99 Restaurant & Pub

Food and drinks were great, it came out fast and was delicious. Service started great but went downhill. We came to watch football so we were just ordering apps and drinks. I had to wait for a refill until the server came to take our empty plates. We ordered some additional food and the server just gave us our check without asking if we needed anything else, making us feel like we were being rushed out. Various other staff were on the floor complaining about their tables in front of customers. What started out as a nice visit turned very uncomfortable and I probably will not return. I’m a fan of 99, I’ll just visit a different location from now on.

We haven’t been here in a long time and thought we would give it another try. We were seated for about 15 minutes. It wasn’t busy and there were plenty of waitstaff. No one acknowledged us and after 15 minutes we decided to leave. Guess we were wrong… their service still stinks.

Good family friendly restaurant with decent food and a large variety. But my favorite was the surprise I had at how good their lobster roll was. Was not expecting it to be well above average.

My husband and I often eat here, because it’s close by and they have a good variety of food on the menu. The French dip sandwich is very good. However, this is not the place to order any type of steak. The 3 times that I’ve ordered steak, I’ve had to send it back. I order medium rare, and they either cook it medium or almost well done. You’re best to order other items! The service is always good and the wait staff is friendly. This is a good family restaurant, and good for a chain restaurant.

I recently ordered one of their featured blueberry/​strawberry/​pecan luncheon salads with grilled chicken. The amount of chicken on the salad was minuscule, and I believe there was one sliced strawberry, 6 blueberries, and one crumbled pecan on the salad. That was it! Quite disappointing. The salad was mostly lettuce. The manager stopped at our table and was not very helpful or friendly. I don’t think my family or I will return to this restaurant in the future.

I was highly impressed. I wasn’t expecting much from a restaurant that is known for cheap dining. I was traveling through the area and needed something to eat. Figured this would be better than a mom an pop where you aren’t sure what you’d get not being from this area.
The décor was very nice and modern, great bar. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was very good too. Huge portions and reasonable prices.

Food was good. Beer was good. But the hostess was the furthest thing from welcoming. Just angry and unwelcoming.

Huge corporate redo this past winter is major disappointment. No Wifi, very little space for anyone over 6ft tall at tables, infants with booster seats or high chairs are allowed in VERY few areas, and just a general laize fair attitude by management. Great cold drafts though.

This is a regular spot for me, and the menu has enough variety on it, so I don’t get bored.

One of the things I really like about this 99 is the bar. It is enormous and open. The place was packed on a Saturday night so it was nice to find a place to have a beer to pass the time.
My family was there, including two small children. They found stuff they liked, which as a parent, makes my dinner so much easier. My meal was good and I enjoyed my time as we had good fun as a family.
This is a nice change of pace from other chain restaurants. You could do worse.

When you eat here, you know what you’re getting.
Stopped in on a weeknight with The Boy™. Had a solid, yet unmemorable dinner with a lovely server attending to our needs.
My son had a pulled pork sandwich and I chose the steak dinner. Each were done right, tasty and a nice end to our day. My only gripe was waiting 10 minutes for a table in a restaurant that clearly had empty tables from the moment I stepped inside. Possibly there were not enough servers, but no explanation was ever given.
It’s just fine. Been recently renovated so it’s look is nice and new. The bar area looked like a fun place to catch the latest big game.
I’m a fan.

I was very (very) surprised with this place to which we arrived almost involuntarily. It was like in a parking lot, somehow in the middle of nowhere… But we were on our way and needed to stop for lunch at some point… First I need to rate the service, which was quick and amazingly friendly. The food was excellent and the prices are more than reasonable. I now need to look for another one close to home… hopefully the experience will be as good.

99 falls into the category of what I call «wood and plant places.» You know the décor: abundant rustic-​looking natural-​finished wood, brass rails, hanging plants, and kitschy artwork, signs, or other artifacts on the walls. The waitstaff has the requisite 15 pieces of flair. It’s a familiar and ubiquitous genre of American food, with competitors represented by other chains such as Ruby Tuesday’s, TGI Friday’s, and Chili’s. It ain’t gourmet fare; what you hope to get is good quality basic food, generous portions, quick and friendly service, and reasonable prices. The Vernon 99 hits nicely on all of those points.
Friday night with the wife and son; we used their «Call-​Ahead Seating» and, despite the quoted 40 minute wait, we were seated within 5 minutes of our arrival. We shared the southwest egg-​roll appetizer. Obviously out of the freezer and then into the fryer, it was tasty, but the fillings were a little gooey and amorphous. Our son (7) had chicken fingers, which were nicely breaded, crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. My wife had the tropical chicken salad, which delivered perfectly to the description in the menu. I had a different greens-​and-​poultry combo, the grilled balsamic chicken and iceberg wedge. The chicken was grilled in a tasty glaze, and the chilled iceberg wedge, drizzled with Burgundy vinaigrette and topped with crumbled blue cheese and bacon bits, was a deliciously anachronistic throwback to classic 1960’s steakhouse cuisine.
Other points… our waitress was a perky 22 year old who was quick, attentive, and pleasantly chatty. The evening manager circulated the floor making sure everybody was satisfied. The only negative in the whole experience was my «platinum» margarita, which was weaker than I’d like.
We’ll have to return to try other menu items like steaks and burgers. From what we saw in the first visit, it should be fun.

.39 cent wings, 1.99 beers! Its as good as it gets.
The wings are great too, get the chipotle, very juicy and a decent size wing.
The bartender was very attentive and also very nice.
Kids eat free on snow days also!

I’m an appetizer for the meal kinda guy and for me it’s always a toss-​up between the Gold Fever and Buffalo boneless wings. My fiancée is a steak gal and usually goes for the NY Strip or Prime Rib (when available) and is very satisfied with their perfect medium. For a chain restaurant I’d call it above average food quality. Service is never a disappointment and price is reasonable.

They have good food, including the gold-​fever wings and strawberry mimosa cake. The burgers are huge, and the fries are seasoned just right. The service was good.

Had lunch at the 99 on my way down to NY on Thanksgiving weekend. I’ve never eaten in one of these restaurants before, but I’ve seen the ads on The Phantom Gourmet and was really excited to try it out. I was expecting something along the lines of Friday’s or Chili’s, with it’s own chain spin.
The restaurant was packed. Well, half of it was packed. They weren’t using the other half and patrons were forced to wait with beepers for tables to open up. When we were finally seated, we were served a pint sized bowl of popcorn. I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad off the lunch menu. My husband ordered the buffalo chicken sliders off of the lunch menu. His meal came with two tiny slider buns topped with what can only be described as chicken fingers. The portion of fries was stingy. My salad was the size of a side-​salad. We left feeling the meal was under-​portioned and overpriced. We will not be back.
