My front camera is broken, so the best I can offer is this selfie. Enjoy.

Sometimes you end up at the 99 Restaurant & that's okay. On this particular occasion, it was exactly what my friend & I needed. We were coming off a tough evening, so the friendliness we were greeted with from the door to the table was SO appreciated. Our server, Blake, was cheerful, funny, & attentive. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. He definitely has innate service-industry skills that not everyone is blessed with. Blake - You're the man. I ordered the bacon & cheese burger with a gluten-free bun. The menu clearly labeled which items could be altered to accommodate gluten sensitivities, which was very helpful. That being said, the options for sides were limited (either mashed potatoes or steamed broccoli). I went with the mashed potatoes & was glad I did. My meal wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was good enough & it was gluten-free, so it hit the spot. My friend ordered a fresh fruit sangria (I took a sip & it was tasty) & her absolute favorite - the crispy honey mustard chicken salad. She asked for extra dressing, & Blake did NOT disappoint her. She said it was great, per usual. When we received the bill there was a QR code on it, making it wicked easy to pay & get going. On our way out to our bikes, Blake chased us down because my friend had forgotten her phone at the table. So in conclusion: sometimes a reliable, chain restaurant meal is exactly what you need to turn your tough evening into a good evening, & that's what happened at the 99 Restaurant on Saturday. Did I mention that Blake was the bees' knees?

Colossal lobster roll

Ordered a "colossal" lobster roll today and paid $40, including tip, in cash. I received 3.5oz of French fries, 5.5oz of lobster salad(including the container) and a side house salad. It was chocking to see how little food I got. I thought I got punked. Is this really what to expect? I can't believe what I got. I won't come back here and I've been a good customer. No thanks.

Popcorn for the table
Kristine S.

Hubby and I had never been to a 99 Restaurants before and decided to give them a try while on a New England road trip. We were seated immediately and quickly greeted by our server. We both wanted chicken tenders and figured it was a safe choice. He ordered the chicken tender meal with double French fries as his two sides. I ordered the appetizer chicken tenders without sides. I thought the popcorn instead of bread was a cool idea. The popcorn itself was good, buttery and good salt level. The chicken tenders came out within 10 minutes. Hubby's tenders were tossed in Buffalo sauce and were still crispy. The French fries were tasty, great dipped in Buffalo sauce. I ordered my tenders plain, not tossed in sauce. They were very crispy, almost too crispy. Also, some of the tenders were dry. The blue cheese, honey mustard and Buffalo sauce were all very tasty. Fast, friendly service and decent chicken tenders. I wouldn't necessarily seek out 99 Restaurants but would give them a second try.

The menu is underwhelming, doesn't have a lot to choose from. The food was blah. Was reminded why I haven't been to a pub 99 in years. The two stars are for the gold fever wings because that's all that worth eating there.

Ordered a "very well done" (first time ever hearing "VERY WELL") Vermont burger.

Ordered a "very well done" Vermont burger (first time ever hearing "VERY WELL"). Looks like we need some more training for the kitchen.

Service was outstanding and my favorite... The hot buttered lobster roll is back. Really.... All 3 bartenders were so friendly. My son and I really enjoyed ourselves... Plus The Master's was on. Doesn't get any better.... Golf, Lobster, beer and my son. Awesome!!! My favorite chain restaurant when they have the Hot Buttered Lobster Roll.

Everything you would expect from a chain restaurant. Service was ok. It was fairly clean in the dining room. Food was average.

If yiu didnt know they have tale out catering. Give them a try for yiur next event, or even family gathering. You won't be disappointed. I plan to stop in very soon to try a brew or two as well.

The schnitzel was nicely prepared with a side salad that was tasty and a decent mustard. The poutine fries were nicely done and fresh, but IMO, there was a bit too much gravy and not enough cheese curds on the poutine. That didn't stop us from devouring the whole thing though, it definitely was not bad. Ambience is chill with music playing at a lower volume. Mostly couples and small, chill groups in the spot. There was one small group with a baby but the baby was not overly loud or disruptive. Outdoor seating is available but we opted to be inside with the AC. Bartender seemed to be the only employee working both the tables and the bar and a little overwhelmed, so service was a bit slow. Would definitely stop back here and highly recommend the strawberry rhubarb brew! Clean, gender neutral restrooms.

They were done in a dirty style which is really good. Had a good crunch but still be tender on the inside and not soggy at all.

