My Personal Favorite!

The Claim Jumper Restaurant is one of my personal favorites! It has the ambiance of the classy restaurant you would pick for a night out with that special someone, mixed with a convenient and friendly environment to bring your two year old along. Its the best of both worlds and a perfect pick for the whole family!

And that is not even mentioning the tasty food! They offer a complimentary food plate for little toddlers and babies along with a place mat that STICKS to the table, crackers, a plastic bib, crayons, and a "Little Jumpers menu" with pictures to color. Its enough to keep any kid entertained while we get to actually enjoy our meal!

The adult menu is a delicious mix of American cuisine and pizza, pasta, steak and seafood.

The entrees run anywhere from $8.95-$26.95 (for some of the pricier things like Steak & Seafood) But most of it is pretty reasonable between $9.00-$14.00

You can also get take out and order online! http://www.claimjumper.com/

My personal favorite: Sourdough Bread Bowl with Baked Potato Cheddar

The whole experience is really delightful from the big cozy fireplace to the elk horn chandlers and the game of checkers you can play while you wait for your table. There are clean restrooms with changing tables available and my husband and my kids favorite part were the root beer barrels instead of mints.
