Great value for Swedish style dishes and other meals. Nice place to stop and have dinner or lunch before you shop. Much better than the food court and a nicer atmosphere. They add different items to the menu every so often but always have everyone's favorite the Swedish meatballs. They now have veggie and chicken Swedish meatballs. One of my favorites is the ribs which are fall off the bone good. For drinks they have Lingonberry juice which you can only find at Ikea. Also have very good coffee and desserts. About 4 times a year they have special seasonal dinners which you have to buy tickets in advance $12.99 for members. My favorite is Julbord which is a Swedish smorgasbord Christmas celebration. read more

I came to your store on 12/22/23 I purchased quite a few things in the swedish market,well what i could find your sortiment is not that great. But your cashier Emmi was very rude i had asked if there was more christmas soda because i needed more than 1 that was in the store first he said no there is no more,then when Paula came to relieve him because he needed a break she said no there is more upstairs in the restaurant she told him,but he said if i wanted more I have to go upstairs and by them because he was going on break and didn't have time to go and get them. So i asked him so you're telling me a customer that I basically can't buy them because he didn't want to go and get them because his break was more important than a customer and he said yes.But then Paula said she would go up and get them so he rung me up for some more. So i guess this is what IKEA has come to employees saying no because they need their break when it literally would had taken him less that 5 minutes to go and get them. Trust me i know the break is important but so is the customer and especially when you don't have a big sortiment in your market anymore This had nothing to do with the restaurant only the market downstairs read more

Who buys food from IKEA? I do! *** Locals IKEA is great for furniture shopping on a budget! *** Travelers Rarely will travelers visit IKEA since it's l furniture, but if you want a quick and cheap bite, IKEA is perfect! *** My Recommendation Surprisingly cheap, and surprisingly delicious, Scandinavian food at best here!

IKEA Restaurant - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

This place is great if you're looking for tasty, wholesome food at reasonable prices, especially if you're already there at IKEA shopping. This cafeteria is on the second floor of the store. There is lots of seating, but it can get busy. You get a tray and move through the line, where a friendly worker will serve you a hot meal (pick from the 5 or 6 offered daily on the board). A must-try is the Swedish meatballs, served in gravy with mashed potatoes, green beans, and lingonberry jam - kind of like cranberry sauce. You can also select from a number of cold items behind glass (my go-to is the smoked salmon and potato salad platter). They also have soups, prepackaged salads, Cookies and a number of other things you can pile on your tray without too much guilt, since everything is SO reasonably priced! Just like any cafeteria you pay at the end for everything. Free coffee if you're an IKEA family member. You bus your own table and drop your dirty tray off at the station. If there is one negative, it's that the place gets PACKED, especially on weekends, so be prepared to wait both for food and for a seat. But it's worth it! Honestly, if I worked in the mall I'd probably go here for lunch all the time instead of that s#!++¥ food court they have there. read more

Vern and Miguel at the market place by the register is professional and fun to interact with And all the ladies that work in that section always very nice and helpful Make me feel com eating food made/prepared by them read more

Absolutely obsessed with the meatballs! Ever since I was a kid, I always looked forward to coming here with my family after shopping for the house and sitting down to eat meatballs with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce at the Ikea restaurant. Such a warm and welcoming ambiance! The servers are always so sweet and helpful. High quality and so affordable! read more

We always come here after experienced better service than other location. I mean, it's just self service after all. But here, the worker are sooooo friendly! So nice and so welcoming. Also, I've try in other location a few time (close to my school) that the meat ball was very dry and spaghetti were cold. But here, never let me down. Hands up! I don't care if I have to spent another 30 minuets to get here. I love here. Thank to Ikea Hicksville:) read more

I have eaten at Ikea tons of times. Ever since I was a kid I would love to get their sweddish meatballs and a yogurt when I was done shopping, but the last time (3/12/17) I went I was not impressed at all. The meatballs and sauce with mashed potatoes was not the same. It was kind of bland? Don't know if the vegetables drenched in oil have something to do with it but if they left those off the plate I wouldn't be mad. Hopefully it was just a fluke! But my yogurt on a cone for $1 was just as good as its ever been. P.S. don't forget the cinnamon bun rolls either! read more

