The Ninety Nine (99) has about 50 locations, most of which are in Massachusetts. We have eaten in several of them and find the food to be quite acceptable. Some are a little nicer than others due to the layout. For instance, the one in Woburn has a porch area with windows along one side. Periodically, the menu appears to change at the restaurants. We particularly like the addition of the "Mexican Chicken Fajitas". These are served with several very large, nicely cooked strips of chicken that have been marinated in Mexican spices, onions, green bell peppers, rice and beans. They are also come with flour tortillas, salsa, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and shredded cheese so that you can create your own fajitas. These fajitas are some of the best that we have had.
