| - For our anniversary, my husband and I received a gift card for Claim Jumper from his parents. After reading the reviews, we were wondering if they could get a refund or something, because we didn't even want to try the place. We ended up not going on our anniversary, but on a later date with our kids, when we had a "dinner emergency"and decided to use the gift card. We went on a weeknight, and we were surprised to see it was pretty busy. Here was our experience-
Service the entire time was excellent, and prompt. No issues with service, and we didn't have to wait to be seated, and we didn't wait a long time for our food. The restaurant was clean, thankfully, or we would have left.
We ordered the pretzel appetizer, which we devoured. I think they were our favorite out of everything we ate. They had good flavor, and were served with hot mustard and a cheese sauce. My daughter didn't like the cheese sauce, but the rest of us did.
My husband ordered the calzone with pepperoni and mushroom. It filled the entire plate. It was cooked well, and he said it was full of pepperoni, and the mushrooms weren't mushy. He said the sauce to dip it in wasn't bad, but he has had better. Said he still enjoyed the calzone.
I had the grilled fish tacos and rice pilaf. There was more of the cabbage mixture than fish, but I really liked the flavor. I would have preferred flour tortillas, rather than corn, but it was still good. The meal was a normal portion size, so I was able to finish it.
My daughter had the cashew chicken salad- which was HUGE, one half of it was the size of one very large sandwich, so the other half came home with us. She had fruit on the side. She liked the sandwich, said the bread was flavorful and chicken salad was good. She did not like the honeydew and cantaloupe, because she said they weren't ripe.
My son had the classic cheeseburger and fries. I tried one of the fries, and it was good. The fries are cut thin, and have a seasoning blend on them. He really liked the cheeseburger, and finished the whole thing, and enjoyed some of the fries as well. We brought some leftover fries home. I think the meal could have been a dollar or two less in cost though, as $10.29 was a bit steep for the size of the burger.
All in all, we were pleasantly surprised, and we would go there again.
