The ambiance is very cozy American and the wall decorations are supportive of the local community in town. The facility is surrounded by plenty of well lit and level parking. The building is easily accessible for those who are handicapped and there is plenty of handicap parking available. 99 Restaurant demonstrates great pride in supporting their local community giving back in numerous ways from fund raisers to small contests inside each restaurant. 99 Restaurant is well known for their steak tips and turkey tips (when available), burgers and seasonal specials. Never a dull or boring menu at the NINES as their seasonal menu alwt has something that will catch anyone's eye. Today I had the pleasure of being served by both a shift manager Julia and my regular waitress Connie; who's always top top notch. I was literally being tag teamed by Julia and Connie when I first arrived. The service was flawless!! It was wonderful !! Whenever I am here, this particular 99 is always well managed and goes about and beyond. I consider 99 Restaurant to be a hidden gem next the menu prices are extremely reasonable for what you get between food quality, speed of service, consistent service with knowledgeable / loyal staff. What more can you ask for ? Oh you wannto hose an event here and you want to know what the capacity is for parties and events ? Parties up to 30 can be hosted with a phone call ahead for advance notice. I highly recommend 99 Restaurant for a wonderful dining experience !! 99 Restaurant is a excellent option for Super Bowl Sunday this weekend !! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch. Seated quickly and served fast. Server was pleasant and patient. Mango ice teas were a little lacking in overall taste but still good. Our entrees came out pretty fast but the seafood trio had some raw shrimp in it so as had to send it back to get recooked. Club sandwich was good and the Vermont cheddar chicken sandwich was very good. Although we ordered one with potato chips, which I figured they made in house. Was disappointed when the plate showed up with a bag of chips. read more

Thursday, May 21, 2026 my husband and I went to the 99 steakhouse for dinner. I was drinking a glass of water that the waitress brought me . The water had particles floating in it when I asked her about it. She looked bewildered, as if she has nothing to do with it. When I continue to question her about where she got the glass and where she got the water, she at some point, even shrug her shoulders as if it was a mystery . I was disgusted... and I still am. very upset read more

Disappointing. We've always loved going to 99 but most of them in CT are now gone. This was our first trip to the Wallingford one. They had a small $14.99 and my wife had the turkey plate from there. It was excellent. I had the steak tips, which were always our favorite, and known for them, but they came out from a different recipe and were tough to eat. The waitress took it back and I had the fried chicken instead. Unfortunately it wasn't the good fried chicken I've often had there, but the country fried chicken. It was over fried. Our waitress was great but we won't eat there again. read more

I've been back a couple times since my review and this time we were lucky to get Aimee again. Food was great and she makes the experience even better! She is so very authentically friendly. This time I had the fish sandwich with fries-very good. read more

Nice local sports bar with tons of menu options! I got the fish and chips and it was such a large piece of fish, I couldn't finish it all. It was pretty good but very flaky. The fries and slaw were also good. I love that they give you popcorn to snack on too. The service was nice and friendly. read more

Happy that the restaurant is still around after so many have closed. The menu and the food are decent. And the prices are moderate.

Went with the family last night. This place is consistently good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. For many, portions were large enough for some take home. Servers very friendly, prices fair. Good, consistent American food. Of course we'll be back. read more

The service was really good and fast. They give you popcorn right away wich you can have refilled as much as you want. Today I got a bacon cheeseburger The plate was completely finished because it was delicious. I got the broiled steak tips with mashed potatoes and rice I got them cooked medium and they came out perfect. I never have to put any sauce on them because the flavor is on point. For appetizers I got the mozzarella moons which are always good and the spinach artichoke dip which was a little too hot when I took that first bite but that's my fault. The popcorn is salty and buttery and unlimited and absolutely delicious and who can say no to popcorn? This is one of my go-to's if someone can't pick a place, it's the place to go. read more

Edible and mostly decent but honestly reminded me of school cafeteria food. So if that's what you're after, go for it! The server at lunch was really hustling as she appeared to be alone. Very nice and skilled server. Bar looks good for a few beers. read more

Caitlin was an amazing server! For a pub, family style chain restaurant, this one rocked!! I give it 99 out 100 points!! Price, clean, atmosphere, food, service-checked all the boxes... Dessert choices could be better... some pies would take this place over the top! My country fried chicken dinner was worth every calorie and clogged artery!! Our family reunion couldn't have been better than this rustic, down home eatery! read more

