The 99 in Lowell is a consistent execution of good food and service at a good value. It's a classic New England style pub. The service is friendly and local. The bar staff in Lowell are amazing and so friendly and engaging. They take care of you like family. The food really is an incredible value. You can get fresh haddock with fresh broccoli and a baked potato. It's consistently good or, you can get the big seafood trio. The burgers are consistent and tasty. The wings and skins is always plentiful and delicious. There are so many choices and great specials. You can eat healthy or indulge in comfort food. There are lots of options It is probably one of the most consistent and predictable experiences in the area. We do frequent the 99. The loyalty program is nice and gives you perks every 3 to 4 visits. I get to experience restaurants around the world with my travel. I'm always glad I get to return home and go to my 99. read more

99 Restaurants - Bar - American Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

This place is consistently outstanding, at least the one on Route 110 on the Chelmsford/Lowell line!! If I could give 6 stars, I would! The popcorn on the table is a nice touch. The menu is extensive and everything I've tried is delicious, ribs, BBQ Chicken, BBQ Turkey Tips (sadly no longer on their menu), mashed potatoes, well-seasoned fresh fries, Cole slaw, burgers, honey mustard crispy chicken salad, mango iced tea, petite treat desserts). The portions are generous and the prices range from inexpensive to fair (from about $15-30 for an entree). The wait staff are attentive. The service is efficient. Even the music is refreshingly nostalgic! I've rediscovered Michelle Branch thanks to 99. :) The sports memorabilia is cool! Spacious parking lot! Easy access from I-495 and US-3 if you live farther away (though I live right in Chelmsford). read more

Our food was very disappointing. My chicken parm was overbattered , difficult to cut. My son & husbands fish and chip was so over battered with dough which a good portion was raw dough. Whatever cook was working did not have proper training or just dough crazy!!! We usually come here upon returning my son to college. 99 restaurants are usually consistent but not this one!! Won't be back! I now have a dough batter belly!!! Cholesterol city!! read more

Best Entree Salad eva!!! Thank you to the bartender & manager after my 2 failed Steak orders + over an hour+.

I visited this location less than a week ago and the food and service while dining in were great. Unfortunately, I accidentally left my credit card behind. When I called, I spoke with Kiley, who confirmed they had it and that it would be kept safely in the office. A few days later, since I don't live in the area, I made the trip back to pick it up--only to be told no one knew where it was. The manager on duty was polite and quickly reached out to the manager from that night, who said the card should be in a grey box. Still, it couldn't be located. I was given the GM Christopher's information and told to follow up, but when I did, he also had no answers. He apologized, but by then it was extremely frustrating to have wasted the trip only to find the card missing. I understand mistakes happen, but a clear protocol should be in place to ensure items like credit cards are stored and tracked securely. Because of this experience, I won't be returning to this location. read more

Service was great. Food was a mix, not like usual. The mashed potatoes changed. It was not too busy. The server was excellent and very polite even though he had a lot of tables. read more

The 99 apparently does not mind losing generations of customers. I went with my wife, daughter and granddaughter. My granddaughter who is 15 ordered, as she always has from the kids menu. Our waitress, then the manager informed us that she is too old to order from the kids menu. We explained her autism and eating disorder. It made no difference and they said there is nothing they can do. We told the manager that they will lose us as regular customers for more than 30 years. We will never set foot in a 99 again. The manager at the Lowell, MA restaurant could not have cared less. read more

We we're drooling all week about 99's prime rib special. We ordered the 18oz one. We were so disappointed about the size, taste, quality of the meat itself. Bleh.... At Village Inn, we make two meals out of their 16oz. Prime rib. This one at 99's we are in one sitting and we were still hungry. So, 18oz? No, I don't think so. I think they have us a 12oz for the price of the 18oz.... Disappointing all the way. read more

Our experience was absolutely phenomenal, our server was Kyle, the lovely ginger and he was the best, he was so funny and made our night 100% better after the shitty movie at the cinema. Thank you Kyle we hope to see you again. read more

99 is a standby for me and my nephew. He devoured their seafood special. The chicken parm needs work - not very flavorful and kind of bland. The cheese moons are excellent. Waiter was excellent. Food came out at a great pace. We will be back I'm sure! read more

Amazing bartenders, food is always spectacular! Love d it here ever since I was a kid.

