I went here with my granddaughter on Thursday she had the ribs and mashed potatoes with broccoli, and I had the bourbon onion burger with fries . The ribs were good the burger was good but a premade patty . We ordered the steak to go . Our waitress was very nice and our service was very quick. We were given popcorn and also given a refill . It's not bad for a quick meal . Nice atmosphere. Enjoy thanks Chris M read more

My brother and I were super hungry and was looking for something close by. Luckily, we bumped into 99 Restaurants! We were greeted with such good energy when we walked in and had the option to sit in many of places but opted for the bar so we could see the TV better. The Bartender was so friendly and we helped us immediately. We both got the Sam Adams winter ale, which is such a good beer! For my meal I ordered the fried chicken plate which came with mash, corn and biscuit.. it was so good. Everything was seasoned well and it was a decent portion for the price we paid. My brother got the chicken parm and completely cleaned his plate, so I believe it was really tasty lol The restaurant definitely gave sports bar feels and had TVs all around for easy viewing; great drink collection and the best bar food. Would definitely go back! read more

I'm not crazy about a bowl of popcorn thrown on the table before a meal..its cheaper than a basket of warm rolls w butter I guess..the menu is basically nothing to get excited about. It's great for wanting a quick sit down meal..not cheap but a grade up from Dennys..Shhhh..I prefer Dennys..um..its okay!! But I'd still go to Dennys before 99. read more

In town for a wedding and my family took us here for dinner. Restaurant was clean and not very busy for dinner time. I ordered sirloin tips with grilled onions, a side salad and steamed broccoli. They brought my salad first. It was alright. Nothing to brag about. I ordered my steak medium. It came well done. I also felt like the portion of steamed broccoli was very small. Otherwise it tasted alright. Nothing to rave about though. Service was good. Kept drinks refilled. read more

Such great service from Nevaeh. She was great at taking our order and was very helpful with what was good and what to get. I also got the opportunity to get to talk to Monica and she was also great. They were both very nice and helped my experience at 99. read more

An easy location to get to with lots of parking. We were warmly greeted and seated quickly. Our server was very nice and attentive. A large menu with a lot of options. I chose a half flatbread and soup. The flatbread was delicious but the soup was not good. The lobster roll was on special today and that was really good. A nice large portion of lobster. The restaurant is large with plenty of seating. A nice sports bar feel. read more

As part of our birthday celebration weekend, my hubby and I ventured over to the 99 Restaurant in Bristol only to be so delighted with our entire dining experience. For starters, you just can't beat the popcorn, the best ever. My hubby ordered a new buffalo chicken item they had on the menu and I had balsamic chicken both of which were just delicious. The highlight of the visit, however, was our incredible server, Lorraine. This young lady had the most vibrant, pleasant people personality of any wait staff I have encountered in a lifetime. She was so quick to serve and even quicker to want to please but her overall presentation was just delightful beyond words. She was not only friendly and sweet but funny and playful and was just the perfect touch of class for our first birthday weekend celebration dinner out. Though it is a restaurant chain, I would be remiss were I not to say that the atmosphere in the restaurant was so comfortable and clean and yes the food was delicious and affordable and our server Lorraine was the absolute best. She even insisted on bringing over strawberry shortcake for us, on the house, to finalize our birthday dinner. If you are looking for a super clean, fun and friendly place to enjoy a tasty, affordable dinner then don't delay in checking out this 99 Restaurant and make sure you ask for Lorraine! : ) read more

The last few visits, the portions are smaller and tonight my burger was under cooked. In the background, I could hear the manager argue with our server that i didn't know what medium was. It was raw inside and only half eaten. They offered a free petite dessert which I declined. Initially we had no silverware, which I had to abscond from another table and their were fewer fries on both our orders. The 99 is cheeping out in Bristol read more

I want to start by saying that the service itself was good, but that girl needs to find someplace that serves actual edible food to their patrons. I ordered the steak tips and tenders combo. I was severely disappointed. 4 sirloin tips that were more burnt than actually cooked, and 4 "tenders" that were no longer than 2 inches a piece and burnt so hard I almost cracked a tooth. Not to mention a prime rib, which used to be the main attraction here, that was visibly old and beyond tough. Overall everything about the place was disappointing aside from the service. Not coming back any time soon. I would have complained at the time but it was my niece birthday and I didn't want her to feel embarrassed that she picked this place that used to be so good. read more

This is my first time testing this restaurant chain out. I'm from NY so I've never had 99 but I can say this place gave me a great first experience. Service was great, good came out fast and was very tasty for what it's worth! The setting was also very nice, I'd compare it to an Applebees. Great for what it's worth! read more

We went for dinner (Friday night), and was immediately seated. Not too busy, but lots of curbside pickup. Our waitress was fantastic and very attentive to the allergies with my family. We were served in a timely manner, and drinks were filled immediately. Good food with exceptional service. We also noticed how clean everything was, even dinnerware. Good to see lots of smiling staff. read more

