Ikea - Cascade-Fairwood

A place to feed the entire family for cheap. I don't know about you. I've definitely cut down number of times we eat out this year due to inflation. IKEA Restaurant is a easy way to feed the entire family for pre-Covid prices. Plus, it's delicious!! If you like the meatballs, ordering them separately as sides is cheaper than ordering a meal. I did the math. You are welcome :P

Poorly designed cafeteria, unless they want to slow everyone down rather than have a long line for the cashiers. I only wanted soup and salad but had to wait with everyone who wanted meatballs and other non-self serve food. Half the beverage dispensers out of order. Had to go to one place for a fork and the last knife, to another for a spoon. Soup just labeled soup as far as I could see. Clearly tomato, but had cheese and/or meat/tofu as well. I 'm an omnivore when traveling, so I 'm for me. It was tasty, as are my Greek salad and dressing. I used to work near here; presumably it 's still better to come for dinner when you 've worked late.

This is a review from a previous visit as the restaurant is not open during the current COVID era. They must put something addictive in the meatballs since my kid loves them and has to have some every time. The prices are reasonable and you can find something without meat if that's what you are looking for. The food is generally decent, nothing spectacular but filling and tastes better than it costs.

Rating the cafeteria only: Been here twice. Both times something went wrong with the checkout terminal and I had to stand in an unmoving checkout line for over 10 minutes while staff tried to fix the terminal. Food was tasty but cold when I finally got to the table.

They have a reasonable breakfast and lunch menu. The store displays always gives us wonderful space savings ideas. Prices are super reasonable.
