This was probably the worst service I have experienced anywhere before. I have celiac disease & my expectations are pretty low, typically the best I find is a garden salad somewhere which is totally fine. At Ikeās, they had a few salads on the menu & when the server did finally come over, I asked him if the steak salad was gluten free & he responded āwhat do I look like, a scientist?ā Then just stood there staring at me. He didnāt bother to offer to double check or even politely give the we canāt guarantee anything line. We were one of three tables in the entire restaurant, the other two were already eating when we arrived. It was 10 minutes before he even checked in when we sat down, all our cocktails were gone before our food came & we had to stop him to ask for more after heād walked away without checking. Pretty much every part of our experience seemed to be an inconvenience to him. As far as the food it was okay. Three of us had steak salads, the steak was very rubbery.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreUsed to enjoy MSP layovers because it meant stopping at Ike's for all day breakfast. Today was not enjoyable, though. While the bartender was courteous and service was prompt, my steak & eggs (ordered medium) came with a raw piece of beef. While it was seared on both sides the steak was cold in the middle.

From now on I'll just skip Ike's altogether. And save my layover appetite for my final...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe Worst service ever! The ball head guy has to be the WORST SERVER IN THE U.S.A! I travel the world and experienced good and bad service, and he tops the list of the worst. He was complaining about other customers at the bar and also said, I was weird because I didn't want any ice in my drink because I knew it would get watered down, and I wouldn't get a refill. He said I should get ice because I will i get a refill, but I knew it was a lie. The food was ok, but the service from him was a ZERO! He only brought my one drink and took my order. NEVER GOT A REFILL! BEWARE OF THE TERRIBLE SERVICE IF...
