Patrons have reported bland and poorly executed dishes, with steaks being particularly uninspiring. The brunch offerings were found lacking, with stale items and inadequate salad bar options, leaving many unsatisfied. While the friendliness of the staff is commendable, the inconsistency in food preparation overshadows the positive aspects. Though some meals, like the fish and chips, received praise, the overall experience fell short of expectations, prompting many to reconsider returning for a special occasion dining experience.
It's ok depending on what you order. The lobster BLT is really good. The pretzel bite appetizer is really yummy. The ribs are very good and tender. One person had the salmon Oscar and really liked it a lot
DINNER WAS GREAT. IT WAS QUIET BUT IT DID GET A LITTLE WARM. I HEARD A GIRL SAY THE AC WAS OUT. BUT IT WASN'T TERRIBLE. DRINKS WERE GOOD. OVERALL THE ONE THING THAT WAS A CONSTANT POSITIVE WAS THE SERVICE. OUR SERVER NAMED CHRISTOPHER WAS EXCELLENT. HE WAS VERY ATTENTIVE, HELPFUL AND SO NICE. CLAIM JUMPER IS GOOD BUT WITH SERVICE LIKE THAT, YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG. THANKS CHRISTOPHER. TIL NEXT TIME.
No Salad Bar: We called a week ahead to make sure the Father 's Day Buffet includes a salad bar. We were told, Yes. We arrived on June 19th to find that the entire salad bar was covered up with empty plates, except for 3 bowls of lettuce. That was a huge letdown. A bowl of lettuce does not make a salad bar. Where are the mushrooms, the broccoli, the tomatoes, potato salad, etc, etc? We went to the Rancho Cucamonga Claim Jumper for Mother 's Day, and they had a full spread of salad bar. What happened in Northridge? On top of that, the salad dressings in Northridge tasted like they came out of a Sysco 5 gallon can poor taste compared to the home made salad dressing used in Rancho Cucamonga. You don 't think your customers know the difference? We do. What 's worse, I heard the hostess telling a customer at the front desk, Yes, we have a salad bar today! How can you lie to people like that, knowing that around the corner is a boarded up salad bar with nothing more than a bowl of lettuce? To top it off, the waitress was pandering to the customers at EVERY table, repeatedly begging them to write a good Yelp review, including HER name, so she could win a $500 scholarship. That 's a spin off of the age old door to door magazine sales scam: I only need one more magazine sale and I 'll win a $500 scholarship! That kind of misreprentation does not belong in a restaurant, and I wonder if Corporate knows what is going on in Northridge Claim Jumper. You must think your customers are a bunch of idiots, to feed us the scholarship scam. This is obtaining Yelp reviews by misrepresentation and fraud.
Salad bar was terrible. Only lettuce and melon. No additional things for salad. Most of the food was cold, maybe burners went out. Pretty disappointed.
The quality of food from previous brunches there seemed to have gotten lesser. Prices are up and we get that, but the quality of food at CJ used to be much better. The services at our table was only so so, the salad bar was only partially stocked and available...I mean we get that prices are up but if you are going to charge someone $40 per person, then there should be fresh vegetables on the bar, and the chicken shouldn't be warmed up from the night before, and the muffins should acutually be toasted ...lots of small things like that along with the quality of the food itself just made it less than stellar. It wasn't a horrible experience or anything, and we certainly ate our meal and celebrated our guest of honor...but it was less than we are accustomed to at CJ....we've always been big fans
