Izzy's is always a delight for brunch. The food is stellar and the service is even better. Definitely make a reservation and enjoy anything on the menu! My friend is allergic to gluten and she can order everything here. There are always people waiting so I do feel bad about sticking around chatting but never feel rushed either. Can't wait to try more on the menu but I always go back to my favorites.

This food is amazing. We came here with a large group and they were wonderful. The fried chicken and cornbread are to die for. Everything is gluten-free, friendly or celiac friendly. I’m not gluten-free but some people in our party were. I would gladly eat here every week.

A Flavorful Gem in Coeur d’Alene – Comfort Food with a Cultural Twist Izzy’s Comfort Kitchen was the first restaurant I tried in Coeur d’Alene, and it truly set the bar high. While dining options in the area tend to lean toward American diners, breakfast joints, and Mexican fare, Izzy’s stands out with creative takes on Southern comfort food and cultural influences—even offering hints of Egyptian and Caribbean-inspired flavors. The menu features dishes you won’t easily find elsewhere, like oxtail soup, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp with grits, all elevated with bold, unexpected twists. They also proudly display their “Best of the Islander” awards, and it’s easy to see why—with options like a standout Bloody Mary and plenty of gluten-free offerings. We visited during Happy Hour and sampled a variety of dishes. The wings were incredibly crispy with a unique, flavorful dry rub that was unlike any I’ve had before—deep, savory, and absolutely addictive. The shrimp were charred just right, though slightly overcooked for my taste, but still rich in flavor thanks to their sweet and savory house sauce. The fried green tomatoes were softer than expected (I was hoping for more crunch), but they paired nicely with the vegetable sides. The fries were a last-minute addition—we spotted them at a nearby table and couldn’t resist. Thin, golden-brown, and extra crispy, they did not disappoint. What really made the experience exceptional was the service. The staff were attentive, fast, professional, and kind—bringing us extra boxes and condiments without us even asking. The entire atmosphere lived up to the restaurant’s name: warm, cozy, and comforting, with rustic yellow décor, floral accents, and bar-style light fixtures that added charm without feeling kitschy. We were seated right at 11 a.m. on a Wednesday, and by noon, the place was packed—always a good sign. Between the flavorful food, inviting atmosphere, and thoughtful service, Izzy’s Comfort Kitchen is a gem in Coeur d’Alene I’d definitely come back to—and recommend to anyone looking for something deliciously different.
