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.

I've eaten in house and had little trouble getting the food right. Recently, I had a large tab for…read morea delivery order for myself and a guest. The meal was a disaster and I was so embarrassed to have little backup food on hand (I'm disabled currently homebound). I was upset with the situation but the manager there reached out to me about the situation. She was very polite, genuine about how she would have felt if she were in my place, and said that she hoped they'd be able to do better for me next time. Still homebound, I gave them another chance and they did a good job with the meals. Try the Banana Foster cheesecake before it goes away!! Having a successful night, I was happy to order another steak dinner. The steak was well prepared and the other entree was fine. The appetizer was pretty basic (2 celery sticks is stingy for a wings order...). But I didn't receive one of the dinner salads that was a side with the meal. The receipt shows it and I called the restaurant after I opened the bag. The restaurant phone had a recording and then it would just disconnect. So I never got to tell them about the problem. At this point, I don't think I can trust them to get a delivery order correct -- statistically it has been proven.... So if you can go to the restaurant to dine in or pick up the order to make sure it's correct, I would say go for it. Otherwise, I've got to say don't bother with delivery. (If you do, know that they have left the food outside on my steps and never rang the bell to let me know it was delivered. They don't call or text to let you know that they have dropped it off either. Which means that you either need to watch your door, have a camera on your house or hope you get it before it is too cold. With my disability, I can't even get outside by myself to get to where they leave the bags. So I have to get someone else to help me bring it in. (I tip drivers extra for handing it off to me bc I get hot food. Never have had a delivery from them actually bring my food to the door.) I feel like they look at the wheelchair ramp and just decide to leave it in the middle of that. (Which is the equivalent of leaving it in the driveway bc it is through a porch, across a deck and then goes down to the one of two driveways.)

Considering the lack of help most restaurants are experiencing these days with a high volume of…read moredemand, I was absolutely happy with my experience for lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. I try to avoid chain restaurants, but the 99 is one of the good ones. I give this review 5 stars for the service over anything else. Lily, the hostess, greeted me & my fiance with a genuine smile. She seemed to be busy but stopped what she was doing the minute we walked in. She had a good sense of humor & I observed her with other customers. She was absolutely pleasant. Our waitress, Arista, was just as candid & super nice to us. Again, it seems rare to have such friendly service & I completely understand given the long hours & stress much of the restaurant industry is experiencing. She came right over to get our drink orders. She was fun & our experience was memorable because of this. We didn't feel like there was any waiting for Arista to come back to our table, as she would be back to visit at the exact times you'd expect. The food was OK, it isn't anything to write home about. Unfortunately, we aren't the type to speak up if our order is wrong. I wish we had, but we still fear the "Waiting" experience. My fiance had ordered the cheddar bacon burger & instead he received a very simple cheeseburger. The fries were on the mushy, cold side. I had the Mediterranean Shrimp Bowl. The rice was a bit cold but the other elements were hot enough that when mixed, it warmed up. I don't go to Hooksett too often, but I was impressed with this location. It was clean & orderly, including the bathrooms. I am sure we weren't there at the most busy time that they experience, but overall I was happy. For lunch & a couple of drinks, before tip, our bill was only $43.

Our server was friendly and she was quick to notice if someone needed a refill. She also checked in a couple times to make sure we didn't need anything. I really enjoyed the fajitas bowl although I wish it had a little more chicken. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the food. My one complaint (and most would probably laugh) is the popcorn on the table. Why it aggravates me I dont know but popcorn just seems so odd with food and its the one thing that keeps me from coming here more often. A roll or even a complimentary honey biscuit would be so much better lol Overall we had a good experience and im sure we will return.

3 Stars The 99's in…read moreSalem is...dated. Not charmingly dated. Just dated. The kind of place where nothing has apparently changed since I was old enough to order from the kids' menu. The dining room is cramped, the tables are packed together, and somehow there's a chair, a wall, another table, and somebody's elbow occupying every available inch of space. It's not exactly claustrophobic, but if the building got any smaller, they'd have to start seating people vertically. The one thing that absolutely worked was our waiter. He was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, kept the drinks coming, checked on us without being annoying about it, and generally did everything you'd want a waiter to do. He was on top of things the entire time, which is especially noticeable when the rest of the place feels like it could use a little attention itself. I had the broiled sirloin tips with fries and rice. The steak was good. Nice char, cooked medium rare like I asked, and plenty of flavor. The fries were decent, the rice was decent. Nothing on the plate was bad, but nothing exactly knocked the door off its hinges either. And honestly, that's kind of where the whole experience landed. Fine. The food was fine. The atmosphere was not great. The service was excellent. Three stars feels fair. Give the dining room a little breathing room, drag it kicking and screaming into the current decade, and I think there's a pretty good restaurant hiding underneath all that 1990s furniture.
