I call it the littlest 99. It's typical 99 fare near where I work. I usually will run in and always sit at the bar to catch the end of a game or have a quick beer and appetizer. I've gone to many 99's where the bartenders are super-friendly and personable. A few times I've gone here I think I just happened to catch them on a bad day. The male bartender was either cranky or seemed a little sarcastic. Another time, the female bartender was really snippy for no apparent reason. However, I do remember once that after we removed a newer appetizer from our order,(dieting reasons!) the manager came over with a small sample, free of charge to show us what we were missing. I thought that was really sweet of her. All in all its a good place when you catch 'em on a good day.
Review Source:These are great restaurants, in general. Â Sit at the bar, keep your choice simple, have a draught beer, and enjoy.
Craving a steak, I headed for this 99 at lunch. Â Great bartender, shockingly good Harpoon Pumpkin UFO. Â And the six ounce sirloin with mashed was perfectly sized, priced, and cooked.
A nice, well-run, welcoming place with real solid food.
I was a little gun-shy going here because we had big problems with the Ninety Nine in Westover. Â However, this is close-by, so we decided to give it a try for lunch.
We were greeted and seated promptly. Â It felt more like a neighborhood diner where the staff knew customers. Â Our waitress was fantastic! Â She gave good suggestions, and always kept the water glass full without me asking! Â
I had the Prime Rib Panini $7.99... would highly suggest this! Â Only available sometimes.
My husband had the new shrimp mac and cheese, which was rich but good. Â He had the jammin crab soup which had a nice mild kick to it. Â The milkshake cake mini for dessert was rich, but good.
Would go again! Â This location has changed my anti-Ninety Nine feelings :)
I got Ninety Nine problems, but this restaurant ain't one...
Pretty soon, it seems my monthly sojourns to the Greater Lowell area will be ending. And what will I miss the most? Honestly, not much! But THIS particular Ninety Nine is on the list.
Not sure I have 99 reasons I love it, but here are 9 (in keeping with the whole "nine" theme):
1 - Free popcorn!! Who cares if I need to floss half of it out of my teeth later on!
2 - Options of 16oz or 24oz beers!! I usually get the large Blue Moon and it hits the spot.
3 - The boneless wings and skins sampler platter. YUM. Comfort food like this is why I have a soft spot for some chain restaurants. This particular appetizer does not disappoint. The quesadilla is bangin good too!
4 - Healthy fit options with calorie counts, for those looking to prepare for bikini season.
5 - Servers like Cindy and Desiree, always smiling and friendly and quick. Cindy cracks us up.
6 - Polite and unmenacing Redsox fans - maybe due to a more civilized Andover crowd!? This Yankees fan appreciates not getting indigestion when a 'Sox game is on.
7 - The super affordable options. This place is VERY fairly priced. Way more preferable to the Longhorn down the road! Big portions (unless you order from the fit menu...duh). Food is pretty standard but done well.
8 - The menu changes fairly frequently, so just when you think you'll be tired of the same items, they change it up on you.
9 - You almost drive right past the place, as its nestled in between 2 residential houses, and a horse farm. Makes it cozy. Feels more like a neighborhood mom'n pop place done well, rather than a chain.
So, if you're near exit 39 on 495, skip the Longhorn for this little gem 1 mile further east down the road!
I shall miss you Ninety Nine of Andover.
I actually don't really remember much about this place, even though I've been there a few times. There are no "mAgiCaL wOnDeRs" here, just some decent food and friendly service.
If I remember correctly, they give you free popcorn to munch on while you wait for your food. That's a nice touch.
Burgers and whatnot are the usual here.
wow! don't virtually hit me, but being in the boondocks of andover for business, i didn't expect to find such a decent restaurant out here. my colleague and i dropped by for dinner, and i was pleasantly surprised by the free popcorn, the not bad spinach & artichoke dip, the good sweet potato fries, and the absolutely delicious hot lobster roll on soft but toasted and buttery white bread. the drinks could've been stronger (strawberry mojito), but hey, for $6.49 a pop, i'm not complaining. plus, overall price was great: we had 1 appetizer, two drinks a person, an entree for me and an appetizer/$9.99 entree/dessert for her, plus another dessert for me (ah, company expense account, how i love thee), and the bill only came to $70! now THAT'S a steal.
i'd be happy to come back!
I've stumbled on this 99 twice cutting from 93 to 495 or vice-versa. Â Both times it was around dinner-time, I was starting to think about food and ( ! ) there it was. Â It pops up, just kind of there all by itself on rt. 133.
This location is small and the parking is pretty much inadequate if the place is full.
I try not to eat at the chains too often, but sometimes I'm just more interested in a known quantity when it's been a long day...
What I've gotten both times I've eaten here: Â Fish Tacos. Â I haven't run across them anywhere else in Mass and they do an acceptable job on them.
This location has been heavy handed with the Cilantro, easy enough to pick off, but you don't load up a Taco with Cilantro as if it's Lettuce. Â Unless you're fond of heartburn-serve with a side of Pepcid AC.
