The best part of coming to ikea is the Swedish meatballs! They are fantastic! Comes with delicious lingonberry sauce (which they sell downstairs) and mashed potatoes which are typical boxed mashed but still make the plate. The restaurant is always clean and there is always a staff member cleaning. Today there were two. They had some kind of event so they were very busy. The best thing about the food that I learned today was that if you are an IKEA FAMILY member you get 40% off meals at the restaurant! I was so excited to find out! I'm glad that the cashier told me to make sure I logged in and scanned because I would never have known! Enjoy! read more

Ikea @ikeausa Sunrise, FL I'm all for trying something new! Beautiful store with great service. Pulled up to Ikea's Swedish Restaurant for a new experience. I got the plant balls with mashed potatoes, peas, chocolate cake and Langlur. The plant balls, cake, and Langlur was decent. Wasn't a huge fans of the peas and mashed potatoes. But I had fun shopping after! Have you been to Ikea's Swedish Restaurant before? #Ikea #IkeaSwedishRestaurant #Sunrise #Swedish #PlantBalls #Langlur #NewExperiences #LetsDrinkz #EatzWithSweetz #LetsEatz read more

IKEA Restaurant - Scandinavian Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

The only place in Florida where you can summon salmon and meatballs with an Allen wrench is IKEA Sunrise. Forget the flat packs for a minute -- the real magic at IKEA Sunrise is upstairs in the restaurant. Yes, a furniture store that doubles as a cafeteria, and somehow it's fantastic. Where else can you shop for a couch and then sit down to a plate of Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce that taste like a hug from Scandinavia? Or grab a surprisingly good piece of salmon, roasted and fresh, in a place surrounded by lamps named things like FÄRGLAV and HJÄRTERÖ? Honestly, ordering food here feels like part of the ritual -- like if you say the names of the dishes out loud, you're summoning comfort food straight from Valhalla. The restaurant is big, bright, and cheap in the best way possible. You get hearty portions, a wide variety (meatballs, chicken, salmon, veggie options, soups, and even desserts like their famous DAIM cake), and you walk away full without emptying your wallet. Grab a cup of lingonberry soda or coffee, sit by the big windows, and watch other shoppers try to balance five flat-pack boxes on one cart while you smugly enjoy your plate of carbs. Service is basic. Just grab a tray and use Apple pay. The bakery section at the end is the unsung hero -- cinnamon rolls, cookies, and little Swedish snacks to take home. They're basically souvenirs that don't gather dust. IKEA Sunrise isn't just about furniture -- the restaurant is one of the best-kept secrets in South Florida. It's comfort food with a side of Scandinavian magic. Come for the furniture, stay for the meatballs, and leave with a full belly, a cake in a box, and the sneaking suspicion you just dined in a Swedish fever dream. read more

CRAZY IKEA FOOD DEAL... Love this Ikea and come here twice a week for their legendary carton of cinnamon buns for $8.00, but I just found even a better food deal upstairs. I knew there was a restaurant here upstairs that people chat about but thought it was merely a cheap Swedish cafeteria. Well, im here today to tell you I was Wrong, completely. Full service breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes, Swedish pancakes, croissants, cinnamon or blueberry scone, Swedish meatballs and corn bread. The cashier, David, kindly explained the Saturday Big Breakfast Deal from 10a - 11a. **Scrambled Eggs, Potatoes and Bacon $1.25 with FREE COFFEE** Easy to QR code to download the Ikea Family Membership card - lock it in to enjoy the perks. Now I get why its so busy here. I assume they hope you buy a full bedroom set after you eat breakfast. They also offer a lunch menu with chicken wraps, salads, soft drinks and cake. Oh, and dont forget the daily hot self serve unlimited coffee for $1.50. read more

