As much as I love shopping at IKEA, their restaurant doesn't even come close to standards they hold for their home furnishings. For starters, the cafeteria was totally disorganized. There were no clean utensils, cups, or plates, so customers had to wait a long time to get those. After waiting for these items...we still had to ensure the long line to receive our food. I don't understand how a fully staffed kitchen can take so long to serve meatballs and chicken fingers. Once we got our food, it literally tasted so bad. I couldn't even finish it all.

IKEA Restaurant - The broccoli cheddar soup was pure water - Scandinavian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am a ikea fan, I love coming in a enjoying the prices, I love coming in and having me some Swedish meatballs and lingonberry juice. Today though was the day that things went south quick for me with Ikea. Usually when i come here i overlook the chaos that comes with great deals. today it was hard to overlook the professionalism and customer care or lack thereof from the staff that works at the Ikea kitchen. the lines were absurd and the people were eating frantically and that is sure great for business, however they were poorly prepared to receive this amount of patrons in their restaurant as their items started to run out and that was very frustrating as we spent a good amount of time lined up to only get ton our turn and have what we wanted run out. the worst part was to see the almost joy in the face of the staff when they would tell the customers that they ran out of something without even trying to make sure that there was not any more of the items in the back. the staff of Ikea today changed the way i looked at the Ikea experience as a whole. i am really disappointed at this experience. read more

Couple of things 1- Do not come here on the weekends unless you do not mind standing on long lines. It is practically a zoo here. 2- Be prepared to see trays and dirty plates stacked. It is apparent that people do not put trays, plates, silverware away. It was filthy last weekend when I was here. Did not bother with the lines. Just walked out to use the rest rooms which was gross and unkempt. Do not know if staff regularly clean the bathrooms. Been to many other IKEA's and this one is plane gross. 3- Is it me or the quality of the coffee has changed. The acidity is so high that my teeth hurts after sipping some hot coffee. 4- First time came here was because it was my first visit. Second time was to bring a family member who never been to IKEA in NYC. I will stick with the other IKEA's. Forget this one. read more

IKEA FOOD - DELICIOUS AND INEXPENSIVE!! I absolutely love their Swedish meatballs with special gravy and lingonberry jam! It is seriously a MUST-GET in my opinion. Note: They sell frozen Swedish meatballs downstairs! It is good if you want to serve some of this deliciousness at home for parties and whatnot. Personally, I'd save the hassle of cooking at home though and just eat it right at IKEA. Shhhhh don't tell the husband but this is one of the reasons why I want to come to here haha. Speaking of my husband, he totally loves their chicken tenders, which are super tender, and it comes with fries! We seldom grab a side of cornbread if we were starving that day! Their coffee is very good too. If you get a cup, you get unlimited FREE refills! The same goes for soda. The dining area is big and spacious. It does get crowded during peak hours, but we could always find a table for 2, now 3 with our daughter, without any problems. If you sit by the window, you could get a good view outside! What is better than shopping and EATING and then go right back to shopping conveniently at the same area?! IKEA Restaurant - saves us time and money to eat outside! TIP: Scan your IKEA FAMILY card to see if there are any current deals and discounts for dine-in customers! read more

For cafeteria style they have a smooth operation. Plenty of seating. I have tried several of the meals. I know which agree with my allergies and what to stay away from. Today the Chicken Tenders were very tasty. I loved the fries. The little desert was just enough to satisfy my need for a sweet treat. You can not beat the price. My meal was $8.69. The tables were clean and the space roomy. When I go to IKEA it is a full day. I enjoy knowing I can have a meal. There's plenty to see after eating. I get my exercise walking through the huge space. I recommend! read more

Ikea in the brooklyn location is the worst! I've been waiting for 1.5 hour to pick up a high chair after waiting online to pay. I was told there were 3 in stock. I also went to check the status after waiting 45 min and was told it was coming half stuff was picked already. After asking for an update was told they have the pieces .... Well they didn't. Now i had to go to customer service to get refund they couldn't even order the parts for me or try to see what they could. Was told I had to either go back to store when they get the parts or order parts online and have to pay for shipping. Could have told me earlier and I would of gotten refund and left I understand if I didn't ask no one would have told me until the store was closed. Meanwhile my baby was with me getting restless read more

