I have never had an IKEA near my hometown so everytime I go to one, it's still a bit of a novelty. My wife is absolutely in love with this place. As far as IKEAs go, this one was no different than any of the IKEAs I've been to except that there were an unusually high number of crying babies in there.
From what I've found, it's got a lot of pretty cool stuff for a fair price. After the novelty wears off, I begin to get a little bored.
I tried the food for the first time and I thought the swedish meatballs were pretty good. It's only $3 for 10 meatballs and fries and I was satisfied after the meal. My wife got the spinach crepes and she was less than impressed with the cold crepes. She was regretting not getting the meatballs for a $1 less than the crepes.
I like IKEA but I think if I had one close by then I doubt that I would shop there too often. I think it's more the novelty than anything.
