    Close up of the chicken
    Dang Y.

    This review is for the bistro. Always so full of people and long lines. We go anyway. We always get the meatballs or fish. This time though on their menu is a chicken chile verde. I got it and actually this is the second time I did. We visited another time and got it that time but they run out of rice. This time ordered again and all components are there. The yummy and perfectly cooked chicken, rice, black beans, and yummy fried plantains. This is my favorite special on the menu and for sure will get every time we visit the bistro. It's a special so I'm sure will not be there all the time. Always an adventure at Ikea. Thanks.

    I haven't had Ikea Swedish Meatball in a decade!

    As IKEA Family members, you get 50% off adult entrées at your local IKEA store's Swedish Restaurant every Tuesday until 10/31/24. I think each month they change the day of the week for 50% off entrées. During the summer months, it was on Fridays. You can check their websites for monthly specials. It's not gourmet food but it's a great option if you're on a tight budget and want a fun night out with friends and family. It's a counter service restaurant and you don't need to leave a tip. The Swedish meatball is a must try. If you don't want the mashed potatoes and peas, you can get meatballs by itself. My son likes the chicken stripes and fries. The pulled pork is not bad too. The best part of eating at the Cafe is you can walk off some of the calories by browsing at the Warehouse after.

    This review is for the downstairs Bistro, not the upstairs Restaurant. I usually stop in for the $1.75 frozen yogurt either in a cup or cone, vanilla, strawberry, or swirl. They also have hot dogs, pretzels, cinnamon rolls, and pizza! From the grocery section, I've also picked up frozen Swedish Pancakes packages to enjoy at home. If you like their Swedish Meatballs, Salmon, etc. you can totally pick those up too, even the lingonberry jam! Also the dessert Daim cake! Kiosks for self-service ordering, not much of a wait when I go. Sometimes they are closed midday and kiosks are off or menu items grayed out. Some seating near the exit by the registers.

    Vegetarian - 8 plant based Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, cream sauce, and lingonberry jam. $7.99

    *** Vegetarian Review *** I want to give it 3.8 stars, but I still don't want to round up to 4 stars. The plant based Swedish meatballs are pea protein and they fry them to a nice texture. It's not greasy, but I would actually prefer a slightly longer fry to get them crunchy. The dinner plate comes with 8 pieces ($7.99) or 12 pieces ($9.49). Mashed potatoes and a cream sauce which i was also told is vegetarian. Plus a large spoonful of peas and lingonberry jam. Nice meal and I would come back for it. Came on a Monday and gave them my phone number for rewards. The final bill for 2-8 piece meals was so cheap. $15.98 ($9.98) discount After tax, the final was $6.50. The receipt says "MON" and found out that IKEA has Meatless Mondays! Here are all the daily discounts for IKEA rewards members! Monday: Go meatless with 8-piece veggie & plant ball plates for $3 Tuesday: Get any hot entrée for $3.99 Wednesday: Get 2 FREE kid's entrées when you buy 1 adult entrée Thursday: Get $1 off Swedish meatballs Friday: All customers get 50% off all hot entrées Props to the variety of plant based items. Jag kommer tillbaka (I will return)

    50% off warm dishes on Fridays so we had dinner at IKEA. The line was quite long Friday evening. I ordered their plant balls plate and asked to substitute the peas with fries. They do charge you additional for the substitution which we were not aware of until paying. Everything was warm and delicious. I love their regular cut fries and the variety of condiments available. So glad they have a great amount of vegetarian options available! Affordable prices and decent portions! Will be dining here again next time I'm shopping for furniture!

    Swedish Meatballs
    Chris M.

    3 stars for the value. This is like a high school cafeteria style fast food option. The prices are great. Food is mass produced. Food is decent considering the price, but not a must eat. There are other options with great pricing also. 4 stars Swedish meatballs. Rating is mostly due to the price. It's like a good microwaved meal. Tastes good considering the price. 2 stars Mac & Cheese. Mac & Cheese was bad. The flavor was strangely bad. Peas were dried out. Yuck.

    chicken strips with the most important french fries
    Raymond L.

    I've done multiple reviews on various Ikea locations. Their french fries are bar none my go to place for them. They had pork shanks before the deadly plague of covid hit and have not had it in their menu since. That pork shank was pretty good and the only place you could get it at a restaurant or otherwise. Getting back to their fries, I try to time it when they make it fresh off the deep fryer and if the chicken tenders are coming out the same time, wow double whammy good. I don't have a clue as to why their fries are so much better but I will continue to visit them when I'm near a Ikea for theirs fries.

