Based on the reviews, I was a little skeptical to come, but MAN I'm happy I did! We are not from the area, so I had no idea. This was actually somewhat of a chain restaurant, but when you walk in, it has a very homely feel. In addition, everyone is so friendly from the bartenders, to the servers, to even our fellow diners! And the food was excellent! My husband got the ground steak, and I had my first ever buttered Lobster Roll! It did not disappoint, and I was super impressed by how much meat they gave you. Our kids had the cheeseburger and chicken fingers meals and they were free because the Red Sox won the night before! What a cute incentive that we also knew nothing about lol. You can't beat the price point. We're only here for another few days, but I will definitely be returning. read more

We keep coming back here because it's still my 92-year-old aunt's favorite spot. She always orders the haddock and is consistently happy with it. On this visit, we also tried the French onion soup, rustic bread, and a house salad with chicken. Unfortunately, my chicken was very dry. I probably should've gone with a burger, which I've enjoyed here before, but I've been trying to stay on a bit of a health kick. The soup was a bit bland, and while the rustic bread was just okay, it's not something we'd order again. Service was good, and we'll likely be back--especially with my aunt leading the charge. That said, three stars feels about right for this visit. read more

We had a very disappointing experience with our server, Larssany. From the beginning, she never once asked if we needed anything or if everything was okay with our food, while we clearly saw him being very attentive to other tables around us. It felt like our table was simply ignored. Another issue was the way he handled the dishes. Every time he brought something to the table or removed plates, he would drop them onto the table instead of placing them down properly. Since the table is made of wood, this created a lot of unnecessary noise and felt careless. When it was time to bring the check, he didn't show any basic courtesy. She didn't say a word, didn't ask if we wanted anything else, and didn't even acknowledge us. She simply dropped the check on the table while walking by on her way to another table. The food itself was good, but the service completely ruined the experience for us. Because of this, unfortunately we will not be coming back read more

It's a regular restaurant and a good place to grab a quick lunch before going to the gym next door. Plenty of parking and a loud TV for sports and entertainment. The place clean the service is good and fast. read more

I haven't been here in quite a while, and I was happily surprised with the outcome. We were a party of four and we sat at the bar. They give you free popcorn at the bar. The drinks were flowing and the food came at a decent pace. Everyone was happy with their food and drink. We were surprised with a trivia contest. Congratulations to my daughter who came in first. . The girls behind the bar were very courteous, polite, and on point. The place was jammed and everything seem to run extremely smooth, including the trivia contest. Parking is easy and plentiful. The restrooms were fairly clean and modern. . read more

This 99 Restaurants was very good a few years back, now not so much. Coming home from the hospital, saying let's try the 99 and see if it has gotten any better, no it has not. Like they say 3 strikes and your out, we will never try this 99 again. They could use a new manager who cares about the quality of food being served to its paying customers. read more

My experience is based off DoorDash, so I can't speak for in-person dining. My husband and I had an evening flight into Boston and got to our hotel around 8 pm. We decided to get DoorDash for an easy dinner before calling it a night. I'm horribly gluten intolerant, and I was thrilled to find this restaurant had several options. We called to let them know of my food allergies once the order was placed, and I didn't get sick from the shrimp. My husband had the chicken tenders. I would definitely order from here again if I'm back in New England. I'm not a lover of chain restaurants, but since this is localized to NE (and I'm in Texas), I'll make an exception . read more

Kids eat free when the Red Sox win, so that's what we did since we were nearby. I thought the food was good, and the popcorn at the start of service was a hit with the kids. Our server messed up a vegetarian order (they brought out fish and said something right as my friend was putting his fork into it). They were quite apologetic and eventually the correct order came out. I liked sitting in a booth and appreciated that food came out quickly. I would go back if there was an opportunity. read more

