    a cup of yogurt and a slice of pizza
    Elyssa D.

    Their frozen yogurt (vanilla) is probably the best I've ever had. Something about it is so simple yet so delicious. No toppings needed/wanted it's just perfect. Their pizza is never anything to rave about, it's pretty bland but gets the job done lol. This time, unfortunately, it was a bit raw in some places. I just ate around it, it wasn't too large of a spot but it definitely could've been cooked a bit longer. The meatball sundae has mashed potatoes, Swedish meatballs, and lingonberry sauce all in a convenient cup. Eve try other time I've had the meatball place from IKEA it's delicious, the perfect combo of flavors. This time though, the meatballs were pretty dry and a bit hard. The mashed potatoes, gravy, and lingonberry sauce was the same ol' goodness! I would've loved a dollop more lingonberry though. All in all, this wasn't a very good day for ikea's cafeteria BUT I'll still be back. Again and again.

    This is a hit or miss experience. Sometimes they have the food you want, but other times they can't even offer you the essentials (mashed potatoes). Come on! The drink machine has been out on two separate visits (both far apart from each other). This is a bummer when you wanted to get some tasty juice to quench your summer thirsts. We love our meatballs, but this restaurant is not a top tier IKEA restaurant.

    The meatball plate in all its glory!

    To shamelessly steal a line from another reviewer, "Buy a mattress, eat some balls, life is grand!" I couldn't put it any better. IKEA's cafeteria food is a fun and brilliant addition to the furniture store, and it's actually pretty darned good. While I've never really warmed to their gravlax, the salads, or the seasonal specials like pulled pork, the meatballs can't be beat. IKEA's food is surprisingly delicate and nicely textured - it's not like the larger, robust Italian meatballs. The gravy is lightly flavored and pleasant, the mashed potatoes are fine, and the veggies are *properly* done. They still have a little 'crunch' to them, which is correct - steaming or boiling them to extreme tenderness turns them to mush. Of special note is their lingonberry sauce and drink. The sauce is reminiscent of cranberries, which makes a lot of us think of the holidays, but it's a nice splash of color and sweetness against the meaty flavor of the meatballs. And I'm a fan of the lingonberry soda! It reminds me of a Cranberry Ginger Ale, which is an all-to-rare drink. Well worth a stop in if you're in the market for self-assembled furniture! This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK being seen eating here by Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    Vegetarian Spread at the IKEA food court
    Anuja S.

    While spending time for furniture looking through the sprawling IKEA store in Round Rock, we decided to check out the menu for vegetarian menu. They had 3 options - Veggie Balls, Veggie Burger (kids menu) and open faced veggie wrap. We ordered the below for 2 of us (adult) Veggie Balls - they were great, served with rice(asked for potato salad instead) and green beans. For those who know Indian food, it the veggie Balls curry was very similar to Kofta curry. Yum! Veggie Burger - Very standard; served with fries and beans (asked to substitute with fries instead). Open Faced Veggie Wrap- Freshly prepared in front of us with fresh cheese, green and tomatoes. Loved the freshness. They were running out of it when we asked for it, they were sweet to prepare it for us. We also got the soda and prepackaged Ginger smoothie. Desserts - We also added 2 yummy coconut chocolate based desserts. Loved it. Perfect finish to the meal. Service - it's a standard buffet, self serve service. The people were very friendly. It's a little noisy since it's not your sit sown restaurant; more cafeteria style. One star off since the could add some more vegetarian options. Recommended!

    Chicken and mashed potato meal ($7). Chicken was totally dry. Waste of money and not filling.
    Derek Y.

    I'd heard excellent things about IKEA's food court for years so I was particularly let down when I tried the chicken with mashed potatoes meal ($7). Not only did the meal look like the cheapest off brand dollar store version of the photo (which was beautiful), the chicken was also startlingly dry. Like, you almost have to try to over cook chicken to that degree. It was a sad, sad meal. The mashed potatoes were also lukewarm at best and the gravy was cool (not '80s cool, but temperature cool), so that was icing on the cake. Save your money and eat at a real restaurant.

    Swedish meatballs (~$5.99)
    Hong L.

