The food was great (as usual), our waitress was very nice. I withheld one star because the wait for our main entree was unusually long. But once we received it, things were superb.

Food and service were spectacular. Worcester and Franklin are keeping the 99 brand afloat compared to Milford…

It was my first dining experience since Quarantine. We noticed driving by that they had outdoor seating set up. Plenty of hand sanitizer, spacial seating, disposable menu. I went for the lobster roll and a diet pepsi. It was probably the best fountain pepsi I've ever had. Those lines were flushed clean, the ratio of syrup to carbonation was perfect. The lobster roll was also perfection. It was packed with lobster meat, just the right amount of mayo in a buttered toasted bun. I was not disappointed!

The food was ok nothing fancy. Waiter was too concentrated in our table even though he was polite and all since we probably were the only ones in the diner he was a little antsy looking back and forth on us. I do appreciate his niceness we noticed him always checking on us. I did over hear him tell the cooks they forgot something in my bfs food so I do appreciate him being thorough

Come here for lobster!! I was just at another seafood restaurant last weekend where lobster rolls were almost $30 and I got the super colossal lobster roll here for only 20 bucks! It came with an appetizer and dessert for that price! Our service was great and the food was excellent. We will certainly be back!

A very close group of friends dropped in after a wake to tell stories of another old neighborhood friend. It was a perfect way to end the night with lots of laughs and friends. We picked the 99 since we knew what to expect as far as food. The service was great and friendly; when our party grew, they moved us to a larger table, and we continued. The great service continued with a new server. It was a great get-together with many friends that hadn't been together in a few years. Just what we needed!
