I found this store to be a little dirtier, more crowded, and a bit chaotic in some areas, like near the restaurant. The food selection in the grocery area seemed more limited, and the vegetarian options I was looking forward to purchasing were out of stock. There was some confusion for me regarding the signs near the restaurant promoting their plant-based hot dog. I went to one of the kiosks to order, but we couldn't find it anywhere. It turns out that you can only order these at the small food court after the checkout area.

If you are part of the IKEA family, make sure to input your information for a free coffee or tea. My boyfriend and I ordered the 8 piece meatballs, adult Mac & cheese, and a cup of fruit. I liked the meatball sauce and the lingonberry. This was the perfect amount for a small meal. Although, it's on the pricier end for the quantity received.

I now see that the IKEA Restaurant and the IKEA store are two separate identities so I will…read moreseparate my thoughts before I type. I have had two recent experiences with the IKEA Restaurant--one not so good and one okay. Two weekends ago, my teenaged daughter had a taste for IKEA meatballs after playing at the nearby arcade so we went over, but the restaurant was jam packed, the kiosks were not being shared in a timely manner, and the restaurant was out of everything, including the meatballs that she wanted. We ended up at a nearby chicken restaurant instead. I usually ask her to be ready to go at the store's opening so this was a new experience for me and I am honestly not sure if that is the norm for a weekend afternoon. Last weekend, I went by myself for an economical breakfast before hammering out errands and to see if the the market area had the frozen food my daughter was looking for. I ordered the medium breakfast which includes their pancakes with lingonberry jam, eggs, and bacon. I also ordered a side of the Swedish meatballs because it simply feels weird to eat at IKEA without eating a meatball. I also ordered a fountain drink because the lingonberry is delicious and feels healthy, a free coffee because I am an IKEA family member, and a slice of the mascarpone berry cake because I am an adult with free will and sometimes I need to do something out of the box so I don't feel suffocated by my usual routines, haha. The pancakes and jam were as delicious as I remembered. The eggs reminded me of the ones you get in a free hotel breakfast and needed ketchup for me to eat them for protein. The bacon wasn't as crispy as I would have liked, but the taste was there. The meatballs were on point. I was disappointed because the fountain drink machine dispensed exactly one cup of lingonberry juice before it stopped working. I enjoy fountain drinks because I can drink a lot of liquid--good thing I don't imbibe, haha. The coffee was surprisingly delicious and didn't even need a type of milk, which is good, because my non-dairy self didn't see any options available. I just added a little bit of sugar and sipped it with my coffee. The cake was not as good as I remember, it felt dry and basically disintegrated into a small plate of crumbs I wasn't quite sure how to eat in public. The tables are usually clean despite it being self-service and they have most everything you would need--silverware, honey mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, etc. TL;DR--I would eat here if my daughter asked me for the meatballs, otherwise I would personally choose somewhere else.

Delivery for 3 miles costs $200, they rip people off to the bone. I want to cry because $3000 for a sofa is not enough! I do not recommend to anyone! in this store, they think only to sell, not to make people happy..... I will never go to this store again. because there was a request not to return it, but to exchange it for a lighter color, on the day of delivery, since it was new to exchange it immediately. The main thing for the store is to sell, and not the main thing is that the customer is satisfied. When we bought it, we were told that it was new, and a week later that it was the last sofa. Liars!

Now that it's the second week of March, my wife called them on Sunday and she was told that someone would call us on Monday. No call. She called again yesterday and was finally told that the screen "got lost in shipment from the manufacturer". IF that is true, why was there no follow up on the order with the manufacturer? They said they could have one made and shipped in 2 weeks. Interesting. We declined because they should have known that the order was 4 weeks late. They have been in business for a very long time so someone dropped the ball and the customer who paid in full 8 weeks ago, shouldn't be chasing down their order. Disappointing R&P C

We have two toddlers and a second grader, and after a long day we stopped to grab snacks and dinner. After we paid, an employee pulled us to the side saying he didn't see my boyfriend scan Zebra Cakes. We had to go to the back with our kids, which was embarrassing. The total was only $12.69, and we explained it was an honest mistake from moving fast with kids. Taking our IDs and pictures over that amount was excessive. For loyal customers, this was handled very poorly.
