    IKEA is a great place for shopping. It offers a wide selection and affordable prices. You can spend hours and hours there without even realizing it. That's why the IKEA restaurant is essential. Whether you're hungry and need a full meal or just looking for dessert, you can find everything at the IKEA restaurant. The food is truly excellent -- everything is tasty and prepared quickly. During our last visit, we weren't hungry, but we needed a little boost in the form of something sweet, so we got some desserts, and I can tell you they were great. We love stopping by this place to take a break from long walks through IKEA.

    My kids love IKEA meatballs but we rarely sit down and order them in the cafe. I ordered 3 of the Swedish meatball combo with drink and was underwhelmed. For ~$40 for all 3 meals, I was expecting a more heartier serving that wouldn't leave us still hungry. Otherwise my impression is that service is quick and the cafe is clean. I'll probably stick to buying the frozen bagged meatballs to go.

    Overpriced! This plate was around $10. Personally I found it was a bland meal. I think it would be worth it if it cost less.

    I love Ikea! They are always nice and friendly and their meatballs are the best. The restaurant is always clean and looks very welcoming. March 14 was $5 "ball" buffet for March Madness, and I recommend you keep your eyes open for events like these. The value is outstanding here and the quality is always great!

    When in need of a quick cost effective meal while shopping, the IKEA restaurant is the place to go. Although prices have sky rocketed in the past few years, the flavors and food is still the same. I can always count of them for satisfying my craving if Swedish meatballs. The restaurant is located in the center of the top floor and to order you just go up to the kiosk and order as you please. Once you're done ordering you'll get a ticket with a number and it will be called out for you to grab from the counter. I do miss the people aspect of ordering and walking around but I totally understand the chance. Also note that the extra meatballs were $4 for 4 meatballs! I'll definitely be back to fulfill a craving or grab a bite to eat while shopping again. :)

    Many people know about Ikea and their meatballs at this point right? This location has a very open area seating with ordering kiosks, making it easy to line up and eat. The kitchen is wide open too so you can see your food be prepared. In terms of service, they call your number up when it's ready. But also, the ordering screen will have your number on there so you'll know when it's ready for you. The most helpful thing is that they also have tray carts so if only one of you are waiting for food while the other secures a table, you can grab everything. Now - in terms of food: My partner and I ordered the Swedish meatball meal, she ordered the plant meatballs, the marinated salmon baguette, the 99 cent cake slice, and the $2 chocolate cake too. Including two bottles of water it cost us under $30 for both, so it's pretty affordable. The meatball meal was really good! There was an option to keep/not keep the lingonberries on the plate. Personally I wasn't a fan but my partner liked it so it's by preference at that point. The meatball and gravy like sauce with the mashed potatoes were great though! The peas were a good touch. Definitely recommend it. The salmon baguette, as a warning to folx that don't eat sushi, does come with a mostly raw salmon. I liked it, it wasn't anything amazing, but decent. I don't think the baguette worked well with the salmon but not bad. We split the baguette though which is good because I don't think I would be a fan of eating the whole thing. The cakes were good though! The 99 cent one gave a brownie cake vibe so if you want a legit cake I would go with the $2 one. That chocolate cake was really good! Overall 4/5 rating of the restaurant. Great place for a break after shopping but I don't think you'd come to IKEA specifically for the restaurant.

    @thehealthinspector8 Food was delicious and healthy. Clean dining area and courteous staff. Highly recommend.

    Their desserts here are still SOOO good and they recently switched up the ordering process here to kiosks only. Very quick! The downside for me was that the meatballs were gristly and not as good as in years past.

    The seating area is mostly clean and very spacious with a lot of room and I really love the little coloring area for small children. That being said I am still mad at IKEA for taking chicken meatballs off their menu as it was the best thing they had. Also the kiosks were beyond frustrating and everyone using them at the time I was there had people having to come over and help them. I miss the days of being able to walk up to the food, see what was fresh, and order. They're fast at serving you, but I dunno I prefer the old way. The chocolate cake is still amazing though.

    Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. Arrived early, about 11:30 and there were not a lot of people at the restaurant. The restaurant itself is on the 3rd floor of the IKEA store. Enter in the main entrance and go up two escalators or take the elevator. There's also a bistro on the first floor that has similar offerings. You place your order and pay at a kiosk, get your receipt with order number, and wait for your number to be called. I was looking for a light lunch and went for the "Kids" Swedish meatballs dinner. It comes with 4 meatballs, broccoli, garlic mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce. On the receipt, it's listed as "small" size. The meatballs are decent, the mashed potatoes full of flavor, and the Lingonberry sauce was somewhat generous and delicious. The smaller portion was surprisingly filling enough for lunch. You can save yourself a trip to the 3rd floor by going to the Bistro in the first floor.

If u don't want sweet, do 1 pump. The topping and foam adds some sweetness. Small/regular size was a perfect amount. I paid about $20 for 4 pastries and a regular drink. The inside was spacious but only seating along the opposite wall. Bathroom is clean.

    Very disappointing experience at Tous Les Jours today…read more The service was extremely rude. The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated. What made it worse was how both the cashier and the owner spoke to me. They raised their voices instead of helping. There was a promotion for 3 bakery items for $5. I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.

After we were seated, the staff quickly gave us water as we looked over the menu. I was not in the mood for a fancy breakfast so I went traditional, Two Eggs over medium, veggie patties (homemade), hash browns and pancakes with decaffeinated coffee with honey. The food came in a nice time, not too long and not too quick- enough to have a nice conversation while waiting. When the food came, everything was cooked to perfection. The eggs over medium, the hash browns were cooked and had that bit of crunch from the skillet. Pancakes were a nice size. And the veggie patties were tasty! The coffee with just honey hit the spot. It appears everyone else really liked their food as it was pretty quiet. Lol. I enjoy this place especially bringing family and friends from out of town. Good times and great memories.

Management seems more concerned with holding a door open instead of listening to their own employees as they leave this location one right after another. The district manager appears to be clueless. While corporate executives often point to macroeconomic headwinds or shifting consumer spending to explain falling stock price numbers, the internal reality is that operational efficiency is eroding. When a company prioritizes short-term labor cost cuts over employee retention, it creates an illusion of profitability that eventually shatters. The high cost of constant turnover - including recruitment, onboarding, and the hidden cost of lost sales from slow service - directly eats into margins. Investors recognize that a restaurant concept cannot expand successfully if its core units are bleeding their best workers due to poor frontline leadership. The Takeaway: First Watch cannot fix its stock price until it fixes its floors. If corporate leadership wants to restore investor confidence and stabilize $FWRG, they must reinvest in their people and remembering that the guest experience is entirely dependent on the employee experience.
