IKEA Restaurant - Scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage links, wheat pancakes and special ikea jam. $3 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

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. read more

The food here is meh but I guess you get what you pay for. The Swedish meatballs are SO overrated! I've had better. The pasta and sauce was frowned upon by my 5 year old. How can you mess up pasta and sauce?? Yikes The restaurant is not clean at all. There was food, napkins, cups & plates all over the floor. We had to search for a clean table to sit at and still had to wipe down one of the 'clean' ones. They have no-frills flat soda which they give you a dirty glass for. I observed the lady that was cleaning the bathroom come out and start cleaning the dinning area without changing her gloves. I will continue to shop at this IKEA but I will 100% skip the cafeteria. read more

Do NOT SHOP HERE!! Go to Elizabeth NJ Ikea. Management here need to be retrained. They do not make sound decisions when it comes to making your shopping easy. You them standing around on their phones talking. They could have opened a line for purchases 5 and under but they aloud the cashiers to just open registers and let people run from any where to get in line before those who've been waiting for over 30 minutes. I gave it 1 star because you have to. It's horrible. read more

This was my first trip to Ikea, like, ever. I did not know they had a restaurantt! My fiancé and I had been walking a lot already and we got hungry. So we saw the restaurant and decided to check it out. Uhm their food is legit! It was very tasty and it had such great presentation as well. I got a salad and a soup. My Fiancé got chicken and mash potatoes. The service was good. The people behind the kitchen had patience in answering a few questions we had about the food. I think the food at ikea is pretty good considering the fact that it is in a furniture store. Do not underestimate it haha. I hope to come back and try other things on the menu when i come back to look for furniture. read more

I know I know who eats at Ikea and you know what, this girl!! My first encounter with Ikea meatballs was at the Brooklyn location and it was delicious. Being on a budget, if you would like to save some money and fill that belly, IKEA is your place. $4.99 for a plate of meatballs, I want to say around 15, mashed potatoes with gravy and lingonberry sauce. There's other options such as salads, soups, ribs, chicken fingers, and wraps. All affordable and a great place to eat before shopping at Ikea or not. I definitely feel like I would return just to have their meatballs again... read more

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. read more

I've never been to this IKEA. I've been to the one in Elizabeth. This one is by far considerably smaller than the one in Elizabeth, maybe it's more organized or there are less products but I came here mostly for their breakfast food. Arriving here wasn't that bad, there was accessible parking. On the second level there is the restaurant and it is very cafeteria like. Grab a tray and get your drinks. They usually have chocolate milk, strawberry milk, lingonberry drink, or elderflower drink. I personally recommend the elderflower drink. Has a light taste and it's packed with antioxidants. Then you're greeted by a worker, today it was a really hearty "Good morning" which is always great to hear. I ordered the Swedish breakfast for $2. Great deal because it comes with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, breakfast potatoes, swedish pancakes, and strawberry jam. You can add various sides for extra such as bacon. The eggs were nice and fluffy, good crunch from the breakfast potatoes. The Swedish pancakes had the consistency and taste of a crepe, although there was a slight crunch around the edges which was different and unique. I think they could elevate the plate by offering a low carb syrup. Turkey sausage was seasoned well. I'll definitely come back here for their cheap food. read more

I really enjoy shopping at IKEA and spending hours looking around. Thankfully, they have an indoor restaurant with sitting area. I really appreciate great staff and this one particular Spanish girl caught my attention. Her name is Lizette (sorry if I spelled it wrong) This girl was what I call a true champ, a leader, a boss! She was serving lots of people all on her own. She never complained, didn't demonstrate frustration and was focused. Everyone on the line felt bad that she was the only server but also impressed by her professionalism. Lizette, thank you for your hard work and dedication. We the starved IKEA people appreciate you read more

I flipping love IKEA. The products are cheap in price and quality but they look great in my house. Also, who can beat their inexpensive cafe!! read more

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. read more

This location is always packed and you can never find anyone to help you without waiting in long lines. It doesn't seem to matter what time or day of the week, just always swamped. read more

This place is always a mad house and hard to move through sometimes . I do have to say I like this location far better than Elizabeth. The lines are fairly busy but the staff keep it moving. The snack area on the other hand gets crazy and the line moves on the slow size . read more

Can't beat the location and Ikea have priced their food service at a very modest level, however, it's getting to the point that you'd gladly pay 50% more for better quality food. The service was unfortunately very very slow and the food quality rather poor. The famous Swedish meatballs were tasty but soon ushered in some unrelenting heartburn. The steamed vegetables were completely flavorless....just flavorless organic matter in your mouth. Coulda been a carrot or possibly some broccoli, I honestly will never know. The soda was flat....diet cola flavored water, which they charged me for......wow. So the sofa's and kitchen tables are great but the food is severely lacking. read more