Originally came here to get the free coffee (w/ your IKEA card) but ended up getting food also. I love coming here because they freshly make the food and it's also very inexpensive! I personally don't like the texture of their meatballs, but my parents love it (maybe it's just me!) I always get the chicken tenders because I'm a kid at heart and you can never go wrong with chicken tenders. Their chocolate cake is also really good, if you want to splurge. read more

IKEA Restaurant - chicken tenders ($5.99) & corn bread ($0.50) - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

Yessss it's true IKEA has become way overpriced but we must admit that the quality of the items have also improved. I particularly love this location because there is always parking and it's next to many other stores. You can't beat IKEAs breakfast deals! We got so many things for under $10. Also, as confusing as IKEA can be, this place seems pretty organized and accesible! Love love this IKEA! read more

IKEA Restaurant - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

Worst service. The servers are angry and slop the food on the plate and shove it at you. I asked for a side order of fries on a separate plate. The server stood there staring at me angrily. I thought she didn't hear me so I asked again. She continued to stand there stating angrily and then said that she heard me. She sloped the food on the plate and shoved it at me. She did not give me the rest of my order and went to the next customer. When I asked for the rest of the order she said she wasn't required to speak to customers. I have no idea what happened here. I am always kind and courteous and smile at everyone I encounter. No idea why this lady was so nasty. Someone else working there came over and gave me the rest of the order. I bring my son here to eat often. The food is great. The service is usually bad. Are the workers treated poorly by management? Why are they so rude? I am not going back to the Hicksville Ikea restaurant any more. read more

I give this place a four for what it is. It's cheap quick service food that is served cafeteria style and it tastes good. Every time I went the dining area was clean and the cashier was friendly although I don't think the service person understood much English. I love getting the Swedish meatballs combo for $5.99 which includes 15 meatballs, a dollop of mashed potatoes, a fountain drink, and a small salad. Me and my girlfriend split this and we are always satisfied. You can also get a free coffee or tea if you are a part of the IKEA family (you can sign up for this if you haven't done so already in the same room). I haven't tried anything else but my friend had the ribs and he said they were OK. I would just stick with the meatballs though. read more

Swedish meatballs!!! 10 meatballs + mashed potato and sauce for $4.99? Take my money oh $1 for 5 extra meatballs? Just take my $$! First stop upon entering ikea was straight for the restaurant, because one needs to be fueled up to shop at ikea! One will be fueled and stuffed without breaking the bank. You must order the iconic Swedish meatballs here, they do offer a vegetarian and chicken version as well. Their fries are pretty good too! Oh and coffee and tea with unlimited refills 75 cents! Now stop reading and go eat already! read more

I don't want to be critical because unlike im guessing most of you who have reviewed, I have been to Sweden and had meatballs over there and there is no comparison. However I am going to do my best to ignore that fact and review them as if I didn't go. The Meatballs themselves were pretty decent I think maybe a bit to saucy and tasted nuked, that being said the lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes were delicious and made me dive in for more. The one factor I was pretty disappointed in is that the carrots they gave me on the side looked as though they were starting to go bad because they were having an off color toward them and tasted a bit funny, so I chose to ignore. Despite that fact, I would say if you want a quick and easy Swedish treat go for it since you most likely do not have too many other Scandinavian Restaurants in your neighborhood. But you also may do better looking up a recipe and making it yourself if you have time, and if you cannot find the ingredients at the supermarket(Lingonberry sauce(trust me there is a key difference over the cranberry)) you can buy it there. read more

More a 3.5 star The food was quite tasty, we had the meat balls and salmon. Place was clean, a buffet. The price was relatively cheap . We also tried their princess cake, it looks like a tennis ball, it was soft but a bit too sweet. Good place to go after checking out their home furnishing products read more

Ok, I finally did it. I got 'em Swedish meatballs! Oh man, you know you're obsessed with food if you go to IKEA just to eat. I'm very guilty of this. The restaurant has a cafeteria feel to it. That includes little kids crying, strollers bumping into your seat, and people not cleaning after themselves. You take a tray and line up to order your food. As for the famous meatballs, you can either choose 10 meatballs served with mashed potatoes, cream sauce and lingonberries for $2.99 or the $5.99 combo with 15 meatballs, mashed potatoes, cream sauce, lingonberries, side salad and fountain drink. I got the combo of course with the lingonberry drink. The small meatballs are obviously not made at the spot but they're delicious with the two sauces and the mashed potatoes (with a hint of garlic) all together. It has a distinctive Thanksgivings taste (think cream sauce = gravy and lingonberry = cranberry). I also got a roll for $1.29 to scope up the extra sauce. I love how it's so cheap. I left the place full AND satisfied. FYI - Sign up for the free membership card. You can get a free frozen yogurt from the bistro. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

