| - When we saw a Claim Jumper, we were pleasantly surprised since we had not been in to a Claim Jumper in YEARS, but had good memories of the food. Despite the reviews, we decided to give it a try for old times sake. Sadly, I think the meat they served me was actually from the last time we ate there... but I digress.
The restaurant was relatively empty when we arrived. Our server was pleasant. We ordered our food/drinks and eagerly awaited the foods arrival. We were hungry after a long day of car shopping and had one more place to stop that supposedly had the car with the amenities we wanted in stock, but food first as we knew it could be a lengthy process.
Our orders went in promptly, but it took a long time for our drinks to arrive (no refills), the. A surprisingly small salad and much longer still for the meals. Both our meals looked good. I eagerly dug into the mashed potatoes for the chicken fried steak, which was delicious. I then took a bite of the chicken fried steak and something seemed....OFF. I chewed for a moment thinking maybe it was an unusual spice... but it was SO WEIRD, that I began to worry that it was spoiled and spit it out. Never in my life have I eaten food that actually TASTED spoiled! GAG!!! My husband then tried it, to see if it was a weird spice, and he too thought it was spoiled/funky. I stopped eating and pushed my plate away so I could let her know, even leaving the mashed potatoes since I was sending it back. She didn't come back for at least 20 minutes. In the interim, my husband shared his chicken salad sandwich and fries with me. The sandwich was okay, but had more mayo than meat, which was disappointing.
When the server came back, she apologized and said the manager would come to see us. We asked if it would be soon, because we had somewhere to be. We should have just asked for the check because A) we waited for another 20-30 minutes with ZERO service or a manager ever arriving. B) we had a car we wanted to buy.
Long, disgusting story shortened, the manager never came but the price was removed from our check. This whole nasty ordeal took 2 HOURS!!! No inquiries or apologies were made, no compensation other than removing the one item from the bill (maybe I would've ordered something else??). We left hungry, grossed out AND the car we wanted to buy had been sold
In the interim. Ugh!
I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!! #vomit
