My wife and I were spending the day in Coeur d'Alene and decided to grab breakfast at Izzy's. Lucky for us, we called for a reservation cause these folks are PACKED. Once we experienced the super-friendly service and delicious food, we understood what all the fuss was about. My wife had the Benedict and I had the biscuits and gravy and it was hard for us to choose which was better. The vibe was intimate and "down homey" and it felt like a neighborhood hang out. Don't miss your chance to have one of the best breakfasts at Izzy's whenever you are hungry in Coeur d'Alene read more

Man! I had high hopes for this place. My husband ordered the corn bread which was put of this world. But that was about all that was good. We ordered the spring salads with grilled chicken. It was ok. Not worth $17. Then they ran out of blue cheese crumbles and ran to the store. Sadly to say I never got them which might have added to the taste of the salad given it was supposed to come with them. We waited a very long time for our salads. And a very long time for the bill which I thought the might credit a dollar or two due to running out of blue cheese. But no. Just an apology. Indoor eating is very loud. So be prepared. Also the bathroom had no hand towels to dry my hands. Sorry to be disappointed. It might have been an off day as it seems pretty popular. read more

I think their menu had changed from couple years ago a bit. Items that I were looking for , based on other yelpers reviews, are no longer on the menu Mac and cheese 2/5 It was small, it only gad bacon bits , very cheesy and cost a steep $18 Shrimp and grit 4/5 Only 6 pc of shrimp and shrimp was salty Shrimp toast 5/5 Corn bread 5/5 easily the best cornbread I've eaten in my life Portion : not big Mac and cheese not recommended read more

The food was really good. Surprised by the quality and what you get for your money. Service is so friendly but a bit slow on a busy Saturday so just bring time. I loved their avocado sandwich! We were sitting outside and just love the outdoor area! read more

My partner has family in CDA so I'm always on the lookout to try something new when we're there. Not sure where I found the recommendation for Izzy's but I'm glad I did. Not only is Izzy's a gluten free cafe, the food is next level. Inventive, fresh, flavorful and a blend of traditional favorites with modern twists. I was torn between the shrimp and grits and the Virginia Benedict. The fried Green tomatoes instead of a traditional English muffin sounded too delicious to pass up. It was perfectly portioned, seasoned and balanced. Beautifully poached egg topped with micro greens and tangy pickled white onions nestled between delicious fried Green tomatoes and blackened shrimp. Creamy, velvety hollendaise brought everything together. My partner had a delicious omelet with Idaho potatoes Oh, lavender mimosas with edible flowers were a nice touch too. Only 44 seats including a small counter, so reservations are recommend. But there is great shopping in the area if you have a wait like we did. This is a must try whether you're gluten free or not. I'll be back for those grits! read more

We've always had a wonderful experience at Izzy's. I've learned to always make reservations online. It seems to be quite the sought after place to eat. The food is always excellent. The ambience is fun. The service is amazing and I wanted to say a special shout out to Megan who made an extremely wonderful virgin style bloody Mary for my husband. She's an incredible waitress that takes care of her people with grace, charm and a beautiful attitude. Thank you ! We will return as often as we can. read more

Yum yum yum You got to try this place! Cute locals place- sunny decor. Great service - Myah was amazing Good prices for large portions. I got a Peach Bourbon burger It Came with a good size patty lots of cheddar cheese, shoestring fried onions, not too sweet barbecue sauce and actually had peaches on it! My friend got the Buffalo chicken sandwich which was like franks sauce but better, not just vinegar-y but also had spice. Tasted good with the pickles it came with. Both came with a heaping pile of fresh fries that had skin on them so you knew they were fresh and made out of potatoes They offered fry sauce which was delicious and better than ketchup - not as sweet with thousand island vibes without the pickles. I didn't think I liked thousand island but this stuff was gooood We shared what I thought were gf berry scones but might have been biscuits, they were more doughy then expected but still good. Fun to try once but prob wouldn't reorder. Came with blackberries, blueberries and strawberries and the end of their fresh made whipped cream lol. I'd come back for the brunch because I've heard good things! We missed it since we came around 2:40pm But they have happy hour wed- Fri from 11am -4pm so that was def temping since we hit that time slot and the prices were good on the happy hour menu. Can't wait to go back and try brunch or their burger with mashed potatoes and Birria on top! read more

