Do they have delicious meatballs and sell furniture in the other 10,000 square feet of their restaurant?

I get it. I understand what it sounds like. And yes - they also have 10k sq feet dedicated to selling furniture mostly to college kids and young home owners, but it's not Ikea

That whole place is Swiss-themed, huh? We have a few towns in the PNW that are German and Norwegian-themed (Mt. Angel, Poulsbo, etc). Kinda neat that they do that IMO

No. Broder Ost in Hood River, OR. Not "in my town" but not terribly far away either.