Had the Prime Rib and wife had full Rack of Ribs. Both were very good ! Prime Rib was very tasty and Au jus tasted excellent. Nice meat salt and pepper taste. The outer bark was just right. Excellent slice of meat. Two bartenders Suzy and Kate were very attentive. Great service. Lowell location. read more

First time back at a 99 since the one near me closed. Menu pricing has gone up , food portions have gotten smaller and some things are no longer quality. So chicken pot pie came out burned and watery. You think the cook would have did a new once since he saw it was burned ?!?! That's not good .... My waiter Caleb was great about everything ! And not his fault the silverware was dirty. The girl sitting us tried to sit us a family of 4 at a half table. Ma'am ... don't do that ! You didn't try to sit the others at that nasty dirty spot. Food was ok and service from the waiter was great. read more

Over cooked chicken tenders, overcooked pasta, and overcooked shrimp. All super overpriced. Service was ok at the least. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

This is a chain pub-style restaurant. I usually eat here when I am too late to cook. The food is good, the prices average for today, and the service is very good. The current menu is average and not as good as pre-pandemic and the same is true for the membership program. I recommend it for a decent meal at current prices. read more

This place was just awful with service. The food was fine. The service was rushed in the beginning when I was ordering my food I didnt have enough time to look at the menu because i was helping my kid choose what they want to eat and it was so slow at the end when I'm ready to leave I had to wait almost half an hour for someone to come so i can pay for my food ! If you dont like being a waitress or waiter you should just quit. They had very few appetizers they need to upgrade the menu overall. The food was okay I'm more upset about the service! read more

My wife and I went to the 99 in Lowell. Both of our steaks were cooked wrong! My baked potato was COLD and service was SLOW. We didn't see our waitress for almost 40 minutes. SAD!!! read more

So first they forgot the drinks to go which is fine and now the fish is burnt and it is also dry!!!!. The crispy cauliflower was overcook!!!! It don't even taste how it's suppose to!!!! As you can see I spit it out!!!!! The only thing that was ok to eat was the lobster roll obviously they didn't have to cook that. Never ordering here again!! Place going down hill with children's working here!!! Oh and great I just realized this is the same location I went last time!!!!!!!!!! read more

No flavor had scallops the coleslaw had just cabbage no mayo or vinegar very pricey and the chef couldn't be bothered was watching a Red Sox game & manager just walked over & changed the channel like I didn't exist very disappointed read more

My boyfriend and I have been going to 99s for quite some time and I believe last night will be our last time going there, we were seated on one side of the restaurant and we were the only ones in the whole area which we thought was nice and quiet and private. Food was great, waitress was very friendly and accommodating, BUT as we were finishing our meal we had saw something run across the floor & to our surprise it was a mouse! We completely lost our appetite and didn't even want to stay for dessert , I have never in my life ever saw a rodent in a restaurant that I've eaten at and I was honestly very disgusted by this and will not be returning to any 99s read more

Servers here are the slowest ever. Food takes almost an hour to come out That menu is disgusting and so is the food. Bottom line: Don't waste your time and money at this establishment. read more

My husband was intent a corned beef meal. He looked it up and found out that 99 had an Irish dinner for 13.99 when we arrived the menu said 18.99. I asked for the manager. He said if it's on Google we aren't responsible. Their online menu from their site said 18.99. So we ordered. The corn beef was dry. Carrots and Turnip was still hard. We sent it back. Same thing. We shut up. NEVER AGAIN EVER! 74.99 with drinks. You know I have been disappointed the last few times. I gave them a chance. Management was awful. Waiter was nice. Never again. read more

