Izzy's Steaks & Chops

We love this place.. the food is simple steak and chops, along with an occasional burger. Side dishes are excellent, and the service is good too. Prices are reasonable.

It's inauspicious location just off Holly St. and on the other side of Highway 101 from downtown San Carlos can lead you to forget about Izzy's as one of the better dining options in San Carlos. Totally solid steakhouse with a pretty cool atmosphere once inside the restaurant (dark wood, separate bar room, booths etc..). Good service too. Go on the earlier side and there will be plenty of families with Kids. I believe they even include ice cream with kid's entrees. - Other added benefit is that after dining there you can walk across the parking lot to the Burger King where there is an old helicopter that the kids can sit in and pretend to fly.

I love the same restaurant in the city. Great steak. Not a place vegetarians want to visit though. We love to grab a drink at the bar and then dive into the big portion steak dishes.

Izzys is a recent San Francisco favorite having a similar place in the Marina District for about 20 years. If you are looking for a nice piece of meat, this is the place for you near the San Carlos Airport. Their scalloped potatoes and creamed spinach are to die for and I also love the wedge salad. If you don't have a reservation you can always eat in the very comfortable bar where their are a number of tv screens generally with some game on. A wonderful place to eat but the prices are not cheap.
