Ikea Restaurant Reviews

We started our IKEA shopping marathon with a lunch at the restaurant. I had a lovely salad with a couple of slices of smoked salmon, our kids had a smoked salmon wrap and a nice hearty white bean soup, the carrot cupcakes were awesome, with drinks and all it came to $9 a head... Even if you are not coming to shop (though I don't know how anyone could resist the temptation) I would definitely recommend it for a quick and easy meal. They also have a hot meal counter, the layout is canteen style... Grab a tray and make your pick.

It is not the Best taste ever, but it is very good for the money. I ate a salmon very good and the desert was very good. I recomend!

Besides the iconic meatballs, try the garlic bread, the round vegetable patties and when they have it, the fish. First quality dining at a cheap price. There are no waiters--so no tips. Dining is cafeteria-style. We usually eat before we shop; dining room is on the second floor.

This Ikea could have been in any part of the world as exactly the same outlay etc., Only stopped at the restaurant for coffee and cake, which was good, as the store was very quiet and the food looked like it had been sitting there for some considerable time.

Besides the 20 minute line waiting, we got cold food. The famous meatballs were tasteless. The vegetables (two types of beans) were cold. The salad was fair. At the conclusion of the meal I noticed a microwave for customer use. Now what restaurant wants customers to heat up their own food? The staff was friendly. The dining area needed tending with many soiled tables. Price was good, about $9 per person. They have a children's menu.

This is a very convinient buffet style restaurant. Quality is good, great options and very easy to be served, today we tried the salmon plate with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The tomato soup was really good too! The veggie wrap also good 😀

An impromptu suggestion from a colleague to go to Ikea for lunch was a great idea. The ambiance was just so European, there was even a patron there with his small dog! I had there iconic meatballs and of course the awesome salmon with dill sauce. Just a great meal in typical European style where you clear your own table and put away your tray, dishware and utensils - brought back good memories of past travels.

This 2nd floor restaurant offers very good prices and a very clean, bright atmosphere. The Swedish meatballs are the big seller, but the smoked salmon and regular steamed salmon are excellent value and taste too. My wife likes the apple pie with their heavy sweet cream. Sometimes, (you must call to find out) if you spend $100 in the store they give you a free lunch. For really quick bites on the first floor you get two hot dogs and a drink for pennies.

I was perusing with the twins for frames and decided to stop by the restaurant. The variety of healthy choices,from salads to sandwiches and hot dishes was very good for a store restaurant. We decided to go for some chicken fingers and fries for the twins and I got mashed potatoes with the famous (and super yummy) swedish meatballs, and veggies in a lingonberry sauce, also got a piece of cake and a couple of juices. Well, it was SO GOOD that the twins ended up eating my food, especially MY VEGGIES. Very surprised. And they absolutely loved the chocolate cake. It was not super sweet or huge, like we are used to here in the US. Everything was perfectly portioned to satisfy. It is very organized and clean and spacious. And there is even a section for kids to play. I liked it so much, that I'm already planning my next visit to IKEA. 5 stars.

Imagine my surprise to realize how amazing the Ikea restaurant is. There was a good variety of meals, desserts and drinks at great prices. The meal portions were large and extremely satisfying.

There's a machine when you walk in to get your free card. With it you get discounts on food and some store purchases. There's plenty of indoor parking. (just remember what floor your on) On the way out, there's a frozen food section to get that big bag of Swedish meatballs and smoked salmon. There's an ice cream stand too.

We were shopping in IKEA and as you know this can be an all day event. We decided to have lunch there. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon and they had a special of chicken which I wanted. I ordered it and was told that the truck hadn't arrived yet so they didn't have any. I ask, why didn't the manager remove it from the board? So, I had a chicken cobb salad which was OK. The chicken was dry and the lettuce limp but as I had gotten deathly sick on their Swedish meatballs previously, I was steering clear of them. In general, all the prepared food looked old and dried out. It is, what it is. I guess it's true, you can't get good help these days.

I love the selection of boxes and different sizes, colors and texture to organize my closet office project. Also a great range on accessories for the desk to keep you organize and office chairs and lamps selection. There is always an employee around willing to help you and answer any questions and/or give you subjections.

Came here to eat some dinner with my gf. As usual ikeas swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes and lingonberry never disappoint you. It is a shame though that they dont have bigger plates than just for 8 meatballs, in Sweden you can get up to 16 if you would like. Great prices, just go there and enjoy some food before grabbing some nice furniture!

We started loving IKEA when in Goteborg, Sweden. Have always loved their Swedish Meatballs, almost as good as mine. The drawback was that the line to pay for our meal was so long, with one slower than molasses checker, that our food was cold by the time we sat. This fact was very disappointing.

It was clean which was a plus the meatballs were okay I guess nothing special me and my three friends left without paying cause it was so bad

A must whenever we visit IKEA ! Swedish Meatballs with mashed potatoes,brown gravy and Lingon Sylt (berries) Gele' this combination is a Must!! Or it's not Swedish! For some the Gele' is a little skeptical but try it ! A mouth full of the Combination! Let me know! On a good day I'll start with a Gravad Lax (salmon) with mustard sauce and finish off with a apple pie with vanilla sauce!! GOTT !!

Dining area clean - employees friendly - food - OK if you are shopping and hungry. Salads leave a little something desired.

It is clean and fast plus very decent price. But the food was cold and flavorless. Convenient but not to go again.

The best food option I know of in the vicinity of the dolphin mall. It's really all about the price and I suppose, the taste of Sweden. It's a decent vegetarian option for a town where there is little beyond beans and rice, or rice or beans. Actually came here today for just the food even though I'm not looking for any particleboard furniture. There's also a pretty cool view if you just want to space out on turnpike traffic.

As we entered the IKEA mega store, we decided to have an early lunch to give us the strength and endurance to truly tackle the 1000's of choices that awaited us. We found the buffet of choices to be very clean and heathy. We were able to feed our family of 5 for $45. This was the start of a great day of bargains!

I already love Ikea and can easily spend hours there, but the restaurant just adds to the experience. It's surprisingly good, and I recommend the Chocolate Conspiracy Cake to all. Definitely a great add-on for Ikea!!

I don't much like their lunch or dinner offerings but the breakfast is outstanding. I suggest you arrive by 8:30 AM...have a big breakfast amd walk most of it off in the store. I highly recommend it.

I think for the price they should enlarge their portions...This is not where the ptofit should be made, they make enough as it is..So I decided to get a hot dog at the exit stand for 75 cents..now that is value for your money...

Lookwarm food served on old wet trays. Veggies barely cooked. Meets my expectations of a cheap hospital cafeteria. Would not come back unless starving.

The food at Ikea is a lot like some of their products...looks great but not very good. In my opinion, the chicken fingers are the best thing there. Although, a lot of people like their Swedish meatballs. To me there just ok. Come to think of it everything is just OK. Please add some healthy, tasty things to your menu Ikea.

Never miss a visit to Ikea when in Florida, and I love getting there early to have my breakfast here before the store opens!
