I love to dine at Claim Jumpers; in other cities but the Bay Area. For some apparent reason- the foods and drinks taste a lot better, the service is more professionally efficient and the restaurants are a lot nicer from other CJ's locations than the Fremont and Concord, CA locations. Maybe it's me, I don't know!
This Claim Jumper is located (dead-center) in the outdoor Town Square shopping complex
As a high-volume eater, I love the amount of food offers to us. I also love the lunch items at Claim Jumper including the appetizers and the French Onion Soup. That hearty soup is also a pretty good size too.
For lunch, I had a pair of one of my personal favorites; the Caesar Salad and Chicken Fingers. The $10.95 poultry dish has five boneless breast battered to a golden brown. I also get a choice of dipping sauce, in which I chose the Bleu Cheese. And the $6.95 Caesar Salad was tasty with salad dressing and the colorful green color of the Romaine lettuce.

I also had a glass of Arnold Palmer (1/2 Lemonade & 1/2 Iced Tea) with free refills too. What a refreshing way to beat the desert heat!

While my food were being prepared, complimentary dish of buttery popcorn were serve. I can smell even the popcorn popper all over the facility. The popcorn also tasted good in my salad too. You should try that/

I had a great seat in a booth right across from the bar where I can watch ESPN and CNN on the TV at the bar. Also Ernesto, the hustling bartender/waiter, took my order and serving my needs.

The restaurant were also playing musics from the 80's, including Duran Duran's "Hungry like the Wolf." Indeed, my appetite was like a wolf.
My experience from this location is a positive one. The only downfall is that the dessert case is smaller than the other locations. Just the perfect size to display the monsterous "Motherlode Cake."