Can't say I was even remotely full after this meal but thanks, IKEA for thinking of the vegans lol I did get a veggie dog and the cinnamon rolls on the way out of the store, which I was surprised that the fresh baked cinnamon rolls are 'accidentally' vegan! I like how the nutritional information is available for each item and the prices are pretty reasonable but even as a small woman, I needed more to eat. My son was r hungry so I just got some cookies and pop for him. My mom got the Cod dish that comes with your choice of two sides and also said the same thing after eating, that she definitely was not full. The food is fairly healthy so at least there's that. The lunch-line concept is also different and it makes ordering pretty quick. I did feel pretty rushed, but at least I didn't have much to choose from. read more

Imagine if every shop served coffee and cake. What a beautiful day it would be to run errands. Plus IKEA gives free coffee with their free IKEA Family card. They also have special sales and party nights where they celebrate Swedish festivals in the restaurant. And I can always get salmon there. I need to visit Sweden. read more

Cheap and convenient. You can't really complain for what you get at $1.99. Highly recommend if you are there buying furniture as well.

Everything has changed from Covid. Not just IKEA but everybody. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my Swedish meatballs.

The food service is filthy. This place has gone from Bad to worse in the past couple of years. The supervisors at the cashiers are extremely rude, disrespectful and inexperienced. I was there with my wife 8 months pregnant and there was no place for her to sit. We needed to print out a simple form for purchase and they send us away telling us that their management does not allow them to do anything for their customers anymore. The products are mainly made in China now. You get way better quality and prices at your local rooms to go and bed bath and beyond. Very sad that this store turned out this once thriving store turned out to be a customer service nightmare. read more

The restaurant in Ikea has gone down a lot in the past few years. It is cafeteria style which I like, but lately the food has tasted like cafeteria food. It's saving grace is the coffee is exceptional in my opinion. And their breakfast is decent. On Tuesday morning they had a breakfast special for $0.99. Not sure if they still have it. Also, if you have a membership with Ikea, you can get a free coffee on your visit. read more

Food is fresh and delicious. Reasonably priced. Comfortable environment. Running a special for the summer - Tuesday, any hot entrees $3.99

Tip #1: with the orange family card, all coffee is free all the time. Tip#2: sign up with your birthdate and they send you an email on your birthday for a free meatball meal & a coupon for $15 off your next in store purchase. Review: breakfast is a great deal. Under $1 for basic scrambled eggs, potatoes and 2 sausage links. Also free coffee and tea during breakfast. The bistro opens before the regular store hours. The staff is friendly and they have more that just the basic breakfast. They have lox and bagels, croissants and swedish pancakes. The lingonberry is authentic to the Swedish diet and it is a nice and quiet meal most of the time. There is a kids dining/play area with a video cartoon to keep kids entertained and there are all the kid dining accessories to heat bottles and keep kids at the table. Plenty of out of towners visit as a tourist destination...(not sure why) but they are very family friendly. read more

I have been told never to go shopping on an empty stomach. Since we do not have an IKEA near us in NY we decided to drive to this one in Florida. Ok not entirely true as this is the closest one to my in-laws in Plantation. I had dental surgery recently so I stuck with the meatballs and the potato broccoli. The potato broccoli was surprisingly good. The meatballs were as expected. Now that the stomachs are full let the shopping begin. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Meatballs and broccoli potato cakes - Scandinavian Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

