Claim Jumper

Noisy place with very ordinary bar food. Wouldn’t go back, especially with all the great places to choose from in LO. Lots of tables with screaming kids. Service was crappy too. We had 3 different servers and none of them seemed to know what was going on

Always go there on my birthday every years. Glad there has various choice meals you want than limited. Dessert… oh gosh so huge!

I give 3 stars because some of the dishes are good and some are not so good. The service can be a bit slow. But they have big portions so the meal is worth the $$ I suppose. Not a good place if your trying to eat healthy. Lol

Saturday nite I ordered take out. I wanted to try a local place but was just too tired to drive around in Portland traffic, so I chose Claim Jumper because its across the street from my hotel. I selected ceasar salad with shrimp… they asked me what kind of shrimp I wanted lol??? Never been asked that before. I said the kind you put on a cold salad. That seemed to be confusing for them. I was called back on my cell 3 times to figure out what I meant. COLD SALAD STYLE SHRIMP PLEASE. GEEEEZ. Ok so the manager gets on the phone and tells me they dont have that kind, only prawns that have to be grilled first, but he will have them chilled for me afterward… OMG the menu says shrimp but what ever. I also selected 12oz. rib eye rare with baked potato and clam chowder. The salad was a TOTAL rip off at $ 17 and 7 shrimp (small grilled PRAWNS), clam chowder was ok, a bit too buttery for my taste.
But I will say my steak was cooked perfectly, very rare and the potato was really good too.
Sadly, they did not include a fork and knife to cut it with (nor a napkin, salt or pepper) even though I told them I was traveling and staying in a hotel. I had to leave my food in my room as I went starving downstairs into the lobby and ask the desk clerk if I could have a knife, fork, napkin, salt and pepper :-(GEEEZ again!
Yes the servers were very nice and polite, but I do not think they are set up for take out.

Worst customer service I’ve ever had. First the waitress, though nice, was taking far too long to come check up on our table. We had finished our food and been waiting to order dessert, but we waited more than ten minutes for her to come over. Then after she took the check with the card for payment, she took a long time to bring it back and was spotted going to other tables and taking orders while we waited. Upon going to sign the receipt I noticed that my card was only charged $ 0.09. So again we waited (by the way there were many open tables so I wouldn’t say she was too busy) so that I could ask her how much my card was legitimately run for. Finally she comes back and goes off to check with her manager. Again we wait… Watching her handle food, take orders, and deliver the checks to other tables. As we get to the point where we intend on going to the front to speak with a manager she comes back around to say her manager is looking at it. We sat back down and waited, and eventually she came back to say that my card had to be run again. Back to waiting, and watching her do other things. This time the manager comes over to apologize and explains they ran my card for the balance of the bill minus the $ 0.09, but the waitress will bring my card. More waiting; we watch her moving plates, bringing out food, and then we see her and the manager talking, and she is clearly looking through her apron for something that she’s missing. Then as she comes back through the door to the outdoor seating she stops, picks up a card from the floor, and brings it to me asking if it’s mine. We wanted to leave the restaurant at least half an hour before we got this settled, and then they loose track of my card. The food was not worth this hassle and I have no intention of going back any time soon.

don’t ever go on holidays. Had a reservation for Mother’s Day at 12. On top of that they won’t give you a waiting time they just say «shortly.» And by shortly they mean a loooooong time. They didn’t tell us our table was ready via text until an HOUR later. Luckily we left and went somewhere else. The reservation girl even said they always overbook. Like, what’s the point of reservations?!