Plenty of seating, sort of confusing at first getting on a variety of lines and selecting what you want cafeteria style. Going to the line with less people had no dessert options available to take. Grabbed the more popular Swedish meatball with mashed potatoes gravy and green beans. Washed it all down with sparking pear drink. The meatballs were meh, weird after taste an hour later. Were warm. Gravy was good on both the meatballs and mashed potatoes. Although the green beans had a nice crunch, they were cold. I never add salt to food but the green beans needed it. I don't get what they hype is about with the meatballs. I nearby restaurant was slammed and I couldn't shop on an empty stomach so this was needed. For, 7.88 it is outrageous. $5 max. A halal cart offers more and better quality food in my opinion. read more

Listen, if you're at IKEA -- you're probably not trying to get a first class meal or first calls furniture. It's IKEA, bruh. I think a lot of these reviews think this is a legitimate restaurant. It's a glorified school cafe and I'm fine with that. It's cheap, and fun. Everyone enjoys meatballs. Definitely skip out on the broccoli but everything else is pleasant. Have a meal before shopping and it makes the crowds tolerable. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Scandinavian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food is real good, service is below par and crowds are a given (depending on what day/time you arrive). Just some of things you should expect whenever you dine at this IKEA. I've probably eaten at this IKEA 15+ times at all different times on weekdays and weekends and there are 2 things you're guaranteed every time, damn good cheap food and a nice view of Manhattan! The prices are always reasonable here for a meal and it's a great place to fill up before going on a shopping spree. The restaurant (and store) tend to be understandably much busier on weekend afternoons, so be prepared to wait on a line for food. The crowds are much much smaller when it comes to weekdays and evenings. The most popular order for most people are the Swedish Meatballs and I can't argue that decision. Make sure to always ask for extra gravy! and it's $1 more for 5 extra meatballs! Can't go wrong with that. However, if you're looking for something different, the Ribs and Chicken Tenders with fries are really good here too. The Chicken Tenders are especially filling because they come in such huge pieces! Don't forget to get some BBQ and Honey Mustard sauce by the condiment area. As for the fries, I can only compare them to Wendy's, so if you like Wendy's fries, you'll love them here. The service? That's a 180 from the food. The servers and cashiers pretty much do their job, however, none do it with a smile or greet you. When you order, don't expect a friendly hello or even a word from them because it rarely happens. If you get a hello, consider yourself lucky and play the lotto asap! They plop the food on your plate and throw the plate onto the counter for you and it's pretty much Next up. No "enjoy" or "have a good day" or any other type of friendly banter. Most of the cashiers are no different. I would say 95% of my experiences eating here have been the same, in terms of interaction or non-interaction with the employees. Hospitality is definitely a big issue with the employees working the restaurant area and, quite honestly, it's a major turnoff every time. I've been to other IKEAs and the service is usually friendlier. I've really only encountered this issue here with the hospitality. I would give the restaurant 4-5 stars, but the service absolutely counts here and brings them down a notch. The day I sense improvement, will be the day they really deserve that 4-5 star rating. read more

Was so excited to eat Swedish meatballs with my good pal. After waiting an excessive amount of time on line, they only had "chicken balls". Upon this discovery, my current mental existence began to hang on a thread. The thread was abrasively cut however when the ball fondler gave me 12 of these chicken bites instead of the 8 that I ordered. Last time I checked ( which was right before I yelped this yelp) 12 and 8 are drastically different numbers. And now I have to shop for furniture? My stomach is too full to make rational decisions that will affect my home for the foreseeable future. read more

I was extremely disappointed with the service provided by Ikea Brooklyn and the delivery provided by Lugg, the associate company that provides delivery services. I furnished my apartment with furniture from the store and ordered the delivery, but the floor mirror arrived broken at my place. I called Ikea's customer support department and the attendant told me I'd have to go back to the store in Brooklyn and talk to the customer service in the store (and I live far away from Brooklyn). Even so I went and Ikea attendant, extremely rude, told me that the store had nothing to do and I should contact directly Lugg. As a result, it's been two weeks since I've been sending e-mails and calling both Ikea and Lugg and getting no positioning. I have already sent pictures of the damaged product and followed all the procedure that was oriented. Ikea's low price does not compensate when the service provided has such a poor quality, and in addition the price of Lugg's delivery is extremely high (about 40 dollars). read more

