The 99 is one of the chains that is usually a good stop if you don't want to wait for something better. Great for families with kids as they have a few options specifically for them. The $14.99 menu is perfect for the 55+ crowd with plenty of decent options. It's your typical chain atmosphere. If you like a rare or nearly rare prime rib, do not order theirs. It was so dry that I just couldn't eat it. The chicken teriyaki was a repeat order that was enjoyed once again. Final point just watch what you order and you'll be fine. read more

Some 99's are better than others. This one is middle of the road. Food and service was good, don't have the homey feel to it like most do, but still okay and eat and dine comfortably. They close a little earlier than would like, but it is what it is. read more

We love getting take and delivery from here - there are so many delicious options! The potato skins and chicken wrap are faves but today we decided to try out the pulled pork mac & cheese, and seafood stuffie. The mac & cheese had good flavor and the pickled jalapeños gave it a nice kick. I liked the crunch and texture of the seafood stuffie but my fiancé was not the biggest fan. He is definitely in love with the potato skins, so I'm glad we got those as an app. If you are able to pick up at the restaurant, I definitely recommend ordering directly from their website so you aren't charged the delivery app up charge. But if you need delivery, then DoorDash is a great app to use too. read more

I go to 99 restaurants due to nostalgic reasons. Service has always been great in everyone I have been. Food is ok if you are in the area but not to travel to go to this location for. Issue we encounter visiting this location: they didn't have bake potatoes and desserts options were limited. Pro. Great Customer Service Parking Cons. Food wasn't the best. I'm a 99 Fan I will continue visiting their locations even though I agree with yelp it is a 3 restaurant. read more

No one can really do things like they used to. Made an online order. Two burgers. Called with the name on order and order number and asked to have the buns put on the side because it's a pickup order and online won't let you make notes on your orders. They said they would make that happen. Pick it up drive 25 minutes home buns are on the burgers complete mush. You would have seriously thought we asked them to learn rocket science. I've worked in the industry. Not that hard for a simple request on an order. Makes you think if they would get it right when being informed of an allergy. Unprofessional on the staff. Food was also nothing great even if buns were fine. read more

The food was great! The service was fast and professional and the ambiance was just wonderful with a real sincere effort to support the community and sports in the area. The prices for the 4 meals was very reasonable for the quality of the food. The steak tips were tasty and tender, the coleslaw was perfect just as the country fried chicken was moist with a perfectly breaded Panko crust. It was a Tuesday at about 6 pm and you know the food is good when a huge parking lot had limited parking spots. It was a wonderful meal and all 4 of us were happy with our meals. The dessert was also top notch. A moist vanilla cake with layered strawberry topped with whip cream. Check out the pictures. If you haven't been here, i recommend it. And if you haven't been here in a while, I suggest you try it once again. I know we will go back. read more

So First Off Despite the 3 Stars I give 5 Stars and Two Thumbs Up to the waitress and staff the $4.99 Margarita is really good The Haddock with the Seafood Trio is delicious the shrimp was over cooked and kind of chewy but the Haddock was seriously delicious I give that a 5 Star all day the Seafood Chowder was extremely creamy its good as well but definitely room for improvement the Fisherman's Feast The Coleslaw, Seafood Chowder and The Seafood Stuffies were the best part of the meal the fried schrod and the fried shrimp were over taken by the breading and really didn't have any flavor everything was $56(Without tip), I got 2 Margaritas wifey got a Sprite and we got the Seafood Trio and Fisherman's Feast to split we will definitely be going back to try 99s Steak,Burgers and Ribs and I look forward to (hopefully) giving this 5 stars in the future read more

This restaurant is a chain and is good. The food was decent. What I really thought was cool, was the decor. They do a lot for the local community and it shows. The desert was amazing!!! Definitely the worth saving room for. It was a hot chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron skillet topped with vanilla ice cream. So delicious. read more

I visited here one evening for dinner. I sat at the bar and ordered their Fire Grilled Cobb Salad: Romaine lettuce, roasted sweet corn, crumbled bleu cheese, smoked bacon, chopped egg, fire grilled plum tomatoes, asparagus and grilled chicken and served with chipotle honey mustard dressing. The salad dressing was to sweet and rather unremarkable - it sounded better than it actually was. The salad components were fine - something about the salad did not click with my tastebuds - overall rather ordinary. Service was good. read more

I have to say that I went to the 99 in Dover NH with my husband, we had the most amazing waitress Jackie she was pleasant, caring, top notch we have not had service like this in years she just was awesome thank you 99 Jackie is special hope we have her again. read more

There was a 99 restaurant conveniently located in the parking lot of the hotel in which we were staying in Dover NH so my daughters and I took the short walk over for dinner. We were presented with a bowl of fresh popcorn as we were seated which didn't last long, our returned shortly thereafter to take our order. As a starter we order the nachos. They came out in ~10 minutes and were very good. I wasn't very hungry and ordered the black bean burger sans bun which came topped with pico and guacamole. I thought it was pretty tasty. As a beverage I had the woodford bourbon sour smash and liked it so much I had a second :-) read more

My experience at the 99 restaurant was amazing. Our server, i believe her name was Abby, was phenomenal!!!! Very friendly and kind. the food was so quick too! Not too noisy and everyone seemed very friendly in the staff, overall a very good location and I would come here again if all servers were like Abby! read more

We ate dinner here five times while on vacation. They make the best fish tacos and fried shrimp! Service was great too!

