Super sized offerings (and prices) does not a good restaurant make!
My daughter, Kathy, and her beau Keith took me out yesterday to Claim Jumper on Apache Road... I had never been to one of these, even though I had lived in Las Vegas and the Phoenix area the last decade or so.
What we had...
I had the Grilled Liver, Bacon and Onions - A huge plate of Liver with an equally ungodly amount of Onions with a side Biscuit that was the consistency of a BRICK! If you closed your eyes... the Bacon tasted like NOTHING!
Keith had Sliders (Mini Cheeseburgers)... I got to try a couple of these little guys... and no flavor whatsoever despite the warnings of extra-sharp cheese on the menu. Keith also had a bowl of New England Claim Chowder before the meal... he told me not to order it next time.
Kathy had the Snow Crab and Chive Quiche with a Small Green Salad - I got to try the quiche later... again no flavor! It looked as appetizing as heck, though. HUGE dish!
For Dessert... the Brownie Finale... another HUGE dessert! Probably tasted the best... because of all the SUGAR!
Even their cups of Coffee were HUGE!
In summary... I would not mind the high prices if the food had any kind of flavor... but unfortunately they didn't!
Update from my Chef son, Kevin...
He said to order the Soups... they're especially good from what he said!
