| - In order to celebrate the holidays (and enjoy some well-deserved drinks!), myself and the rest of the fourth grade teachers on our team visited Claim Jumper. At first I was reluctant, worried about the prices (as mentioned above, I'm a teacher, so...); however, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonably everything was priced!
I enjoyed the Coconut Shrimp ($6), which came with a delicious slaw-like side. The shrimp had a wonderful blend of seafood and coconut, not too sweet and definitely crunchy! I also order the Fried Macaroni and Cheese ($5), which came as two very large wedges and a sweet & spicy dipping sauce. They were nice and crispy on the outside, and deliciously cheesy on the inside. I would definitely recommend dipping bites into the sauce! My only complaint would have to be that one or two bites, deep on the inside, were a little cold. It could certainly have been a one-time thing, and I have to admit that I'd probably try it again.
Everything else I sampled from my fellow teachers was also pretty tasty, including the shrimp ceviche and apple-glazed meatballs. While we're only a team of 6 teachers, the seating was set for groups of 4, so we had to just turn our chairs and chat. Not ideal, but we managed.
Overall, the food and prices (for Happy Hour, at least) make it worth a trip!