I love the 99 for lunch in Dover, NH. My 92 y.o. Mom and I dine here frequently for lunch. We just wish they would serve Potato Soup here!! (And without putting Spicy stringy cheese in it like Applebee's does! Can't stand Potato Soup made with cheese in it or on it!! ) What's so wrong with Potato Soup?? We would very much like to see Potato Soup added to the 99's menu!! I'm sure it would be a big hit! It seems to be popular everywhere else in other restaurants in the area. I won't rate the Ninety-nine restaurant, 5 until they serve Potato Soup regularly on their lunch menu!!!! read more

Food was not good, veggies were not steamed enough, very undercooked. Might want to simplify your menu and do a few meals good and don't worry about to many choices read more

This relates to the Dover NH location. We sat at the bar as we usually do, around 6-7pm on a Saturday night. It was not overly busy. Our bartender/server was not overly friendly, but the real kicker was when collecting our tab. Our bill was $50+ and we put in a $12 tip, all cash. A respectable 20% tip for slinging us 2 beers and our entrees. The bartender asked if we needed change, we said no it was all set, and she replied "ok" and grabbed it and walked off. Literally that was it. No thank you, no have a nice night. Nothing. Why on earth would I ever go back there again? I won't. read more

I used to really enjoy going to the 99 once in a while, but the last couple times I've tried, it's been very disappointing. We ordered takeout once during the pandemic and the steak I received was so tough and rubbery it was literally inedible- I couldn't even cut it, and ended up feeding it to my dog. We dined in today for the first time in a couple of years and learned that the menu has been reduced by about two thirds of what it used to be, and there's nothing particularly impressive left. I had chicken tenders and fries, and while there was nothing really WRONG with the food, it wasn't anything to write home about either. I'm hoping things improve in the future, but if not, I won't be likely to return. read more

I've gone here a few times and everything has been decent. Tonight was absolutely terrible. I came in for food and drinks, ordered a drink, and then waited over 30 min for the bartender Jordan to come by so that I can order food. I ended up putting my card out ready to check out so I can go somewhere else with better/any service at all and of course that took a while to happen. I was a bartender/server for 6 years in a similar type of restaurant, I understand you get busy.. but a customer shouldn't have to almost grab the hostess to have to cash out in their tab. Will not be coming back here any time soon. If you can't handle a Covid full bar with multiple open seats then not sure how you would be able to handle a normal Friday night. read more

We ordered takeout here and the food was so disappointing for the cost. I ordered the royal sirloin and it was over cooked and had no seasoning whatsoever- it tasted like a dirty grill. The cut of meat was also not great and had lots of hard gristle. The mashed potatoes were cold. Overall for the price you'd hope for something better. Can't say we'll be back again unfortunately. Staff was friendly at least! read more

I just did not like attitude of the employees, it's hard to put it into words it was how I was first treated as I walked in. Just wasn't a warm fuzzy welcome. Food was just fine nothing really outstanding. Just did not feel like I was wanted as a guest. read more

This place has only 3 stars, and I can see why...service!! The greeting was fine and friendly along with the server. But the service was awful. We got seated 30 minutes prior to closing. When we got seated the server asked if we wanted a drink and some popcorn. We've never eaten at a Ninety Nine restaraunt before, being from the west coast they're not out there, so the popcorn offer was strange. We ordered drinks, and said yes to the popcorn. Jordan, our server, brought the drinks and NO popcorn. "Okay, no biggie" we thought, so we ordered our meal. The meal came out in a reasonable time. Jordan checked on us after the food was delivered to bring us ketchup. During dinner I finished my drink. I asked Jordan for a refill, and she said ok. Watching her run around I was thinking she'll bring my drink at some point. But it didnt happen. It seemed that clearing tables was more important than attending to her customers. She was more focused on her closing duties than finishing her job as a server. When I mentioned to her she'd forgot my drink refill and the popcorn, her response "I know, I'm sorry, I got busy". What? Are you kidding me? Isnt that YOUR JOB...to remember your customers needs? Do you think giving lip service is acceptable? By the other reviews on Ninety Nine restaraunts, bad service and attitudes are quite common. If you've never eaten here, be prepared for a first time, last time experience. Hopefully you don't get a bad server like Jordan. The food was great, but the service just simply sucked!! How hard is it to remember a drink refill? Not very! It's my last time I'll ever eat at a Ninety Nine restaraunt. There are other restaraunts to chose from that give better service in all aspects along with good food...and without attitudes. read more

I am traveling for work and haven't been to a 99 Restaurant in a few years. I walked into the restaurant tonight, 5/7 around 6:30pm, and was greeted with a smile and friendly Hello.

