Editorial Review for Claim Jumper – by Nancy Hunter
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.

Unfortunately I had to visit Claim Jumper again for a business function. This was about the third time I have eaten there and have yet to get what I would consider decent food. Everytime the food has been bland and tasteless. My lastest attempt I got the Rib-Eye which was tough and the blue cheese tasted like sour cream left out on the counter too long. Other dishes I have tried to my dismay were Chicken-Pot Pie and their Calamari dinner. Not a single one of these dishes warrants ever eating there again. The portions are so large they border on hyperbole. Claim Jumper feels like more of a cliche than an eating eastablishment because they focus on the size of the portions and not the quality. It's amazing that this chain still exists as I have been to three different restuarants with the same poor results. Service is average and the menu selection is good, but when the quality of the food is low who cares how many different entrees exist. Just another low-quality american restaurant serving up obesity one platter at a time.
Pros: Service was okay. Kids are amazed by the size of the dishes.
Cons: Big portions of low-quality (read not tasty) food.

Definitely the words Hefty, Hefty, Hefty comes to mind. I'm referring to the food portions. I think most people can get away with sharing a dish there easily and still leave full. Its obvious that the portions are huge since many people actually take a lot of it home with them if you ever watched them stream out of the restaurant. The menu selection is huge. I would almost compare the size of the menu to that of the Cheesecake Factory. In fact I would almost compare the quality of the food to that of the Cheesecake Factory too. Hmmm wonder if they're owned by the same people. Anyways, the place is for sorts of people --- kids, family, couples, dates, etc. The place is large enough to have this variety. The food is tastey and if you haven't figured it out yet, the portions are huge.
Pros: Huge portions, wide selection, dessert scrumptious
Cons: Parking is horrible, lines are horribly long - get a reservation