Wow. Where to start? The food is absolutely amazing we ordered the pimento green tomato BLT and the apple chicken sandwich. I wish I took pictures but one bite and it was game on. Rockstar quality for sure. Rider was our server extremely nice as well as all the staff that stopped by to refill our drinks : clean plates. We sat outside and got to meet some of the local pups that were also on the patio. Hands down some of the best food I've had in a looong time. Renewed my faith in restaurants lets put it that way. read more

We stopped here for brunch on a weekend. The place was quite crowded and had a 20minute wait time, although our table was ready sooner than expected. We got some coffees and a couple of benedicts -- Idaho benedict and Virginia benedict. I loved the Virginia benediction which contained shrimp, fried green tomatoes and poached eggs. The portion though small, was perfect for me and tasted great. The food took quite a while to arrive, something to keep in mind if you are hungry, you'll need a bit of patience. The staff was friendly, and service was good. read more

It's rare that I extend a 5-star rating, but man, Izzy's earned it. We arrived around 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, without a reservation, and waited for about a half hour for a table inside. The moral of this story is make a reservation. We ordered the shrimp toast (oh my God!!!!) for an appetizer. Let me say it again; oh my God!!! Enough said. My boyfriend had the Midtown Madness burger. He snarfed it down and enjoyed every bite. I ordered the soup and salad combo, opting for the house salad with grilled chicken. The greens were super fresh, the chicken was perfectly grilled, and the tomato soup rocked my world. The restaurant is small, clean, and comfortable, and service was excellent. I've added Izzy's to my "favorites" list. read more

Izzy's Comfort Kitchen has quickly become one of our favorite spots! It's my husband's absolute favorite, and he's always excited to go back. The food is delicious, comforting, and feels like a true homemade meal. The restaurant itself is a little on the smaller side, but it adds to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly, the food is consistently great, and it's the kind of local spot that makes you want to keep coming back. We're so glad to have a place like Izzy's nearby! read more

I found this place when searching for food in the Couer D'Alene area while I was visiting during my time working in Spokane. I came in and was seated. I decided to sit at the bar. Ambiance looked like an American brunch place with many different seating options. I came on a a weekend and it was a little busy, but luckily I had gotten there close to their opening time, so it did not get out of hand. They have a pretty big menu with lots of brunch options, american style food, burgers, etc. I ordered a classic burger which came with angus beef, garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato, red onion, choice-of-cheese on a toasted brioche bun with fries The burger was massive and took some patience and some skills to bite without destroying it or getting it all over my clothes. Burger was cooked well and was tasty. The fries were also pretty decent. I will have to say, I definitely recommend the burger. I saw people order other food items as well, and the items they ordered looked/smelled good. I think this is a good place to visit, and I recommend it! read more

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.

I stopped by **Izzy's Comfort Kitchen** recently after seeing quite a bit of buzz about it online. While there is a lot to like about this spot, my experience felt a bit like a "social media vs. reality" situation. **The Atmosphere & Service** The ambiance is inviting and cozy, though the restaurant itself is on the **smaller side**, so it can feel a bit tight during peak hours. That said, the **service was fantastic**. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were properly taken care of throughout the meal. **The Food** I ordered the **Peach Bourbon BBQ Burger**. I loved the concept--the sweetness of the peach really complemented the savory beef beautifully. However, the execution fell a little short. There were only **two slices of peach** on the entire burger, and it was significantly **lacking sauce**. Between the minimal toppings and the lack of BBQ sauce, the burger ended up being quite dry. The sides didn't quite help the moisture issue, either. The **fries were very thin and overcooked**, giving them a crunchy, dry texture that made the overall meal feel a bit parched. Izzy's is a solid spot with great people, but I can't help but feel it might be a bit **overhyped by social media**. The flavors are definitely there, but for the price and the reputation, I was hoping for a bit more generosity with the toppings and better execution on the sides. Worth a try if you're in CDA, but maybe ask for extra sauce on the side! read more

If gluten doesn't bother you, you still need to give them a try. I always found Gf bland, but not at Izzy's! I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Friendly service with good food. The fries are very nice, recommend asking for them with little/no salt. Nice salads as well.

