My friend and I just had lunch at Claim Jumper today. Oh, boy, was the food delicious!! My Chicken Pot Pie must have been the size of a 6" pie. The large pieces of vegetables, meat, and potatoes in this pie were fresh tasting, and so scrumptious. It was so large that I had to take some home for lunch tomorrow. It came with fruit, again cut in good sized pieces, fresh tasting, and so much I had to take some of it home too. Now, how often does that happen with a fruit bowl! My friend's lunch was quiche and salad. She gave me a taste of her quiche. It tasted as if it had just been made recently, with fluffy eggs, tasty ingredients, and great pie shell. All the ingredients in the salads looked like they had just been picked from the garden. The greens were so green, the reds were so red, and the whites were so white. The manager was handy for solving your needs or requests. The staff was pleasant, attentive, and thoughtful. They didn't seem so busy that they didn't have time for you. They always checked each time they came by to see if you needed anything. Our waitress didn't act stressed at all. She even took the time to answer our questions and make comments on our dining experience. The restaurant seemed to have plenty of waitresses for the whole establishment, so no one waitress was having to take care of 20 tables at-a-time. For those of you who like a bar area with good drinks, Claim Jumper had plenty of drink choices, including wines, beers, bartender's picks, martinis, margaritas, specialty drinks, coffee, and dessert drinks. The appetizer menu included such great choices like Avocado Rolls, Cheese Potato Cakes, Southwest Eggrolls, and Spinach Artichoke Dip. There was such a great selection that my friend and I thought we should just order appetizers. The decor helps to make your dining experience pleasant, with tropical fans blowing on the ceiling, large booths with plenty of seating, and an intimate setting. You find yourself wanting to stay a long time to visit eat and visit. You definitely don't need to feel rushed in this restaurant. This is a great place for a lovely luncheon with your best friend, a date with your husband or wife, a business luncheon, or a dinner with the family. I am looking forward to the next time I can dine at Claim Jumpers. If you asked, I would go there in a second!
