I just wanted to say I've always loved the 99(especially this one) and it's always felt homey and just plain nice. It's clean, the food is great and the portions are plentiful. A great bar too! What stands out most about this location is the wonderful staff,especially, Sheerre, our waitress last night. My parents and I were there for a low key Easter get away later on in the evening and Sheerre truly went out of her way to make sure we were all satisfied and had a great time. This meant a lot! This type of extra great service just doesn't happen these days. I'm so happy to have this particular 99 so close by!
Review Source:What I like: the price and quantity of food you get. Quality isn't too bad. I like that there are no waits and are usually quick to get your drinks. The food usually comes out pretty fast also.
What I don't like: the mediocre service which usually comes with chain restaurants. I asked for a seat for my infant and she brought me a dining chair then looked frustrated when she realized that she didn't listen to me. The waitresses are overall efficient but not friendly and most of them aren't knowledgeable of the menu. I came in here one time and asked what the soup of the day was and she said "I don't know, it's on this page". Like, really?
With that being said, there was one waitress who was absolutely wonderful. She wasn't serving us but she still made conversation with us and was constantly around her tables. Her name is Deb. Very sweet, and I was told she works both lunch and dinner shifts.
The $9.99 combos are great, and there are plenty of options for everyone. I like the steak because it's a small portion so I don't feel too guilty. I like the add combo feature and have a salad and then a mini desert. I really haven't ever had a "bad" meal, so I'll be coming back. Just don't expect stellar service, otherwise you will be disappointed.
This 99 has great waitresses. Â Ask for Deb, she is hilarious! Â She puts a smile on anyone's face! Â Food is typical 99 food, $1.99 Bud Select is a deal. Â Worcester is really lacking for good restaurants, 99 is great because it has take out and they always want your experience with them to be top-notch so are quick to make up for any mistakes. Â Have watched games here when cable was unavailable and the atmosphere is always fun in the bar during games! Â Tons of TVs.
Review Source:I think the 99 is my favorite of the casual dining chain restaurant set. The food is decent, the interior is clean and modern, and the prices are reasonable. I also like the healthy options choices on their menu. This location is no exception - friendly service at the bar and a manager who actually went around talking to diners to see how their meal was. You don't see that often in a chain restaurant.
Review Source:What can you say, it's the 99. Â When the choice is mine, I won't pick a chain, but it wasn't my choice. The service is polite and professional, the food came out quick. I had the lobster roll, which was quite large and came with fries and cole slaw. It is almost entirely claw and knuckle meat, I couldn't pick out any tail meat, so if you are looking for some tail, this isn't the place for you.
The good thing of course is day after a Sox win, kids eat free.
