New Fast Food Restaurant--Jaggers

by Terri Beam » Mon Dec 28, 2020 2:03 pm

I'm kind of surprised nobody has posted about this.

Jaggers, a burger/chicken/salad joint, opened a couple weeks ago on Dutchmans (technically the address is on New Dutchmans Parkway). I'd been watching the construction for a few months. It's adjacent to Panera, Mangos, and a relatively new Starbucks location. It takes up some of the land previously used by Texas Roadhouse, which makes sense since the owner of TR is the owner of Jaggers.

We've been by twice for pick-up (no dine-in) and have been very pleased with the burgers and chicken. They're running their drive-through much like Chick-Fil-A does. Demand has been very high, as the line wraps around the building most nights. I noticed while we waited to give our order that the McDonald's across the way was virtually empty.

I had the Crazy Good Cheeseburger (all burgers are double) while my fiance had the Green Chile Cheeseburger. If you need your sinuses cleared, I recommend that one. The burgers taste a lot like the old school mom & pop diner burgers from long ago. The fries are shoestring fries ala Steak N Shake, but have more seasoning and are crispier than that competitor's product. They also have tator tots, fruit cup, mac & cheese, and edamame (!) for sides. I've tried the mac & cheese, but I'm a toddler when it comes to some textures, and the curly macaroni didn't work for me.

I also tried a 4 piece order of the chicken tenders, and they were somewhat spicy but good. There's a choice of many different sauces (including country gravy!). The tenders are juicier than what I've gotten at Raising Canes and Zaxbys.

For the more health-conscious crowd, there are 4 salads to choose from. The Berry Fresh Salad looks amazing, but when I go to a burger joint, salad is usually last on my mind.

For the not health-conscious crowd, they have several milkshakes that look divine (Ghiradelli Brownie is on my list to try), along with brownies and cookies. Kids meals are also available.

As I understand it this is the third location in a growing chain (others are in Noblesville and Indianapolis), but since Texas Roadhouse was founded here, I consider it local. I highly recommend it, but please be prepared for a bit of a wait in that drive-through lane as food is all cooked when ordered. Some reviewers on Google and Yelp were saying the wait was an hour right after they opened. That is not the case now. I'd say it's at about 15 minutes on a Saturday evening which isn't horrible. People definitely weren't bailing out of line to head across to McDonalds!

Thanks for a really clear and thorough review, Terri. I confess that I'd been steering clear just because of the chain look, but that's not really fair. Based on your review, I might have to reconsider that!
