Very affordable and filling place to get lunch. A lot of options to choose from and they have a lot of seating. I really recommend the Swedish meatballs.

the best fries
Raymond L.

always great parking they've changed french frie vendors, the fries are no longer crunchy on the outside but mushy now

Seating and the ghost of an excellent cheap meal
Becca M.

The service is quick. The food is absurdly cheap. The options are fun. It's a beautiful break from the chaos of shopping for home decor. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR!! I genuinely love eating here and it makes me loathe home shopping a little less.

meatballs with gravy and mashed potatoes
Shannon W.

We absolutely love coming to the restaurant and Ikea! It's always a date that we look forward to. Shopping is an afterthought. We love the Swedish meatballs with the lingonberry sauce. We always get extra gravy and extra lingonberry sauce. We really missed it during the pandemic when they closed the restaurant. It is so delicious! My kids also love their mac & cheese. And various other items that we have tasted here in there. But the Swedish meatballs are always a hit

Swedish meatballs plate

Sometimes I crave Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes from IKEA because they're solid, filling, and consistent, but our recent experiences here were a little disappointing. The veggies were partly frozen, our meatballs were weirdly overcooked, and the portion size of the mashed potatoes seemed way smaller than usual. I am a pretty petite person and even I wasn't satisfied with what felt like just a few bites of food. If you aren't deterred by the quality, you could also double the meatball portion or add the salad bar, a roll, or dessert. If you sign up for a free IKEA Family account, you can get free coffee and tea whenever you come, which is the way to go. Their coffee is decent and a nice break from trekking around the store. I think they only offer ceramic mugs so you have to drink them in the food court area (can't take it to-go) but there is a ton of seating and you can get a little chill moment. Might skip the lunch next time we're here unless the kids are starving, but would always happily get a cup of joe for what always ends up being a long visit at IKEA.

Love the food. I really love the plant-based dish. We always order it the apple crumble cake and the chocolate layer cake.

a plate of meatballs, broccoli and gravy
Heather C.

I have been to Ikea a few times now and while I have always wanted to check out their food, I never made it over there until today. I was slightly confused. with the system. It was an IDENTICAL experience to a cruise ship; the windows, the trays, everything. Everyone always goes off about the Swedish meatballs and honestly, there wasn't much else I wanted on the menu. When I first walked into Ikea, they displayed a chicken wrap that looked pretty good...however, once I saw these items up close, I changed my mind pretty quickly. The salads and wraps were wilting in a premade container. They were in a bowl, plastic wrapped and then refrigerated. Well, the refrigeration was causing a lot of moisture within the bowl so I can imagine they were very soggy. I am not a fan of salmon and the chicken tenders didn't even look good so meatballs were my only realistic choice. Again, I also felt like in order for me to have the full ikea experience, I needed to have their famous Swedish dish. The meal was actually pretty dang good. I also enjoyed the price. It was less than $7 for the meal...which granted, you don't get a lot with it, I still thought it was a reasonable price, especially with inflation and all that going on. The flavor was pretty awesome. It reminded me a lot of thanksgiving. The broccoli was good and I loved the potatoes. The gravy they put on the meatballs was an awesome added touch. The meatballs had great flavor and texture...and I am not a big fan of meatballs. You will never see meatballs on my spaghetti for example. I am not sure if it was my own food or someone near me, but there started to be a horrendous dog food smell that ruined my appetite. I do take a while to eat, so maybe it ferments to puppy chow after 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Not sure but it was super odd as everything was good and then it just wasn't. Overall though, the taste was still really awesome and it was a good ikea experience. I am glad I was finally able to get the full Swedish experience while visiting here!

Swedish American Breakfast-just as bad as you'd think it would be, lol
Lacey T.

The fact that Ikea has a restaurant is super cool, and perhaps even a necessity considering it takes a good two hours to walk through the showrooms, so you're likely going to feel a bit peckish by the time you make your way to that area of the store. They have various entrée options: a few for breakfast, several for lunch and dinner, a small salad bar, plus some desserts and packaged treats at checkout. Positives: the seating area is quite nice: Large, and there are even sections with couches and cushy armchairs. The drink selection is pretty great as it comprises various sodas (including lignonberry), a coffee machine with several options (my husband had an Americano and said it was fairly good), and hot chocolate. If you're an Ikea Family Member you can get a cup of coffee for free. The price of meals is very inexpensive. Unfortunately that's about all I can say that's good. To start with, I should admit I've never been a fan of Ikea's famous Swedish meatballs, and I understand they have a dedicated following by many. Though I have found some decent snacks at the grocery area after checkout, their prepared food reminds me much of their furniture, which is to say, cheap, and I guess it gets the job done (i.e. satiating hunger), but it's not tasty. At all. I've had lunch here before, and while I don't remember what I ordered I do remember it not being good. Most recently I shared their Swedish American breakfast with my husband, and it was honestly the worst meal I've had in years. I'm not exaggerating. He is less picky than I am, and was completely in agreement. The eggs were definitely those fake powdered type, the pancakes were squishy and slimy, the sausage was like a meat flavored sponge....the potatoes were acceptable in that they didn't make me want to throw up, but that was about their only redeeming quality. I wasn't expecting a super delightful meal, but the extent of it's terrible-ness was still surprising. Honestly, it made me sad for the sake of food in the US. If people are cleaning their plates after ordering that horrible breakfast (and they were!), what else are they eating? What kind of life are you living if you think that's acceptable? If you must get something just get a drink, and maybe one of their desserts, but anything that's actually a regular meal I would avoid entirely.

Ray and I got the Stuffed Chicken
Christine M.