*Introduction* I've gone here a few times and 99 is basically a lesser quality version of Applebees. I knew what to expect what going on and had no problems at first. I walked in and there was no hostess in sight. I waited a few minutes and a hostess arrived. She was unfriendly and didn't seem like she particularly liked working there. I said to myself, 'okayyyy strange but maybe she's having a bad day...' I asked for a window seat and she barely looked at me as she said follow me. She then proceeded to walk past a few open tables with window seats and then found me a table all the way in the back and said 'if you give me a few minutes I can clean this off for you.' I responded, "actually we passed a few tables. What about this one?' She was surprised and said 'oh okay sure! " Overall, I didn't get the sense she liked her job...not a fan. *Part I: Warming Up* I sat down and waited and waited until a waittress came. She didn't say her name and her energy is low maybe even irritated. Long story short, I placed my orders and kept it a friendly tone as she went back and forth. She even helped me charge my phone. Thank You! ...I ask her for her name and smile. We do a little bit of small talk and now she's opened up to me. It's a good vibe. The food itself was okay. I can't complain. Great portions but mediocre quality. I knew what to expect going into 99 restaurant so I had no complaints. Fast forward, I am getting ready to pay the bill. I put an order to go for my mother. And then Jocelyn (who I had no real issues with up to this point) hands me the receipt with instructions to PAY ONLINE. I proceed to enter in my mother's card information and it doesn't go thru. I try it again and it doesn't go thru. **My mother immediately calls me telling me it went thru TWICE. *Part II: The Issues* I tell Jocelyn that the charge went through twice can you double check. At this point things got unexpectedly hairy... First, she comes back saying it didn't go through it all on our side. I said I know but it went through twice on mine. She says "i'll be right back." At which point I never saw her again... Instead a random guy I never met comes to my table demanding payment saying that credit cards don't work with their online payment system. He doesn't introduce himself. Doesn't apologize for the issue. He says we have to use a physical machine for credit cards. I say 'okay not a problem.' The man never comes back... What bothered me though is why in the hell would Jocelyn/the restaurant give me a receipt to pay online and not mention anything about not being able to take a credit card? Because my irate mother is on the phone asking the same damn thing. So here I am waiting for Jocelyn to come back to the table (it's now been 20 minutes) and she is no where to be found. I don't even see her in the restaurant and I can even see the kitchen from where I am standing so she didn't pick up and serve any orders either. *Part III: The Waiting..* So here I am waiting and waiting and waiting. Other people are being served. Tables are being sat. The hostess from before is walking past me still a bit unbothered and slightly irritated similar to Jocelyn's immediate energy. At this point I begin to notice that some of the staff that use to work here (at the same time) are not here. I begin to wonder if this place has low retention and bad management. At this point it's been 40 minutes if not longer. Keep in mind, I've already eaten and I've been ready to go since I ordered the food to go (over an hour ago). So I am sitting there for an hour basically waiting for Jocelyn to come or for management to figure it out. *Part IV: The Other Guy* Instead, ANOTHER guy comes to my table. No introduction. No nothing and just starts off going 'so we haven't received payment on our end.' At this point, I am bit baffled by how rude the management is. No one in management seemed to give a f- about the issue nor have a regard for customer service. Added with the mediocre food I was just so disappointed and furious at the disrespect. Meanwhile, Jocelyn had left me almost an hour ago while I was waiting for her to come back. It 110% felt like she was hiding from me...so it made the whole situation unnecessarily awkward and just was a poor show of professionalism. I never ever bring up a fuss in a restaurant and again the whole thing felt awkward because just before this I was sitting there telling Jocelyn about my mom and smiling back and forth with her but the situation was so apalling, the customer service was so disrespectful, and the management was so poor, that when the SECOND manager came to my table (with my waitress nowhere to be found) with no introduction but simply 'so we haven't received payment on our end' I go 'well, did the first guy explain the situation?" 'Yes" 'well, then why did you just leave me here?" and you could tell he felt uncomfortable and said "i'm sorry about that sir." Terrible Experience... read more

Haven't been here in years. We stopped in last night after an evening in Boston. Had a few cocktails that were great flavor and generous on the Tito's. Had a fried calamari that was super crispy, firm, delicious and good size portion. The bartender/server was a real get goer, always moving, super friendly and kept the bar area immaculate. read more

Doordash order that the restaurant dropped the ball on every way possible, asked for ranch paid for ranch low and behold no ranch. Asked for Pepsi got not only a Diet Pepsi but an expired Diet Pepsi Xl order of wings is 5 tenders no more no less, the caramel skinny desert is basically the size of golf ball so save your 5 bucks and get something else And utensils..... what are they..... just because you request them doesn't mean the restaurant puts them in the bag... read more

99 Restaurants - Expired Diet Pepsi that should have been a regular pepsi - Seafood Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

First time at a 99. I guess if you're from New England it's like an Applebee's if you're from the Midwest. Affordable. Chain restaurant. Nothing special on the menu. Great place to watch a game, though! The large rectangular bar seats 30+ and is host of 6 big screen TVs with the game SOUND ON! Big beers on tap. Appetizer specials for $5. Great place for the games here in New England :) read more

