Seeing some of the reviews being up and down; especially when it came to the turkey dinner, I had to come in and try it for myself and give an honest review. Having my days mixed up, I forgot today is Friday so I called and because Wednesday was burger day, they still did the turkey special today.
When I called and spoke to Chrissy and someone else, they were very pleasant and when I got here, she was the host. Anna was my server/waitress. Excellent personality on her, friendly and came to check on me a few times to see if I needed anything else. Food - Portion was anything but small…5 slices of turkey a huge scoop of potatoes, a bowl of corn and a cup of cranberry sauce. Everything was hot and fresh, even as I let it sit for a few minutes to do a hot/cold taste test.,it stayed hot. Parking is plentiful..it’s in the corner of a strip mall with stop and shop. Restaurant and bathrooms are clean..I don’t know what some of these reviews are about. I look for small details and don’t even see a rolled up straw wrapper on the floor. Based on interactions with the staff, and the food..on a 1-5; I’ll give it a 4.8 and on a 1-10; a solid 8.5. I’ll definitely be coming back and urge others…base off your own experience or if you DO go off a Google review, make sure they have been to more than one place. They DO have daily specials that are in-store only, which is...
Read moreI recently made the mistake of going to this place for lunch. Its clear that since this is a chain "restaurant", they very obviously use pre packaged, pre cooked food. I ordered chicken tenders, a food that could not be easier to cook. The manager brought our food over for some reason. I'm not sure how the waitress was too busy...there was almost no one there. As he walked up to our table I could see from a distance that the chicken was way overcooked. I have no idea how a restaurant manager could pick up a plate like that and be ok with serving it. The tenders were disgusting. They were hard, bone dry and tasteless. My wife got short rib mac and cheese. At restaurants that cook actual fresh food, the short ribs would've been shredded and cooked in with the Mac and cheese. This was just a bowl of Mac and cheese with 3 whole short ribs carelessly thrown on top. She also said it was cold in the middle. Clearly the Mac was precooked, pre portioned and probably microwaved before dumping the meat on it. I was offered something else. But they screwed up both our meals. Plus if they can't get chicken tenders right, I have little confidence that anything else would be better. Theres so many better options in the area. Also the bartender was wearing a baseball jersey. A very...
Read moreMy wife, Borus, and I recently visited a 99 Restaurant for the first time, looking for a bit of solace after the recent and distressing news about our mailman’s passing. He had tragically died of AIDS, contracted from an unfaithful boyfriend. We needed a distraction and some comfort, and this outing provided just that.
I ordered the steak dinner, which was cooked to perfection and immensely satisfying. Borus opted for a chicken wrap, which she found both flavorful and well-prepared. The quality of the food and the relaxed atmosphere were just what we needed.
To further brighten our day, I had a strawberry fruit refresher. It was incredibly refreshing and gave us a much-needed boost.
An unexpected highlight for Borus was the restaurant’s bathroom facilities. The plumbing was in excellent condition, and she appreciated how well the toilets accommodated a variety of diets and body types It might seem like a minor detail, but it added to the overall positive experience.
Our visit to 99 Restaurant was a welcome escape and a reminder of how small pleasures can offer comfort during...