I love the decor inside and the names of the items on the menu was unique to musical artists which was cool. I will personally make the trip back to this place again.

With good reviews and a cool menu we dropped in and couldn't have been happier! We were pretty lucky as it was not that busy and we were able to get a table right away. The decor is eclectic and interesting. The staff came with a great smile and even better attitude; absolutely top notch! We started w the pretzels and beer cheese. Holy 6 pound baby Jesus they were good. They came out piping hot and the cheese was in a bubbling side dish. This isn't your typical dab of cheese in a plastic condiment container that is commonplace nowadays. I had the Arturo Sandoval (spin on a Cuban) as my entree and it was also fabulous and came out hot. If I was being critical, the pork was a wee bit dry, but that happens sometimes and it really didn't take away from the sando. Even the small side of pasta salad was outstanding. I'm lucky if I eat sides like that 1/100 times and this one I couldn't wait to finish. Great vibe, great staff, great food, and live music almost every day. Definitely gonna go back and if it's just as good will update to 5 stars.

Elizabeth's Farmhouse -- Putnam, Connecticut…read more By far one of the best meals I've ever had, and quite possibly the best burger of my life! Coming from Southern California with a culinary background, I'll admit my expectations can sometimes be modest when dining outside well-known food scenes. Elizabeth's Farmhouse didn't just exceed them--it blew them away. My wife and I arrived in Putnam looking for a quick bite and found this charming, approximately 50-seat restaurant with no wait. I ordered an Oktoberfest from a local brewery, while my wife chose an Old Fashioned. She ordered the Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap, I chose the burger, and we shared the German Onion Soup. The German Onion Soup was outstanding. The onions were caramelized to a beautiful deep amber, with rich umami, subtle garlic and shallot, and a wonderfully developed beef broth. The crostini, topped with perfectly melted Gruyère, brought everything together. Every component was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. Then came the burger--and this was no ordinary burger. Cooked to a flawless medium-rare, it featured thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, crispy red onions, aged sharp white cheddar, ancho chili barbecue sauce, and a perfectly seasoned Niman Ranch all-beef patty on a soft brioche bun. Every bite delivered an incredible balance of smoky, savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Nothing overpowered anything else. Without question, this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife's Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap was equally impressive, featuring tender meatloaf, creamy mashed potatoes, aged white cheddar, and house-made chipotle mayonnaise. Rich, hearty comfort food elevated through thoughtful preparation and excellent execution. Even the fresh-cut fries deserve recognition. Cooked beautifully and served with house-made ketchup that reminded me of an Italian nonna's homemade marinara. When even the simplest condiment receives that much attention, you know you're dining somewhere special. By the end of our meal, both plates were completely clean. As someone with a culinary background, I appreciate the difference between food that is simply prepared and food crafted with genuine passion. Elizabeth's Farmhouse is a shining example of the latter. To the chef and everyone behind the scenes: your passion for food does not go unnoticed. You've created something truly special in Putnam, Connecticut. I rarely write restaurant reviews, but this experience absolutely deserved one. Five stars, without hesitation. I'll be back hungry for more!

The service is sometimes great; sometimes...so-so. I've gotten different kinds and difficult to make out what the standard is for service. Overall-- good-ish. I made a reservation and was on time but my table was given to another customer who did not rsvp and was asked to wait for 20+mins. Happened twice. The interior is cozy and tight; but very cute and nice. Like its name; it's like a farmhouse decor. The outside architecture is all black and it may look closed but it is the restaurant :) ! A good restaurant to try out !!!

We recently tried the Dark Horse Tavern on a Saturday evening. We got there at opening (5 o'clock)…read moreand it was already dark out, it was confusing where the entrance was, but we found it. We entered and were immediately impressed by the decor and setting. You really feel like you entered a time capsule from a different era, everything is beautiful. We were seated in a cute little area. We ordered our drinks and we really wanted the fish chowder for our app, but they didn't have any (so disappointing). My husband decided on the chili and nothing caught my eye for an app, but I had some bites of the chili and it was very very good! For dinner my husband picked the Beef and Guinness Stew and I picked the Fish and Chips. My fish was very good, but it said it came with hand cut fries and there was no way they were hand cut, they tasted like everything other frozen fries I've had and they were really skimpy on the fries. My husband's Beef and Guinness Stew was awful, he said the meat was very grizzly and tough. We really enjoyed our experience dining in such a beautiful place, we might come back in the summer and give them another try.