I wanted to like Claim Jumper. They have a huge menu, which I hoped would accommodate my friends’ varied tastes, and I was pleasantly surprised to call Thursday and find I could get a reservation for Friday.
Sadly, that’s about as good as it got. We had to wait 10 minutes even though we had a reservation, which wouldn’t have been so bad if the staff had been halfway polite. Instead, the hostess just handed me a pager and said «wait for it» without even looking up. This was almost enough to make me just leave, and it got worse: when the thing lit up, I walked back to the hostess and she just pointed across the lobby to someone else. Like, seriously? That is how you train your staff?
The server was nice enough, but didn’t know answers to any of our questions about any of the food or drink and didn’t seem interested in finding out. We had to order around people’s various food allergies and hope for the best. Fortunately, nobody died from anaphylactic shock. Unfortunately, we all almost died from an overdose of sodium and a lack of any discernable nutrients. My chicken barbecue salad had tiny slivers of chicken breast shaved onto it as if they were truffles. Other ingredients were either missing altogether or nearly so: if you didn’t look at the menu first, you would think it was a lettuce salad with a garnish of a few tiny pieces of cubed tomato and the aforementioned chicken slivers, drowned in sickly sweet barbecue sauce that tasted like your basic grocery store house brand.
The pizza wasn’t any better, and resembled nothing so much as those frozen pizzas you can buy at convenience stores for about $ 9. Only, this one was $ 17, ordered as an appetizer but served when we were halfway through the entrees. Minus one star for this, and it would’ve only been two stars anyway.
I’m embarrassed to have chosen this place. It’s basically a big-​ass Applebee’s. Don’t go here if you have tastebuds. If you just want to eat salty, shitty food and drink yourself into oblivion, it’s your kind of place.

The Easter Sunday Brunch was pretty fair! They had a verrrry nice selection of brunch foods .(but maybe can up their dessert selection wasn’t impressed at all. everything was served petite four style like mini cupcakes and cookies. really?!. @$ 25 need better variety). Other than that I might return another holiday! All the staff are very warm. helpful and welcoming. so the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Claim Jumper not too shabby! Thank you Happy Easter.
Keep Unilocaling! ;)

Claim Jumper gets 5 stars because their happy hour is riiiiiiiiiiiidiculously long and they have these fried cheddar mash potato things that I would have for my last meal if I was ever on death row. Also, their wine for happy hour is really nice, I approve.

Love the way the place looks. The food here is on pint, from what I tired today! And the customer service is like perfect, the servers name was Nicole: and she was just awesome. Another awesome thing is the free garlic bread that they give here. Would I recommend to come here? YEA! Would I come here again: definitely yes.
I had the Widow Maker Burger and it was huge! The picture that’s on the menu is deceiving lol. In reality… I could not fit the burger into my mouth! And it was just an amazing experience. It contains: the patty, onion rings, avocado, tomatoes and other greens. In all its amazing :) it came with fries, which were really good. I honestly didn’t finish it.

If there was an option for no stars I would choose that. I would have to say it was the worst service I’ve ever had, our waiter came up to us after taking our order saying she had to go home and we were appointed a new waitress. Only catch was, we never met her until she got our card. We sat there with salads with no silverware for 10 minutes, after receiving silverware from the guy from the kitchen (thankfully he was so nice). Also, after she got the card and we had food in front of us (clearly weren’t eating anymore) she didn’t ask if we wanted a box or anything. Her name is «Desi»? Will not be returning and won’t recommend this place for anyone, left without leaving a tip and did not feel bad.

I got really great news and wanted to celebrate, but also had to make a return at the mall. So, I decided to have lunch someplace new and not at the mall food court. And, I am kinda wishing I had just had lunch at the food court instead of here.
We walked in and no one was standing at the front. So I asked my husband where he wanted to sit and out of no where this woman says, «oh no, i will pick that for you». So, she sat us down and we got our menus. Such a confusing menu, and our waitress didn’t ask us if we had any questions about it. Which normally would be fine, but The lunch menu was really confusing and kinda rushed together it seemed like.
My husband picked out a club sandwich and I went with fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I wasn’t expecting my fried chicken to have gravy on it. (specially since the menu didn’t say that it would come with it on top) so I was pretty disappointed. The gravy on top made the chicken mushy and it was a country gravy, so I wasn’t too excited about that. I am not a big fan of country gravy at all. And, the menu also didn’t say that it came with that.
I feel like I was over charged for a lack luster meal. I would have much rather had some cheap food in the mall and loved to have extra money to spend somewhere else. I will not go back to this place.