Amazing customer service! Hats off to the manager Bill here for turning a sour situation into a win. I had been here last week with my service dog Maverick who is finalizing his training as I have PTSD from stuff related my service days (nuff said, no poor me things). Last week the staff was amazing as well. One incredibly insecure, ignorant bartender was beyond rude to us. The result? A great experience as always at this iconic New England chain. I honestly am so happy this was the result. God Bless. Thank you from Maverick Abe Tim read more

I come here often and I feel I always get what I pay for. They are right down the street and we dine in maybe once a month. Most of the time I order a burger but I'm never afraid to order a steak here. The manager was always sensible with complaints and has went out of his way to correct it. For me the beer and the service is why I always go back. Consistency is key. read more

You can always rely on the 99s for a nice chilled big boy beer mug and a coors light to go in it. Also, the fahckin gold fevah wings dude - good as evah! Alixx our waitress was great. Down to earth, had a nice personality, was timely with things and attentive. Bill the manager was FLYING around the joint with his head on a swivel. Watched him treat/greet/sit customers like they were his own family. Definitely impressing considering he runs it like he owns the joint - you dont see that often, especially at chain restaurants. read more

So Summer is almost upon us. I sat down for a lunch break and saw their "collosal" lobster roll. Collosal my ass. For 20 dollars, they put a few pieces of lobster and a ton of celery. That's not the worst part. The bottom was stuffed.. STUFFED with lettuce and they hid it quite well with the minuscule amount of lobster meat ( which by the way, was all knuckle and some claw ). You're better off going to Kelly's Roast Beef down the street. You'll get much more lobster for your dollar and they dont claim its "collosal". read more

I'm on a business trip in Boston for a few days. A group of us headed down to the Sand Sculpting Festival- we had a great time there. I normally eat at Kelly's when I'm in Revere- I was craving a lobster roll, or the fresh shucked oysters looked amazing too. When my colleague says she made us a reservation in a nearby restaurant, I was hesitant. It was such a pretty day. I was hoping to sit outside and enjoy the great weather. She takes us to a restaurant that reminds me of a sizzler from the outside, the inside wasn't much better cosmetically. I am glad I sucked it up and stayed with the group. Our food was surprisingly good. We all added on to our meals- I think it was called add 3? 2 of us had the baked scallops and 2 had the warm butter lobster roll. We all added the seafood chowder. The baked scallops were good, my friends said the lobster rolls were good as well. I still think the Kelly's one looked better- but this one is warm. I may need to come back and try it. Our meals came with a nice petite dessert as well. Our server was friendly enough- but he kept calling us girls. I found that grating after the 3rd time he said it. I noticed a pamphlet on the table, advertising happy hour. Monday-Friday. 3-6 and 8-close I noticed other tables had popcorn. Not sure if everyone gets it usually, we weren't offered any. We had plenty of food. Plenty of parking. Seems like were the locals hang out. Also noticed a banner when we left that kids eat free when the Red Socks win. That's fun to cheer for the home team. Overall, this place could use a facelift... the food we ordered was good. I would go back. Maybe if I come back and it's too cold to wander down to the beach. read more

I come here religiously but something fishy was up the other night with my fish and chips they looked and tasted like frozen fish sticks from the supermarket very disappointing. And the wait staff was unusually rude last night I mean they had there normal attitude like always but then they had This sas that I did not like at all very disappointed won't be coming back and the atmosphere is very depressing 1st of all the restaurants is dingy and dark and the staff all seem very upset with there jobs read more

This place gets such a bad rap. I have heard about it and because it's a chain I never wanted to try it. I tried it based on their salads and ended up ordering a few days in a row via DoorDash. The food is very good, if nothing else it is consistent. I highly recommend. read more

This might be a much loved local/regional chain but I hardly consider this a cut above any national hamburger chain. Not a favorite by any stretch. read more

Bring back the Fish and Chips!! I used to order pick-up about once a month but their new menu doesn't have their Fish and Chips -- which were honestly better than Kelly's on the beach even. I gave their new fish options a try but no, thanks...butter soggy cracker crust. Didn't work for me. Back to Kelly's I go. read more

Food is good, but service , you feel like your bothering the bartender. Sorry I dined in.