This place has never been my fave but it had been a while so I thought I'd give it another shot. Oh well, same old same old. My tips had some pieces that had gristle and they were a little rare for medium rare. My friend's steak was also undercooked as it was also too rare for medium. Pasta was a side dish and I was served a bowl of plain cooked ziti??? I asked for butter and that spruced it up with some salt. The little desserts and the tator tots were quite tasty as were the sparkling fruit drinks. Our server warmed up as time went on. Not my favorite chain that's for sure. Did I mention they were out of Diet Coke? read more

Our server was so friendly and sweet! But I ordered the Twin Catch... and there was an INSANE AMOUNT OF OIL!!! The fish and shrimp were dripping, and the breadcrumbs got soggy from sitting in it. It was 100% tasteless. It was so disappointing. read more

I've been going to this 99 for years both dining in and taking out and it's usually been about a 3 star restaurant. Tonight however was a totally different story. Actually it's the 2nd to-go order in a row that has been terrible! I ordered the fish tacos and the shrimp fajitas. Both items were missing ingredients, the fish which is supposed to be fried scrod was actually what looked and tasted like baked tilapia. Judge for yourself. I included the 99 photo and the photo of what I received. read more

Today was my first time here. I ordered the fish and chips and am less than underwhelmed. The breading was way too salty and overdone and tasted like it was cooked in old oil. The fish itself was flaky and okay. Their menu looks great so would definitely return for a second chance. Hopefully my experience is not the norm. read more

I have been to a lot of 99 restaurant's and definitely enjoy all each has to offer in reference to food. The only reason I give this place a terrible review and would give worse if I was able too is because the manager is not a family man and treated me as if I was a lesser person and spoke to my children in a bad way which I did not appreciate. The employees seemed to be embarrassed by his behavior and the other guests definitely did not appreciate how he spoke down to people. I really enjoy 99 restaurant's and am considering opening one in my area but the way one of the managers at this particular location handles people because of his own insecurities is disappointing. Again the food is great but management is lacking. read more

I've been to tons of 99s in my life and never have been treated so poorly by a hostess followed by a manager. I was skipped over 5 times while waiting to be seated then asked to speak with a manager. After speaking with the most insincere manager I've ever spoken to in any industry I was offered a free app. I declined this offer as the real issue was the hostess and front end of the location. The manager consistently made excuses as to why it happened rather than being professional and accepting responsibility for their locations error and addressing the actual issue at hand. The only member of the staff I was thrilled with was the server who did a fantastic job. I would not recommend this 99 location to anyone. It's well worth the commute to go somewhere else. read more

This has to be the worst 99 ever the people working here are rude and the manager is a fool who rather lose customers to make an incompetent waitress feel goo for not doing there job waitressing is the easiest job possible read more

99 Restaurant is a good place to get a nice meal at a good price. I had the Sweet Chipotle Chicken meal which was a relatively new addition. It is a chicken breast rubbed with chipotle and cinnamon and roasted. It is served with Andouille cream sauce and a potato and vegetable. I found this to be tasty and not overly spicy. It is a good light fare to eat in place of a larger steak meal or such. Service was very good. The server was attentive but not intrusive. She knew when to bring a refill on the drink and reviewed the options on the menu. I also ordered the mango mai-tai which was tasty but a little on the weak side. A small pet peeve of mine is establishments like this one that do not list a price for their premium mixed drinks. The server knew what the margaritas cost because they are on special. But she was not sure of the Mai-tai cost (and it is nowhere to be found in the menu or elsewhere). This is by no means unique to 99 Restaurant as I have seen this many times. If the prices are not published, then the serving staff needs to know the prices for sure. It was $7.29. Really they should just publish the prices as they do for everything else they sell. I would recommend this restaurant to a friend. read more

First of all, the staff was very accommodating. Frequently came over and asked if we needed anything. The food is why I rated it a 3. I had the seafood trio. It was mediocre at best. My son had the steak which he said was "tough" The wife did enjoy her salad very much. read more

This was my first time at a 99 Restaurant and I would have to say that I prefer 99 over Chili's or Applebees any day. Maybe because I've eaten at the latter way too many times, but I've got to say that 99 does have some decent choice's on their menu. Their service at this 99 in particular was also pretty good. Good food, nice waitresses, what more can I ask? :-) read more

I honestly do not understand what others see in 99 Restaurants. This place is PACKED every time I drive by and I shake my head every time. I've been to this specific location twice, both times we had horrible service from both the hostess and the servers, the food wasn't good and it was pretty expensive! I'd much rather go across the street to Uno's where the people are friendly and the prices are affordable. read more

I went here for the first time tonight- honestly I wasn't expecting it to be any better than a chills or bennigans- but i was delightfully surprised! I had the chicken and steak tips, it was delicious. But the person who really made the night meal though was my drink - the pineapple martini. At first, I wasn't so sure about it but the waitress- Katie- was really pushing the drink on me. Finally I was just like, fine whatever. Got there... took a sip... DELICIOUS. Seriously, that girl knew what she was talking about and definitely was right to push that drink on me because it ruled. read more