I love IKEA... just like Target, they can somehow turn my breezy trip of buying throw pillows into a Giant $300+ splurge on... stuff... (seriously I have no idea what I bought!) LOL My family loves going there for breakfast & then roam around. Is the breakfast great? Nope... but it's dirt cheap! Cuz even grumpy old men would come grab breakfast and then go to work around the area. 3 Big Swedish Breakfasts ($2), 1 small breakfast ($1), 1 order of waffle, milk, 2 teas, 1 coffee - total spent $10.68!!! (coffee & tea, free for IKEA Family member!) Love shopping there... are their designs exceptional? No but, it's way better than lots of other places, in terms of trendy design & concept. I used to think IKEA stocks apt for the young... however, I think it's just more budget friendly than pottery barn & West Elm. I actually love mixing those 3 brands! Great for High & Low mix! Friendly staff, service and love their 60 cent soft serve cone!! ;) PS: if you hate crowds and long lines.. go when it first opens OR go at night... if you must go during peak hours (11 - 4pm) - then bring a big bag of patience with ya! read more

The staff here seriously hates their lives, and it's reflected in your entire dining experience at Ikea. I don't come here expecting a 5-star meal (just fuel for the 6 miles I'll have to hike later), but basically every experience I've had here has been soured straight off with the apathy and attitude that the cafeteria employees exude. No smiles, no thank you's, no customer service. Just glares and servers yelling at you if you don't move fast enough. Food slopped on plates, disorganized self-service areas, and a whole lot of rudeness. Food is typical Ikea, maybe a little sadder and less carefully prepared than at other locations. I'm also upset that they no longer offer their salad bar, just tiny, prepackaged, wilted iceberg lettuce. Otherwise, it's just fine for a quick bite to eat before getting lost in the labyrinth that is Ikea. read more

It's IKEA food, what do you expect. If you're an IKEA Family Member, you get free coffee/tea! If you frequent IKEA often and drink either, I'd just join, as it's free to join. The swedish meatballs are good. Yeah, it's mushy mystery meat. Yeah your lingonberries get mixed up with the gravy. But overall, it's filling and addicting with every bite. Their workers are miserable, and look like they don't even want to be there. I'm not even talking about customer service, because I don't come to IKEA expecting service, but having worked in service several years, it's really apparent that the better your company is at taking care of their employees, the more it'll reflect in the workers' attitudes. And IKEA shows nothing but negativity, so that speaks volumes of its corporate beliefs. read more

I really love Ikea and their food... but the service here was unacceptable. As a Virginia transplant who will go to Ikea at any free moment for just the food, I will likely come back but am still pretty irked. We got to the restaurant at 7:50pm on a Saturday and they were beginning to wipe down the tables for this night which is fine as long as food is for the most part still available. They only had meatballs and salmon which was fine because that's all we wanted and the line took about fifteen minutes to get through which was lengthy but still okay because it's the only Ikea in Brooklyn. However by the time we went to get drinks after buying a drink, the lady who was at the drink counter said we couldn't get drinks because she was closing them for the night- note that it's 8:05 by this point. At the same counter there were supposed to be forks but we saw none and kindly asked one of the workers. She said "I put away the forks, you can eat with your hands". I'm sorry but we're paying customers who had come a while before the place closed and were expecting a reasonable amount of availability in terms of there being a fork or the soda machine being open. What peeved us the most is her telling us to eat with our hands - it felt dehumanizing (I understand for cultures that traditionally eat with their hands but this meal was far from that type of tradition). If it helps identify the woman, she had a streak of purple in her hair. If not for her this meal would have been reasonably enjoyed. read more

How is it possible that a furniture store makes food better than actual restaurants? Their Swedish meatballs are the best along with the baby back ribs. I simply cannot resist them every time I go to Ikea. They came up with veggie meatballs and chicken meatballs. In my experience the chicken taste almost identical to the regular one and the veggie one tastes like a falafel to me only without the crunch. They often have the promo where you eat free if you buy $100 or over in furniture stuff. I usually take advantage of this and eat as much as I like with my bf. Even without this deal I still swing by once a while just for their food. Their kitchen staff made the 5 star review into a 4. They are often rude and their expression shows they hate their job. It's a constant long line of serving so eh. I just came for their food their service can't mess with the quality of their food...even though it's frozen stuff.. Dessert menu options are wide...even wider than the actual entree menu. I usually get a cream cake..the pink round thing...because it's the lightest in sweetness of all the desserts they offer. I find the rest to be too sweet with not a lot of flavor. The Apple cake disappointed me the most. read more

