I know, we were skeptical, too. But IKEA's Restaurant has multiple ways a family of four can eat for under $15.
Don't get us wrong, we're big fans of the furniture -- but the restaurant always seems like a Target snackbar -- no one would make plans to go to the Target for dinner, right?
IKEA's PR folks disagree, claiming the IKEA Restaurant "has a great variety of healthy, tasty choices and FREE entertainment for children."
You make the call, does the Press Release included below make a believer out of you?
FULL IKEA PRESS RELEASE:
Dinner for a Family of Four... Under $15? Tasty and Fun at the IKEA Restaurant.
Let’s face it. We all like to eat out. Just leave the cooking behind and go enjoy a fun, family meal. And we’re not talking about a quickie drive-through…you know, the ones with minimal healthy choices. Yet in these challenging economic times, a big question remains. Can a family of four really afford to have dinner out?

Open from *9:30 am to 8:30 pm, the IKEA restaurant has a great variety of healthy, tasty choices and FREE entertainment for children. No tips to add to the bill. No waiter rushing you out the door.
For example, here’s a great meal for kids, and it only costs $2.49. It includes Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and a fountain beverage. Times that by two and you just fed two kids for under $5.