My wife and I are regulars of this 99. Today 2/12 we arrived at 3:50pm and we were told the prime rib would not be for another 45 minutes I then ordered the T-bone for $38. They also said the baked potatoes would not be available for another 45 minute So I ordered mashed potatoes as they suggested. The steak was thin and the worst i have ever tasted it was thin overcooked They also served me a baked potato the size of an egg which was so burnt on one side you could not cut thru it. The manager came by after I complained and said they would have given us something different had they been aware. Disappointed and or last visit.0 read more

Ordered the steak tips for dinner was suppose to include potato and steak tips. Salad or soup for some reason the soup cost and extra $8 ? The steak tips were very spicy with done busting , but dry and tough as horsemeat not impressed with the dinner at this one , the sidebar done kind of cheese added up her salad which. Didn't sit well after we got home. read more

Best food ever! Got grilled chicken with bacon onions and peppers. Got a side of mashed potatoes with gravy amazing! For dessert I had an oreo brownie petiet treat. Everything amazing! read more

This was my first time going to Ninety Nine. The restaurant had a nice bar area, and we found the staff (hostess and servers) to be very friendly. A nice touch was when being seated we were served a bowl of popcorn. I ordered the Country Fried Chicken that came with mashed potatoes, corn, and a honey glazed biscuit. I also was able to substitute of the cranberry sauce for broccoli.My wife ordered the Honey Mustard Chicken Salad. The salad was huge. Our food came out very quickly, and we were both very pleased with our entrées. I also found the prices here to be very reasonable. The service was excellent. To top it off they were celebrating their 70th anniversary, and gave us each a scratch off card. We each won $5 off a $25 food purchase. read more

Out to eat with my Dad & son today . They still have bowls of popcorn to snack on while you browse through the menu. The waitresses are attentive and friendly making sure every detail was taking down. My dad had a ribe-eye pork chop which you can cut with a fork it's so tender and juicy . He tells me he comes to 99 in his town once a week for this meal . My 10 yr old had a appetizer just boneless Buffalo tenders which he loved so much and he added a side of their tasty coleslaw today. I had my favorite country gravy over chicken breast . Flavorful & juicy I could definitely eat this meal again and again. I had mashed potato & corn with a fantastic honey covered fresh biscuit on the side . read more

We are not regulars - they don't know us by name, but we have been there several times - Always good - never a complaint. Whenever I eat out - I get steak. 99 never had Rib-Eye. I was very excited to see Rib-Eye on the menu, so I ordered it. I received a NY Strip. Told Waitress - She got "the Manager", I think. He came out & I told him the problem. He said it is Rib-Eye. I said it's not a Rib-Eye. He said it is Rib-Eye we cut it off the Rib-Eye every day - do you want something else? I said it doesn't look like Rib-Eye, it doesn't taste like Rib-Eye, it doesn't cut like Rib-Eye. I said look at all the nerve in it - he didn't look. He said it is a Rib-Eye, do you want something else? He should've offered to take something off the bill. I didn't notice the price of the NY Strip, but looking at your website now, Rib-Eye is about $7 more. I didn't want to waste the food, so I just no, never mind. I am 63 years old, have been eating Rib-Eye since I was 14 years old. It is the only cut of meat I buy & I still eat it every week. He wasn't rude, but treated me like I was an idiot, like it was my 1st time eating Rib-Eye. Either he's a vegetarian, or doesn't eat meat, or just doesn't like to please his customers. Here are the pictures from YOUR menu. Rib-Eye and NY strip are CLEARLY different, and he obviously doesn't know the difference. I don't know who that was that came to my table, but they should've sent the chef - THEY would've known right away. read more

I've been here quite a few times since discovering it back in 2017. There's a bunch of options on the menu, the staff is usually pretty friendly, and the food comes out pretty good. One of the things I love is that they serve ya popcorn instead of bread and butter. Overall, nothing too spectacular but definitely a good place to stop in if you have no idea what to make for dinner or just want to go somewhere for a quick eat. The restaurant let's kiddos eat for free when the Red Sox win so definitely check the scores and bring your family in for cool the deal. Parking is mostly spacious but can be pretttyyy packed on the weekends or Friday night. Definitely recommend calling ahead and putting yourself on the wait list. read more

Food is always good and inexpensive. My kids love the free popcorn and I like the cheap drinks. They are short on staff right now, so service can be slow. read more

I've been here many times so I know how the food comes out. I had the haddock with the breadcrumbs, which I requested to be lightly toasted. It came out with the breadcrumbs more blackened than usual. When I said something to the person who brought it out, which I believe was the manager, he just responded that they bake it in the oven. This resulted in the fish being dry. It seems that a little less time in the oven would have solved the problem. On top of that, the French fries were too done. I've had this many times & they are usually able to cook it the way I requested. I think that this cook likes to overcook the food. read more

