    I love ikea and love stopping for lunch. Lines were long bc ppl won't park their carts. The food staff is very friendly and the food was nice and hot. You can bc also pick how many meatballs you'd like. I just got 8. Got a drink but did a mix of fizzy raspberry and fizzy lemon. It was really good.

    Beware, the meatballs gave me food poisoning! I had everything the same as someone else that day except she got the plant balls and I got the swedish meatballs. Avoid...

    The Havana Chicken was alright. There wasn't much flavor on the beans and rice. The chicken itself was cooked the right amount but didn't have too much seasoning either. It's not a huge portion considering it costed only $10. I much preferred the Swedish meatballs meal. This is their signature dish for a reason. The meatballs have a nice consistency and are well seasoned. The sides also reminded me of Thanksgiving food. The structure of the restaurant is like a cafeteria. An employee comes around every now and then to wipe down the tables. You're expected to clean up after yourself and put the trays into the tray area.

    All tables looked like this.

    The better question is what could be worse? Basically everything not available, including meatballs. Employee working made it very apparent she would rather be not working. Tables all dirty, in fact the entire restaurant area was nasty. This is certainly not the IKEA experience I've had in the past.

    10/22/23 Here we go, Back again, Eat some food, Feel great again. Did you every come to IKEA just for the food. Today this was our mission. The side mission don't really matter, but we might do some soul searching since we are here. The Vegetarian Meatballs vs the Swedish Meatballs...?! Both are magically delicious. However, to answer the question, the Vegetarian Meatballs came ahead by half a point. The Sparkling Apple Juice vs Sparkling Pear Juice. The Pear Juice wins. I can't forget about the Mac and cheese either. The Mac and cheese isn't the best I had in the world, it is something I have to get a sample of each time I am here. Yes folks, We were only here for the food and bot for shopping at IKEA. Hard to believe, but it does happen. I am sure we will be back another day to do both shopping and eating. Until then...

    Swedish Meatballs with Mixed Veggies and Mashed Potatoes

    I always have to stop by and get food after walking around shopping for furniture. After all, the Swedish meatballs are one of the main motivators for coming here. The food here is pretty average. It can be a hit or miss sometimes, but regardless the taste and flavor for everything is pretty average. It won't blow you away or anything. The Food: I got the 8-piece Swedish meatballs with some mixed veggies and mashed potatoes. The meatballs were good. The vegetables were quite bland and lacked flavor which was almost inedible. Mash potatoes were fine. I also got a piece of salmon fillet and that was surprisingly tender and tasty. The Service: The service was good. The staff were friendly and everything was very clean inside.

    I have always loved coming to Ikea as a kid. Eating the Swedish meatballs is always nostalgic. I have always loved the meatballs, gravy, and lingonberry jam. They all mix very well. The mashed potatoes are also decent like average. They did not have broccoli this time so I was able to switch it or some french fries which are nice to dip in the gravy. Overall, the food is yummy as always but it was served a little cold which made it taste less good. I think the food was worth it in the past but now prices have raised. I paid $7-8 for this plate which used to be $5.

    I have officially fulfilled my childhood dream. I vividly remember watching Buzzfeed's "People Try Ikea Meatballs" and made it my life's mission to try them. I initially thought that you just get 12 meatballs but was pleasantly surprised that the mash, jam, and veggies were included. I added a side salad and Texas toast to complete my meal. The meatballs were spectacular- juicy and tender. The mash was creamy and buttery, the jam wasn't overly sweet or overpowering, and veggies are always delicious. The gravy really glued everything together to create a scrumptious meal. I was completely stuffed afterwards. I wish every high/middle school would model the dining area of IKEA. It was such a comfortable and welcoming environment. I also love how its conveniently located at the end of the IKEA maze for a nice reward after what seems like hours of walking. Love love IKEA and I wish they would make one located closer to me :)

    The staff couldn't have been more rude if they were put through an orientation on how to be a total jerk. Rebecca was our server in the food cattle line & I have never seen a human in more dire need of a attitude adjustment. Just horrible. IKEA, you pay her for that attitude? The food is equivalent to a Swanson's TV dinner. Save your money & the abuse & skip this one.

    If you like Mac and cheese IKEA's is to die for! Since moving up to VA and ikea being 40 mins away, my boyfriend and I have been coming almost every weekend and while we're here looking for some shelf, we always stop for lunch. The veggie meatballs are and always love their lemon water. Also with the family discount you can get a free coffee! But like $2 mac and cheese side that's like huge? You cannot beat and I totally recommend all their desserts. I hope I'm not fan-girling to much but check out ikea's restaurant!

    Always a pretty good eat when we stop by. Chicken tenders pretty crunchy and yummy. Building up that energy for making all my new furniture

    My first time eating at IKEA, and i was surprised at how cheap the meatballs were! All the items are at an affordable price and the quality is pretty decent! A good place to eat after an IKEA trip.

    I went for the seafood meatballs and once I got to the counter they were all gone. Big mistake! Huge mistake. In my quest to be a solid pescatarian I had to eat the veggie meatballs. Guess what? They were actually delicious. So I learned something new and I even found them downstairs in the frozen food section. They were about 8 a bag and I bought a few. So all and all it didn't turn out so bad. When I got downstairs they actually had a vegetable hot dog and onions and peppers for 2.50 with a drink. I would have rather eaten that, but I didn't see it until the end of my trip. I will try it during my next ikea excursion.

