It's Apple Blossom time! It's Cajun week! Let's party!

Seriously, could the timing be any better for Apple Blossom weekend?  McGill's is THE spot to be this weekend.  Not only is it Cajun week, which is pretty exciting on its own, but we're talking mardi gras time!  Yes sirrr-eeeee, Saturday evening come to McGill's to enjoy our Cajun cookin' and then continue the party upstairs at The Junkyard!  But remember to wear beads.  Why?  You wear beads, your first drink upstairs is half price.  It's sure to be lots of fun this Saturday at McGill's and The Junkyard!  Come on in, the gators are friendly!

Making its rare appearance only in months with a fifth week, the Cajun menu is always a fun treat.  If you are looking to try something different, this is the week to do it.  Oysters, crab cakes, gumbo, jambalaya . . . definitely not your everyday food.  And just in case you had your heart set on trying frogs' legs, the kitchen assures me they have some.  So, no excuses.  I love the spiciness of this food.  It's just fun, fun, fun!  And we all need just a little more fun in our lives, right?

I hope you will be joining us.  I guarantee the food will be spectacular, the atmosphere cozy and intimate, making for a relaxed dining experience.  And remember you can enjoy this flavourful cuisine three nights this week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  All our dishes are freshly prepared, but the wait is so worth it!  You don't want to miss your opportunity to try some Cajun cooking.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  You'll find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  We'd love to have you join us.
