Claim Jumper - La Mesa

Since the pandemic, this restaurant has really improved. The food was excellent, particularly the perfectly cooked steaks. The wedge salad and onion rings were also delicious. The service was top-notch, with a very attentive waiter. Highly recommend this place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We went out of our way to find a salad bar buffet and drove 30 minutes to this restaurant specifically for it. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find that the lettuce was starting to brown and limp, and the cucumbers and onions looked a bit sad. Despite the late hour (8pm), we expected the food to be fresh or replaced. On the bright side, the double lobster tails for $28 were fantastic and definitely worth the trip. Additionally, the chicken pot pie was absolutely delicious. #lobster #potpie #saladbar

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday morning and was pleased to find only one other family in the dining room. The service and staff were outstanding, as always. The salad bar is now available, unfortunately there is no buffet at the moment, and it is unclear if it will return. They no longer accept reward program but have introduced their own program which offers a $10 discount if you spend $30 on food or drinks.

Claim jumper in La Mesa never disappoints! I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was so good!! My server, Dutch was great- my diet coke never got to fully empty before it was refilled, and he had the answer to every question I had about the menu. Themanager, Natalie came around to check on everyone. All in all, good customer service and great food!

This was one of the worst dining experiences of my life. The waiter got our drinks when we were seated. The food took 45 minutes and he never asked once if we needed anything or a refill. My steak had 2 pieces of hair on the side of it. The sides werelukewarm. The waiter never checked on us. We got the check, paid, and left. I have frequented this location for decades andeveryone who ate there tonight agreed that we would not return.