Lovvvve everything they sell here & just spending hours there browsing to get ideas. Easy process to find furniture. Even a cool "as is" section downstairs. The lines are crazy on the weekends (especially during the pandemic), but they go pretty fast. The past few months, lots of shelves are empty & lots of things out of stock which sucks after you fall in love with it in the showroom. Also sucks you can't order online. The cafe has yummy frozen yogurt. read more

If I could eat here every day for every meal I would. An unexpected place for quality and inexpensive food, the restaurant at this IKEA is phenomenal. The food is always fresh and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They are not stingy with their food and you can get two salmon dinners with veggies and fries, a soup, cole slaw, and two coffees all for under $20. I recommend signing up to become a member- you get free coffee or tea with each meal that way. My favorites are the salmon lasagna, stuffed chicken, chicken tenders (beyond juicy and the perfect outer crunch), and the French fries holy cow. MY FAVORITE FRIES IN THE WORLD. I usually get honey mustard to dip them in. Or you can dip them in a broccoli cheese soup. Out of this universe. Weekends are usually packed here but I always manage to find a seat. The cafeteria is quite large and they have restrooms nearby. There are also elevators to get to the restaurant area. The lines are often long but they move quickly since you are served lunch-line style. They have fruit and dessert options available and a children's menu as well. I'm salivating just writing this. The food is relatively healthy as well. If you do find yourself at this spot, you MUST try the chocolate pastry covered in coconut flakes. Especially if you are a coffee lover. Wow. Also one of my favorite pastries to date. Most of what is offered in the kitchen is also available frozen for purchase downstairs in the shop area where there is a smaller fast food court for dollar hot dogs, pizza, and yummy frozen yogurt cones. :) read more

I stopped in while taking a break from looking at furniture. I got the veggie meat balls and an elder flower drink. The veggie balls were really tasty, the sauce they came with was also good, but I wasn't crazy about the steamed vegetables they came with. I'm vegan for the animals, not because I want to be healthy. On a similar note, loads of people are vegetarian or vegan for religious reasons, not because they want to be healthy. The prices on food were reasonable, the boxed drinks were pretty expensive at $1 for a small box or roughly $2.50 for a pack of 3 elsewhere in the store. I was also disappointed to see their standard meatballs frozen for sale everywhere in the store but frozen veggie balls no where. I would've bought a pack or two to take home! It wasn't amazing, but it's a nice place to take a break from shopping and get a quick lunch. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Vegan balls! (Made from plants, not vegans) - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

Stopped by after fiancé and I were finished shopping, surprised and delighted to find that they had vegan meatballs! The sweet potato sauce was delicious, and the veggie meatballs were too. It was also our first time trying Elderflower and Linden Berry drinks; we loved it. Price was very reasonable as well; $4.49 for 10 meatballs with veggies, and we like that these vegan ones were actually cheaper than the meats. Would eat here again if we come back for more furniture! read more

IKEA Restaurant - Vegetable Meatballs with Sweet Potato sauce and assorted veggies! Delicious and vegan! - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

The baked salmon meal is my favorite lunch at Ikea...maybe even the mall! The price is so wonderful at $6.99 and comes with some sauce for the fish, a little veg and some delicious potato cakes! I always get my free Ikea member coffee or tea and also buy a fountain drink for the lingonberry juice which disappeared for a while. There are other meals like chicken fingers with fries, meatballs or veggie balls with potatoes and ribs. Also, soup, and deserts...the same frozen deserts you can buy at the downstairs market. . read more