    If you come to Ikea, you eat at the food court. Ikea is famous for its Swedish meatballs and that's exactly what I always come to get here. The Swedish meatballs comes with lingonberry sauce, steam vegetables, and mash potatoes and gravy. Everything taste great except for the steam vegetables, it's bland every time without any seasoning or taste. Extra meatballs is $1. They also sell frozen packages of them to make at home. I don't really get any other of the food offerings but they do have salmon, salads, desserts, and other hot food items. To me, the salmon dishes don't really look very fresh so you may want to skip on those. Dessert options include: chocolate cake, cheesecake, and apple pie. Drinks include fountain drinks, coffee, tea, chocolate milk, and some Sweden specialty drinks. Overall, good, cheap food for lunch. Get the meatballs for the best option. Nothing too stellar but fills the hunger. Dining area is pretty spacious, generally pretty clean. They also have a smaller food court downstairs that has hotdogs, cinnamon rolls, ice cream etc.

    Vegetarian sausage...ONLY?!?
    C A.

    I love IKEA, but they haven't been making it easy lately! Since being closed for "renovations" for several months the drink station has had something out of service almost every time I go (which is regularly). Prices have recently gone up. Lingonberry seems to be getting replaced by strawberry (What's that about? This is IKEA for heavens sake!) And today...vegetarian sausage...only?!?

    Swedish Meatballs Meal
    Taylor Z.

    Really solid meal! Honestly not a bad place to grab a bite to eat. The Swedish meatballs are pretty dope and the vegetables/mashed potatoes that it comes with are decent. I always get the meatballs because they are so consistent but I've tasted their other options and everything seems decent. I would recommend grabbing the garlic bread! It's pretty crunchy buttery dope. It was around Christmas time when I came, so they had cranberries as well. Which were decently tart and sweet. Nothing like your mom could make them, but pretty decent for such a cheap meal. It's honestly a great place to have a cheap lunch if you are shopping at IKEA. They also have some themed meals around holiday times.

    Sanjana P.

    A must try, especially if you are going for shopping at IKEA. Taste: 5/5 Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Healthy: 5/5 Price: 5/5 I would give more if it is possible. Bottom line: You can finish a healthy and tasty meal in less than 5 dollars. Need I say more?

    Swedish meatballs with steamed veggies and mashed taters with gravy, bland but good
    Tim C.

    Finally got around to trying the Ikea restaurant and it was actually pretty good, we shared as usual with me getting the lion's share . Priced very reasonably and tasted bland but good. The stuffed chicken breast was good and the Swedish meatballs were good too. Both plates came with mashed taters and veggies. If you have a IKEA membership, coffee and hot tea are free at anytime...you don't need to buy anything according to the lady that checked us out in the restaurant...we promptly grabbed some pretty good jo......next visit i'll try the snack bar offering of two hotdogs and a drink for 2 dollars.

    IKEA's food court was busy. We needed an afternoon pick up while shopping. Coffee and cake was an awesome treat before shopping

    The food was not bad for the price, but this place is definitely a no-go again purely because of how awful the store is.

    I have a degree in Interior Design and way back when...not long out of art school at all, IKEA was…read moremy first design-related job. I got hired to work at the Pittsburgh location which is actually in Robinson Township very close to the Pittsburgh International Airport. My room sections were bedrooms, in which I was responsible for the design and layout, executing it all myself. So now, let's talk about IKEA. I am a huge fan and have been since prior to their expansion into the U.S. market. As a student, I had access to materials for furniture and decor from all over the world. And of course, when I was just starting out with my first apartment, everything was IKEA from top to bottom. All of the stores pretty much have the same setup (there may be one or two small differences). What it boils down to for me is the availability of items, i.e., do they have what I want in stock? These days, I am more of an accessories shopper or having lunch at the cafe, and stocking up on those sweet, sweet Swedish goodies. This location has everything I need and want anytime I swing by. The value and pricing IKEA has always been known for are still there, though they too have seen increases over the years. And even though it is a self-service concept, employees are always available to assist and are happy to do so. IKEA & this location get an A+ from me.

    LOVE IKEA, such a great place. Popped in to specifically get new kitchen towels, 4 for $5.99 and…read morethey finally got a new pattern in stock. I use the frequently and they are very sustainable, reusable and hold up great. I just washed them and the black/white ones were the only ones to shrink up a bit. Otherwise, all look great. Service was pretty basic as it was only during check out when having them oversee the purchase.
