99 Restaurants — Restaurant in North Andover

If you haven't been to a 99's before, think the same caliber as TGI Fridays, Chili's, Applebee's, etc. It's the same quality of food, geared towards steakhouse and comfort food type dishes. Honestly, to me, it feels like most of their meals are pre-prepared, pulled from a freezer and flash cooked. But I feel the same way about the other restaurants I mentioned above, I don't think any of them are particularly special. Mass produced stuff, the same at every location across the country. I guess the thing they've got going for them is familiarity...whether it's a 99's in Maine or Florida, your dish is likely going to be almost identical regardless of where you order it. Considering it really seems like most of their food came from the freezer, I can't say I'm thrilled to eat it but it works and is better than fast food, a little. I'd consider these type of places pretty much the McDonald's or Burger King of low/mid range sit down family restaurants. Don't bother ordering real drinks here, they're so watered down you basically get a soda with a splash of booze, for like $7-9, so I'd avoid and go elsewhere for drinks! It'd cost you $150 to get the same effect as you would off of a few drinks from any local private owned bar. Atmosphere is familiar, always very similar between locations. Altogether, it's not bad food, but if there are enough options I'd likely choose somewhere else. Really comes down to what your tastes are, and what you're craving! Personally, I tend to look for non-chain restaurants, where they have original, imaginative dishes and not many locations. I feel they care more about what they're giving you, rather than just move em in, move em out, which is what 99's is. I prefer to get the best quality for the money I'm spending, which doesn't often lead me to this...

Where do I start? I went out with my husband and my daughter they set us right away 5:20pm we had a menu we look we went to restroom. Nobody has come taking orders 6:15pm waiting having diabetes, my husband got up went to the ladies at set us down and ask them if somebody is going to help us. One of the girls told us somebody already took your orders we were like no they have not come up to us. If they did, we would have something to drink. We would not have a menu. she apologized and got somebody new it was 7:00pm The girl took our order waiting another 30-45 minutes to get our food my mashed potatoes was cold my steak was Bert. I felt disrespecting just because we are Spanish they didn’t took care of us we left at 8 o’clock. I wish people treat people with kindness doesn’t matter what race you are?? and if you’re paying for food, it has to be good Delicious I Pay $75 for a 2 plate that was cold and steak Bert and 3 little pieces of Broccoli. Just to top it up we want to talk to a manager? But he Never came to our table? 8:30pm that is the time we left. I just want everyone to treat people respect no matter where you come from or race. 99 was my favorite restaurant because it is not for the customer like myself you will not have a job and I will never eat...

Horrible experience here, Since when you need 2 forms of License or ID for a drink, so I was traveling from New York to Boston and my fiancé and I decided to grap something to eat so we try 99s very nice girls when I walk in greets and all walks us over to our table, Debb our waitress comes over I ask for a drink I hand her my NYS License and she asks for a different kind of ID, Ahh No I only need to give you a valid license and I did, Debb states I need something else with your name on it at this point I’m confused because anywhere I spot and get a drink my NYS License is good enough so Debb says I have to get approval from my manager, lol is she kidding me, I wonder if it was because I was A dark skin Hispanic?? Something to diffidently think about, Debb lady comes back and states oh ok how can I help you after her manger “approved” my NY license for the drink lol I told her she couldn’t and got up and walked away. I will never recommend anyone that’s traveling to stop and...