I guess the Yelp marketing worked! We must have had IKEA on our minds after the BPB Yelp games! Today we were deciding between our usual array of diners for brunch and my 10 year old junior Yelper exclaimed, "Why not go to IKEA?" Always up for a change of pace, we agreed. The only challenge about IKEA, especially on a weekend, can be parking, but luckily we we able to grab a spot close to the entrance. At just past noon, the cafeteria was busy, but not packed. My husband and I shared a smoked salmon plate for an appetizer. It had some shaved veggies and dressing on top which complemented the salmon really well. For less than $5.00, this's was a bargain. I guess everything at IKEA Restaurant is pretty cheap though! All four of us went for Swedish Meatballs. For $7.99 you can get them with a side, a drink, and a soup or salad. The meatballs are good. They do taste a little like the frozen meatballs I buy for my kids at Costco, but the sauce elevates them a bit. For my side I had veggies. Again, they tasted frozen. The rest of my family got either mashed potatoes or mac & cheese, which they liked. The soup of the day was Carrot Ginger. I did not like this soup at all. It tasted like hot puréed carrots without anything else added...not for me. I tasted the cornbread which was soft, sweet, moist, and delicious. There is not a huge variety but there are other cold items offered, as well as other hot meals such as ribs and chicken tenders. IKEA Restaurant is a great place to stop for sustenance if one is shopping at IKEA. I don't know if we will return on a regular basis when we are not shopping, but I can see coming back once in a blue moon when we tire of our regular diner routine and want a fast, reasonable meal. read more

Let me just say, the idea of having a full-scale restaurant in your department store is pure genius (take note Target). The fact that the food is actually good makes it even better. Doesn't shopping make you hungry? well fortunately IKEA hooks you up with some good food on the cheap. You need to eat because you know you'll be spending a good 4 hours walking around the maze that is IKEA anyway. This place has everything (and I'm talking about the cafeteria). The Swedish meatballs are a staple. For $6.99 you get them with a side of mashed potatoes, salad and a drink. Personally, my favorite is the chicken fingers, I know, I know. but they are delicious. The fries are pretty great too. Also, big shout out to whoever makes the garlic bread because it's always on point. For those lighter eaters (not me), they have various salads and wraps to choose from too. There is also a kids menu and breakfast menu when available. It's also pretty genius when you sit to eat that you're sitting on IKEA furniture. Clever guys, clever. The American in me wishes the drink glasses were larger. The American in me also loves that the ranch dressing is self pumping so I can load up as much as I want on America's favorite dressing. The prices are uber cheap, unless you are me and order one of everything. They even have ribs. RIBS. You can buy ribs you guys and they look amazing! You will never go home hungry at IKEA. If you do then there is seriously something wrong. And if you ever go there on a weekend look for me and Lena C gnawing on some meatballs and mac & cheese. We'll be there. Promise. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Cannot stop eating. - Scandinavian Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Love to eat at IKEA, for what it is a gem. The Swedish meatballs are always great now different quantities available. The new vegetable balls are very tasty. They always have smoked salmon plates and salads. Very generous chicken tenders for the kids or for you. Nice choice of sides with all plates. Very simple offerings but always fresh and tasty. Parking never a problem. read more

IKEA has the BEST chicken tenders ever!!! They are so lightly breaded and the chicken meat is juicy and delicious. The food in general is always delicious and they have great prices. I don't think anything costs more than $7. The restaurant is probably my favorite part about coming to IKEA. I also love that they have chicken meatballs now because I don't eat pork so I can't have their regular meatballs. read more

I love love love this place so much. I enjoy bringing my toddler here to get him EXHAUSTED. I not only do some shopping but he knocks out by 8pm when I bring him by. PRO TIP: Don't leave your kid in the front and bring a stroller for when he gets tired. read more

Ok it's Ikea, and yea they have those infamous meatballs....but i'm not a fan. They have several options on this heavily all things salmon oriented menu but today i had a really good veggie wrap, an above average tomato and feta soup. Highlight was the chocolate cake...I'm talking as good or better than Cheesecake Factory chocolate cake. Yep, just reviewed an Ikea food court, read more

IKEA Restaurant - Scandinavian Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Swedish Meatballs with vegetables, salmon salad and a drink for under $13 is quite the bargain! Standing in a line to order with my tray in hand reminded me a little of being back in high school. Once I finished lunch I placed my tray in the rack only a few steps away and proceeded to shop. Lunch was decent and so were all of the ingredients. I hadn't eaten since the race in Fort Meyers so I was particularly hungry. Coming to IKEA has been a memory from when my parents were shopping for furniture as a child and 40 years later the experience is unchanged. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Swedish Meatballs and Salmon Salad Yum - Scandinavian Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

