I'm surprised they're still around. The location I used to frequent in the mid-late '90s (Torrance, CA) closed. Keep in mind that joint was jumping and there was always a wait to get in, so they really shit the bed. Probably more corporate-level bedshitting than that location. There's only 4 left in California.
Great call. I remember going to Claim Jumper was such a big deal when I was a kid, and now I cant remember the last time I went to one. I drive out to the desert a lot, so pass the one off the 10 freeway in San Bernardino a lot, so in my mind it is still a thing. But you are right, there are only 3 total left in the entire greater LA metro area.



Here is another one that was a big deal to me growing up, that recently closed all their remaining So Cal locations for good. As a kid the idea that I could pour as much liquid cheese and ketchup on my burger and fries as I wanted was just mind blowing great.

I actually went to the one in Ontario Mills right before it closed for good a few years ago, and thought it was a pretty good experience still.