No Ikea trip is complete without Swedish meatballs (or in this case, chicken meatballs). The meatballs are still pretty tasty, but how do you make gravy flavorless? Boyfriend's cured salmon plate was average. His chicken tenders were waterpark-quality, with the smooshed potato interior of the fries to match. Not a bad deal at about $6 a plate. If you're here, you're probably not looking for healthy food or a gourmet experience, so it'll do as fuel. read more

If a guy were to take me on a date to IKEA, i would immediately think a few things: 1. He likes to walk around and get lost (score) 2. He wants to see what I look like in every room of our future house (creepy but meh ill let it slide, score) 3. He knows that good food doesn't have to be expensive food (ding ding we have a winner) I discovered I liked Swedish meatballs here, sorry Sizzler yours were good years ago, but not quite like these. Everyday there is a diff special, I recommend Thursday - Roasted Chicken and mashed potatoes for under 2 bucks (seriously my energy drinks cost more than this meal). Mondays you could even get a free breakfast no strings attached, no bring a kid here, no hand in an empty carton of milk, simply free! Everything is delicious. You get to fill your own sodas, call me picky but I like controlling my drink to ice ratio. The staff is pretty friendly. The place is clean and there are seats upon seats; cannot imagine it full. And the absolute best part? The dramatic, gorgeous, incredibly romantic views of the waterfront... And men if you take your date here and she is miserable, who needs her anyway? ;) read more

IKEA Restaurant - Now thats a view, love me some cranes :) - Scandinavian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Hate it. Love it. It's a love hate thing. It's never quick. It's too far. I always spend too much time and money. I can never buy everything I want/need. I'm either too exhausted at the end to keep shopping or I can't find something. So I'm frustrated at the end. Why didn't you have the 99 cent bars of dark chocolate and hazelnut?! I gotta come back? :-( No more Daim cake? :-( What's new though are the vegetarian Swedish meatballs. Very good! I prefer it over the meat version. Too bad they don't give you cranberry sauce though. I'm definitely checking Craigslist though for "barely used like brand new" stuff so I don't have to schlep back. Oh well. I still love you. And hate you. IKEA!! read more

IKEA is well-known for their furniture and household items, but they're also known for their "Swedish Meatballs". I've never had them, before so one day while my boyfriend & I needed to pick up a chair at IKEA we decided to have lunch at IKEA since I never been there. I was surprised at how inexpensive our food was. I got the Swedish Meatball lunch set which comes with a plate of meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberries, a side salad, and a soda. This complete set only cost $3.99. My boyfriend ordered the chicken tenders with fries and an additional Swedish Meatball lunch set for himself. I was a little hesitant about trying the meatballs after the whole "horse meat" scare, but I just went with it and stuffed a meatball in my mouth and it was a-a-a-mazing especially when it's drenched in the gravy sauce. It really made me salivate. The meatballs were adorable and so moist and tender. The gravy went perfectly with the meatballs. The lingonberries were delectable. It kind of reminded me of cranberry sauce. The mashed potatoes tasted good as well. The fries and chicken tender were deep fried to perfection. Fries were crispy and hot. Chicken tender was seasoned perfectly and the meat was very tender. The food here is definitely top-notch. It's inexpensive, it's tasty, and it's fun! I would definitely come here just for the food when I'm craving for tasty, moist meatballs again. read more

I love IKEA restaurant because they are CHEAP. I believe every restaurant in Manhattan should be this cheap if you ask me. But seriously speaking, their meatballs and Lox are great. Everything else is just alright. They have 79 cents unlimited coffee, which is great! If you are here, you need to get their lingoberry juice because it is sweet and unique. The Apple pie is not very good because it tastes frozen. I will try their chocolate cake next time! read more

One word: MEATBALLS! A trip to IKEA is not complete unless you go to the Restaurant and get some meatballs. They lowered the price by $1 so it's not only $3.99. I also do suggest getting a slice of Almond Cake for $1.49. It's really tasty too. I like sitting near the large windows to get a view of Red Hook. It's an amazing view! read more

