| - I don't get this place. Is it only this location? Why does everyone walk around the place like they own it. People bump into me and then GIVE ME a dirty look as if I shouldn't be there. I'm looking at dishes, and clearly in front of it, but people will just come and pick things up with no respect for boundaries.
I'm standing in front of a shelf I want, writing down the details, and a family starts asking us questions as if we work there.
We came on a Monday night, and it was fairly busy. I would rather come during the day to have a better experience and walk around the model homes without someone giving me a dirty look as if I opened their kitchen cabinet.
As for the cafe. We had dinner here. Really busy around 6pm, and for some reason only one cash open and long line ups.
I went to take a look at the front of the line to see what the fries looked like, and these women gave me a dirty look, as if I was cutting the line, and copying their homework and moved down in a way that I couldn't look over.
While AT was in line (why didn't didn't open the 2nd service station I don't know), I went to the bathroom. When I came back, there were more dirty looks when I joined the line again.
Finally got our food, but waited again in line for the cash. By this time food was cold and the gravy on the meatballs was caked on.
By the time we sat down, there's was lots of choice, but you're surrounded by old people and kids. And no matter what you're in view of the tray collecting station in the middle of room which was not cleared - imagine half finished meals and trays with flies flying around it.
All in all, I have to say it wasn't the most appetizing experience. I just try to have blinders and eat as quick as possible.
For $7.99, salad , 10 meatballs, potatoes, gravy and soft drink, is not a bad deal, but also doesn't seem as cheap as I expected. Unfortunately for me, soft drink does not include the Lingonberry juice that they used to have, and all sugary, HFCS beverages which I do not drink - essentially I paid a premium for tap water.
Food itself was tasty, but reminded me of fast food - a treat. Felt very heavy and sleepy afterwards.
Everything else here seemed to be standard Ikea. I think next time I'll go to another location.
