Reviews for 99 Restaurants in Salem, NH
My cousin and I were regulars at the 99 in Haverhill for years and the staff over that 15 year time, became more like family... then just "99 workers". A few years ago, I moved to Manchester, so we decided to start meeting at the Salem 99. Great experienceso far. Meredith, Sarah and Rochelle (who's no longer working there) became our new 99 regular bartenders. Well, we went thereWednesday before Thanksgiving and got to meet Karen, yes, that's her name. We had two bowls of popcorn and each got a bonelesswing app and each 4 small beers, in a 3 hour period. We were quiet, kept to ourselves, just catching up like we ALWAYS do. Uponasking for another beer, so rudely, and not so quietly in front of all other customers, Karen told me "you've had enough todrink!" This was really shocking, but I politely asked for our check, we paid and left. We're both part time bartenders and knowlimits and proper bar etiquette. We were both so embarrassed. Never in all the years or 99 establishments, has anything likethis ever happened. I watched Karen berate a customer that same night for having a license expire the following day. She said tohim "I'll serve you tonight, but tomorrow I won't!" Why say anything? Serve him and move on. His license was fine that night. Hewas also embarrassed. I watched her serve two regulars next to us, 2 tall drafts and 1 small draft EACH in less time we werethere. I guess it basically comes down to, we weren't regulars, Karen is not a enjoyable person to be served by, when you'rechoosing which establishment to use, especially with Tuscan Village right next door. We're definitely going to be choosing a newplace to meet up, which is too bad because we enjoyed Sarah on football Sundays. Read more
This is a good restaurant with a varied menu and a nice atmosphere. The service was super fast and the waiter was extremely... nice. At the beginning of the service, he introduced himself by name and served us a pop corn for a snack. The food we orderedarrived quickly. Everything was delicious. The dishes were beautifully presented. In general, LIKE. Read more
I had not been there in years. My recent visit was so disappointing. My sister got country fried chicken which was so... overcooked that it was hard like a hockey puck. I got the cranberry apple pecan salad. Most places have the chicken in thesalad warm and delicious. Even Wendy's salad is so much better! The chicken was ice cold and the apple chunks were huge and notcut up small enough. My nephew got the new item on the menu which was barbecue ribs. They looked and tasted like the ribs wereboiled and then put on the grill for a few minutes and then covered with barbecue sauce. Next time I'll be sure to go to TBones just up the road where the food is so much better. Read more

This place is amazing! I don?t know how they do it, but we?ve tried so many dishes, and EVERYTHING is delicious! The servers are... so courteous, patient and accommodating. Kids eat free with adult meals. It?s a great place for our family. Read more
Good quality food. Feels like a local restaurant. They have their own craft beer brewed by harpoon brewery called Horseshoe Ale... and it is delicious! For an appetizer I suggest getting the gold fever wings! The service is always good. On a Friday orSaturday night the wait can get pretty long but you can do call ahead seating which I suggest.

I had the cranberry chicken salad. It was very good, and the portion size actually could be shared by 2 or 3 people. Our server... was very attentive and made it a great experience. As for the atmosphere, all of the 99's need an update, in my opinion. Timeto get rid of the drabby appearance. Read more