Cheap and affordable food that fills you up. This pretty much sums up what Ikea food is. I've never really thought about eating at Ikea unless I was really hungry and just did not care for what I had to eat. The best way to describe that Ikea food is that it is very similar to school cafeteria breakfast and lunches. Quick, affordable and not much choices. For lunch, there's the usual suspect containing Swedish meatballs and mixed veggies. They also have the option for salmon and veggies as well. I don't really have much to say about the food beside that it's flavored and nothing too special. On Mondays, you can get an option for $1 and $2 breakfasts. These breakfast items are here to fill you up as they are lacking in flavour and texture. For $2 you can get the American Swedish plate which consists of potatoes, sausage or bacon, eggs and Swedish pancake. Overall the food isn't too bad for what it's worth. Eat it more than once a month and you'll get sick of it rather quickly. What I do like is that their coffee isn't too bad. It's free for Ikea family members otherwise it's $1 with unlimited refills. Overall if you're in a hurry for quick bite, Ikea food court is to go because there isn't much options around. If you really care about the quality and taste of your food, I suggest you head further westwards into red hook area as there are decent options around. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Salmon filet, apple pie cake, bottled water - Scandinavian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We love eating here whenever we furniture shop or crave their Swedish meatballs! Unfortunately, the first time we came (it was at night time), they said they ran out of Swedish meatballs so we had to resort to salmon and green beans (which was not bad). The drinks here are diverse and I enjoy trying their Swedish pear and other flavored drinks. The service is on and off at times. Sometimes we are treated so kindly but other times we may feel rushed (especially if there is a long time). The cleanliness needs to be better but that all depends on the teamwork of the customers (the food prices are low because it is a cafeteria-style setting, where we clean after ourselves rather than having wait staff). They also have an assortment of cakes, chocolates and sides. I also like how you can order extra meatballs (if they are available)! read more

The used trays do not get taken care of quick enough and it took a good amount of time to look for a clean table.

IKEA Restaurant - IKEA fries for dinner since they were out of almost everything else. - Scandinavian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Managed to get to the restaurant a few minutes before closing. They were out of a few food options but not what I was craving. Ordered the Swedish meatball meal ($5). A big handful of miniature meatballs with a side of cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy. The meatballs are seasoned well but not as hearty as you expect ground beef to be. The cranberry sauce is especially delicious with that nice tart finish. The mash is your standard fare. Also got a can of Pear cider ($3), nonalcoholic yet really refreshing. By no means is this food amazing. The price makes it worthwhile, especially since you'll be spending a lot of time running through the IKEA gauntlet. read more

There are not a ton of places to get Swedish food in New York City, with the cheapest option probably being the terrific Midsummer Celebration. The restaurants tend to be a bit expensive and highbrow. And then there is the restaurant in every IKEA, sort of a go-to place for everyone's love of Swedish meatballs. A trip to the furniture store is hardly complete without first visiting the restaurant. The restaurant is cafeteria style, if you haven't heard already. In Brooklyn, it's not that pleasant of an experience, to be honest. The employees are just passing through their day, no emotion, heaping things on your plate with no regard. Whatever. Don't be ashamed to pick the Swedish meatballs ($4.99 for 15, $5.99 for 20) because they are still the best thing on the menu. It comes served with a side of mashed potatoes, a bit of lingonberry sauce for dipping, and is covered in an excellent cream sauce. The quality control of the whole operation might be slacking though, as some balls are cold inside and other lukewarm. It's surprising that IKEA does not have a tighter leash on its operation. While it is certainly not great coffee by any standards, it should be noted that at 99 cents (which includes free refills), this could be a very economical coffee shop for freelancers. Stop downstairs at the food store, bring up some candy, and nurse your coffee all day while working. A cheapskate's dream! read more

Welp.. I've always heard good things about the IKEA restaurant. They certainly have attractive daily sales/promotional deals to reel me in. Its hard to turn down a meal or snacks this cheap. Unfortunately the food here isn't much more than school cafeteria food, maybe the meatballs are their specialty? As a vegetarian, my options were limited and I was disappointed. Fries are decent, but nothing special. Since the prices at Mister Softee and other trucks seem to be constantly on the rise, I am a fan of the $1 soft serve at the food stand downstairs. read more
