I'm not usually a big fan of chain resaurants, so my recent visit to Reno's Claim Jumper was a pleasant surprise. We went on a Saturday night and were seated immedately. The server quickly took our drink orders and had water on the table in the first 5 minutes. I ordered the crab cakes and cedar plank grilled salmon... both were enjoyable. The crab cakes are lightly seasoned and browned; good but missing some kick if eaten alone. The cakes are served with two dipping sauces and fresh mixed greens. Both sauces were enjoyable, but could use just a touch less mayonaise. The greens helped to make the dish as they were fresh and crisp. The salmon was seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly, topped with a mango salsa. The mountainous side of white rice could be toned down a bit, but a great, light dish overall. Being new to the Reno area as Bay Area transplants, we've had some challenges in finding good eats, so Claim Jumper was certainly a relief.
Pros: Easy parking, good service, good food

The food here is alwasy fantastic! And you'll never leave hungry - the portions are enormous! The service is friendly and prompt. The ambiance is fun, but not over the top! In a restaurant wasteland like Reno, I highly recommended it! Oh, and the Widow Maker Burger is out of this world!
Pros: The food is always great!
Cons: The wait can be a while - make reservations!
