Went to have a birthday dinner for my girlfriend and the service wasn’t that great. Our waitress was nice but only came around like 3 times. I asked for BBQ sauce for my fries and got A1. I wasn’t eating steak. I ordered golden BBQ boneless wings and they tasted old. My salad was literally thrown together and mind you it was not that busy. When I walked in I told them it was her birthday thinking they would sing happy birthday or offer a dessert. I asked someone who previously worked there and that is a thing they do. They never came to our table. Which I felt discriminated because I have a girlfriend. I don’t think I will ever be taking my service here again. Gonna ask around for more information about the birthday!
It is what it is. Obviously can't go in there expecting a five star experience, that's just not this type of place. Nor does it cross into four star, or even three star level dining. However, judge solely within the parameters of 2 star qualifications, then this is a big fish in a pond filled with other big fish... nothing special but your not disappointed. if you're wallet is looking a little thin but you and your friends are still craving a sampling of made-to-order bar food to help sop up the alcohol from prior night's shenanigans that undoubtedly continues sloshing back n forth' against your quivering stomach wall, then this metaphorical hand at least fits in the glove you got. there is something for everyone here, burgers, pasta, steak, chicken, sandwiches, fish, all with ONE side of your choice (not two sides, a little disappointing, I'd rather have two smaller sides than one big portioned side). Appetizers include the expected basics, fries, mozzarella sticks, wings, etc., Only big enough for two people at most (some not even), so get a few. Typically this restaurant will offer some type of deal, buy two get one, or a flat special rate for two apps, two entrees and desert. Offers change so don't quote me on those, they might even vary store to store. more obscure plates, l such as deep fried cauliflower with sauce, or like buffalo spring rolls, fried string beans, (check menu on their official website it does change often) while this place is an excellent place to nurse a hangover or to mow cheap appetizers after consuming more than a few adult beverages, this is really not the best place to spend a night drinking. Bar might have cheap drafts and pitchers, if that's your thing, the mixed drinks are definitely mixed by someone who really just doesnt car. Hell, it's a 2 star restaurant, people don't come here fully dripped with pockets full of cash, so let's face it the help probably don't do so well in the tipping deparment. This usually means service doesn't exactly aim to please and the customer def isn't NOT always right. These employees are making less min wage than a Walmart greeter. Poverty doesnt only breed crime, in the restaurant setting it creates a resentful and spiteful group of people who will mistakenly focus their anger 9ut on the unknowing customer. Those who have not yet been beat down by the
Food plentiful and excellent tasting. Megan was an wonderful, attentive server. It was a pleasure.
Our server, Laurie, was super friendly and very attentive. She made sure we were happy with our food and checked on us often. Food came out hot, quick and delicious. Great experience.
The 99 in Framingham is a great location among their franchise. The happy hour deals and Thursday $0.59 wings always keep us engaged to come back. The staff is all friendly. The facility and parking is all in good shape. The food was hot and prepared well. We enjoyed a couple of their drinks specials too. $5 margaritas and <$3 Bud Select beers. Waltham might have them beat on the frosty mugs but I’ve heard their mugs are frostier at lunch and early dinner. Have to get a couple rounds for yourself and friends. Enjoy!
Rating the 99 in Framingham on rt 9.Having to wait 30 minutes for a table seemed unnecessary considering there was many many open tables, we decided to head for the bar seating and what a great decision by us. The bartender, whose name I didn't get, but over heard she recently had a baby, was spectacular. Not just with us, but everyone at the very busy bar, no one sat waiting long for anything they ordered drink wise. Food came out relatively warm and as per usual, tasty. Buffalo wrap was plentiful and large, sweet potato crusted haddock was the only dish not warm, but still tasted good. Potato skins were not so good, you could taste the fryers oil they had been cooked in, but everything else was delicious. The burger, Cobb salad and 2 brownie sundays for dessert were mmmm mmmm goooood.
Average 99, good food with good portions. The service was a little slow but attentive. It did take a few minutes to get silverware after our food was served. Overall a 4. An oh by the way... the pen the waitress gave me to complete the check didn't work so I filled it out in crayons.
This place is a Horror Story. Unclean Rest Rooms, Unclean Dining Room Floors and a Host that blundered people's names about 5 times in the half hour we waited to get seated, including our's. How do you do that? It isn't Rocket Science. You write down a name and how many in the party and you check off the party when you seat them. Before Covid, we ate here and the restaurant was Cold, the food came out 30 minutes late and it was mediocre at best. They were short staffed obviously because of many empty tables. We wanted to give them a second chance, but saw a potential disaster waiting to happen, so we walked out. Also there were unmasked children in the waiting area and No one was doing anything about it. Totally acceptable. We wound up at Trader Joe's next door buying Coconut Shrimp and Rice and we cooked it at home. We miss the 99 in Waltham where we frequented when lived in Watertown. Now we're stuck with this dud of a 99 Restaurant in our new neighborhood.
Ordered online. Got there early, phoned, it was immediately brought out. Perfectly correct, hot, and delicious
Food was served quick and easy, they have some new items on their menu. You should most definitely grab some 5$ apps at the bar and grab a cold one.
