| - One thing you have to like about traveling is that you get to try all of those restaurants that you see commercials for -but never see in person. Today I got to finally try a Claim Jumper.
Claim Jumper is decorated like a giant cabin, with wood beams and buck antlers for chandeliers. The menu is part Cheescake Factory and part Chili's. Lots of salads, sandwiches, burgers, pastas and pizzas. They also brew their own beers and have a healthy selection of beers on tap.
I went with the Grilled Cobb Sandwich, and a cup of French Onion Soup. The sandwich was fantastic! It had a garlic mayo and a grilled specialty bread that set it off. Perhaps a little overboard on the bleu cheese, but I can deal with it. The soup was kind of plain, I've had better.
Our waiter, Kyle, was on point and the manager was a stud for giving us a free "slice" of caramel apple cheesecake because a server happened to drop a glass right next to us.
Claim Jumper is cool. Far superior to Chili's, Outback, Cheesecake Factory, etc. I'd definitely come back. 3.25 stars.
