    It's cheap and they manipulate my mind to think everything else is cheap. I know it, and still think it's cheap! 😜

    To make a smarter choice go for the salad, it fills you up without the heavy feeling on your stomach. Crepes are the least worse whatever spinach or mushrooms, water to wash it all down and go ;)

    Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes were tasty. Looked like they were old and dry, but they weren't. Looks can be deceiving.

    Can get very crowded later in the day. Not a huge selection but it's cheap, tasty, IKEA food so can you really complain?

    Grab a tray cart. Each cart holds 3 trays - so you can load up on food...

    Food is either too sweet or too salty. Meatballs are fine alone, w/mashed potatoes therefore, it's a sodium shot straight into the veins.
