Claim Jumper is a restaurant chain headquarted in Irvine, California with 44 locations in Arizona, California, Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon. The first Claim Jumper opened in Los Alamitos, California in 1977. The restaurants typically have a California Gold Rush theme. They are known for fairly large portions of their dishes. They are also known for the level of detail in their atmospheres. The large menu features a wide range of foods, but focuses mainly on meats such as steaks, ribs, and their Chocolate Motherlode cake, which comes in six or three layer sizes. Each restaurant also features a full "saloon" bar which includes signature drinks. Claim Jumper also produces a line of frozen dinners, which are sold in grocery stores.
Claim Jumper also has a program once a year called "Tip-A-Cop" which aids the Law Enforcement Torch Run, a day when sheriffs and children with disabilities come in and help serve the guests, with all of the tips donated to the Special Olympics.
