Service was actually terrible. We had to ask for silverware. Waitress didn't come over to us for 10 mins. Drinks easily took 10-15 mins. She rushed us. She didn't come check on us once. Food was terrible. broccoli tasted like it came forzen and in a plastic bag. my mac and cheese was maybe the size of my fist for a 18$ entree..... The hostess was amazingly nice and my welcome was warm. but the service and food is trash. read more

Food is just okay. Service was nice. If you just want better food than McDonald's this would be your place.

The food was amazing and our server Curtis was definitely meant to work with people. We were seated immediately after walking through the door. They play popular pop music and have popcorn served immediately. I am 100% satisfied with my experience! read more

This was my first visit to this 99 Caitlin was my server Right from the start I liked her!! She brought me my drink and gave me plenty of time to enjoy it before coming for my order Caitlin helped me become a rewards member My meal was very delicious I told her I was turning 82 and she brought me a rainbow colored birthday cake It was the perfect touch to my meal More waiters/waitresses should take a lesson from her She went beyond the normal service Jackie S read more

Had a dinner date with my 8 year old grandson last night. He had the kids' meal hotdog and fries. Said "this is the best hot dog I've ever had. The grilled bun is delicious." I had the sweet potato encrusted haddock. Not the best I've ever had but it was not bad either. A little "heavier" than I had expected. Broccoli was cooked well though and the baked potato was good. We enjoyed the popcorn appetizer and - bonus - kids' meals come with an ice cream sandwich. Our waiter was friendly and professional. There was plenty of seating and parking. Lots of televisions. read more

My wife and I try to go once a week and have good service at the bar. Food is good and drinks are good. I recommend visits.

Place is even worse now bleu cheese is no longer a choice it's an add on with their over priced chicken tenders, better choices in Lewiston auburn to spend your money. 17$ for the chicken tenders if you're curious read more

First 99 I've ever been to. We ended up going here twice in the week, because it was pretty good. I tried the steak, and chicken tenders. I ordered extra ranch with the chicken because I assumed it wouldn't include much, but it actually included quite a bit! I had a lot left over by ordering extra. Great place to eat and will be back when I return to Maine. read more

Good, prompt service and decent food for a decent price. Never had an issue with this location. It ain't the fanciest of dining, and there's bound to be some good people watching. read more

The more and more I come to this place the more I like it. I always order the same thing too: Smothered King Tips with loaded mashed potatoes and the vegetable of the day. These king tips are huge and I usually can't finish them all. I always walk home with a doggy bag from this place due to their large servings. The staff has been there quite for a while so its always nice to see familiar faces serving. They serve good alcoholic drinks along with nice TALL beers. One of two should take care of you from appetizer to dessert. read more

99 is not bad, especially for the price. I always order the Cheeseburger, and i'd say its great. It's a nice spot if you have kids too.

In this restaurants defense, I didn't willingly come here. My grandmother LOVES "The 99!" In my grandmothers defense, she literally has no taste buds left and will gladly go anywhere that serves pink lemonade. The reason I didn't give 1 star is because I feel like that 'honor' is reserved for REALLY bad experiences. I didn't have a REALLY bad experience, I just know that I will find other places that serve pink lemonade, because I'm not eating at "The 99!" again. Reason 1: It took a long time to get 2 sandwiches and 2 orders of boneless wings. Reason 2: I think it should be illegal to serve dry, cold burger buns. YOU GOTTA GRILL THEM, TOAST THEM, shoot hold them under the heat lamp, somethinggggg- just please don't send the dry, cold bun to the table. Reason 3: Our server was very nice. But, not nice enough to make it 3-star worthy, mainly because I'm still salty over the bun thing. Ttyl. read more

