After walking however many miles through the Ikea store in Burbank, we were starving. And tired. And our feet hurt. We went to the cafeteria and had some classics. I think that is all that they serve here…. The Smoked Salmon Salad was full of flavor and the salmon was so tender. The salad is served with fresh leafy greens and a scoop of potato salad. The smoked salmon had a great flavor. I want some bagels with lox now…. The potato salad was good, maybe a bit plain. The dressing on the side of the plate is an odd choice. We also got the Swedish Meatballs with peas, mashed potatoes, and lingonberries. The mashed potatoes are perfect for picking up the peas! Nothing was overcooked, the peas were tender, the mashed potatoes were very mashed, no texture, just potato-ey goodness. This came with some lingonberries. It was nice to cut the other flavors with it. We also got some veggie patties and plantains as side dishes. The veggie patties were good, maybe a bit small, but good flavor. And the Plantains were cooked just right. A little resistance to them, but soft and full of flavor. Had to get a scone and strawberry cake as well. I forgot to take pictures of the cake, but for a few bucks, this is a great deal. Both were a nice way to finish our meal Not a huge menu, but pretty much anyone can find something that they would want to eat from here. It’s a cafeteria, it moves a lot of folks through in a polite manner. Serving staff is friendly if you have any questions, but again, it is a cafeteria, so there is not a lot of server/customer interaction. Checking out and paying is quick and simple, and there is a lot of seating. The seating area is clean and comfortable for what it is. It seems to be very clean, nothing...
Read moreThis was my second time at IKEA Burbank. I highly recommend signing up for the IKEA family card. Doesn’t cost anything and you get free coffee each time. I wish the restaurant had to go cups for the coffee. If you get coffee from the bistro, you must ask for creamer. They don’t have a half and half machine or sugar packets. The creamer was French vanilla and it was too sweet. The chicken tenders at the restaurant were huge and it was a generous portion. The fried breading was too salty for my liking but oh well. I’ll try something else next time. Lunch for two was around $14. Hard to beat that! The best surprise purchases was the pretzel at the bistro and the adorable mini chair hooks. The pretzel was just $1.50 and was warm and delicious. You can order from the bistro from a screen and pay. You get a receipt with a number which will be called. IKEA gets overcoming and it’s easy to get a bit lost but glad we made the drive. By the way, I wasn’t aware the first time but they have plentiful underground parking. There are spaces to pull into and load...
Read moreTheir service wasn't fair to everybody. They didn't have same services with whole customers in this branch. Their service wasn't equal to minor group. Such as they didn't allowed people with dogs minor group like Asians, African Americans, Hispanic etc. With these minors they have strict rules requiring but to White Americans they didn't check strict rules and they even didn't check ADA proof such as ADA leashes and just allowed... They have different rules for people who comes with dogs here. They had talked with minors strict rules and treated them with lot of ignorance... I don't recommend this place. I didn't mind situation here if they treated us same equally... Specially manager was worst person I could feel bad energy, ignorance, and too much entitlement as white. And also they treated me with bad attitude even though I am the handicap person. They ruined my shopping day with kids 40 minutes to...