My son wanted to go here. It was his birthday and that is what he chose. While the food is not gourmet, it was good for a chain restaurant. We started with the boneless Buffalo wings and potato skins. The chicken was average but the potato skins were quite good. My wife and the birthday son had the all American burger with fries. Both were done just as requested and both were enjoyed. My other son and I got the tips and chicken tenders with fries. The tips were very good and again the chicken was average. They were a little dry. The fries were good and plentiful. Our waiter, Will, was excellent. Very attentive and efficient. He checked in with us throughout our meal but never made us feel rushed. All-in-all it was an enjoyable experience. read more

So my boyfriend and I are frequent customers at various 99 Restaurants. Last night we decided to visit the one in Bristol. Our waitress was great! Her name was Nevaeh. She was quite attentive and checked often enough to make sure we were happy. We ordered the seafood studies as an appetizer. I happened to see a small white piece of a shell sticking out of my stuffie. I just took it out and placed it on a napkin. Then I ordered a strawberry martini. It was not as pictured. Seems mind was missing the strawberry that should have been hung in the side of the martini glass. Also, it looked as if the glass wasn't as full as it could be. Anyway, the salads we ordered were tasty, but I did notice a light brownish color hair on the plate. Not too sure that I'll be going back there again. read more

It was ok. It wouldn't be my first choice. I was just hungry and was looking for a place to eat. They should add more healthy dishes to the menu read more

I usually have no problem with the Bristol CT store. First, the person bringing my curbside order out did see i ordered a cocktail. Then the bartender hadn't made it so the food got cold while we waited. Finally, I got home and my buffalo chicken wrap was honey BBQ. I even paid for blue cheese dressing to go with it. Very disappointed with today's order​ read more

This is one of the better chain restaurants in the area! I've never had a bad experience here. The food has always been good and the wait staff well trained and friendly. Kristina, our waitress on our last visit, was exceptional! The Shrimp Flatbread was simple but tasty! The Braised Short Rib Tacos were excellent! The presentation could have been a little better! Looked like they were thrown together in a hurry which they probably were because this place is pretty busy early Saturday night! Only problem I really have, bring back the Coconut Shrimp appetizer and BBQ turkey tips! read more

Their curbside pick up & online ordering was PERFECT! Online ordering was literally beyond simple - you can schedule for a specific time or of course ASAP & it gives you options to add or remove everything that is in the dish which is a huge plus for picky eaters like myself. We scheduled for 30 minutes out & the food was brought out on time to our car - no waiting or wondering if it was sitting there getting soggy & gross. It is a 5 out of 5 on that part but a 3 out of 5 on the actual food so I met in the middle with a 4! (This is a pandemic after all - seamless curbside is of the utmost importance!) Reason for the 3/5 on food: This is the 2nd time I ordered the black bean burger & the 2nd time it was overcooked. The edges have been burned each time & I had to tear them off instead of just digging right in. But the burger itself is flavorful & fries were perfect. Please stop burning my burgers lol. read more

We love the Forsetville 99! Whenever we are looking for a quiet local place to sit at the bar and watch a game, or simply grab a quick bite to eat, the Forestville 99 is usually our go-to. What stands out most about this 99 is their staff. I come here quite often with my developmentally disabled neighbor, Gregg, and he ALWAYS gets the most special treatment from our waitresses- especially Kristina and Saige. Gregg looks forward to stopping in to see his friends and enjoy a great meal. Thank you for your continued hospitality, Forestville 99! read more

I've eaten at 99 restaurants before and wasn't impressed, but my experience last night takes the cake. I ordered a meal from the (c-19 BS plandemic) take out menu with a friend who insisted she had to have their food. For $9.99 I got the double seafood with coleslaw. The portion of seafood was so tiny I burst out laughing when I opened the container. They only allowed one side so I got coleslaw. It was dry, obviously very stale. Her meal was like an appetizer as well. What a rip-off. NEVER again. read more

It has been quite some time since I've ventured into a 99 Restaurant and times have changed! They've revamped their menu since the last time I ate here and I have to say I was a bit impressed with the quality of food. I usually play it safe with "chain" places and order a burger. I ordered the "Stadium Burger" which is a mix of Italian sausage and ground beef, topped with provolone cheese and peppers. There is also a homemade mustard which I have to say was my favorite part of the sandwich! It was very good and I'd definitely order it again. It was comparable to a class 'sausage and peppers' grinder, but in burger format. For starters, we got the Caprese flatbread which was good, although I would have preferred more mozzarella and less Balsamic sauce (I felt it was a little too sweet, but it was good nonetheless) My boyfriend got the Bubble Green Tea for his beverage, and to my delight, it was actually quite refreshing! (Not sure how Bubble Green Tea fits into the restaurant menu, but it's still a good choice for something a bit different) The dessert menu was a bit lacking - nothing on it that I really wanted to try. I'd give this place a try again! read more

