It has been a while since I went to Claim Jumper. This time was to take clients out for good steak dinner. The whole atmosphere was no better than a 3 star restaurant. Steak was good, but other entrees were over cooked. Ribs were black and fish was over cooked. Chicken wings were basted in vinegar which was over done. Cheese pie dessert was good, but the chocolate cake was over proportioned and the waitress did not inform us.

Salad bar produce looked like it had been sitting there all day… not fresh.

Go get the fish sandwich! (7/1/22 not on menu, but they still had it.). Hard to beat!

I have long been a Claim Jumper fan but this visit has made me never want to again. They have completely changed the menu. The food was terrible! It tasted old and my husband’s clam chowder had no clam in it. Also, they had a very limited wine selection with some only available by the bottle. We won’t be going back anytime soon.

The oscar salmon, the baby back ribs, and sides were excellent. They have a new salad bar for $14 and it was excellent as well. Service was great. For the two of us it came out to $77.69 They have a 3% surcharge they add to the bill. Overall nice experience and great menu..Response to the owners response on my review.Thank you for providing the info on the surcharge. Everyone I talk to believe the same thing probably because we're unaware of the reasoning behind it. I've edited my review in light of the new info I've received.

Great classic gold mining environment with hearty meals filled with comfort food and a meaty vibe. Excellent salad bar with very generous portions. Service is usually attentive and the management is usually on top of things. Great for a large group or a big celebration. The checkers/chess board in the lobby is a fun plus!

Food was awful. Service was very friendly though

This place used to be better. Now we think it’s just horrible…sorry but honesty is the best policy.

Lots of variety, food was great. The eggs benedict were perfect!

We decided to celebrate Fathers Day ahead of the crowds at our favorite restaurant. Our server was very pleasant and overall service was great. The food was fantastic as usual. I ordered the chopped cob with chicken one of the largest cob salads I have ever had. We had everything from grilled salmon to fried chicken and their fantastic potato cheese soup. Everything was delicious!
