Ikea Restaurant

The environment was clean and organized. Going a little bit earlier than the time you want to eat is recommended because it can get pretty busy, but even then it is a nice place to eat at. It is a great place to relax and take a break during shopping. The food is delicious. The seating is also really nice.

We're avid visitors of IKEA, even if we don't have shopping in mind, it's a quick, good, no-drama lunch bite. I recently found self-checkouts. (Which I'm not fond of) which also means they probably had people let go. Not so good news. I feel the vibe is like a great indoor exhibition. You can walk around without feeling exhausted. And you might find something interesting and attractive to purchase. Love to see disabled visitors with their caregivers. Nothing they can get in trouble with. ❤️

My expectations were low coming into this experience, but I was pleasantly surprised. The meatballs lived up to the hype, I feel like the meatballs to IKEA are like the hot dogs to Costco. Similarly, you can buy them frozen and take them home if you'd like. Anyways, I tried the chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. The tenders were good (fries were average) and the mashed potatoes exceeded my expectations. The vegetables were bland though, so don't expect a lot of flavor there. Loved the smoked salmon. The drink selection is good. I got the pear flavored sparkling water, it was really good. In all, it was solid for what it was. If I knew I was making a trip to IKEA, I wouldn't mind going hungry and eating here. I can always walk it off after as I attempt to do my best interior designer impersonation. -KG
