We were out of town and tried of driving the 99 was just a 1/2 a mile away. we pulled into the parking lot and it was packed always a good sign. It's not our normal move as I always look for a small local business. But everything about it was good. We ordered the $14. 99 special which again odd. But it was great in and out in an hour. Server was very attentive. read more

The food is ok and it's always been a decent place to get dinner. But his past time was t was very different. Our server was not great and the drinks were very poor. My martini arrived 1/2 full. We were not pleased at all. read more

Had lunch at the 99 today. Smothered steak tips are 28.99 on the menu at the restaurant. On line it says 31.49. Is an additional charge for delivery? Service was excellent. Food was good. Curious about the difference in amounts. read more

We went to the 99 in Auburn after a long hiatus, basically eating out just is getting to expensive and the last time we were at the 99 we could see them slipping from the standard they try to uphold. We went in this evening and ordered the Chicken & Sausage Penne Alforno! Prior to that we had some appetizers. The mozzarella moons are always good & they brought over the chicken quesadillas (which had no chicken)! So ok, enjoying my mango mai tai while my friend was slugging back a cold one! Dinners come out, both the same, they look great, and the first bite they are like spicy as hell! Felt like the devil walked into my mouth and wiped his feet!! Oy!!! Ok so we start to eat and the sausage (when you could find one) was cut as thin as a coin, like you would put on your pizza, not on a pasta dish!! They should be utterly embarrassed to serve a dish like that! And you barely found any chicken in it as well. A truly disappointing dinner indeed! Our waitress was very nice and always there when you needed her! Dessert, ha-ha dessert! Two desserts both 8+ or 9 dollars! Bottom line....one sucky appetizer, two crappy dinners, couple of drinks & no overpriced desserts come to........A little over a C-Note! MasterCard- its everywhere you really shouldn't have been. Breaking into that package of Oreo's when you get home-PRICELESS!! read more

Entering the restaurant there was a pleasant greeting, was seated away from everyone else don't know if it was do to my child being present or just the nature of being a minority aside from all of that, salad was fresh and came out fast. Presentation of the main dish was nice but unfortunately it was cold all the way around had to send back it's a bit unfortunate due to this restaurant being in my home town. In high hopes of the next time around service will be better and a better experience. read more

When to Auburn with my wife and kids, ordered a Hamburger, got just that hamburg patty. 1/4" thick. DCU center food court would have been better. What are you doing 99? read more

5 stars to our fabulous server Jen!!! We were there for lunch on May 21st, it is a good (somewhat) in the middle meeting spot between Boston and Manchester CT. Jen is very nice, and I noticed on her nametag it said that she was a trainer (circuit trainer, maybe?) - I can see why because she has the natural personality for making sure everyone feels welcome and has what they need! I had the Vermont Cheddar Burger, I love Cabot cheese and there was also something on it that was amazing.... I wish I paid more attention but was too busy eating. It was like a secret sauce or something??? It was cooked perfectly, thanks to the grill staff for that! Right at the intersection of routes 12 & 20, and right off the Mass Pike ~ read more

All staff were very pleasant. Service excellent. Food was tasty and good quantity. Ordered pot pie. It was excellent

We sat at the bar last night around 6 PM or 7 PM and that vicinity. We ordered a glass of wine each. I ordered a steak tip salad and a cup of onion soup My Husband ordered ribs and chicken fingers. We sat there enjoying our wine notice that all these people came and got their food. We sat there for an hour. I had to hunt down two people to get it and it was extremely annoying me says I know we did not leave a tip on $121 bill so I guarantee you when you see my review you know who I am. You've gotta be better than what you are shame on you. It was an awful experience. read more