I'm very upset with the terrible experience I just had at 99. I ordered food to go for my boyfriend. I asked for Mac and cheese and boneless buffalo wings to go. First of all the buffalo wings weren't buffalo they were bbq or something else and it came with potato skins I guess. Then the food in the picture I have provided was apparently his macaroni and cheese?? This looks like leftovers from someone else's plate that belongs in the trash! He took one bite of the potato skins and boneless chicken and his lip and face and throat swelled up. He has a shellfish allergy and this looks like a possible cross contamination issue?? Not sure, however this experience will never bring back my business nor will I ever recommend anyone to eat at this establishment. Absolutely unacceptable and very very disappointing! My brothers food was cold that he ordered and on top of that his girlfriend pulled out a piece of plastic from her chicken. read more

My wife and I have been going to this 99 for quite some time now and are glad to see the Onion Soup back on the menu. Very good as always. My gripe is with the marinaded steak tips. They have been consistently very good as well, but the last 2 times here, there is definitely something missing. The robust flavor is gone. Still prepared well (I get the smothered tips), but not nearly as flavorful as in the past. IF you changed something in the way you prepare them, please reconsider going back to what has worked for years. Thank you. read more

I can't rate the food because service was so slow we went next door to Arby's. Another couple was still waiting. They appeared to be of an age to have a High School senior. They may miss his/her graduation. read more

I ordered the smothered king tips. I wanted them cooked medium, Half were well done and the other half were raw. I told the waiter and he had them cook me some more. Once again they came out raw. The cooks there don't know how to cook I guess. NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN read more

Clean and inviting. The music was a little too loud which made conversation a little difficult but the staff was friendly and attentive and the food was pretty good. Not great portions but it was hot and prepared pretty well. I'd give it another try in the future. read more

The Lobster roll was enormous and super-fresh...and the Series 2 Watermelon Ale brewed exclusively for 99 by Harpoon was the perfect complement. I wish we had this regional chain back in Michigan! read more

This place has one of the best happy hour nachos I have ever eaten. The service is very quick, and the environment is very open and friendly. read more

We went for lunch. It was cool and rainy, but we asked to sit outside for safety. Tables were 6 feet apart. They do have outdoor heaters, but they weren't used. I had chicken pot pie, which was good. Our waiter was using a bandana for a mask. It kept falling off his face, so he approached our table multiple times with his face uncovered. I eventually had to say something. We're trying to help their business, but I did not feel comfortable. read more

This review is based off one visit. This seemed like a typical neighborhood bar and grill. Nothing really stood out to me as far as character and excitement. The menu was pretty large, so there were quite a few options. I ordered French Onion soup and the steak and cheese flatbread. The soup wasn't very good. It was way to thick. The broth definitely needed thinned out and adjusted. The flatbread was the shining part of the meal. It was really good. I especially loved the white sauce drizzled on top. It tasted like it had some horseradish in it. I'm sure there are other good things on the menu, I'd probably rather go somewhere with a better atmosphere though. read more

My favorite place for Great food and fair prices. And you can't beat the service also! They offer a great menu and it doesn't have ridiculous entrees like those at other places that add crazy combinations of toppings on a burger or a steak!! read more

This place and the manager deserve a lot of praise. They took customer service to the next level during my stay in Auburn Maine that made me not only love the 99 more but Maine and its culture even more. 99 in general I think is one of the better chains that offer a great menu, and allow you to eat healthy on the go (reasonably priced salmon, turkey burgers and chicken that taste liked you cooked it at home with some love.) Beyond the menu, I was up in Maine with the Army for two weeks and chose to eat here just about every night for two weeks. They were super nice and had a great staff. I ordered some take out one night and I showed up and they never received my order. Strange.. as I had been calling them almost every night. Apparently I called the wrong 99 from the same town of Auburn but in a different state. (Note to self always type city and state in google) Despite it being my mistake, they knew I had to wait extra long for my food and I had been coming there a lot. They paid for/comped my food that night. The manager was extremely courteous. It's just a really kind thing to do. Management if you see this, give whoever works the front desk and the manager on Thursday's around 8pm a raise/praise/bonus! They have my business every month I come back here and any 99 I find when I'm traveling. read more

