| - If this is the Claim Jumper by PHX (sorry, we aren't familiar with the area), we want to give a shout out to Courtney, our server. She was great!
Our hotel staff recommended a steak house on top of a hill. Rooster something? We initially went there. And it looked really cool. But it was 8 p.m. and there was a 90 minute wait. Uh, no. So, we did a quick search for other nearby steak places, and despite our vacation pledge to avoid chain restaurants, we ended up at a Claim Jumper.
But Courtney was worth it. We sat in the bar area and we waited for Happy Hour to start to order and get some half price appetizers (which was really funny as we watched the clock tick down with Courtney. But hey, saving money is saving money!). Hubby got the calamari and I got the soft pretzel. We both liked our choices. Hubby said his entree steak was really good and I liked my vegetarian wrap. I was so full from the pretzel, I could only eat half. I really appreciated that all the vegetarian options are gathered in one place on the menu. Makes ordering easy and clear.
By far, what we most enjoyed was Courtney. She was so upbeat, friendly and chatty. We like servers with personality! I hope her new kitten is a joy! It was a great start to our vacation. We kept talking over the next few days about how much fun we had with her. How often does THAT happen?? And she was a great server, too....very attentive, good recommendations, remembered special requests, explained the charges on the bill....
The food was really good, but our server was even better. Thanks!
(Our visit was April 22, 2017)
ETA: we never got the cheesy bread. Maybe they don't serve it in the bar? Or maybe not at that location? Not a complaint, just an observation.
