A new fast-casual restaurant from the Texas Roadhouse brand is expanding into the Triangle.
Jaggers already has a presence in North Carolina, specifically in Greenville, Fayetteville and Jacksonville. But the Raleigh restaurant would be the brand’s first in the Triangle.
Texas Roadhouse’s public relations team confirmed a Raleigh location to The News & Observer in an email but did not share an opening date or other details.
Records obtained by The N&O show construction plans have been submitted for Jaggers on Glenwood Avenue. Permit applications show that the restaurant plans to demolish the old Mami’s Latin Style Rotisserie Chicken restaurant at 6711 Glenwood Ave. and build a new structure with a drive-thru. Part of the drive-thru will be built on a parking lot adjacent to the existing Mami’s restaurant.
The City of Raleigh’s online development portal shows that the applications are in review but have not yet been issued as of publication.
Mami’s opened the Glenwood Avenue restaurant in 2019. Within a day after the long-awaited Glenwood location opened, an electrical fire broke out and damaged part of the building. The restaurant closed and never reopened, The N&O previously reported.
There are several restaurants in the vicinity of the Jaggers site, including McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A locations.
Triangle Business Journal first reported news of Jaggers plans in Raleigh.
What is Jaggers?
First established in Noblesville, Indiana, in 2014, Jaggers is distinct from its Texas Roadhouse sister brand.
At Texas Roadhouse, which is headquartered in Kentucky, diners are greeted with the sound of country music, the sight of neon signs and Western decor and, in a previous era, peanut shells strewn across the floor. Once seated, they can taste foods including hot yeast rolls, steaks, ribs and baked potatoes.
What’s on the Jaggers menu?
Jaggers strays from the Western theme and limits is menu to fare more traditionally associated with fast food: burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders and milkshakes.
The restaurant offers a black bean veggie burger, $8, along with options featuring classic toppings such as cheeses, mushrooms, bacon and fried egg.
The most expensive burger is the bacon avocado burger, available for $10, according to the Fayetteville location’s online menu.
Grilled and fried chicken sandwiches are priced at less than $9. Salads with grilled and fried chicken or ground beef are less than $10. Chicken tenders are sold in four-piece, six-piece and 10-piece meals, while bigger portions are available for larger groups.
Shoestring fries, tater tots, fruit and mac and cheese are sold as sides. For dessert, Jaggers offers cookies and milkshakes in classic flavors along with cookies and cream, chocolate chip cookie and banana split.