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. read more

Food seems healthy, inexpensive and fast. The portions will leave you hungry, if you do not add on bread or a soup. Would recommend stopping in for a bite or see what the specials may be. Breakfast is also a bargain at $2.00 read more

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. read more

Yes, I eat at Ikea as well. I really enjoy their meat balls. I'm not a meat ball person, but I only like these. Enough said. read more

Yea! IKEA for finally creating an adults-only high top section, bonus points for being near the food and drink station to reduce chances of spilling coffee on running children. Great way to try IKEA food and drinks, IKEA Family members get free coffee! (75 cents otherwise, where else would you get that? And it's good!) read more

Take a trip back to college at this cafeteria-style restaurant. French fries are good, but I got the chicken dinner (with vegetables and mashed potatoes) for a whopping $3.99! What a deal for such quality food. Also, get the $1 cinnamon buns. You won't regret it! read more

So i came here because my friend just moved into his new apartment and wanted to look at beds. I've been to the IKEA at the Elizabeth location but this is my first time here. We got hungry and so we ate at the IKEA restaurant right before checking out. We got a bunch of different dishes so that we can share and try a little bit of everything. We got the meatballs, salmon, chicken tenders, fries, cornbread and fountain drink all for under $30 to feed 4 people (A STEAL). The meatballs come with vegetables and mash potatoes & the salmon comes with a vegetable quiche and vegetables. Overall I think everything was pretty good (the cornbread not so much). I personally really liked the drinks (the rasberry juice box as well as the fountain drink sparkling pear water). There a LOT of places to sit and eat (pretty clean as well). I don't think I'll come here just to eat but I think this is one of the nicest in-store restaurants that i've been to (including mall courts). read more

Came here with my mom after shopping on a tuesday afternoon. I got the swedish meatball combo which came with potatoess and she got the salmon and the dill sauce. we shared so this way we didn't have to decide, haha. well that food was delicious and cheap. its well worth the price you pay. the woman at the register was friendly as well as the woman behind the counter who gave us our food to take. honestly if I lived closer, I would probably come here for lunch or dinner some days. im sure people do that all the time (I saw a family come in while i was eating and it looked like they did just that!) read more

Food is delicious enough to make a trip from Essex county. My dissapointment is that I dont eat pork. For years I have come here for the Swedish meatballs, which I assumed was beef. Texture, taste and smell like beef. My daughter bought the frozen ones to take home. Thats when she saw that it is beef and pork. I almost got sick when i heard that. Dissapointed. The veggie balls are good, but I miss the swedish ones. read more

The service at this location has gone downhill. Staff is nice, but obviously poorly managed. They are always out of a key ingredient on the menu. Today they were out of fries and veggie meatballs, with a strange mystery vegetable instead of green beans. Last week they were out of mash potatoes. Long lines for food and only one cashier. read more

I wish I can give a -10 score. This store and the workers are a joke. I was scheduled for a Friday delivery, waited from 5-9pm and nothing, they rescheduled me the next day again from 5pm-9pm and again no delivery and no explanation. The worse experience ever. Got my money back after spending over $700.00 and will never shop at any IKEA ever again. Nothing but clowns and no respect for people's time and value. Disgusted. European way of treating people. What else is new. read more

Really excited to say that IKEA now has to go containers! So for years we have been bringing our own containers to take our meatballs home when we don't have time to eat in the restaurant (lol!). For 5.99 you can get 12 meatballs, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Plus the lingonberries, which aren't my super favorite part of the meal. They have the lingonberries in like a ketchup dispenser and they just plop them on your plate without asking if you want them or not (it was a busy Saturday afternoon at the time, so I can't blame her to just keep the line going), but otherwise are server was very pleasant. They have a new yogurt dessert that we didn't get to try because we didn't think it would be good to take it home and that it was probably best eaten there. Also picked up a $1 frozen yogurt cone on the way out. Really like all the deals at ikea :) read more

Like this IKEA it is always packed tho but the workers always help me when needed. Never tried the food but I heard it is great.

I was amazed at how quiet this Ikea was, especially the restaurant on a Friday night. I live about 1.5 hours from one and it's always packed no matter the time of day. This was fantastic. The store was great to browse, there were no lines down there either. The restaurant portion had so much seating and was so clean. They also offered items that we don't get closer to home like pork and salmon balls. We tried the salmon balls (mixed reviews on that) and the traditional meatball plus a salmon salad. The traditional meatballs and sides were so good. Delicious. Salmon salad was good as always. The salmon balls were just okay - tasted more like filling than salmon but we did like the buckwheat on the cauliflower. Yum. The drink machine was a bit wonky - took a couple of tries to get the pear water that we wanted. All in all though, an inexpensive and filling meal in an Ikea where you could actually find seating and breathe while browsing so that was a win! read more