I honestly think having a restaurant in IKEA is genius on their end. While it may feel like a high school cafeteria, it's actually a decent option to grab a bite while spending the entire day getting inspired, choosing furniture and walking from room to room jealous you don't have the design vision to make your living room so nice. I've had the meatballs (good, although I've read the stories of what was once in them) which come with mashed potatoes and a sweet berry sauce. While it isn't the most amazing thing I have ever tasted, it's decent. and CHEAP! Yea, super cheap! In true IKEA fashion they have saved on as many things as they could and pass the savings along to their customers. Wouldn't go out of my way for it, but while there, grab a bite. read more

I love IKEA Restaurant. I can't help it. It's the only restaurant around in which I can connect with my Swedish roots, hence I admit my bias. I grew up on the types of food they served here so every time I eat here, it's a culinary connection with my heritage and my past. But even if I weren't biased toward Swedish rather than Italian, Dutch or any other meatball and even if I didn't prefer ligonberry or proclaim it superior to the native of America cranberry, I can objectively assert that there isn't another place anywhere around where you can get as good a deal on meal than here. Like where else could you get a full good quality meal the equal of meatballs with crème sauce, potatoes and ligonberry along with a soda for $7.00? Face it, no way, you can't read more

I went to Ikea for their 4th of July sale. When we arrived one of the employes by the door hand me a coupon and said that if we spend more than 100 dollars today everybody who was with me would eat for free so it was on! I knew I was gonna spend more than 100 buck regardless lol. The deal was this you go and eat and the cashier will give your a recipe and a coupon with the total amount of your meal and it would deducted from your shopping bill at check out done. I have been here before, and I really like their ribs they are very well cooked and little bit heavy on the bbq sauce, but nothing that could really bother me. I ordered mac n cheese and corn bread, my mom got the same but with fries on the side. My wife and sister got the Swedish meatballs, I guess they are famous for them not a bad deal they come with a dressing on top that takes away that meaty flavor one of the order mash potatoes and the other one mac and cheese with corn bread. I got the overload chocolate cake for dessert and let me tell you something I will go back just for the cake it was pretty good. We also ordered the Tres Leches but it wasn't good at all very dry and tasteless. Basically the way this place operates is kinda like high school cafeteria you make a line pic your good and then walk to the cashier and pay. There are no waitress or waiters, is all serve yourself which allows them to be more economic (at least thats what they claim). For four of us I spend $40.06 which is not so bad specially when they took that out of my regular bill. The place is very clean and organized. Definitely if I'm there I would eat again, maybe next time I'll try their wraps or something like that. read more

Classic ikea restaurant, cheap, low quality. Unless you go for the well known Swedish meatballs, most of the rest is more for convenience rather than for the culinary experience of the century. Overall, very average, only go there if you are tired and hungry after getting lost in the main store. read more

I went here for lunch for the first time and was very disappointed. Everyone keeps telling me how their Swedish meatballs are amazing so I decided to finally try them out. They were chewy and tasted like frozen microwaved meatballs. The gravy was bland as well. The mixed vegetables were close to dehydrated. The entire meal made me feel sick afterwards. My mom got the salmon and it has a strong fish smell/taste. Plane steamed/microwaved salmon. She didn't even finish it. I would definitely not recommend it. The restaurant looked clean and polished but the food was horrible read more

Every time I shop at IKEA, I always come for their food. Chicken Tenders are best around, Seasoned Fries are crispy and tasty, Ribs are tender but not that juicy, Smoked Salmon is nothing special, and Meatballs are the BEST and not greasy. I buy a bag a month and it's great in everything, even in Chinese cooking! read more

