Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub

A Westerner's view on 99:

I expected this place to be like your run of the mill Applebee's, or TGIFriday's or some such. I was pleasantly surprised at my first visit and thought it was actually a good bit better.

Something delightfully different is that you get a bowl of popcorn at the beginning of your meal. You New England folk probably don't find this as fascinating as I do, but I have never seen popcorn given pre meal. Chips and salsa? Sure. Bread/rolls? A boring staple. Whole peanuts where you can throw the shells on the floor? Absolutely. But popcorn? A nice, simple, and different treat. I liked it!

My wife and I both had salads. I had the tropical chicken and the wife had the fiesta. Both were great, with a good amount of chicken, and around $11 a plate. Very affordable, with some good flavors throughout. I was tempted to go with the lobster roll, but teetering over 1k calories and dozens of grams of fat (the hot buttered roll is just under 100grams... NO JOKE) I decided I had better not. I think I will try the plain cold lobster salad which has much less fat and is a bit healthier next time.

Overall please. We had been putting off coming here since we really don't fancy chains such as Applebee's, but I am sure we will come again. Service was friendly and food was fast to boot!

I have been here many times. Never really had a bad meal but nothing too spectacular. Lobster roll seemed like it was just pulled out of the microwave. Apps are mediocre at best. Staff was personable in dining room  but at bar non attentive. Would go back due to prices and a filling meal.

I opted for the new menu item, Brushetta Chicken.  OMG.  It was excellent.  Tender chicken topped with mozzarella, tomatoes, grilled asparagus, and balsamic glaze.  Perfect.  I usually stay away from prime rib because I'm so often disappointed, but hubby gave it a try.  Naturally, I wanted a taste.  I have to say that I have never had such a tender and flavorful piece of prime rib.  It was cooked to perfection and hubby could cut it with a fork. Our server, Erika was top notch.  Hats off to The 99 Restaurant for friendly service, delicious food and great prices.
