Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill Kitchener Contest
Sweetheart Of A Contest
Happy Valentine's Day
We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes we did receive a complimentary meal, but this just means we're able to offer you a chance at a FREE MEAL TOO! Enter the contest at the end of this post!
Our favorite appetizer is DEEP FRIED PICKLES from Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill. We have tried them other places, but none of the compare to the flavorful Turtle Jack's Deep Fried Pickles. When this opportunity came to us you know we were thrilled!
There are so many things to love about Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill in Kitchener!
When we started the convo on twitter yesterday about the Deep Fried Pickles at Turtle Jack's many had yet to try them, but said that it's on their list for their next visit!
Deep Fried Pickles were just some of the delicious items we had!
Diane had her favorite Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
and I got adventurous and tried the Four Cheese Cajun Chicken Penne. Both entrees were delish!
We were stuffed! Or so we thought until they said Deep Fried Cheesecake!
Of course we had to get some of that! Let's just say if you're at Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill in Kitchener, you will leave with a happy tummy!
Wondering where Turtle Jack's is in Kitchener? It's just off Highway 8/Old King St. If you're our age, head to Lulu's plaza and you can't miss it! You can learn more about Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill by visiting their fan page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Turtle-Jacks-Muskoka-Grill-Kitchener/168806269812836?fref=ts
You'll be glad you went especially now with their Tuesday offer! You get a choice of appetizer (might I suggest Deep Fried Pickles), 2 entrees and a dessert for $50
Want to know what makes it a sweetheart of a contest? You could pay for that meal by winning a $50 gift card (note taxes/tip would be extra). Just enter the Rafflecopter contest below (it may take a minute to load). One of the bonus questions is what your favorite appetizer is.