    A little if this and a little of that

    I came here to do a little shopping, I haven't been to the bistro since it opened so I figured I would try it out... I was starving so it was the obvious choice... I tried the meatballs, mashed potatoes and veggie medley, toast and the veggie patties. The customer service was good, the gal behind the food counter was super friendly! I was able to find a table by the window, although those seats were a bit messy, I missed the wipe down crew. The meatballs were just so so... covered in the cranberry sauce it was better.. the mashed potatoes were surprisingly decent.. but the veggie medley left a lot to be desired... it tasted like a bunch of veggies boiled in water and then put on the plate. Super bland couldn't really taste even the veggie taste... no seasoning at all wow super not good. The toast and veggie patties were the best part! The ride home after eating this however was not pleasant, I had the worst cramps... I don't think I'll be partaking in the bistro for another 10-15 years or if I did I would just get the veggie patty and toast lol!

    Great food for a great price...what's not to love? I can get hangry so I love being able to shop and then stop for a bite without having to leave the building. And my family appreciates it, too. LOL! Of course, my go-to is the Swedish Meatballs. The meatballs are doused in a yummy gravy served with mashed potatoes and peas and a side of their tart lingonberry jam and it is absolutely delicious! My son and I decided to split a plate and a dessert since the portion is a pretty good size. You can get a 16 meatball plate which is what we did and it was a lot of food. We had the strawberry shortcake for dessert and it was equally delicious-sponge cake layered with pureed strawberries and cream. We really should have gotten 2 slices, hahaha. Since I am IKEA family member, I got a free coffee and I have to say, it was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had at a restaurant! I was truly impressed. Next time I'll have to ask if they sell it in the Marketplace. And even if you aren't hungry, it's nice to have a place to stop and take a break. I love the cafeteria style set-up and really the only drawback I can think of is that sometimes it gets super crowded and it's hard to find a table. Other than that, IKEA Bistro is definitely a win for us!

    Environmentally friendly coffee cup!
    Brian K.

    I've eaten at the Ikea Bistro a number of times. It's cafeteria style food, but it's actually pretty good. The Swedish meatballs, fries, and veggies are all pretty tasty. My favorite is the almond cake which really impressed the first time I tried it. There's also a variety of dishes like salmon, salad, and vegetarian meatballs that should appeal to most palates. My only criticism is that few items on the menu aren't super fresh because they sit out a little too long sometimes. The tends to be a line around lunch and dinner but it moves fairly quickly. The dining room is clean, modern looking, and the prices are great. If you sign up for a family rewards card, they'll give you free coffee.

    Compared to IKEA of Emeryville or East Palo Alto, I prefer this one better in that it's located in a big, less congested, and open area with a big parking lot (like Costco style) with plenty of available spaces without the under ground parking structure (sometimes confusing to enter or exit for East Palo Alto & Emeryville). Been visiting this location many times already since it first open a few years ago, but forgot to write a review. Have also visited a couple of times during covid-19, and it's always great to see them taking all precautions for everyone's safety as priority. Had to write a review this time because first time ever to see such a long line at this location on this Labor Day weekend! Must have been at least 100 people standing outside in line winding like an anaconda. After standing for at least 45 minutes it was nice to see IKEA staffs passing out mini water bottles and 2 flavors of delicious Electrolyte Freezer Pops! Also, sure helps a lot to stand outside at 100+ degrees hot under tents set up for shade with a few large Power Breezers blowing cool air onto everyone. Sure miss their food court with them delicious Swedish Meatballs, variety of salad or dessert dishes, and beverages during this pandemic!

    Chicken  strips
    Don H.

    It's not fine cuisine but it's better than fast food and more affordable. The Swedish meatballs are a guilty pleasure that I have enjoyed for years and the chicken strips are delicious too.

Pablo on the phone was incredibly friendly -- like, too good at his job -- which may or may not have influenced my ordering decisions.

Fast, polite, and dangerously persuasive in the best way.

Even when my fiancé suggests ordering from a closer location, I always prefer to make the drive to this little gem because the taste and quality are just that good. Their service is solid, and I've always felt a sense of pride when they're giving us our pizza. They may forget to ask if we need anything else before we pay, so have that in mind if you're going to order extras, like they yummy ranch or jalapeño, as they do charge for those. Btw, the jalapeños used to be our fave but they may have changed brands, as they're not as delicious as they used to be. The location is in a small spot, so there's no dining in, and parking is tight, but worth it every time. While some reviews mention parking being a bit shady near the liquor store, I've never had any issues and always felt safe picking up my pizza. Of course, we always want to be aware of our surroundings no matter where we're at. I highly recommend Roman's for anyone looking for reliable and delicious pizza! Whatever your choice is, it doesn't disappoint. And don't forget their cheese bread and wings! Delicious.

