We happened upon Jags by pure happenstance tonight, the night before Thanksgiving, while traveling to family for the holiday. We were stuck in traffic on 75N and decided we didn’t have it in us to make it all the way to Fort Wayne. 11 hours for a normal 6.5 hour trip is just ridiculous. We booked the Staybridge and I booked a bar reservation at Jags thanks to reviews here, not even realizing it was in the same parking lot! What a fortunate surprise! From walking in the door, to our experience with Dan and his colleague, a lovely gal with rooster earrings, but I can’t recall her name for the life of me, everything was absolutely phenomenal!! The crab bisque, filet and crab cake, the sides, the CARROT CAKE! The espresso martini the Weller CYPB…all of it top notch! Don’t even hesitate or question it. Just go!

Everything was great. It’s expensive but so worth it. Split a delicious salad with bruleed goat cheese and pears as well as steak frites which was made with a strip steak. 10 out of 10 on everything.
