| - The Lady craved the Whiskey Glazed Chicken as we drove away from the house and still hadn't decided where we were going to eat. So she say's "Miller Ale House, or Claim Jumper?" I hate picking, because she's pregnant and I don't want to pick the wrong one, and I'll find something to eat pretty much anywhere so it's her choice. We decide on Claim Jumper, and I was happy to oblige her craving.
We walk in on Saturday night at about 815 and go into the bar and sit at one of the booths. A plus that we pulled up and a car pulled out of one of the spots right in front of the entrance, so we pulled in and noticed there was still 15 minutes left in the meter. +1. A cute server promptly brought us waters and a couple menus and asked how we were doing this Saturday night. so +1 for friendliness.
We scoured the menus and she had already decided what she was getting, so it took me just a minute to find my country fried steak which is almost always what I get at a place like this. (Mimi's, Applebee's, Chili's, etc). We ordered and asked her opinions of the two items we got and she said they are both excellent, the chicken was bone-in and the country fried steak was GINORMOUS and that it's the size of the plate. (there is a light version of you don't want to eat the plate size portion). If you've been to Claim Jumper you might know how big the plates are here.
The food was spot on for me. The lady was disappointed in the chicken, it used to be 3 or 4 chicken breasts with the glaze and apples all over the meat, now it's a big breast/thigh piece with a million bones and by the time she was done she had a pile of bones and skin bigger than the actual amount of chicken she consumed, it was a pain in the a** picking all the chicken off and it's wasted pounds by serving it bone-in. But knowing about the restaurant industry a little, we understand with the economy slowish, it's cheaper for restaurants to buy bulk whole pieces like this instead of pre-made breasts ready to serve. Each came with a choice of side, I got the bacon mac n cheese and she got the baked potato. Both were really good, it's pretty tough to mess up a baked potato and the mac was nice, nothing amazing, but good. The steak was huge, she wasn't kidding, I can eat and I barely finished half of it, but it's nice cause now I have leftovers and leftover country fried steak is delicious. She said the chicken had a good taste and the apples hit the spot.
I had a beer and we split a cup of french onion soup. Bill was $44 + tip which isn't bad considering we both brought food home. Soup was a little ridiculous priced, $5 for a little cup no matter how good it is is stupid, and the beer was $4.75 for a domestic bottle so that's a little high too. All in all we had a nice dinner out. The place wasn't loud and annoying, the service was spot on and she did a great job so we tipped her well, and the food was very solid.
4 solid stars! thanks CJ!