Visited in Wallingford in March 2022. This place is well lit and rather easy to find. Parking is appropriate and free. Ambiance is very casual. The menu has a variety of options. The staff is friendly and attentive. The drinks are ok, not great but acceptable. I ordered the turkey tips and chicken tenders. I noticed that they tend to over cook so when asked, if you like well done, say well, not charred. If you are looking for a very reasonable food and drinks, this is for you. Oh... by the way they have trivia and happy hour specials. Thanks... Happy Dining read more

Enjoy 99, menu is limited with mostly comfort food. My wife and I have found a menu item unexpected for 99, they offer a stuffed shrimp with or without steak. Stuffing is excellent and shrimp are plentiful with outstanding flavor. In past we enjoyed prime rib but no longer on menu, shrimp is welcome addition and we will visit more often due to this addition! read more

Solid 3.5 stars for this 99. Always pleasant servers, popcorn at the table, solid menu. I love the country fried chicken, the mashed potatoes are good, and the steamed veggies & cranberry that come with it make it like Thanksgiving dinner yum! My daughters like potato skins, or pasta, or burgers from here. Coupons are sometimes available and I love a bargain so that's when we visit. read more

Ill keep it simple, overpriced. Bad food. Generic yet still manages to be worse that all of its competitors. I bought three things. Haddock, steak, and the chicken tenders. The haddock had the most promise it was flaky and with the lemon you almost believe you are enjoying your meal. But it was dripping in juices and water. It arrived lukewarm. The breading was falling off from the moisture and was soggy and the whole dish had an overly fishy taste The steak was the best thing but that's because it is a steak. It was small so make sure you recognize the OZ of the steak you order. The chicken tenders....my God. By the looks of the menu versus what you get in person it looks like the grounds for a false advertising lawsuit. It is the size of a green bean but shriveled up and dry with the breading falling off. I was in such shock when first looking at my order because I could have sworn I did not order calamari. But I found out even calamari is not this dry and chewy. There are numerous similar diner restaurants, go to an IHOP. This restaurant is highly dissapointing. read more

$54 for these 2 Seafood Trio's and an all Star burger. This was a ToGo order. If I'm paying this much I would like to have food that doesn't look like it was scraped out of someone else's plate. The fish was chopped up, 3 shrimps and 3 scallops some fries and broccoli. Everything was good except for the portions. Seafood Trios were $17 a plate. read more

My wife and I dined here last night and it was a great experience. It was clean, the food was good, and the service was fast. The waitress Caitlin, was one of the best I have had in a long time, if not ever. I don't like to base anything on one experience but it was so good they deserve a good review. Management and trainers seems to be on top of things and any good business has to have good management. Since Chili's has gone down the tubes this place will fill that void. Thank you Caitlin for an exceptional experience. read more

Unique was awesome :) great meal . She brought us extra napkins and blue cheese . Very friendly

Tried curb side delivery and it was surprisingly simple. Did not want to enter my credit card on the app and it was no problem. A host came right out to my car to take my card, and ten minutes later, was back with my order. Delicious steak tips, lumpy mashed potatoes, and fresh cole slaw. My new favorite order. read more

The latest visit has been a disappointing experience. From the start, we stood at the entrance waiting to be seated for about 2 mins without anyone even acknowledging us. I knew from that point that it seemed to be short staffed and was second guessing our dinner. We finally sat and the restaurant was fairly empty and not busy at all. Our waitress took our order and that's where the wait ensued. We waiting about 40 mins for our food to be delivered to the table. This was highly out of the norm because we normally had food at the table in about 20 mins. When I finally got my meal, the steak was almost well done and I requested medium. The steak was tough and dry because of the well done temperature. This visit was probably one of the worst visits and I have eaten here quite a bit. Please get your stuff together. read more

Why just why? When a customer orders a salad to go why of all things do you ignore their wish for the dressing to be on the side??!? Dressing should always be on the side. This is the last time I go there. This isn't the first time they have screwed up my order. Totally not worth my time anymore. read more

We got pretty much what you'd expect out of a low end American pub, which, rather than their tag line of "great food, great drink", is more like "mediocre food and drink, at best". Waitress was fine, seemed kind of uncomfortable and nervous but was attentive and friendly. We were seated right by the hostess station, so we had the pleasure of listening to two waitresses and a manager gossip about a coworker. At least now I have the inside scoop about who said what when and why they're upset about it. An overwhelmingly "meh" experience. Won't be back, do not recommend read more

The food here is just Ok. I got the chicken pot pie on the advice of the waitress. It was HUGE! The pie was so hot it burned my mouth even after 5 minutes of stirring. The chicken was dry, even drowned in the gravy of the pie. The waitress never seemed to see my empty water glass. read more
