In Short
The Massachusetts-based Ninety Nine chain has successfully expanded into the rest of New England and beyond by offering huge portions of fresh food at wallet-friendly prices. Popular items include 10-ounce steakburgers, USDA-choice steaks and chops, fresh seafood platters and sizzling fajitas. Calorie-conscious diners enjoy a bevy of salads and several low-carb entrees. Friendly servers maintain a casual vibe, and the welcoming bar area is an ideal spot for solo diners looking to watch a game.