Small dinning room, you will probably have to wait... but it's worth it! Like the whole menu is gluten free and tastes so good.get the fries they are 10/10 perfectly seasoned and fried so they are all crispy. The staff is also working very hard, it was amazing to watch as they get to so many people, tip them well! read more

Let's start with the pros, because Izzys has a a lot: 1. Comfortable and welcoming. Fun decor and colors on the walls. 2. The food quality was fantastic. I ordered the Banana Bread French Toast, and it was AMAZING. My husband's peach bourbon burger was also well-made. 3. The price was fair. Not cheap, but not expensive either. 4. Kind, friendly staff. 5. I saw a review saying it was loud. It was loud, but I think being loud is a good sign at a restaurant. No one was being obnoxious or rude. Everyone was talking and having a good time. 6. Holy cow, the gluten-free options! I'm not used to having that many options! I was actually a little overwhelmed and had a difficult time choosing. Some things are made gluten-free, and some can be changed to become gluten-free. The waiter even checked with my husband to see if he wanted the gf option for his meal. And now for the cons... 1. Our food took about an hour to get to us. It's okay if a restaurant is slow because of staffing issues or business. The problem is that no one communicated the delay to us. It's not that hard to say, "We're short-staffed in the kitchen, so your meal is going to take a while coming out." I would've preferred the honesty to just cluelessly waiting. 2. The seating is a little tight for everyone. I sat at the bar, and it was pretty tight, but I noticed that the tables and booths had the same problem. 3. My husband's fries were so overcooked that they were almost burnt. Overall, it's a cute place with great staff and fantastic food. They have a couple of bugs to work out, but I think they're worth the time and money. :) read more

We ate here for the 2nd time when we were in town recently. I have Celiac and felt very safe eating here (everything on the menu is either already GF or can be modified to be GF). We ordered the seasonal berry biscuit with whipped cream to start off and it was amazing....BUT, it came with a hair embedded into the biscuit (actually baked in). We asked to have it remade and barely got an apology for the hair. The next biscuit came out after our meals, so we didn't can get to enjoy it fresh because we ended up taking it to go. I normally don't ask for a restaurant to comp food, but I was surprised that our waitress didn't mention anything about compensating us for the hair in our food. When I brought it up, she looked annoyed and said she'd have to talk to her manager. We did get the dish comped, but she was clearly not happy about it and again, almost no apology for the issue (which is pretty disgusting). I had the chicken strips and fries and the strips were amazing! White meat chicken that were breaded perfectly. The fries were also yummy, but way over seasoned and over salted. We went around lunchtime in July and there was no AC in the place. They had a fan in the corner that when I walked by it, it was barely even blowing air. I was pretty uncomfortable and hot the entire time we were there. We would have sat outside, but they were packed and didn't have any outside tables. Overall, we like this place. This time, the service was mediocre at best and the hair in the food put a bad taste in our mouths, but the rest of the meal was good. Definitely make reservations early. I went online the night before for the next day dinner reservations and they had nothing. We were able to get a lunch reservation, though. read more

We typically don't go out of Spokane for food unless it's to Wolf Lodge Steakhouse. My boyfriend was working in Couer d'Alene, and noticed Izzy's. I have been wanting to try Izzy's for a long time. It's a nice small corner restaurant with a sidewalk patio with umbrellas. There was a half hour wait for patio seating which we didn't mind. We were there on Ironman weekend. The downtown was packed. I ordered the lavender mimosa, which was rimmed with sugar, nice and refreshing . The lavender wasn't overpowering. The bloody Mary's were delicious and zangy. We enjoyed the toppings of pepper, some tomato looking vegetable, olive, green bean and bacon. The spices were perfectly blended. I ordered the Benedict with potato's and my my partner ordered the chicken fried steak. The egg was perfectly poached, nice and runny. I enjoyed the thick slices of Canadian ham, there was plenty of it, on top of a fresh made biscuit. The chicken fried steak was a prefect portion. It came with sunny side eggs , a biscuit and potatoes. I love their fresh made biscuits. They were soft and flaky. I finished my partners biscuit. The star of the meal are the potato's and the garlic aioli. The potato's were seasoned perfectly and almost seems like their twice fried because they were crunchy yet still had potato inside. I dream of the potato's and garlic aioli. Would definitely try again, and try their dinner menu as well! read more