I remember coming here many times when I was younger and enjoying their food, especially their mashed potatoes. I usually got the kids meal and it usually filled me up. I always enjoyed their kids meals. I finally came back a few days ago and something about their food quality had gone down... Maybe it's because I've gotten older, but their mashed potatoes didn't taste as good and their serving sizes were a lot smaller, and this time I got a regular meal rather than a kids meal. Ray and I bought the stuffed chicken and we were expecting it to be a lot bigger, but it was quite tiny. The size of the meal versus the price we paid was not worth it (about $7.50). The "interior" of the IKEA Restaurant is clean, very spacious. However, I remember the IKEA Restaurant being a lot busier when I was younger. There were only a couple people in this large eating area when we went. Overall, I think the quality of this place has gone down.

apple cake.
Yiching P.

OK, so no one probably goes to IKEA just to eat their food (however I have a couple friends in Europe who'd do that!) But when you're shopping at IKEA, and you want to take a little break, the IKEA restaurant is a fun place to stop and munch on something before you search for another piece of simple furniture again. So what should you get while you stumble upon IKEA restaurant? Two words: APPLE CAKE! (see photo!) I know their apple cake is not fresh homemade goodness, but the reality is that it's consistent and tasty, and better than many of the "fresh" cakes out there in stores and restaurants!

Driving bangater and saw ikea advertise the 2$ and so I had to try it! came in and the people were friendly and the options were amazing! I came here with just the breakfast deal in mind so I stuck with it with 1$ 4 meatballs. The breakfast deal comes with eggs, potatoes, sausage link, and a crepe like thing. For 2$ this is probably the best breakfast deal anywhere period. The crepe has a really gelatinous texture which I personally was not a fan of but everything else was good. The meatballs are pretty amazing. The drink options are fun and different with its lingonberry and pear soda and it's not overwhelmingly sweet like regular soda. Good place to come feed your kids and family without breaking the bank.

Mike N.

It's a shopping center cafeteria, so you can't expect it to be amazing. But the Swedish meatballs and potatoes are a guilty pleasure, and the coffee is free. Honestly 90% of the time I come here is just when I have time to burn. Free wifi and free coffee make it a decent place to pass the time and get some work done. And occasionally if you spend enough money in the store, you get your meal for free.

Absolutely loved this place! The vibes are fun, modern, and energetic without feeling…read morecramped--super comfortable and spacious, making it the perfect spot for a brunch date with friends. The food? Chef's kiss. The Breakfast Sandwich was hands-down the star of the table, with perfectly crispy hashbrowns and the most delightful, velvety hollandaise sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The mimosa flights were a blast (variety + flavor = win), and the interactive donut bar added such a playful, indulgent touch to the experience. A live DJ kept the energy up and made the whole brunch feel like a mini celebration rather than just a meal. If you're looking for a lively brunch spot with amazing food, great drinks, and an upbeat atmosphere, this place absolutely delivers. Can't wait to go back!

It took a long time for the server to come take our drink order, another long wait to get her to take our food order, and a really long wait for the food to be served. She didn't come back to check on us or refill our drinks. I flagged her down to get a drink refill and we sat around a long time waiting for her to give us our check and pay. The savory dishes here are really sweet, we got the birria hash and biscuits and gravy. We didn't like the dishes bc of the sweetness. I'm glad I didn't eat anymore bc we currently both have food poisoning. It was our first meal of the day and I know it was from here. Update: We went here yesterday after my dr appt in the area. Husband and I were sick all day yesterday w food poisoning. He had to go back to work after we ate here and was sick at work all day and I was sick at home. With a cast on. This place is dangerous.

Racist restaurant. If you are a person of color, do not go…read more My husband and I went there on Saturday morning with our two-year-old child and my 65-year-old parents. We did not have a reservation and arrived around 8:30 a.m. The staff told us we would have to wait two hours to be seated because we did not have a reservation. At that time, however, there were many empty tables inside the restaurant. I asked why we could not sit at one of the empty tables, and they said all of them were booked. I asked, "Are you sure? Every single empty table is booked?" They said yes. They told us to come back around 10:30 or wait nearby in case someone canceled and a table opened up earlier. I also asked if we could sit outside. They said the outdoor seating area was not open yet and would not open until 9:30. Because my young child was very hungry, I decided to wait. We were standing inside the restaurant, but the staff told us we had to wait outside. So we did. All of us stood outside, including my 65-year-old parents. After a while, I saw a white couple go inside. I clearly heard them say they did not have a reservation, but they were seated inside immediately. After waiting for an hour, we were finally seated outside at around 9:30. However, when we got outside , I noticed there were already customers sitting at tables and being served food. That means they have been seated for a while. I was very angry, but I did not want to ruin the day for my child and my parents, who did not fully understand what had happened. But we were definitely treated unfairly. we will never come back to this racist restaurant.

We arrived for our 12:45 reservation and checked in on time. No greeting. The blonde hostess said there'd be a 10-20 minute wait. Fine. When I checked again, the brunette hostess claimed we "weren't on the list," even though we had a confirmed reservation. After some back‑and‑forth, she suddenly found it and told us to come back in five minutes. We were finally seated, then ignored for 20 minutes with no water, no greeting, nothing. The blonde eventually took our order, apologized, and said the brunette "didn't know we were there," even though she was the one who sat us. She offered a $10 gift card we never received. Two dishes we ordered were unavailable -- and we only found out after waiting another 20-30 minutes and watching tables seated after us get their food first. No manager was available, just a "server assistant" who couldn't do much. By the time we left, it was 2:00 PM. We'd been there over an hour with no food and nonstop confusion. A nearby table mentioned slow service too, so clearly this wasn't just us. Key issues: * No greeting * Reservation "lost" * Seated then ignored * Two menu items unavailable * Conflicting stories from staff * Promised gift card never given * No manager available I hate writing negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable from start to finish, and people deserve to know.
