The Majestic Grille will do its annual 50% off gift card sale Wednesday, December 3 beginning at 9 AM. These things are a great deal. You buy them in $50 increments, paying $25 for each increment. The catch is, you can’t use them until January 2, 2009, but once it’s next year you’ll be able to enjoy Patrick’s amazing filet for an effective price in the low teens. Or you can get one of the best burgers Downtown for an effective price of only four bucks. Or their delicious whole roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes for an effective price under ten… you get the idea.
These things will sell out fast. Last year I seem to remember them running out around 1 PM. I predict it’ll happen even faster this year, now that the Majestic tied for Best Restaurant in the Flyer poll. Best advice for those who don’t work Downtown: Go in late to work and show up right at 9 to buy gift cards. If that isn’t possible, take your lunch break right at 11 and hurry Downtown.
Last year, I took $125 down there and bought $250 in gift cards, and as a result was able to enjoy many good dinners there in 2008. I still have about 80 bucks left on last year’s gift card sale. Note that the gift cards can’t be used to purchase alcohol; if that were possible, there’s no way I’d still have $80 left to spend. This is a rule made by the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission, not the owners of the Majestic.
This sale, by the way, is not affiliated with the Restaurant.com discount gift certificate program I sometimes mention. This is the Majestic’s in-house program, and to be honest, it’s better than Restaurant.com’s program because it’s simpler to use.
Back with more news about happenings at the Majestic, but this gift card program is one of the best things of the year and warranted a post of its own. I’ll have news about an upcoming event at the Rooster too.