Everyone that goes to Ikea knows to stop by the Ikes restaurant either before or after you do your shopping. My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday. Obviously, weekends are packed. everyone and their moms were up in here shopping. There was a bit of a wait. We were hungry when we got here. I've had Ikea food before and they were good cheap food. I've mentioned the infamous Swedish meatballs to the boyfriend. It's just one of those staples that you must try at least once when you come to Ikea. I ordered the chicken meatballs with a side of green beans and mash with an extra side of mac and chesse. The boyfriend had the regular meatballs with fries and green beans For dessert we had the chocolate mousse cake. Everything was fairly cheap. The bill came out a little over $20 including our drinks. Taking my first bite of the chicken meatballs was just as a I remembered. The taste was consistent. Sides were good The boyfriend liked the regular Swedish meatballs, he thought they were good, just not wow. Don't expect amazingly, good tasting food. When you dine here, come with a low expectation. Food here is more comparable to food from Costco and BJ's food court. They're good, just not wow. It is worth trying them once. Possibly even having them every time you stop by since it's right there. read more

Awesome 4 stars! Love the salmon salad for $5 and short ribs meal w/ mashed potato & beans - $9!! Stuffed chicken w/ artichoke Parmesan $5- dry chicken, not a lot of artichoke Lunch date for 2 people - $20 ! read more

IKEA Restaurant - Specials - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

I cannot recommend the food here because it is no longer healthy . The servers make sure that you get very little vegetables on your plate so they can slather on the lingonberry or the gravy. They no longer serve the healthier chicken meatballs and they give you less meatballs to go with the smaller portions if vegetables so you end up eating way Too many unhealthy things during the rest of the day to make up for the missing vegetables . This may be because when you translate ikea from Swedish to English you get "I don't care about you ". This does not leave you feeling that good about coming Anymore especially when it comes to vegetables , they have become such cheapskates ! read more

Very good food and excellent shopping for your home. Plenty of parking. Everything you need for your home, business, recreation place. You name it IKEA has it. Employees know where everything is not like Home Depot where you ask an employee where something is they always tell you " I'm sorry it's not my department " here at IKEA employees know where everything is even if it's on another floor. I love this place. The employees are so helpful and very nice. 5 stars. read more

Every time we visit IKEA, we go to the restaurant to get our free coffee with the IKEA Family card. Even though I've shopped at Ikea over a billion times, I've tried the food at the IKEA only a couple of times. I rather go elsewhere for real food. The food at IKEA is super processed food. It's always busy at this restaurant which I don't understand. I tried the food a couple of times and I didn't find it that good. I've had their breakfast and lunch meal here before. It reminds me of hospital food or school cafeteria food. I suppose the reason why it's always packed and people are always eating here is because the prices are cheap. My boyfriend for some reason loves the food here. For me, I've skipped it a billion times already. I even hate their hot dogs. It smells funny. I hate the smell of their hot dogs. No thanks. I've tried a few of their desserts at IKEA restaurant. Ugh, no thanks. THere is one thing I like here IKEA's GRÖNSAKSKAKA which is a vegetable medallion that they sell at their frozen section. I seen them serve it in the restaurant too. The GRÖNSAKSKAKA is a side dish that is medallion shaped with broccoli, leek, onions and cheese mixed into a potato mixture. I am lactose intolerant so pills I will need but this is the only thing good at the restaurant. The meatballs everyone likes so much just reminds me of frozen meatballs with gravy covering it. It's just not for me. I don't like the gravy which I believe has some dairy in it. But it's pretty popular. The free coffee is all I come for. Also, I like their kettle potato chips. But for a meal, I rather go elsewhere because the food for the most part, tastes fake. read more

I am a food snob but I do love cafeteria's. I always have and I don't know why. Part of the appeal of Ikea overall is this "cafe" (cafeteria) where you take a tray and stand on line like 5th graders and get weird food for cheap from a lunch lady. After walking for 2 hours ogling the showroom, I am hungry. Is it gourmet? Hell no. Is it good? Yup. Why? I have no idea it just is. The ikea fairy sprinkles ikea dust on everything and it lures you in when you try to walk past the cafe into the marketplace stairway going down without stopping. They have this lichonberry juice which my daughter must have asked me 50 times with her snob face on "what the heck is a lichonberry ??...". to which I replied, "i don't know ...its a berry- it tastes good." I like the weird little Swedish meatballs and i like the french fries. I like gravy on top of it AND the Lichonberry sauce that they serve on the side of the plate. Kind of like sweet cranberry sauce...its yum. This is this only place I know of where you can also get a rack of baby back ribs for a couple of bucks which is crazy to even see there but I ate them once and they were tender and sweet. Not bad at all. There are all kinds of random odds and ends on the way down the line like...mozzarella string cheese...and plates with Lox or little random cakes and things. If you forget to buy something you have to go back on line so don't forget anything. I don't have to tell you to go here..you will be summoned via the nostrils while shopping at ikea, nobody is resistant. Its cost effective no matter what so don't sweat it. Go relax and eat. read more