Donald Trump would say the portions at Claim Jumper are «heeewwwge!» and probably something like «My friend, who happens to be a very famous American model, told me Claim Jumper portions were big. Some people would say very, very, very big. I don’t know, but that is what people are telling me. The quantity is going to be amazing. Believe me.»
The Donald would actually be right in this case because the portions at Claim Jumper are gigantic diet-​busting plates of classic All-​American food. A single slice of the decadent Six-​layer Chocolate Motherlode Cake (or 12-​layer if using bipartisan math to count Frosting as a layer) is enough for an entire party of six. Which is exactly what we were when we hit Claim Jumper.
As an entrée, I had a Widow Maker Burger with Bacon, Onion Rings, Avocado, Double-​thick Tillamook Cheddar Cheese, Mayo and Red Relish that definitely killed my hunger. Others at my table had a regular Burger, Cobb Salad, or Chinese Chicken Salad. One disappointment was not having the heewggge Salad Bar found at some Claim Jumper locations. Our group split a Calamari appetizer. For drinks, I had a decent Tequila Mule while my wife got a Vodka Mule.
I’m sure Claim Jumper cherishes diets as much as Donald has respect for diets. All of them. But, if you want to save your waistline, you better build a heewwge wall, the greatest wall ever, between you and your entrée and have Mexico pay for it. I’m gonna make my wall out of 6-​layer Chocolate Cake.

Great sandwiches! Try the Alaskan Crab sandwich with artichoke or the Homemade focaccia bread sandwich loaded with meat. We went there for lunch so it wasn’t busy and we had great service.
Also, the homemade chips were great! They gave us a dip for the chips that was pretty good too.

4 of us went for dinner last. I ordered a salad with my meal and they bring me soup. Had to wait to get the correct salad then had the wrong dressing.
Then my meal came and I had requested Rice instead of mashed potatoes. Well, they gave me French Fry’s. Had to wait again. My sons meal was Room Temperature. Had to send back to heat it up. Meals tasted good after everything was corrected. Manager came over and apologized.

Completely UNSATISFACTORY and UNACCEPTABLE. We walked in, and it looked empty besides a girl cleaning up behind the bar and a guy at one of the two hostess stands (one looked like a stand and one looked like a desk). No one else except customers on the patio. We stood there for minutes. A girl, who looked like a hostess, came out and proceeded to talk to the guy without giving us any acknowledgement. So, we took a seat in the bar area. We were looking forward to happy hour. I guess not, though, because after sitting down for a few minutes and no greeting by anyone and the «hostess» looking over at us without saying anything, we left. You should be totally ashamed, Claim Jumper.

The portions are HUGE and the prices are good. Granted I’ve only ate here during happy hour.
I’ve tried the widow maker burger amongst other things and it was pretty good. A huge burger but it was so big it was falling apart.
Overall i thought it was good food, large portions, huge area, for a good price.

A lot of food, go hungry. Nice table bread, a big cheesy garlic knot. Try the Irish Nacho.
Tina was a great waitress.

Look and feels like a franchise.
We stopped by to grab a quick bite and happened to be in for Happy Hour. The menu was decent, limited beer on tap though. Service was slow. It doesn’t seem like the staff helps each other out either.
Our drinks were sitting in the counter for about 10 minutes… our waitress was no where to be seen. We went to the bar and told the other waitress that we think that’s our order. Right off the bat, she said yeah in confirmation but still didn’t serve them to us until we specifically asked for them to be brought over. Then our original server came back out of breathe, and service was good after that.
But with such a large establishment there should be a system where the servers help each other out. That initial task to get drinks set a poor tone for our meal.
Drinks were good, sliders were good, but nothing special. Would swing by if convenient but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

We have been here a few times, I can strongly recommend the happy hour if you want to try the food and save some $$. I am looking forward to going back for Sunday brunch — trying to moderate my expectations for the quality of food I can get for $ 16 but hoping for great things.
I took the wife there for Valentine’s day lunch — sadly they weren’t serving from the lunch menu and their Valentine’s special menu was too rich for our tastes. I had The California citrus salad and I was happy — it is good, I think it would have been way better with wanton strips to add the always important crunch factor. I paired that with the Hickory BBQ burger — it was interesting and I think good that they also put 1,000 island dressing on that sandwich. One of the professional touches that I think helps to merit the prices they charge is that the plate with «just» a burger and fries was hot — so my fries were warm throughout the meal.
The wife had the Caesar salad and liked it as well. That one had the wonton noodles I wish I had asked for with mine.
Service was professional — we ate in the bar to avoid the wait for a table so it’s out of school to complain if the service speed /​consistency is a little off there.
The place is comfortable, it’s spendy and it’s good.
I tried it for Sunday Brunch and don’t recommend it — it has the pitfalls of almost every brunch I’ve been to — food sitting out too long, the best food from the menu not on the buffet line.