The food at Ikea isn't the best, but it's definitely not the worst either, given the price. The Swedish meatballs are good for the price and they do give a decent amount. The macaroni and cheese... Oh mah gah... is good. The salmon lasagna is very...earthy tasting. If your taste buds are green, you'll love that dish. The restaurant doesn't have any straws... Which I thought was bizarre. I have sensitive teeth so I was in pain every time I took a sip of my drink! read more

For what they offer and the price, it's a great little lunch cafe. They offer breakfast and lunch. For breakfast for 2$ you got Swedish pankacks with lingon berry jam, eggs, 2 sausage links and breakfast potatos. McDonald's can't even offer you that for $2. I had the smoked salmon wrap and yogurt parfait. I split it with my mum and it was more than enough. For lunch today we got the Swedish meatball plate. It came with 2 sides. I went with the mash and veggies and my husband went with the mash and fries. I love their meatballs. I always grab a bag to bring home as well. The portion size is perfect and their fries are surprisingly flavorful and crunchy. Their fries are better then a lot of chain resturants. Oh and you can't beat the $1 unlimited coffee. You can choose latte, cuban, moccahino, espresso and others. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Meatball Plate - Scandinavian Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

There's just something special about starting off, splitting up or winding up a four hour shopping venture, with yummy cafeteria style grub for the low low. What that something is for me, is Swedish Meetballs, Mashed potatoes and gravy and (of course) extra Lingon Berry Jam! There's lots of other yummy treats, from salads, fish garlic bread & soups. The Butternut Squash soup is pretty great. Definitely make sure to get a tray holder to push your tray around so you don't have to do the high-school-lunch-walk. The seating area is decorated in, you guessed it, Ikea decor! I am never shocked to see just how many people pack this little resto daily. It's quite brilliant, to create a giant, amazing store that everyone spends hours in, then serve up your own tasty treats in a restaurant built-in to said giant store. The Swiss are great and so is this little restaurant. read more

When you come to IKEA you have to take a break -or fuel up before shopping!! My husband and kids love the meatballs - Mac and cheese - and this time we tried a broccoli - potato cake- I forgot the name but it was really yummy!! I like the cold salmon with dill sauce and side salad - I love the pop of lemon across it all!!! If you are a friends and family member ( whatever they call their club card) coffee is FREE!! And the best part is the price!!! Can't beat 3 meals for $20 Since we don't have an IKEA less then 3 hours from us at home - whenever we come to South Florida this is one of our must stop places!! read more

Pretty decent food considering this is located inside a furniture store. Sure it's a glorified cafeteria, but man, this place gets packed. Just order the sweedish meatballs and all will be fine. Then try the incredible cinnamon bun on the first floor as they are awesome and only $1. read more

Best deal around! Parking: Use the garage Exterior: Look for the blue and yellow... this is hard to miss! On entry: Head up the escalator, turn right, then right again, walk straight to the cafeteria line... just like elementary school without the lunch-time monitor. Beverages: Coffee, tea and soda, all at the fountains...oh my Food: Salmon and salmon and probably more salmon but there are meatballs and chicken too. Sides include veggies, potatoes and if you're lucky, there will be broccoli cakes. Yummy Service: I didn't get his name (I'll call him Sven) was fantastic! He had a great sense of humor and on this quiet weeknight, he was going to be sure we had exactly what we wanted. To top it off, he told us how to save more on the already ridiculously low prices. Cleanliness: As a general rule, the tables are wiped and tray removed regularly. I've NEVER had a sense of this being dirty on my many visits. Atmosphere: I don't go for the atmosphere but you can have a lovely view of the garage and highway beyond from the windows. Departure: Be courteous and drop your tray at the designated area. WIGB: Yes if I'm in IKEA. This is a quick, easy, very reasonably priced choice for some pretty good, cafeteria style food. read more