My first time trying the meatballs! They were just ok. I really loved the cranberry sauce. That was my favorite part of the dish. They broccoli and cheese soup was undercooked. I really enjoyed the experience. My daughter was biased toward my meatballs herself. She loved the mashed potatoes. We had fun. read more

I come to the IKEA Restaurant even when I don't plan on purchasing furniture. This restaurant is always fully stocked with meatballs and mashed potatoes, which is my usual meal of choice. The princess cake is quite tasty, as well! All the food is inexpensive, but you're getting quality product, which isn't an easy combination to find everywhere. If you're looking for some quick bites, check out the food by the registers. $1 froyo?! Sign me up! read more

A visit to IKEA is not complete without a serving of their Swedish meatballs and gravy, and a side of their crispity french fries! They have some other really great menu items and it seems like they change up their menu from time to time.. who doesn't like variety!? Salad bar, desserts, ligonberry drink and free refills... how can you go wrong with that?! I swear there have been times I come to IKEA just to eat, no joke! You should too, highly recommended! =) read more

Affordable food for the masses. They are very very affordable and in great quantities. Therefore, you pay for what you eat!

For how much you pay, you get some pretty good food. My notable favorites are the brocolli medalions, mac & cheese and swedish meatballs. I like to combine the medalions with the mac & cheese - great flavor when eaten all at once. For dessert, I would pass on the princess cake (too sweet!) and get the cinnamon rolls or soft served icecream. Make sure to pair your meal with a glass of lingonberry on the rocks. Be sure to check out the marketplace food section to bring ikea food home. I always stock up on my ginger snap cookies when I'm there. read more

I was a little skeptical coming to eat at the IKEA restaurant but in the end I was pleased. It reminds me of a high school cafeteria except better decorated and tastier food. They have many choices of food and some of the selection changes daily. They also have a special of the day for a very cheap price of 2.99 I have come here twice to eat because my family was buying a kitchen and it was a very long process so we got super hungry. The first time I had vegetable soup and chocolate cake. The soup was hearty with tons of vegetables. Tomato based broth. Overall I enjoyed it. The cake was rich with different layers. My favorite was the crunchy chocolate layer on the bottom. ($2.99) The next time I had the Thursday special of baked chicken with mash potatoes, berry salad, and chicken noodle soup. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was falling off the bone. The mash potatoes were creamy. The berry salad looked very beautiful. It had strawberries, blueberries, and many more fruits that I am currently drawing a mind blank on. The chicken noodle soup tasted like grandma's and would have been perfect on a nice cold winter day instead of the 90 degree summer day I decided to enjoy it. Oh and I enjoyed the lingonberry juice. It is cheap and quick. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Vegetable soup, chocolate cake - Scandinavian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

