Even though it was almost 3 pm, I passed on the pasta special. At this time everyday, Ikea serves their plain ol pasta dish for a buck a plate. So naturally I saw a few people with two plates each.
Instead, I had the meat pie with salad. Woohoo! Hooray! Okay. It's not that exciting for most of you but I guess that's about as exciting as my life is right now. And when you eat their as frequently as I do for lunch and see the same dishes all the time, any new dish is a welcome sight. As long as its decent enough. Anyhow, it's a new item on their menu and wasn't too bad. The crust was especially good as it was just light enough and flaky. The type of crust I would have preferred on the blueberry pie I bought a few days ago. Quite a bit of that pie is still sitting in my fridge waiting to be consumed.
And if you wanted to get even cheaper than that, I found out that the hotdogs are just 75 cents each. Can't beat that for a super cheap 'snack'. Bring the kids there. Bring the whole family. There's no reason to go hungry if you can't get yourself to an Ikea store at these prices.
As for breakfast, one dollar gets you the full breakfast plate.
This has been a free plug for Ikea Restaurant.
And for desert, I sometimes get the chocolate mouse, strawberry jello or lemon merange pie. mmmm mmmm! The one nearby recent got a new cappucino machine too. And you can buy small bottles of Svedish vine with your meal!

Sure the prices may be low and the food great, but it's not something that pops out in my mind.
'Hey, Ichy, lunch? Where do you want to go?'
'Umm...why, how about Ikea!'
Sorry, those conversations don't apply to my everyday life! :)

Those places rock! they got great food to compensate for the long lines that they make you wait in. And where are you gonna find $.75 hot dogs, unless you make it yourself at home?
Ikea restaurant rules. Even the coffee is good.
no food court type places nearby. They're all out at the malls on No.3 road.