My family likes the 99 because there's something for everyone. Really disappointed lately. About a month ago, we went and I ordered the sliced sirloin that I have ordered numerous times before. Always comes with potatoes and carrots. It came out without a vegetable and we asked about it and the waitress denied that it came with anything else. Today I visited and ordered the prime rib. I asked for a bistro salad for one of my sides and my waitress said it would be extra despite the card on the table advertising the prime rib with the salad as clearly being an option. I have no problem admitting I'm wrong or if I made a mistake. We don't like making a big deal but this is becoming an issue. read more

They wouldn't allow us to sit on their empty, makeshift, parking lot Covid-19 patio with our small, leashed service dog. The dog is allowed in the parking lot but not the area of the parking lot they have coned off for a "patio"? It's not like it's always a patio and this is just their "rule". There were zero other customers on this "patio" at 7:00 on a Saturday night, yet we were still turned away. We fully respect restaurants who have outdoor seating whose license doesn't extend to pets, but this is not the case here. We thought restaurants needed business now more than ever, but the 99 won't be getting ours. read more

Trivia night was something I didn't expect here and if I had the time to sit for 2-3 hours, I would come back!

Stoped by this 99 on my way home from work, sat at the bar and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and especially the service!! The bartender (Jessica) (glasses,blond) was so sweet. She was busy but still made it over to me quick, so I was impressed. She was friendly and seemed to know everyone at the bar (a lot of regulars I think), but still made time to ask me how I was and continually check on me. The food was delicious, it came out not completely as ordered but was caught by the bartender before I even noticed and she fixed it immediately. I got a bbq chicken sandwich. The fries were good, and sandwich delicious! I don't normally write reviews only when service and food is amazing. This was the case tonight. Thanks!! I'll be back! read more

Told the bartender I was vegan and I didn't even have to open the menu which is unusual. She recommended the black Bean Burger which comes with Guacamole and fries or salad. Was really delicious.

I've enjoyed going here for a long time. I generally eat there once a week since some of their specials are very affordable. Average food but fairly priced. Last night I decided to try their take out service for the first time. The cold food really didn't disappointment as much as the 4% charge I received for taking the food home. 4% charge? I do not understand this since it is less expensive for me to take the food home rather than take up a table and have the services of the staff. I know 4% doesn't come out to very much but it is still an extra charge that leaves a bad taste. Last time for me, there are other places to pick up food that do not charge extra for pickup. The sad part is that if I ate there and took home my left-overs there would not be a charge. read more

It would appear they have had some staff changes and it shows. The bar staff with a couple of exceptions do not belong behind a bar. Waiting 15 minutes before being asked what I would like to drink, waiting endlessly for a bar check, trying to get a bartender's attention as they chat together at one end of the bar. The last time I was there the slim number of people seated at one end of the bar were left without any service a long time. At one point one said aloud ' Is she ever coming back down here? '. It's bad. There are a couple good bartenders, one a young man who really knows his stuff. One of the female bartenders is good but I rarely see her. The others just really should not be bartending. One of them is outright surly. I took notice the last two times I was there was absence of the regulars who would once be there without fail on a Friday night. The food is still good. But sadly I am done going for dinner and drinks at the bar. It's just not enjoyable at all. read more

I haven't been to this location in a long time. I love the new décor and booths. Our waitress was very friendly. I was sad to find out they do not have Angry Orhcard on tap. That is the only beer I like during the fall months. The waitress suggested I try another beer with a hint of cranberry in it. Thanks!! It was a great call and didn't even taste like beer lol. My friend and I had some mozzarella moons which were a yummy start to the dinner. Being Friendsgiving weekend we both decided to treat ourselves to a seafood combo dinner which was very good. I think the 99 really does seafood dinners well for a local chain restaurant. We ended the night on a sweet note with an apple crisp type dessert. This location is great for all seasons as it is close to Revere Beach and there is a small strip mall besides it. There is always plenty of parking. read more

I stopped into the 99 with my son. Their infamous buffalo boneless buffalo wings were calling to us. So we ordered the potato skin/buffalo wings sampler for 12.95 a cheeseburger meal with fries and my son got chicken mac n cheese. The food was just really bad. The fries tasted like fish and old oil, the wings tasted like they were sitting under a heating light, the potato skins looked like they came off someone's plate and microwaved. The meal was just horrible. I don't know if it was the location, because as a rule we go to Charlestown and never had an issue, but revere 2 stars and only because the waitress was awesome. If we could put her in the charlestown location it would be perfect. So disappointed and a waste of money. read more