    Number One Spot For Vegan Pizza!…read more SITREP On our way back to my place after a successful haul at the Saturday Midtown Farmer's Market and we come across this spot. We were hungry. We LOVE pizza! What's not to try? THE SETUP What is novel about their business plan is that they cater to BOTH vegans and carnivores! Often you get into a spot and you discover that the restaurant has no viable vegan options, OR it's a vegan spot that has no options outside that. PIZZASAURUS REX.... ...welcomes ALL! We wanted to try their Vegan Pepperoni Pizza - with both vegan mozzarella and vegan pepperoni (all plant-based) - generous portions of all the ingredients including the sweet basil! INCIDENTALS If you enjoy walking, getting there on foot is a better option considering all the parking is on the street. If you live in Midtown hood, you don't have to worry about it! THE LOWDOWN The pizza is delicious and reasonably priced considering the size of the rectangle-shaped pie!

Nice They have seating outside in front on the sidewalk. Also some outside dinning in the back of the place. You order first from the counter and then find a place to sit down and eat. They have a water station near the counter. Also the bathroom in to the right of the counter. The lady at the register was very friendly and explained the special by the slice pizza. Also you can order a pizza half one topping and the other another topping which was what we went with. We got the regular combo and the vegetarian the other half. I got a table at the top in the back. The table was a little dirty and had not been wiped down. Had to do it ourselves. The manager was across from us but didn't say anything along with another worker. Oh well. It wasn't very busy inside. They had a couple of people on the outside tables and two tables taken inside. Pretty empty otherwise. The lady told us that it would be 22 minutes for our pizza to be ready. I think we got it in 20. These are not the traditional round type. They are square and a good size to. It was 44 bucks for this pizza since we had water to drink. They crust was the best part. Nice an crispy. The vegetarian was not bad. I Liked it . The Combo was just adding salami and pepperoni. It was alright. I liked the veggi better. A lot of my wife's friends said they really liked this place. I thought it was nice but the drive from Elk Grove was a bit for this pizza. Which I thought was just ok. At least we tried it. Not bad. If I was in the area then yes.

    Fun West Sac hangout place!!…read more Parking: moderately difficult (metered, popular area) Ambience: 10/10: live music, outdoor under the open sky, super relaxing. Great crowd and overall flow. Entry: there's a line for ID check and wristbands, but it moves quickly. Restrooms: clean, 5 stalls per gender with plenty of sinks. No line when I went. Seating: mostly outdoor. Options include long canopy tables (fits: 6-8 people) or fireplace seating (extra $10). The building itself has really interesting architecture: loved it. There's also a small indoor area called "The Wing" with a nice bar and fun photo props. Service: ordering is done via QR code at your table and paid upfront. Food comes out fast (5-10 minutes). One hiccup: they dropped another table's pizzas at ours without confirming, and sauces cost extra, even basic ones like hot sauce have to be ordered online. Food & drinks: burgers, pizza, wings, fries. Drinks: beers and ciders. Highly recommend the lavender lemonade. Overall: great spot for casual hangouts with friends: definitely a fun place to bring guests.

We came it to just enjoy a quick beer and head out. The open space and kind of camp out vibe was amazing. If it's hot try to grab a space with shade otherwise you would get cooked. They have fire pits and games so you really can't go wrong. The food was ok, we got a pizza and the lemon hummus with veggies. The pizza was decent but the flour on the bottom took away the flavor. Mind you I love that they to woodfire pizza, I make woodfire pizza at home but ya just gatta watch the flour underneath to not lose the flavor or the crispness of the dough. The hummus was ok, I was hoping for a more lemony flavor and the veggies were cut really thin. As far as bang for you buck it was ok. They had women great beers and drinks on then menu so honestly the environment is set up for vibes. The food could use a little more love but honestly it's a great spot because in the end ... decent food, good friends, drinks and vibes ... you cant beat that.

We started with the shishito peppers, which were great and came with a really memorable miso aioli that was very addictive with a hint of lemon. We also got the "Fun Guy" pizza to share and made the mistake of removing the goat cheese, which I think hurt it. The crust was excellent and the toppings were fresh, but it felt like it was missing that salty, funky balance the goat cheese would've added. Still very good, but that one's on me. I'd definitely get it as intended next time. One of my favorite breweries, especially with so many having closed over the past few years. Cheers to them.
