Scales St. It&#8217;s right across the street from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luckycity7.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lucky City<\/a>. They&#8217;re open Monday &#8211; Friday from 10 AM to 3 PM. <\/p>\n<p>When you walk into Cafe 99, you&#8217;ll immediately notice the color scheme of silver and the decorations that feature old time rock-and-roll. Combine the silver colors with the oldies music that they play in the restaurant, and you&#8217;ll be immediately hooked on the theme. Cafe 99 features a good selection of sandwiches along with Hershey&#8217;s ice cream for dessert. That being said, let&#8217;s get to the ratings.<\/p>\n<p>Service: I was greeted when I got to the counter as I expected to be. I was very pleasantly surprised when I picked up my food and the kitchen staff thanked me and made some small talk.  Grade: 92 (A)<\/p>\n<p>Food: Yum! Homemade chicken salad on a croissant with a giant slice of tomato. The presentation of the food was good and the taste of their chicken salad was awesome. I haven&#8217;t tried any of their other sandwiches yet, but I will on the next visit and add it to this review. Grade: 94 (A)<\/p>\n<p>Atmosphere: The decor works perfectly for a place like this. It&#8217;s unlike any other restaurant in the area and is eye-catching. It definitely adds to the dining experience (but don&#8217;t be surprised when you walk into their bathrooms. :)). The kitchen area is visible and the restaurant is very clean. Grade: 95 (A)<\/p>\n<p>Intangibles: The only thing bad I can say about Cafe 99 would be about their limited hours of operations. They used to be open until 9 PM daily but cut their hours back to 3 PM (assuming that was due to low traffic in the downtown area at night). Other than that, I&#8217;ve got nothing but praise for Cafe 99. One final thing, they also feature the lovely singing talents of Veronica Jones during lunchtime occasionally (I&#8217;ll have to find out the schedule). The first time we visited there, Veronica&#8217;s lovely voice just mesmerized us, and I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll do the same to you. Grade: 87 (B)<\/p>\n<p>Overall: Make the trip over to Reidsville and have lunch at Cafe 99. You&#8217;ll be glad you did.