There aren't many options in Auburn whilst you're driving enroute to Boston to see BANE. But 99 Restaurants is one of them. Upon walking in, you are greeted with the chance to win a grill. No mention of the grill, just that's it there, as you walk in, and you can somehow win it. Spoiler we did not win the grill, just stomach aches. We were shown to our table, my friend and I, and I should say our waitress was great. But that's where the greatness ends and the story begins... I don't know, I looked my buddy in the eye, and he looked at me and our faces both said this isn't the place for us, we should leave so I said do you want to go sit at the bar or leave and he said I don't want to be that guy who gets up and leaves so we sat there. Johnny Burgers across from us across from us apparently ordered his burger medium rare but it came well done and I could see from my vantage point that the burger was charred and that he was touch and go about whether he was going to cry. The waitress asked if he wanted another one and he said he couldn't wait another 20 minutes for a burger, mind you he was telling her this through a mouth full of fries. His wife(?) sat across from him nodding her head and telling Burger John he should get a new one but alas that story was not to be told. The waitress came back, took our orders, chicken fingers and fries for me, a chicken finger wrap for said sidekick. We thought we'd be safe, but the question of whether or not chicken fingers were able to be a wrong choice was about to be answered. Meanwhile, Chili Plate Pete, the gentleman to my 3 o'clock got his plate of chili and I think it was chili but perhaps there was something underneath, one could not tell as the entire plate was covered in chili. I'm not sure how much this cost the guy other than a night on the porcelain, but if he enjoyed it, it was a deal to be had. He ate this thing for 45 minutes and made exactly zero progress. When we left, he was still eating it. His family had finished probably 30 minutes prior, and I'm sure were looking forward to windows being up on the drive home, as it was raining. Our food arrived, the chicken fingers were plentiful, the fries as well. No sauces. I saw the wrap across from me and the terror in my comrade's face, but we were starving so we dug in. He said I'm starving what have we done. I had around 9 glasses of water to help with what can only be described as dry chicken. I said to my pal that I believe the chicken fingers were seasoned with bleached flour and they said, should we add pepper, anything, and they said nah, the flour will take this recipe home. My associate, having finished his lettuce and chicken wrap, sampled one chicken finger for purely scientific reasons, and could not understand how I was able to finish the meal. I think the water helped and upon my last bite I said we should have driven to Boston and ate to which my colleague said, we were too hungry, this was a decision out of desperation and we paid the price. Check paid, grill lost, we walked out of the door dazed as a woman in Korn hoodie blew the last of her cigarette into our faces, solidifying an experience that will surely be remembered forever. A few hours later, we made it Boston where my friend informed me that the 99 Restaurants adventure continued and he ran to the bathroom. I at least, made it back to the hotel. We still talk about this meal. read more

Food: Ordered a Burger and a Country style chicken. Burger was asked to be cooked medium and came well done. The Country style chicken was asked to have no gravy and came drowed in a pool of gravy, almost unedible. The Chicken was poor quality and even the potatoes werent really edible. Service: Service was at best mediocre, all requests made while ordering where ignored and nothing came as asked for even for a simple requests such as no lemon waters. Waitress also tried to charge $7 more on the bill for soda we didnt order and than said its just a habit they do implying they do that to people frequently when they order water. Ambiance: Restaurant is clean and normal standard, TV's located well and all. Nothing to comment on there. read more

Yes this is a chain restaurant but they have doing things right down right! We are always very happy with what we order - we don't have expectations that don't match PUB fare. Some of our go to favorites are the smothered steak tips, all-star burger, fish and chips and our kids love the ranchero kids steak. This past weekend I had their 3-course meal deal with prime rib - the prime rib was cooked perfect to medium rare and was very tender and flavorful - it came with a soup/salad, two sides and a mini dessert. My husband had a burger that was cooked perfectly to medium well without being overdone and had tons of toppings on it. You can't beat their prices and curbside pickup service. read more

This place is terrible! The food is subpar. Overcooked burgers and tiny portions. Couldn't even finish my overcooked burger. It was like a dried up puck. My son's $17 buffalo mac and cheese was an embarrassingly small portion. Basically one layer of mac and cheese with chicken on top in a tiny skillet. And to top it off the dining room is freezing. Need to leave your coat on while you eat. The women next to us said her chicken tasted weird and just wanted it off her plate. Avoid at all cost because you will leave hungry and remorseful you paid the amount you did for sh@#t food. Our server was okay. read more

I understand food is through the roof, but I will pay more money for the same amount of food I would normally get, than getting less food and higher prices. Sadly this chain restaurant isn't the only restaurant doing this. read more

Good chain food that is consistent. We get lots of take out here. Good variety of food to choose from. My husband loves the all star burger. I like the regular cheese burger. The fish and chips are good, the pork carnitas app yummy. Give it a try read more

Came here and the person helping us Jen went above and beyond she was so amazing. She refilled the drinks so fast without us asking, constantly checked in on us and was so friendly. For my first impression it was really nice to see that. I really liked the seafood chowder, they had this strawberry refresher drink that was really good but I added an extra lime to it. The fact that you can snack on popcorn while you're waiting is really rad. Really want to try the other food. read more

Well, I have managed to avoid this place since we moved to the area almost 4 years ago. I had to try the 99 just so I can tell people why I don't eat at too many chain restaurants, I guess. The servers and the host are friendly. And it appears that the bar does quite a business with regulars. I would meet someone at the bar for a drink. My husband and I came in for a late dinner and they feature a lobster roll on the summer menu. Let me just say, there's nothing like lobster that is fresh. And then, there is nothing like lobster that is NOT fresh. Really. It's a horrible flavor. And that was my very sad lobster roll. Overcooked and rubbery, but smelled fishy and tasted bitter. Ingredients, guys. Ingredients. read more

99 Restaurants - a burger and french fries - Pubs Near Me - Auburn, Massachusetts

Always a classically good option with great service. They are known for their gold fever wings! Def worth a try.

