  1. Worst parking set up ever. I know i am not the only one who agrees on this–ive seen various people try to figure out where their car is. Its also a bit of a maze in here too.

  2. Good value breakfast plate priced at 1 buck – with breakfast sausage, potato and scrambled egg, and coffee can be added for an extra 75 cents.

    IKEA restaurant is always my first priory when looking for small accessories inside the furniture store.

  3. This IKEA was a long time coming.   For years the space was empty.  Then there were rumors.  Then there was some activity.  And then it seemed overnight, the building was up.   And open.  

    It's probably not true, but this location felt slightly smaller than others.  Could be its just more compactly organized.  Not sure.  But the parking is tough, as is often the case at IKEA.    

    Coming here is an adventure.  Especially if you take your time in the kitchen supplies and household goods area.   They just have cool stuff.  Most of which you probably don't need.  But it looks good there.  

    So come with a list.   Stick to the list.  And you won't find yourself with lots of other things when you get home.  

    Reasonable prices.

  4. Came here with the family on Monday and realized that breakfast was free on Mondays…we had their breakfast which was ok.  The free breakfast comes with scrambled eggs, 2 link sausages and fried potatoes.  Their coffee is complimentary if you join ikea free membership.  Overall, it's ok because it's free.  If I had to pay, that's a different story.  

    The furniture is cheap but you get what you pay.  Idk why people expect high quality when they are paying not high quality prices.  Be real people!  IKEA does carry a variety of furniture pieces for your home.  This location specifically is much better than others I've been to.  They are more organized and clean.

  5. Ehh. Their food is a lot like their furniture: its cheap, and it looks good…from far away. Then up close you realize you get what you pay for, and in this case it's cafeteria quality food.

    Last time I went, I was STARVING. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a vegetarian wrap available. So I got that as well as a side salad from the salad bar.

    Despite the fact that the lettuce tasted like plastic, the side salad was actually the savior. Usually when I'm famished, ANYTHING will taste good to me, but I couldn't eat more than half the wrap because it had such a weird flavor. The wrap itself was hard, and there was practically frost bite on the vegetables they were so frozen. My feeble attempt to improve it by squirting on some salad dressing only made it more gross. Bleh.

    On the bright side, the atmosphere is nice. Big floor to ceiling windows and cool furniture. Also, did I mention it's cheap? And I gotta give them kudos for having a  vegetarian option. Too bad it sucked. Sorry, IKEA, but I'll stick to just buying your furniture from now on…thankfully, I can afford higher quality food.

  6. Not too bad for a cafeteria type restaurant in a store.. Prices are pretty cheap and you can feed a family of 4 for about 32 bucks…  Tip:  buy your drinks at the store before you come upstairs… They are cheaper and you can refill them up at the restaurant…

  7. This place is very kids-friendly.
    Which also means it's very loud during lunch and dinner times. If you want a relatively uncrowded, quiet meal, I recommend you to sit far away from the playground area.

    Food is very very mediocre. Sure there's a big hype about their Swedish meatballs and cheap prices. But let's be real… The quality of the food is as low as the prices. If you take out the ikea name, it is a very poor school lunch meal that has been pre-made who knows where.

    I recommend you to go to ikea to buy furniture. Not eat food.

  8. Every once in a while I have a craving for IKEA Swedish meatballs.

    This restaurant is a cafeteria located inside of the IKEA store. You grab a tray, get on line, and you are served cafeteria style (with an iced cream scoop for your mashed potatoes).

    I haven't really tried many of the food options here. I mostly get the Swedish meatballs entree, which comes with mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce. I think I've tried the fries a long time ago. I mean the food is decent.

    I'm not sure if the price is going up on this dish or its that you have catch it at the right time, when they are having one of their many specials. But, I've paid varying amounts for this dish, ranging from like $4.99 to $7.99. If you can catch it for like $4.99, this meal is a steal. Its much better for you than fast food, I'd imagine, and it tastes pretty good every once in a while.
