Unfortunately have to change my review for this 2941, because of my experience last night.
To be clear: the food is still 5/5 for me. Make sure to ASK for the samoon chips, because they don't just give them to you with your meals anymore, it seems like - those things are like bagel chips and are delicious. Last night I got a chicken sandwich with garlic and tandoori sauces, plus plenty of green tomatoes, which was delicious, but they are pricey now too: $12.49 for a sandwich or about $15 for a bowl. There are also mini bowl options.
So I got an email saying that 2941 was running a holiday gift card deal: you can buy two $25 gift cards for $40 (thus, saving $10). I was interested in doing this yesterday IF I could use the gift cards toward my + my boyfriend's meals yesterday, figuring the meals would run us about $30.
I'm not sure if the staff there is new or what, but no one knew what I was talking about. The cashier thought I wanted to USE a gift card - I said, no, I'd like to purchase these (showing her the screenshot from my phone). Another employee, who seemed to be a manager or a higher-level employee, looked at my screenshot, but said she wasn't sure she could do that, and didn't want to overcharge me (I do appreciate that), and she'd have to call her boss - she said her boss would be in the next day (today) and I could call then.
(However, that would negate why I wanted the gift cards THAT day ... I also asked if she could just ring up a gift card sale and then I could use them that same day, and she said NO, you'd have to come back another day to use them, which makes zero sense. At most businesses I've been to, if you buy a gift card, you can definitely use it the same day).
She did give me a discount because of the hassle - I believe 10% off, it looks like Beaumont employees and firefighters get that discount - which was nice. But if you are a business sending out a gift card offer, especially with certain terms (Dec. 16-18 only, it said), I fully expect you to honor it, so that was really disappointing. I'm leaving 2941 with 3/5 stars, however, since the food is so good, albeit pricey ... I want to say their "Stuf-It Sandwich" used to be maybe $10-11 and now is $12.50.