I just signed up to Yelp b/c I think everyone should know about a girl named Taylor. She is probably the best employee any restaurant could have. I don't really know what her job is , but she seems to do everything. When other employees have a problem they ask her for help. She's in all around all-star in the restaurant industry. Go into the 99 and watch for yourself. read more

Service was great. The mango bubble green tea was amazing! I would go back just for that. Got the mushroom sirloin, asked for it to be cooked medium and it was more like medium rare in the middle. Couldn't eat that part it was so chewy. Unfortunately I had already started eating it by the time I realized this so they couldn't take it back. My kids shared the fish and chips and they liked it. My husband got the sirloin tips and his were also under cooked. Got the hot fudge sundae for dessert and it was served in a martini glass which kept threatening to tip over everytime one of us took a spoon to it so I had to hold the glass the whole time we ate it. I would not ever get steak there again for the undercooked reasons. Flavor of it was also just meh. Good place for drinks appetizers and dessert tho. read more

99 Restaurants - Pubs Near Me - Auburn, Massachusetts

The waitresses really sucks! Will not be going back there.. Poor service. Food is not good. Prices are too high.

Another lunch time visit for us today. Food was OK. I had the lunch size steak tips with french fries. There were only 4 pieces o beef on the plate. Next time I'll just stick with the regular size portion for $3 more. Our server was excellent. She checked with us first before bringing popcorn because we had Baby B with us. She checked on us several times during our visit. The only blemish, She was nice enough to offer to wrap up Mrs B's sandwich that she couldn't finish, but never brought it back to us. Of course being distracted parents of a three year old we forgot about it until after we had pulled out of the parking lot...shame on us. read more

Wow!! Always a grrrrrrrreat experience. Valentines Day 2021...thank you Danielle for making this an wonderful evening for my wife Brenda & I! We will continue coming back...SEE YOU SOON!! read more

The service and food is always great, I have been coming here for years.. the only issue I have is that they allow children at the bar. My girlfriend and I had to wait for a seat at the bar for 20 minutes while there were 5 children under the age of 10 at bar seats. They should review and change this practice. read more

Good food. Good service. Not quite as personable as I would prefer, but overall good.

My companion and I had eaten in a 99 elsewhere in Mass., so we decided to try this one. Modern interior. We sat at a high top booth. Waitress was very friendly and efficient. My companion ordered one of the lunch specials, a prime rib wrap. She didn't care for it and said it had very little prime rib, I had the smokehouse burger which was very tasty. Overall, not bad for the price. read more

What appears to be the latest incarnation of Houlihans, Fridays etc is actually a lot better. I had the chicken taco salad with guac and was pleased, the desert with a cookie in patn and ice cream, had delicious ice cream but the cookie was a little thin. Good service decent food a step above the crowd. read more

So today I had a visit today and I ordered potatoe skins and they were way over cooked , in my salad had hair in it , my chicken was also cold and the service was terrible the only thing that was good was salmon read more

Stopped in because we didn't feel like Venturing far from home for dinner. We come here occasionally as it is close and the food is consistently good. Crispy chicken salad for me, wife had the pork chop dinner. We were both entirely satisfied. Our server was Jen, you can't ask for a better server. Pleasant, accurate and attentive, without being overbearing. Thank you for the hospitality Jen! read more

99 Restaurant & Pub - Auburn, MA We have been to the 99 dozens of times over the years, and never had a bad meal. There are so many different selections on the menu, it doesn't get old or boring and everything has always been delicious. To start off, they offer free popcorn or pub cheese and crackers for a nominal charge which are addicting so don't fill up on them. They have the usual appetizers which are all very good. For ours meals, we have tried the fish and chips (yum), steak tips, broiled fish, seafood casserole, lobster roll ( yumm-o ), turkey tips, and there burgers which are to die for. If you can handle it, they have mouth-watering desserts which change from time to time. They have chocolate cake, apple crisp, ice cream sundaes --- and, have added sugar free Blueberry Pie which is my absolute favorite dessert in the world. It is like You died and went to heaven, I know I'm Making fun but it really Is very good. Blueberry Pie is my very favorite dessert, you would never know it is sugar free, it tastes better than regular blueberry pie. Bet I got your mouthwatering now, huh? Good, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you are good to go - Enjoy! read more

About 5 min wait after we were told 15 mins,so that was a plus. Started with their delicious popcorn,(got 2bowls) just for asking. Had the mango ice tea yummmm She had the lemonade,she said it was just rite She ordered the chicken Macncheese I ordered the large prime rib with loaded mashed and Broccoli. Mine was as good as it gets. Hers was have to eat there have to take home. Mine came hot ,but Broccoli was butterless, Didn't see our waiter for the next 10 minutes and when I asked for butter it came five minutes later by this time the broccoli was half eaten and cold. Our waiter was a young man who definitely needs more experience waiting on people. Food was good waiting. OK waiter needs to be improved. Total for a bill was about 40 bucks plus tip Not great not bad, Will return due to prices and taste read more