Good food! They always have strong drinks, good steak (always medium rare) and wonderful selection of sides. The fresh pineapple martini tastes like pineapple juice with a hint of alcohol, the steak was wonderful and delicious, and the vegetables weren't overcooked or burnt. read more

Wow! Such bad service at this place. Waitress seemed pissed that we were there. Took forever to take our order. Never checked for refills. Walking away from us as we asked for something. Couldn't get check. Table across from us had the same experience. We could hear them talking about how bad the service was. And they had their credit card on the table for 15 minutes waiting for the waitress to walk by again. Food is okay. Stay away. read more

Ah, the good ol' 99 chain. A true tried and true classic in my town, a place I would go and annoy the staff with my teenage antics, a place where I sat at the forbidden bar, only made legal with a guardian present. Fast forward ten years, and I'm really glad this place has updated some parts of it and of course, an updated, modern menu. Popcorn is still mandatory on each table (yessss). The food was still good. We had burgers, steaks, chicken tenders and french onion soup. We all enjoyed the French onion soup, and I had no complaints on anything else. Typical franchise food made right. Ended with a petite treat, and well, they're pre-made I'm sure cause that's sure how they tasted lol Service was a bit spotty but hey, I am a believer in equal opportunity for all. read more

I am not happy with 99. I went to dine in at about 7pm tonight, 1/28/19. It was fairly packed. A family walked in before us, and we walked in second. Their standing area in front of the host that will seat you is pretty small. Now, a third party would enter, and we're clustered tightly in the entryway, nowhere else to really go. Well over 5 minutes passed. I counted at least 7 employees back in the kitchen that looked over in our direction, yet no one came. The absurdity hit me and I said, 'Okay, no.' And I left. Won't be back for a while. More than 5 minutes is too long to acknowledge, and it's worse when you have nowhere to really go, while the staff gawks in and no one comes to greet. read more

Wait time was short. Very very friendly staff. Food came out at a reasonable time. Atmosphere was nice. Very clean except the restrooms should be swept a bit more. Good price. Good food. Great for kids, a date or almost any occasion. read more

I can't believe I'm giving a chain 5 stars yet here I am. Lobster roll was out of this world. Kids had steak and mac n cheese, food was great. Waitress was what made the night, she was amazing. We will be back for sure. read more

Great food and good service. They have safety precautions in place because of COVID. I was very satisfied.

The food isn't really that bad. I used to always get the Sirlion Tips, which were usually very tender and had good flavor. Last night I got the Tips and Chicken Tenders and the tenders were dry as a bone but the Tips were good. read more

This is a sit-down chain restaurant in a typical strip mall. Briefly, I thought service was good but prices were on the high side for casual dining. Expect to spend $12 and above for an average dinner entree. I ordered the Captain's Combo Platter, which is a selection of fried seafood, and found the portion size to be a bit smaller than what I expected. The restaurant provides free popcorn. read more

This is our family restaurant of choice. Nice atmosphere, good food that is consistently prepared and cooked the same way. Staff is very pleasant and attentive. The service is very good. On caution can get very busy after 4PM we usually go between one and three. Our favorites: Balsamic chicken, scallops, salmon, COD, barbecue wrap, and fish & chips. read more

Loved the country fried chicken dinner and the raspberry martini. Great place that 99 Resturant! You don't leave hungry!!

The food and service were phenomenal! Our server, Olivia, was attentive and extremely kind. We have never been to this restaurant before and will definitely visit again if we are in the area of one! read more

Good place for simply hanging out with friends or family. Ambience is quite simple and same as you find in any of other food chain restaurants/diners. Liked the cocktails, their menu has quite a variety of good drinks. I tried Hawaiian vacation and Barbadose Breeze, both were refreshing flavors. We tried the starters flatbread caprese and baked potato skin with cheese were very delicious. Starters were so good, even the quantity was more than enough for two people. Their $9.99 entree is having variety full of options. Overall this place is good option with reasonable prices. read more

McDonalds is better. The service was terrible it was lunch time and it wasn't busy at all but we still had to wait 20 minutes for the check. The food was bad, the onions were overcooked as well as the cookie skillet. The photos online with there menu are not accurate at all. Price of food is a bit too high for the quality. Do not recommend. Not going ever again. read more

So the trip to 99 began with an urge for a quick dinner before my girlfriend had practice. Sitting down within 5 minutes and having popcorn presented to us was a plus. The food was pretty good, plated well and came out fairly quickly, for a quick meal and a bill under 25$ I would go back. read more

99 is a hit or a miss. This is another place that my family likes and I have gone there a lot. It's a little pricey for the kind of restaurant it is. The food is OK, and when something isn't cooked properly the wait staff takes care of it without drama. It is efficient and the food is good without being spectacular. It isn't really homey like the Oasis down the street, but it has its own charm. Sometimes it is tough to get into the place. However, you don't have to wait too long to be seated. I never say "wow" after eating here, but I have never said anything bad about it either. So it is just A-OK for casual dining. I thought about giving it 4 stars, because other members in my family really love the place. But after all, this review is really my call. read more
