The food portions here are ridiculously large. I can never really finish my meal unless I order something small (they have half portions and full portions) or "normal" like a burger with fries (where i'll only eat a small portion of the fries). Their entrees can feed a small family - i usually end up splitting the Ore Cart with someone else and STILL have leftovers for lunch the next day. The prices can be on the expensive side but then if you divide it by the number of meals it will feed you, then I supposed it's about right. The Prime Discount offers 15% off on your bill. Besides the Ore Cart, I like their Chicken Pot Pie, and their Pot Roast meal. one thing I do like is that while everything else is large, so are the veggies! I enjoy eating their large roasted chunks of veggies as a side. For dessert - if there are a lot of people in the party - we'll generally select the chocolate motherlode cake ( i think this is what it is called) - it has something like 7 layers of chocolate cake with icing all around.

Every once in a while, you go there for birthdays or some craving for meats. It's not healthy since the portions are huge.

Unfortunately I had to visit Claim Jumper again for a business function. This was about the third time I have eaten there and have yet to get what I would consider decent food. Everytime the food has been bland and tasteless. My lastest attempt I got the Rib-Eye which was tough and the blue cheese tasted like sour cream left out on the counter too long. Other dishes I have tried to my dismay were Chicken-Pot Pie and their Calamari dinner. Not a single one of these dishes warrants ever eating there again. The portions are so large they border on hyperbole. Claim Jumper feels like more of a cliche than an eating eastablishment because they focus on the size of the portions and not the quality. It's amazing that this chain still exists as I have been to three different restuarants with the same poor results. Service is average and the menu selection is good, but when the quality of the food is low who cares how many different entrees exist. Just another low-quality american restaurant serving up obesity one platter at a time. Pros: Service was okay. Kids are amazed by the size of the dishes. Cons: Big portions of low-quality (read not tasty) food.

This place has some of the largest portions that I have seen! It is a given that you will walk out with bags of food that you did not finish. The zuchinni spears are a must, and after you leave room for dessert (VERY difficult to do!), go for the biggest piece of choclate cake that you have seen! A slice can be split by a few people easily! If you go during dinner hours be prepared to wait -- it's a very popular place for good reason!

Definitely the words Hefty, Hefty, Hefty comes to mind. I'm referring to the food portions. I think most people can get away with sharing a dish there easily and still leave full. Its obvious that the portions are huge since many people actually take a lot of it home with them if you ever watched them stream out of the restaurant. The menu selection is huge. I would almost compare the size of the menu to that of the Cheesecake Factory. In fact I would almost compare the quality of the food to that of the Cheesecake Factory too. Hmmm wonder if they're owned by the same people. Anyways, the place is for sorts of people --- kids, family, couples, dates, etc. The place is large enough to have this variety. The food is tastey and if you haven't figured it out yet, the portions are huge. Pros: Huge portions, wide selection, dessert scrumptious Cons: Parking is horrible, lines are horribly long - get a reservation

When it first opened, I kept hearing so many good things about it. When I finally went, I definately wasn't disappointed. The food was excellent and the service was ok. Claim Jumper is one of the best American food restaurants that I have been to. Pros: Great food, huge desserts Cons: long wait to be seated during dinner