Wow! I am blown away by my experience at 99 today. When my friend offered to take me out there, I was extremely hesitant... almost even declined! My last experience was years ago, and I recall it being nothing special. However, today was the one of the best meals I've had in ages! And some of the best service! I was surprised by the wait on a Saturday, but it was a rainy Saturday afternoon and I guess no one had anything better to do. But the MOMENT we were seated, Mary was there - with her kind, gentle smile and her exuberance and her helpful attitude. MARY made our afternoon there an extreme pleasure and joy! I don't know who she is, but one time as she was walking away, I looked at my friend and said "I love Mary. I'm going to find her outside of this place and make her my friend." Yes, I know that's strange, but it was because she brought such true, authentic smiles to my face! I ordered the Chicken Kabob salad, which I had to stop eating multiple times just to rave about how good it was! We added the soup/salad and mini dessert option for only a few extra dollars, which was extremely worth the price! The Seafood chowder was delicious, and just the right amount. The mini dessert tasted like a Snickers bar as a cake. To top it off, there were $3.99 margaritas! Basically the best day ever. Thank you, 99! *And may I just mention - this is my first review EVER on yelp! In years and years! read more

I went to the 99 in Somerville, near Boston every weekend and had great food and service. Man, I miss that one near Assembly Square. Auburn: You wait forever to get seated, you need to ASK for complimentary popcorn. You need to ask for water, and beverage. Dinner? Your food comes with rice and vegetable. Vegetable = 3 tiny stalks of asparagus. They get one star for the hard working staff. Service is always friendly and consistent at every location. They need to offer more than one vegetarian option. Doable, but this location has been the worst in all of Massachusetts so far! read more

I've always had good luck with Ninety-Nines. The menu is comparable to an Applebees or Uno and the prices are better. We have a full dinner, with two margaritas, a large wedge salad that we split and a kids meal, for $42 before tip. A comparable dinner would be at least $10 more anywhere else. Our twin 15-month-old girls usually draw a lot of attention, but the wait staff at this Ninety Nine was particularly impressive. They fawned over the girls for the entire meal and we got excellent service as a bonus. Whatever we asked for was there in a minute. The entire staff was unceasingly friendly. They split our $4 wedge salad and our girls' desert without prompting. The only negative was that the entrees arrived just a couple of minutes after the salads, but our server even apologized for that. Go Ninety Nine! read more

A Review of Ninety Nine Restaurants. By Dimitri D. I'll try to keep this review short because there's not too much to say about this place. Let's cut to the chase shall we? I like 99's. The food is always good, hot, fresh, generous, all those good things. Atmosphere is nice, wait staff is nice, I like a good amount of the menu options. Good for lunch, good for dinner, good for groups. To sum it all up, Here's what you can expect from 99's. Tasty food at affordable prices. I do recommend it. read more

Beware of upsell charges. Ordered a wrap and the waitress goes would you like soup or salad? (In a tone that implied it was included) this 99 has specials and others do not so I thought ok maybe it's included. Well it wasn't. Ordered a Caesar salad and it came out massive, was literally the entree version. I made a comment it's huge and she goes "oh he made it big". Well now this got me thinking ok how much is this going to be, it clearly wasn't included but they do have $4.99 4 course meal add ons so it can't be too bad if I'm charged. We get the bill and I'm charged $6 for the salad. My friend questions the waitress and she goes "oh I always ask if people would like a soup or salad" my friend told her that was misleading and she shrugged and walked away. Needless to say I won't be back. My friend then told me how at this same 99 if you pay with cash the waitresses will not give you back your coin change. She complained to the manager about this because her friend had told her they never give coin change when she pays with cash there and the manager didn't seem to care. Place likes to upsell and scam. I won't be back. read more

Decent prices and portion sizes, but the service was a little slow although we were there at 4:30 on a weeknight and it was not busy, maybe due to no early bird specials. The food was not good. There are few vegetarian selections. The salads are anemic and I was not given a choice of dressing. Instead the mixture of iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, and two cherry tomatoes was doused in a vinegar-heavy sauce. There was more iceberg lettuce in the bean burger, which only came in spicy. Calories are listed on the menu which is helpful, and with such unappetizing choices I had no problem staying within my calorie budget for the day. read more

I can't say enough about this place. Sat outside in perfect weather. The food was perfect. The service was excellent. Getting the right server in a restaurant can make all the difference. So if you go to Pub 99 in Auburn and Jen is your waitress, you will be well taken care of. I did not have have to look over my shoulder for service. Plus she had the menu memorized. Go there! read more