I have dined at the Tampa & Dolphin Mall Miami Ikea restaurants before and was always very pleased by the food quality and selections available. My first Sunrise Ikea restaurant experience wasn't as good. Maybe it was because it was a weekday night? Half of the food bins were clean but empty. Some food looked like it had been there a while. For the first time ever I ordered the swedish meatball dinner which looked better on the overhead picture than what ended up on my plate. I ordered the extra portion of meatballs (8 or 12 meatball serving sizes are available). It came with mashed potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce, It was fresh and delicious. The cheesecake was good too. The service was excellent and they seemed to be making some food on the spot... Perhaps I shall return in the future on a weekend and find the place packed... You never know... read more

The food here is surprisingly decent. For those of you that haven't been, it is set up cafeteria style where you graba tray and walk down the line adding items to your tray from the refrigerated cases or having them serve it to you from the hot bar. The most popular dish here would be the Swedish Meatball Combo. There are plenty of other items to try, most of them being Scandinavian or at least Scandinavianish (a word created solely for this post). Desserts are tasty here and it's the only place I know of where you can get Lingdonberry flavored soda. There are several different food deals they have going on each day here, and all of the food here is very affordable. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Swedish Meatball Combo and a side Pototo Au Gratin Spinach Cake. - Scandinavian Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Ikea is in my blood. Perhaps it is because that my mom is Finnish (born and raised) and my father, though born and bred in Utah, came from Swedish parentage. So I sort of have a lock on the whole Scandinavian thing. I also subsisted on Ikea furniture and knicknacks throughout my 20's, and I will admit, still have a bookshelf or cutting board or three from the same origins. Having a Scandinavian mother, I grew up with weird fish paste, herring, interesting cheeses, näkkileipä (that hard crisp rye bread sort of like a large cracker), smoked salmon, fish eggs, shellfish and lots of root vegetables. Oh and lots of black licorice (love the stuff). I spent summers in Finland and Sweden where we were treated to grilled summer sausage served with this mild but spicy mustard I haven't been able to find outside of Europe, Lingonberry and Elderflower punch (sort of like an European version of koolaid), and these delicious cinnamon rolls with the most awesome sugar on top (exactly like the big granules of salt you find on those soft pretzels but they are pearl sugar). Of course during my childhood all I wanted was to have "normal" pb&j in my lunchbox like every other kid, and now all I want to eat is the "weird" stuff my mom raised us on. Thank God for Ikea. While the store itself is useful for a lot of other things I plan my life around food, so I go to this Ikea. Not all Ikeas have a cafe. They actually have a small food shop on the first floor that sells some of their food items (fish paste, frozen meatballs, coffee, crispbread, cookies, smoked salmon, candies) and the also have a cafe on the second floor. The first floor area sells hot dogs, cinnamon rolls and coffee to go. The cafe is literally a cafeteria where you wait in line with a tray to order from a handful of menu items. While they serve ribs and chicken nuggets (?) they also serve a meatball plate with mashed potatoes and a simple side salad. A bonus, their soda machine dishes out lingonberry punch alongside the sprite and coke. I settle in, take in the modern and stark design (the children's section is adjacent to the cafeteria so you see a lot of interesting little things), take a bite of that delicious first meatball with gravy, top it off with a bit of lingonberry jam and I'm 10 years old again. You clear your own tray (simply move it to the dirty tray area) and are on your way. Easy and simple, much like Ikea itself. After waking up from my reverie, I go downstairs and am grateful that I am no longer 10 but I am a 30-something adult with a credit card, stock up on my coffee, fish paste, black licorice, salmon, the aforementioned "Swedish Mustard" and am on my way. They also sell frozen crayfish which I've been tempted to buy but haven't yet... One sad note, they do not sell the "Kalles Kaviar" any longer. This was the fish paste that was really trout roe, great on crackers with cucumber. I guess maybe the palate of South Florida didn't quite like it, but they do sell crab paste in the same sort of tubes, and smoked salmon paste as well. read more