If this is authentic Scandinavian cuisine, then I am the living Oscar Meyer weiner. Aside from the Swedish meatballs (really, what makes them Swedish?) and the boxed lingonberry drink, this is more of a standard cafeteria that just happens to showcase some IKEA furniture, décor, flatware, and plates. My fiancé and I came here this past Friday at around lunchtime to find nourishment for the impending furniture-buying marathon and still found plenty of seats. Getting food here felt reminiscent of my high school cafeteria - pick up your tray and follow the line to the servers, who will plate up your entree and sides. Two chilled bars bookend the line - one side serves wrapped salad plates and the other had desserts, bread rolls, and salad. My fiancé got the pasta and a side of mac and cheese, both of which he promptly proclaimed lackluster after digging in. The pasta - if you could deign to call it that - was a small bowl of preboiled ziti noodles with a small dollop of red sauce. The mac and cheese was slightly better, with more promising sauce coverage and creaminess, but a borrowed bite reminded me of my days eating public school mac and cheese (which, in its defense, some may like) - irreverent of any true melted cheese flavor, suspiciously whitish, and chalky aftertaste. Still, he ordered both off of the menu of sides, and it made for a cheap (albeit mediocre) lunch. I was happy to see IKEA recognizing the non-meateaters in their midst with thee addition of GRÖNSAKSBULLAR to their menu - or, if your tongue is like mine and can't contort to pronounce so many consecutive consonants, the vegan veggie balls. The entree comes with seven or eight meatball-shaped veggie balls covered with a cauliflower and sweet potato sauce, with a medley of cooked carrots and broccoli on the side. Though I always give huge, grateful props to any restaurant for providing meatless alternatives for folks like me, I found these to be a solid so-so. The veggie ball itself is inoffensive - a roughly rolled conglomerate of chickpeas, green peas, carrot, corn, kale and red pepper (though I've been told that the recipe changes to incorporate seasonal produce), it is definitely light and healthy tasting, but I cannot imagine for the life of me why they would pair it with such a sweet sauce, which was a strange partner for the more savory veggie ball. The veggies on the side were decent - the broccoli stalks were cooked to within an inch of its life but I was happily surprised to see what looked like slices of diversely colored heirloom carrots. Believe it or not, our shopfest at IKEA proper for our furniture took FOUR HOURS (mainly because the showroom begs for a good dose of pointless meandering), which burned up enough calories to rejuvenate our appetite so we actually came back to the restaurant for dinner. I ordered the same veggie balls to see if maybe I'd like them better the second time around (I didn't), but the fiancé ordered the salmon dish this time around, which came with a piece of fish, cooked veggies, and two vegetable medallions. Though the salmon and veggies were just all right (seems to be a theme here), we both loved the veggie medallions, which looked and tasted like a thick potato latke with broccoli added to it. While our food clearly wasn't cream of the crop, it was nice to have a place to eat so close by for a fair price. Speaking of prices, if you're really looking for value fare, you can't get any better than their $1 breakfasts - scrambled eggs, sausages, and chunky hash browns. read more

Stopped here for breakfast, and then dinner the next day when wrapping up holiday shopping with my husband. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food at both meals, as well as the portion sizes for the low price. I had the Swedish breakfast - scrambled eggs, Swedish pancakes with jam, turkey sausage and home fries. Together with a chocolate milk, it was under $6.00 and quite tasty! The potatoes were the best part, with the pancakes a close second (they had a kind of chewy texture that I really enjoyed). For dinner, we split the chicken fingers and fries (crispy, hot, and tasty!), my husband had a chicken sandwich (fresh and good) and I had the Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy (mashed potatoes were great, meatballs are meatballs, gravy was wonderful) and two fountain sodas. $20.00 total for three meals. YES. It sounds ridiculous to say that Ikea's version of cafeteria food is that good, and though everything but the chicken fingers were on the cold side, we had a much more pleasant shopping experience with full, satisfied bellies! We'll be back the next time we venture to Ikea. read more

I enjoy this place in that cheesy sizzler sort of way. Why? Well, I enjoy how you can feed a family for less than $20, so the value is there. Not to mention to food isn't bad either. Many will talk about the meatballs which in a platter is accompanied by mashed potatoes & gravy, + soup or salad. However, I really enjoy the ribs. They are not the meatiest, but the sauce has a good old fashioned BBQ taste & for $6 with a side of fries & cornbread, it will satisfy a rib craving on any given night. Really enjoy the fries. I wonder how franchises such as bk & Wendy's keep trying to reinvent their fries only to give you a mediocre experience when ikea, whose primary purpose is to sell furniture can give you such tasty, crispy ones? Mac & cheese with veggies is good for the kiddies or even their chicken fingers, which are nicely breaded without overloading the salt. Haven't been daring enough to get the roasted chicken, but from trying someone else's, the chicken isn't dry & it has a nice well seasoned flavor to the outside. All the above mentioned & throw in all you could drink Arnold Palmers & count me in anytime for dinner/lunch at ikea. Just a few side notes: leave room for dessert, particularly the $1 froyo in the marketplace... & don't overlook breakfast - you can get a platter for $2! read more
