Claim Jumper

Claim Jumper is the only business on the ten-best list that offers different menu selections for younger and older children. Its menu options are wide, with 15 entrees and 10 sides. While there is some standard stuff available, the build-your-own pizza, frozen grapes, bean-and-cheese burrito, and grilled chicken breast are more interesting selections. There's even a kid-friendly dessert: frozen chocolate-banana bites.

Children under the age of two are given a complimentary plate of turkey, cheese, applesauce, and mandarin orange slices since the business believes that even the smaller kids' meals are too large for toddlers. Other considerate elements include changing tables in the women's and men's toilets, as well as a no-smoking policy for the whole franchise. There are 45 restaurants across eight states. Reservations and call-ahead seating are welcome at all locations.
