Excellent
The food here is exceptional. Portions are huge and cooked home-style. The wait staff is friendly, and is always ready to bring you a new drink or appetizer. The drink list is huge, and happy hour appetizers are cheap and delicious.

Although the decor is incredibly festive in wild west style, the chandeliers made of antlers bothered my vegetarian friends.    [25 Jul 2002 12:45:48]

Service
We have been to the Claim Jumper several times since the Tukwila opening. We spend a minimum of $100 dollars each time we go. On 2/9/04 we arrived at the Claim Jumper at 5:00 P.M. We told the Hostess we had a party of seven. The place was not even half full and the hostess said all they had available for seating was a booth with an added chair in the isle way. I asked for one of the bigger tables in the center of the floor, none of them were being used. She told us it would be at least a half hour wait to be seated at the larger tables. My son said he would sit in the isle chair because her was to hungry to wait.
The entire time we were there, not one of the large tables were used. The result is that we were being treated like second hand citizens in a restaurant that does not even take reservations.
Because of this unfair treatment I would have to rate the service in this place very low. In comparison, there are many other steakhouses in the area that cater to large parties with more respect.    [10 Feb 2004 09:51:58]
