Solid place for comfort food on a rainy day. Home cooked meal feel. Nice staff cool place.

Their meatballs taste like Vieanna sausages or the ones in the bag from Costco. Not worth it to me. If they are going to proclame meatballs they should atleast have an italian one that Somewhat represents what an actual meatball tastes like. Not microwaved Filler thrown in sauce.

Great, friendly staff. Food is OK. They do have vegan/vegetarian options, surprisingly. Its not a bad place for a quick bite to eat in the area.

First time here. Great flavor on the original meatballs, just the right amount of spice. Good gravy, egg noodles. Had the sides of baked beans and applesauce, both very tasty and satisfying. Also had the flooded fries, original meatballs. Also quite good. Prices were reasonable. There is seating. The staff were very friendly and helpful to us. Explained options, relayed that the items are made in-house from family recipes. Gave recommendations for us first-timers. Highly recommend trying it out for some quality, hearty, good fast-food.

One night, my wife stopped at Manic Meatballs in Lakewood on her way home and purchased manic meatballs which she added to her spaghetti. They were delicious. I asked her if she had modified her own Italian meatballs, which are always delicious. Since then we have had the bacon wrapped meatballs, a special Italian meatballs and the manic meatballs (Swedish) in their special sauce. All excellent. They have full meals including sides and chocolate desserts as well. This is a very friendly family owned operation. Very good for a last minute, quick meal to bring home.

Staff was friendly, restaurant was clean, but frankly, Ikea makes better Swedish meatballs. Also tried the bacon wrapped and overall I felt they needed more seasoning in their meatballs. The deviled eggs filling tasted good but I think they use already peeled eggs because the white part was a bit rubbery. Fun concept for a restaurant but one and done.

You never get a second change to make a first impression! Arrived a half an hour after they opened with about 30 people waiting in line. They were to be there for 2 hours. Only one person "working the counter". Would take an order, then wait to fill it. Not taking another order til the first one was finished. Causing the line to move very, very, slowly. She was more interested in socializing with people she knew than in taking orders. Waited in line, in 60 degree weather, for over 40 mins. When we were about 10 people from the counter she said they are sold out of everything except fries. So we, and about 20 people behind us left in frustration. You sold out after being open one hour. You only sell three items. Use a formal inventory management system for your supplies. Will carefully reconsider going to them again, maybe try the restaurant, but definitely not this food truck if it's being run this way. Horrible.

Food was a wonderful change from. Other menus. Meatballs 4 types we tried 2. Mashed potatoes are so good! Applesauce is homemade. The tables and chairs are excellent for larger than life personalities! Solid. Safe! Friendly. Clean. And very family oriented. It was just 2 of us. But it has tables for families and littles! Tables are beautiful! Viking booth is a wonderful twist to everyday visual stimuli. The food... excellent!

I was really looking forward to trying out this restaurant offering meatballs and noodles; however, was a bit disappointed in the meatballs. I was expecting big, tender and juicy meatballs instead of small, dry and hard meatballs. The sauce was very tasty, but was a bit sparse. Noodles were good and served al dente but were also should have been a larger portion. This restaurant will increase their chance of survival if they find a way to deliver big, tender and juicy meatballs, with more sauce and noodles.

Meatballs were delicious, tried both kinds. Highly recommend the cucumber salad and the green beans. Clean place, practiced Covid safety.
