What People Are Saying About Claim Jumper

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Established in 1977, the Claim Jumper draws families, seniors and professionals with a mix of Old-West decor and a reliable menu of American classics. Logs, corrugated tin, rock and warm fireplaces embellish the unique ambience. Signature plates include hickory-smoked pork ribs, rotisserie chicken and barbecued beef tri-tip; the menu also offers tortilla chicken soup, potpies, wood-fired pizzas, and the popular six-layer Chocolate Motherlode Cake. The saloon features appetizers and the restaurant's own brews.

Don't know what happened to the quailty...

by beautifuldarkness

My whole family ate here a few years back and the food was good. But within the last 2-3 yrs the quality declined, food was way too greasy and fattening. We will never come here again. There is better quality out there, search for other places here on citysearch.

Excellent Filet Mignon

by shortcake23

I have been here a couple of times with my family. The service is really good, seated within 30mins on a busy weekend. Garden salads are very good size and tasty. Filet mignon is good size and comes with good side dishes. Food was cooked to order. Salmon as cooked well. A little bit pricey but worth it. Ambience is nice and good place for family and kids. Also, they have a salad bar, which I have not tried.

  • Pros: Food cooked to order, good service, kid friendly
  • Cons:  A little pricey, parking can be tough

Pretty good baked potato. That is all.

by bayemvay

The potato was good. Nothing else was. Oh, yeah, the parking lot was convenient. This place is way over rated. Also too noisy.

  • Pros: Decent potato
  • Cons: Everything but the potato.

Skip It

by genet

Since I hate paying high prices then leaving hungry, we checked out the Claim Jumper. Well, I didn't leave hungry, nor satisfied.

Our servers were pleasant but slow and not always available. The food took too long. It a situations where you have multiple servers throughout the experience. One takes your order, another brings your drinks and someone you haven't seen yet shows up with your food. Some call this teamwork, but it's my experience that when this happens the service quality erodes.

The food - not good. Huge portions of rather tasteless , ordinary stuff. The fried zuccini was extra thick and lacked crispness and delicateness. Kind of like fried eggplant.

For what you are getting -basic Americana cuisine like they serve in a diner (and an ambiance to match), only bigger - the value is not there. We will not return.

  • Pros: Large Portions
  • Cons: Bad Service, Bland Food, Banal Ambiance
1.5 Star Rating: Poor

yuck!

by jazzyl

Went there one time. I begged my husband to take me and I was so disappointed with the mediocre food and service for the price. Server was not in the least bit interested in us and I tipped accordingly. Do not waste your time.

  • Pros: good ahi wraps
  • Cons: service, bland over all, food under/over cooke