Good all around meal at Ninety Nine in Auburn by the Auburn mall. Potato skin appetizer was awesome, they fry the potato skins and then bake them with cheese and bacon if you wish. Nice and crispy and full of cheese. Free popcorn too to start with. App came out quickly as well as our drinks. Friendly waiter and host. Salad was good, but have had better at other Ninety Nine restaurants. No shaved parmesean on salad and much smaller than in previous times. It did have fresh mushrooms which are yum though. The hummus platter was good, fresh hummus that was really tasty with fresh veggies and pita. It also came with feta and olives. The sirloin tips were really tough and not easy to even chew, they were not a real good cut of meat. The tenders which came with it were excellent though. We got a free kids meal because the Red Sox won the nite before, which was awesome. Upgraded the one meal to a three course and got the salad and desert with it, for a small up charge. A pretty good deal. Overall a decent meal other than the sirloin tips. Will continue to go, but just not order that again. read more

What a wonderful place to eat and socialize ......The food is elegant....The price for a meal is really affordable....The service is out of this world.....And let me add honest....I had paid my bill with a much larger bill then I realize and told the waitress to keep the change.....She came back a couple minutes later and asked me if I new the size of the bill I gave her and showed me the large bill....It was then I new I had made a mistake.....She could have kept the money but did the honest thing.....God Bless her....Me and my friends love going there Along with excellent tasting food The honesty has won a forever patrons....... read more

This was my first time ordering to go and I will probably never do it again. Although the service was fast and friendly, the food was subpar. Both my friend and I ordered a cheeseburger with a side of fries and bacon Mac and cheese. While the burger tasty, it was very soggy, almost to the point of being inedible, I actually had to take the entire burger off the bun and throw it away. The fries were also soggy and tasted as though they had just come out of the microwave and the Mac and cheese was no better and was dry and completely lacked any sort of cheese. I don't usually expect much of chain restaurants, but I do expect more than a soggy and microwaveable meal. Sorry, but 99 will not get my business again. read more

I know it's chain restaurants... but VERY reasonably priced and very good portion size. Salad is always fresh, and wait staff is excellent. Liked the old decor better though. read more

One of my favourite chain restaurants is 99, and unfortunately they are only in the Northeastern part of the US. But their menu is always great, with something for everyone. So if you have a family of picky eaters, with a wide variety of appetites, this is definitely the restaurant for you. Now, I had two MAJOR disappointments on this trip. They have the best Lobster Rolls, hands down. And they are one of the few that had Connecticut Style Lobster Rolls (with butter and warm, instead of cold with mayo... Maine Style). However, I was informed that they are only available during the Summer. That was a huge let down. Also, I wanted a Sam Adams Octoberfest Beer, which was on the menu. They had sold their last one earlier that day and had switched to the Winter Lager. However, I did have this amazing Grilled Chicken/Green Apple Salad with an Apple Cider Vinegarette salad dressing. It was one of the best salads I've ever had and it was huge. I ended up passing on the beer after that and had some sweet tea instead, which would have passed in any Southern Restaurant. I am very bad about remembering server's names, but she was outstanding and very attentive. The restaurant was very clean and I was very pleased, despite the let downs. Please have the Lobster Rolls year round! read more

Always good food for a reasonable price, and wonderful staff. The quirky decor is awesome as well.

My husband & I love the 99 Restaurant in Auburn. The Prim Rib is excellent, & the price is right. We have tried other items and are always happy. read more

Best waiter ever didn't wait at all and were seated right away. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!!

Coming out of UMO and having one lackluster experience with what I thought was a pretty generic menu at the 99 in Bangor about a decade ago I thought I'd never eat at one again. Thankfully I went for a school fundraiser and discovered the menu must have been revamped because the food was great! Making your meal a 3-course one with a petit treat at the end is a great deal. It is also a great price with many good portioned entrees only priced around 9.99. Definitely worth the stop. read more
