| - Claim Jumper's is fine for what it is. It's a chain restaurant that serves up hearty comfort food. We had a CJ gift card burning a hole in our pocket and suggested this spot for our family get-together.
Their menu is ginormous. In fact, it reminds me of a slightly smaller version of the Cheesecake Factory menu. It's loaded with options that range from salads, burgers, pastas, steaks-- think American pub style entrees.
Here's how it went down...
Chicken Pot Pie
An iconic and delicious calorie bomb. 3 out of 5 of us ordered this, It had a perfectly flaky and buttery crust filled with creamy sauce and chunks of chicken, carrots, peas, potatoes, onions, and mushrooms. They serve it with a cup of mixed fruit (honeydew, grapes, and cantaloupe). Yum.
Pasta
My brother-in-law always orders the Jambalaya pasta. This dish is made with a creole sauce and pepper, onions, sausage, chicken and shrimp. It's creamy, spicy, and filling---everything you want from comfort food. However, I really think you'd be safe ordering any pasta dish here.
Jamaican Jerk Chicken Sweet Potato
A giant sweet potato topped with jerk chicken, chives, and papaya relish. My potato and chicken were a little cold. I didn't send it back and just ate it the way it was. My overall feeling for this dish- Meh. I should've stuck with what I know and ordered the pot pie.
Again, I feel this spot is A-Ok for what it is. The family loves their Chicken Pot Pie - I'm sure we'll be back just for that. Their portions are extremely generous. Make sure you come here hungry.
