Horribly ran - slow lines - one person serving - cashier just leaves one line and doesn’t return with no info The Swedish way definitely is not the American way

Every table was dirty, the staff is the worst I’ve encountered ever. This is my second time here and the same woman behind the serving counter (someone else posted a photo of her here) was so unbelievably rude to me when I was attempting to order my child’s food. Will never eat here again.

It’s a cafeteria. So… you know. Expect the cafeteria experience. If you can’t remember, you’ve never been to public school. I loved it! Smells delicious. The staff was friendly efficient awesome. but don’t expect people to fall over your feet. Again. It’s a cafeteria. I was a little disturbed by the negative reviews I saw. I did not in anyway have a bad experience. My ONLY issue is that I could NOT find menu pricing ANYWhERE on the internet so. I am providing pics of menus as of July 2025. Remember people… it’s a cafeteria.
Swedish meatballs are good. Peas and mashed potatoes were nice, could use a little salt tho. The plant balls were also pretty good, I liked them better than the meatballs.

Took my mom shopping for some much needed furniture and thought hey let's get some lunch while we are there. We were here when this Ikea opened and it had great food service and ambience. Today I cannot say the same, the entire dining area was abysmal and void of life, the nice seating areas by the windows were all blocked off and we were told we couldn't sit there. The food was expensive and couldn't even fill us up halfway. I got the breaded fish with mashed potatoes and peas and my mom got the grilled chicken with rice beans and plantains. The food was maybe the most bland food I've ever had in my entire life. Mashed potatoes were worse than boxed mashed potatoes, there was no salt, butter, pepper, or anything that went into it and it was dry and tasted like nothing. The fish was cooked well but honestly the serving size wasn't even a full filet. The fish was also not seasoned in anyway and there was just no kind of flavor. The same applied to my mom's meal. There were only 2 employees in the entire cafeteria and neither seemed like they had any kind of energy or awareness, essentially zombies no offense to them, I'm sure they merely adapted to the environment and culture of Ikea. Lastly the drink machine didn't even work. So I spent 25$ on a lunch with my mom and honestly I should have just gotten a refund. I'm going to take my mom to Culvers or something now but honestly we were really disappointed in what was once a great place. The same level of ambience and employee apathy could be seen in the furniture section of the store and the overall experience was just soulless. I will not be coming here again not for food, not for furniture either.

The Ikea Restaurant has gone downhill in terms of offerings. We hadn't eaten there in a year but used to go often before that. We were very surprised to find they weren't selling chicken tenders at all, a staple they always had for years that was great for kids and adults but mostly for picky kids. And you don't get to pick what sides you want now. Everyone just given cold peas and nasty potatoes and the tiniest amount of lingonberry sauce and gravy. There is no lingonberry sauce dispenser anymore for those like me who love it. I guess all this is to save money. Didn't even have the chocolate bars upfront, just some other small bar and gummies, gummies not being very practical with a meal but maybe that is just me. For those who may not know they used to also sell Pepsi and drinks, all gone. Unless you really like meatballs or salmon or cake the fun experience is gone.
As others have said, the tables are all dirty. But I had good service from the workers. Everyone was nice. Also there was almost no line on a Saturday. That shocked me but now I see why.

First time here. I wasn’t impressed at all. Tenders were decent but not hot. Fries were cold and dry. Peas halfway burnt and cold. My meal came up to almost 20 bucks. What a rip off. Never again.