Seems things are going downhill again. Got the ribs and 8 oz steak combo and while the ribs were good, the fries tasted as if they'd been under a warmer for 30 minutes and the steak came out well done despite being ordered medium rare. And when I say well done, we are talking inedible hockey puck. To add insult to injury, the waitress said "sometimes the kitchen staff get lazy when we aren't busy". What the hell?? However, she was very pleasant and did comp my portion of our meal so at least that was good. read more

Now I really like the 99 I really do. I don't know if it's just this location but it's just bad now. We typically get the 99 every month as a treat. We either dine in or order to go. It doesn't matter what you do it will be inconsistent. The last time we went we dined in. My husband got the fish n chips. It honestly looked like a kids meal. Tonight I ordered to go. I got mashed potatoes with my meal. When I showed up to the restaurant my food wasn't even done yet. My mashed potatoes were ice cold but my burger was hot. Never order the chicken fingers to go because they will be soggy 100% of the time. read more

99 Restaurants - Fish n chips - American Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Service is always good. Drinks are always good. The other customers at the bar and always open and fun to chat with while watching the ball game. The food isn't great... barely good. We ordered nachos, they were dry, we make better at home. All the appetizers are high calorie and deep fried. My husband and I shared the nachos and split a burger. The burger was okay, fries are okay. There really isn't anything memorable about it. I don't feel that it is THIS 99's fault, they are doing everything right but the 99 overall needs a better menu. read more

Food is delicious and service is nice and I have to come back for a while I came here in very late almost 10pm; however, the server is kinda nice and enthusiastic. The food is fast served and the price I think is great with what I got from the menu.I love this place read more

This restaurant is the epitome of the chain restaurants in the area. Although the offerings are extensive, service is mediocre. Drinks were weak and the food was just OK. Appetizers took 30 minutes to get to our table and brought out AFTER our entrees were already on the table. We weren't offered any popcorn and were were charged for adults soda in lieu of children's soda's which were 1/2 the price. I must say, the hot biscuit and the gold fever wings (bone in) were a hit at our table, everything else was average. read more

I really did not like the Ninety Nine Restaurant. You already know that I am going to comment that this is a chain ... and like most chains, they disappoint. Although I was here four days ago, I can't say I remember my experience as it wasn't a good one. I'll make it quick and divide my review into three parts: Food For appetizers, we had the three cheese nachos and it wasn't so bad. The chips were probably the best thing there. Actually, I liked the clam chowda too... and these were all before the meal. For my main course, I had the Fried Shrimp and fries with cole slaw. It was a huge portion and disnt look too appetizing after it was placed in front of me. Fries were tough and the shrimp was super salty. It actually tasted a whole lot better the next day. Desert I had some apple crisp and that was pretty good too. .... except it was SO small. BLAH. Service: Stinky service. Our server forgot many things and got quite a few plates and drink wrong. She was pushy and was totally in rush. I hate when my table fills up with dishes and they were being piled up throughout the course of my dining, yet she did not ask to clear anything up. Gr. Environment: Nice local decor like every other 99. Pretty darn dark. Meh, I've no desire to return any time soon. read more

The 99, This is the worst service we have ever received , the hostess did not even recognize that we where there waiting to be served. An off duty server sat us at a booth we waited for 20 minutes to be greeted by a server and no one came. We ask to speak to the manager whose name is Michele, yup she did not come and talk it ask why we were unhappy and leaving. Big 2 down. What a disappointment. They do not even deserve 1 star, but I can post this without clicking on at least one. read more

I requested for another side of bacon because the bacon was burnt. The waitress said the chef told her that all of the bacon are cooked like that. SAY WHAAAAAT?? I mean, I like my bacon crispy but not burnt to blackness! How come all other photos of bacon on Yelp at the 99 doesn't look burnt like that? What do you think? Is this burnt or no? read more

