Editorial Review for Claim Jumper – by Nancy Hunter

In Short
Established in 1977, the Claim Jumper draws families, seniors and professionals with a mix of Old-West decor and a reliable menu of American classics. Logs, corrugated tin, rock and warm fireplaces embellish the unique ambience. Signature plates include hickory-smoked pork ribs, rotisserie chicken and barbecued beef tri-tip; the menu also offers tortilla chicken soup, potpies, wood-fired pizzas, and the popular six-layer Chocolate Motherlode Cake. The saloon features appetizers and the restaurant's own brews.

I really like to go there when everybody is very hungry! My experience with the long wait to be seated (can be over an hour) has led me to dining there for "linner" very early dinner or very late lunch, however you want to look at it. Huge desserts The 'Motherlode' chocolate cake will serve about 7 people or if you are a chocoholic and a bottomless pit for a stomach, GO FOR IT!! That cake is soooooo good!

Pros: Very satisfying portions

Cons: The dinner wait is horribly long
