This is my first time at the Las Vegas Claim Jumper, and my second time at one of their restaurants. The food at Claim Jumpers is typical American flare cooked to appease the masses instead of standing out.
The atmosphere was nice and the waitress provided nice service for our party of 7 which can be a lot of work I am sure. The challenge is that the food is really unremarkable. It feels like they are trying to do to much, and in the process they create mediocrity for the masses. The other thing that stands out is that portion size seems to matter more than quality.
I got the Shrimp Fresca Pasta which was priced at $19.99. There were 6 butterflied shrimp that had been breaded and deep fried with a bed of noodles and a lemon cream sauce. The pasta was ok, but the shrimp were inconsistent with some being slightly dried out.
It was not a culinary disaster, but I will certainly fight harder if I am with a group that is selecting a restaurant again to try something else.
