99 Restaurants

W. Jeff Crawford

We'd been seeing these 99 Restaurants on our trip through the northeast and decided that this was where we wanted to feast as our last hoorah traveling through Vermont. Established as the "sit-down", casual dining experience, we'd figured we had better try it before we left. The building was quite modern on the outside. The parking situation was a bit unique, but nothing far from a Chili's or similar place. An oversight on my part was that online they mentioned about "family packs", where one could buy three of their burgers and and order of chicken fingers in a bundle, but this is only for pickup (or I presume delivery with stuff like DoorDash). We decided against the appetizers mainly because the prices were a little higher than we were accustomed to. We went right into the main courses. While I'll say the burgers were quite fine — KidMDK gave it a 7, DCFuse a 7, I gave it about a 7.5 mostly because of uniqueness — they were slightly warm and not as good as we thought they could have been. Not horrible by any means, just okay. We had the Vermont Cheddar with the cheddar and bacon, sans fried onions. My daughters had lobster rolls, each of the kinds they had on the menu. They claimed they were good, but not absolutely raving about them. The fun part was the friendly staff and the popcorn they serve while you wait, another reason we skipped the appetizer. The whole experience was good (standard) and we look forward to visiting again sometime when we're out that way. You should at least try it, too!

1)15 minute wait at door due to staffing issues. Young lady at door was very polite and handled herself well. 2) I ate there recently and food was good. Beer very cold in frosty mug. 3) Service was somewhat slow and wait person not the sharpest tool in the draw. I had to wait for my second beverage and had finished my meal. I asked for the second beverage to arrive with my meal. The wait person asked when I finished my meal if I still wanted my second beverage. Food Tax in VT is very high. Beer at 99 is expensive. Meal price itself was reasonable for the food and what the served. 4) I would plan for and look around for a better food stop next time I travel through that area of the country. The 99 is a solid chain but nothing to write home about.

Travellers, this is a solid restaurant with a wide variety of American food. The atmosphere is ambient and the service is pleasant and with a smile. The menu has a nice variety of items including new twists on old classics. There are several different types of Mac and cheese. The buffalo chicken mac and cheese is yummy and cheesy, with tangy and hot buffalo chicken on top. The steak was tasty and perfectly cooked but a bit chewy. The Atlantic salmon was excellent and perfectly cooked. All the sides were tasty. The mashed potatoes were real potatoes and the Cole slaw was delicious. All the sides were perfectly cooked and delicious. We recommend the cauliflower appetizer which was fried. It is worth the stop. Check it out. We recommend. TL;DR - solid American food upscale

A decent place to dine. We ended up here since there weren't other options and our hotel was behind this restaurant. The food was decent, the waitress was super friendly and the drinks were okay. The hostess at the front desk was not in the mood that day (maybe) and the fried seafood was a bit oily. The stuffie was amazing!
