I didn't mention this in the last blog, but I am obsessed with all different types of music, so with every restaurant, I will associate with a song.
Restaurant #1- Claim Jumper
Location: Central Tucson (3671 E Broadway Blvd)
Other locations: California, Washington, Illinois, Nevada and Colorado
Cuisine: American
Theme: Gold Rush (western/ranch). As the name implies, a claim jumper is an individual who illegally claims land.
Price: Moderate (entrees between $12.00 - $26.00)
Happy Hour: Drinks and Appetizers
Parking: Easy
Cleanliness: Very Clean
Service and Staff: Youthful, knowledgeable and friendly.
Seating: Cozy. To the left of the waiting area there is a grand room with a huge fireplace in0 the center. To the right of the waiting room, there is a bar and outdoor/indoor patio. Very spacious and has the ability to hold large parties comfortably.
Bathrooms: Are clean with an upscale, early 1900's feel. The floor is to die for.......
Most popular item: The Killer, over indulgent "Mother Load" chocolate cake, that consists of rich chocolaty cake, mixed with chocolate morsels and stacked six layers high, with creamy milk chocolate frosting and walnuts drizzled down the side of this tower of terror. Any chocolate lovers dream!
The opposite side of the spectrum, my favorite dish is the Cobb salad. One of the best Cobb salads in Tucson, even the small is twice the size of a regular salad. The salad has hard boiled eggs, blue cheese crumbles, bacon, tomatoes, avocado and grilled chicken. This salad comes with the danish bleu cheese dressing; however I enjoy this salad with Caesar or Italian dressing.
Other Favorites: Alfredo sauce is creamy and sinfully rich and the ribs are decent.
Song: "Home on the Range"
Stars: 3.75 stars
Last Words: Looking for a great salad and a cozy, family orientated atmosphere... go to Claim Jumper. It's a far cry from your average Sizzler!!!