Do U even have an EXPO on duty?! Do they check orders as they leave the kitchen?! I ordered a FAMILY SIZED Cesar salad and got a salad for 1! I ordered 2 dressings & got 1!!! I have photos of the salad! They are supposed to use the bigger round bowl for family sized salads! This rectangle bowl is much smaller. And, they didn't pack it nearly full of romaine! Much of the romaine that is in the bowl is discolored & bad! I am beyond dissatisfied. I'm angry. This is NOT even close for a $35 salad! We need more romaine & more dressing! I have stupidly spent far too much at this place. Corporate needs to get involved. Every time we order, the bag is way over packed -- ever think of using 2 or more bags?! -- and liquids are NEVER secured! I have experienced countless deliveries with soup, salad dressing & the oil for bread turned upside down, pouring out of the bottom & bottom side of the bags! My Uber driver even told them tonite to make sure the bag was assembled correctly. They added 4 staples at the top of the bag!!! How is that going to help my delivery?! Are U serious?! One of the managers, Alex, is nice. But, our deliveries are still arriving WRONG! He drove to deliver salad dressing once that was completely eliminated from my bag. We ordered the family size salads! And, I always order an extra bowl of dressing. Again tonite, I got just 1 bowl of dressing! Where's my second one?! And, where's the romaine?! The pricing is astronomical for these sloppy things to keep happening. Alex/other managers, U need to do 3 things: o Tell your staff to READ ORDERS before preparing them! (Why do they keep leaving out the 2 orders of salad dressing I order?! It happened again tonite.) o Tell your kitchen staff CONSISTENCY MATTERS! (Prepare decent sized portions & make sure portions are exactly the same per order!) NOTE: We got chicken & fries a few days ago & it was crazy! We ordered a bunch of them for the family. Two orders were acceptable -- they had a decent amount of chicken and fries. The other 3 orders were awful! There were barely any fries in them & the chicken was in tiny, little pieces. Another example, we ordered a focaccia loaf a couple days ago. It arrived warm & soft. Ordered 2 more tonite & it arrived cold and hard. What the frick is going on?! How hard is it for staff to execute their jobs professionally?! CONSISTENCY MATTERS! o Buy THICK CARDBOARD INSERTS to put in the bottom of delivery bags! I'm done having my soup, salad dressing & oil for bread leaking out of the bags! It gets all over the food items inside the bag, it gets on the Uber driver & in their cars. And, I'm out the proper amount of soup, salad dressing & oil that I ordered & paid for. Does any of this make sense?! If staff don't care -- it shows -- just close down the restaurant.

Even though it was pretty busy, we were seated immediately, and I was especially grateful to be seated in a quieter corner where the tables were more to the side instead of directly behind us. It was a stressful moment because my autistic son was having a really hard time and was clearly overwhelmed. Our server was wonderful, but the manager, Joy, was truly an angel sent at the perfect time. Not only did she remember our family from a previous visit, but after we explained that our son is autistic and was struggling in the moment, she immediately went to the back and returned with markers, paper, gemstone stickers, a timer, and more -- almost like she was fully prepared for children with sensory needs. I honestly can't express how much that meant to us. Her timing couldn't have been better, and we will forever be grateful for her kindness and compassion. On top of that, when my food came out, my steak wasn't cooked the way I requested. I honestly wasn't even planning to say anything, but Joy noticed I wasn't eating it and asked how I had ordered it cooked. When I explained, she kindly offered to remove it from the check. Managers like Joy are rare and so deeply appreciated. The food was great, but truthfully, Joy is what made this experience unforgettable. You can tell she's not only an amazing manager, but also a genuinely good person with a caring heart. Thank you, Joy, for making such a lasting impression on our family. Silver Diner is lucky to have you!

So I continue on Colonial St, see a big parking garage that reads Rose Gaming Resort, went up the ramp and parked. I went into the elevator, took a guess and push down to the 1st floor. Well there it was .. the food court with multiple restaurants inside the resort in which didn't stated beforehand. In the lobby, there's 6 establishments on the 1st floor such as Crab Tastic, R' Burger, Mama Mia's Italian Kitchen, Southern Spin Kitchen, The Bar and Corner Store. But you have to check the listings as they do not open on the same days and hours. During Mondays-Wednesdays, you have to place your order at the Corner Store for Southern Spin Kitchen and R' Burger. There were 3 items: 1) Chicken and Waffle Sliders 2) Fried Chicken 3) Peach Cobbler. The sliders were unique, waffles were fluffy and chicken were crispy. You get 3 portions served with crispy fries and slaw but never received the slaw but everything was delicious. The fried chicken platter is served with two sides of choice (collard greens and mac n' cheese). Be careful with the first bite as the fried chicken is piping hot. The two sides are were delicious but the collard greens were too sweet for me. The peach cobbler was supposed to be à la mode in which the kitchen staff of SSK informed they ran out of ice cream. As I return to the cashier named Tasia F, I informed her of what SSK staff told me about the ice cream. With the assistance of another cashier named Allie, I was informed that cashier Tasia F went searching through other kitchens within the resort to see if ice cream was in stock. Unfortunately there wasn't any ice cream available which was okay. I wasn't expecting anything because I understand if supplies were short. But I had excellent service with these two cashiers who were friendly, genuine, knowledgeable and beyond customer service.