Met my friend Nancy here for dinner one night recently. In a convenient after work spot, right off the highway. Love their before meal popcorn. PRO - Our waitress was friendly & nice. I tried their new fangled Cesar salad that is basically 1/2 a head of Romaine lettuce, sliced down the middle & served with your choice of protein, Cesar dressing, some croutons & bacon bits & a hard boiled egg (also sliced down the middle) on top. It's FABULOUS. I really liked it. Nancy got the small piece of salmon with sides of broccoli & corn, as she is watching her carbs. Drinks were good, got my fav chardonnay here. Weeknight, so food came fast. CON - As usual for The 99, our waitress had 99 tables to wait on, so poor girl was pretty busy. Nancy thought her "drowning in butter" corn was gross. SO - It's the 99. You pretty much know you are gonna get a "decent" but not "outstanding" meal here for a pretty reasonable price. But that salad was darn good. So four stars, instead of the usual three for The 99 tonight. Get that salad. read more

Really love when the Red Sox win kids eat free promotion. Also their beer is always very cold on tap. Good value for the money. Service is always good . Several big screens to catch the game throughout the building read more

LONG BLACK HAIR IN DESSERT! CAUTION! Went on New Years Eve around 9:30 PM, the turkey tips were fine, nothing great. Waitress offered a salad as a side, without mentioning the up-charge. Found out when we got the bill. Ordered the Towering Midnight Fudge Cake. When I put my spoon in the brownie I IMMEDIATELY FOUND THE HAIR AND PULLED IT DIRECTLY OUT OF THE CAKE. It was literally baked into it. DISGUSTING!!!! Go here at your own risk! Management took the dessert off the bill, and gave us a $20.00 gift certificate to use the next time we came in. Hate to break it to them, but when we find a long hair in our food, there isn't a next time we'll be back. I already gifted the certificate to someone else. Overall, really gross and disappointing. Will not be returning, and will urge my friends to do the same!!!! read more

Went last night for dinner with one of my kids. We were seated fast but waitress didn't show up for about 10 minutes.... We finally order and the appetizers were ok.. If we didn't stop the waitress a few times she might never have stopped at our table again... she finally brings us our meals (both got cheeseburgers) and they were absolutely horrible.. They were mushy, soft and over cooked. oh and NO cheese! lol... I took one bite and pushed it aside, my son complained but ate his. She didn't return for 15 minutes and when I finally flagged her down she had an attitude and didn't even ask if I wanted a new replacement... Meanwhile our table was covered still with the appetizer plates, popcorn plate, etc. we had to clean it all off ourselves.. Finally the manager came over and he was very nice about it and did offer to replace it and took it off the bill, he also gave me a $10 gift card.. He left and once again we were left waiting for the waitress!! Finally I flag her down and asked for the check.. "oh didn't HE give it to you!?" She asked with an attitude... We got the check, paid and left, weren't told to have a nice night by the hostess or other worker standing at the door as we left. I gave the gift card to two women walking in.. Clearly in never return... read more

Good food, so good if you go there more than a few times you won't fit in their tiny tiny booths without lacerating your liver. If you're a scrawney little thing who like some honest to goodness American fare, this is the place for you. If you're a person of generous proportions because you like generous portions, stay away, you won't fit in their little booths! read more

New bar is great!!! Lots more room and the TVs are awesome, you can see at least one from every seat in the bar. The bartenders are super friendly and quick to serve and refill. Food was great, i think the onion rings need to be drained more though... The platinum margarita was awesome, and I usually do not like the margs from the 99 I'll go back!! read more

Pleasantly surprised by the food here. I got the Fit for You (or whatever) salmon, and it was a decent portion of fish. Obviously, it wasn't pink in the middle, but it was still flaky--you can't expect too much from $12 salmon. I also really liked the seasoning. I asked for the balsamic sauce on the side, and luckily they remembered, because it would have totally overpowered the taste of the fish. Just watch out because several entrees here are 1500+ calories. Also, I don't know why so many things are served with rice. No one's like, "Mmm, rice." read more

The 99 is okay. It has your typical American food. The service is reasonable. I liked it much better before they remodeled. I actually observed that you can't see the T.V.'s at all. There is always the booth in front of you blocking your view. Also I really dislike the new 99 reason posters on the walls. What was wrong with the old nostalgia signs they had before? read more
