said since they just opened it didn’t hash time to marinate like it should have. So while it wasn’t a hit for us, I def think it probably could be when executed properly. The Brisket: This is an Izzy’s classic and not to be missed. The fat part melted like butter in our mouth. The Minute Steak: We were asked to try this potentially new menu item, and the minute I saw it I didn’t have much hope for it. To my surprise it was delightfully flavorful and cooked at the perfect temperature. 10/10 The Pastrami Sandwich: This was the winner of the night. I don’t even know how to describe the richness and taste. It was just perfect. I’d go back to Miami just for this sandwich alone! The Churros: I’m constantly disappointed by churros in restaurants when they make it with no doughy middle. This had all the crispy outside, doughy inside goodness. It was excellent! If they keep up this quality and flavor, this can easily be one of the top Kosher restaurants in Miami. I said what I said!"
