The Keg Steakhouse + Bar opened the doors of its first restaurant in 1971 in Vancouver. Since then, The Keg has expanded across Canada and the US to include over 100 locations. Although its name and décor have changed over time, the dining experience has always stayed consistent. The Keg’s focus has been, and continues to be, on providing exceptional service and quality food in a comfortable atmosphere for its guests.
Quality, comfort and value are three key ingredients that make The Keg experience unlike any other. When it comes to steak, The Keg serves only the finest cuts, aged for tenderness and seasoned with a unique blend. Classic cocktails, delicious appetizers, succulent seafood, and an outstanding wine list round out its classic menu. The Keg’s friendly and knowledgeable staff creates an atmosphere that encourages guests to enjoy, relax and be themselves. Whether you’re getting together with friends or celebrating with family, you’ll always be welcomed with a smile.
Overall, reviews paint The Keg as a place with consistently excellent steaks and reliable cocktails, especially for ribeye, filet mignon, and New York strip, with sides and baked potatoes praised and the menu offering solid value for many diners. The ambiance shifts from intimate, low lighting dining to a lively bar area, and the atmosphere is often described as warm and comfortable, suitable for special occasions. Service is generally friendly and professional, with many experiences featuring attentive staff and smooth pacing, though crowded rooms can feel noisy and rushed, and timing can suffer on busy nights. A number of visits report good experiences spoiled by long waits for meals, occasional miscommunications at the bar or with reservations, and some inconsistency in cooking, with some dishes overcooked, underseasoned, or drier than expected. Overall, The Keg is viewed as a dependable go to for steak lovers, offering strong dishes and a pleasant atmosphere, while price and occasional service or kitchen hiccups remind guests that experiences can vary by location and night.
The Manager Pierre-Alexandre Themens is the best Manager that I have encountered in years. We had 6:00 reservation & unfortunately the had run out of prime rib. Pierre-Alexandre came over to our table & explained what had happened, he was very kind & comped us some wine. Even when we were leaving he was at the door & apologized again. We felt he went above & beyond to make our evening more enjoyable. Food was excellent even without the prime rib. Thank you
While the quality of many restos deteriorate, as prices escalate, The Keg has risen to the occasion, enhancing their dishes with the most delicious baked beets, tasty mushrooms, & homemade bread. The 10 oz. prime rib with the horseradish condiment was excellent. To summarize, I can't remember the last time I had such a good meal; well done & bravo to Keg ! Service was friendly (Get Eddie) & professional, & prices were more than competitive compared to other restos in the same category.
For a'steak house' , the rib steak was salty, charred & dry. Dining in the bar area was exceptionally loud , the service was good though.It was the same as the first time I had dinner there several years ago. I do have to say that the ice cream cake was really good.
So we went there last night on Friday night December 12th. We went for a late supper. We got there around 9:30 I believe so when we got there we didn't have any reservation. But the young lady at the door was very helpful in finding us a table within a few minutes. She invited us to go have a drink at the bar, which we did. Meanwhile waiting for our table. I was happy they had Bumbu rum & my son had one of they're featured drinks on the menu. It was a Gin basil lemonade I think either way they were both very well made. Very good drinks. Our table was ready before we got served our drinks. That's how fast it was. We had a nice booth & a corner with a view of that fireplace, the restaurant, the bar, television...It was really really comfortable.
So my son ordered the prime rib 14 oz with the grilled vegetables. I had the 10 oz filet mignon & we asked for....he wanted it rare.... I wanted mine medium rare & the cooking was spot on PERFECT?? It was perfect. The food was very good. The plate presentation & quantity(see pics)....Everything was excellent
Especially the service....o m f g...the reason I gave a five score is we were served by Alycia P & thanks to her I'm giving five stars. The service was impeccable. It was as if we were royalties. She was really really good. Very professional, polite & beautiful .There was nothing I could say. There's just perfect service. Perfect perfect service! So if you're going & you're lucky you'll be in Alycia's section 🙂
Either way though I know Alicia gave 100% service which was the reason I made it at five ⭐ but.... the food was also excellent. The seasoning on the filet mignon & the size, the quantities. Like I said, I also had a Monte Carlo potato which is very much suggested btw ..So look at our pictures. We'll show you a couple of pictures of our food & stuff & our drinks & of course I recommend you go there. Obviously this place is really really good......It's you know... one of those rare restaurants where you can still get a great meal with great service & a great setting & also they have everything there. They have the whole combination so you definitely want to go. This is a if you haven't been or if you're not sure where to go, don't question yourself go here KEG RESTAURANT FAIRVIEW POINTE-CLAIRE you won't regret it & once you had a great meal write a nice little review to show your gratitude... It helps them out & it's an honest review...so go check it out...NOW! hehe
Stop procrastinating invite a friend, your sister, your mother, anybody ...your neighbor go alone even or if you have a couple of friends go eat there.... Go try it! There's one at Fairview Mall we went to in Pointe-Claire & we were lucky enough to be in Alycia's section so not only did we get amazing food but we got their best employee for table service & also the table was even amazing like where we were sitting. So go to the Fairview Mall. It's on the Southeast corner of the building FAIRVIEW POINTE CLAIRE. Can't miss it, Won't regret it!
Thank you Alycia!
Waitress was really kind & helpful. The food was sub par… double baked potato was dry & a little on the stale side. But the prime rib was delicious! A little overpriced. The restaurant also had a … smell… I won't be returning here. Benches or carpets definitely need a cleaning..

High-end steakhouse that offers more affordable steak prices compared to 40 Westt while tasting the same. Service was really good & staff was friendly. Recommend the New York Striploin if you want a classic steak or the Prime Rib if you want to try a more rich & juicy, oven-roasted steak.
Went back today, celebrated our anniversary & couldn't ask for a better time. This time I gave 5 stars across the board, music volume was just right & we were able to have a conversation at the table. Calamari were outstanding, cooked to perfection. Prime rib was amazingly tender, lobster tail super tender only thing the rib tips, little dry. & finally we go to Marty, he was outstanding & on top of everything, thank you Marty, you made our 42nd wedding anniversary a wonderful celebration
J'ai été souper Hier Vendredi 26 Septembre

PS Je peux vous dire que la serveuse & les gens qui t'accueille ça fait aussi toute la différence moi je mange presque 7 jours par semaine au Resto & ce resto avec Maria hier à faite WOW 👏❤?
Honestly super disappointing experience. Never ever order the prime rib. Whatever they served me should have never left the kitchen. That was just raw. They tried to fix it by just tossing it on the grill to cook a bit more. But that was one of the worst pieces of meat I've ever had.
There are so many better restaurants in the city for the money.
Rest of the meal was good, but man what a let down.

I had called at 15:14hrs to inquire if it would be possible to order a blue or rare piece of prime rib. I was assured, enthusiastically, that it would NOT be a problem. Unfortunately, the prime roast was only available starting at a medium; I was not a happy camper. I would have eaten somewhere else that had roast beef. However, the Keg is the Keg & my rib steak (Pittsburg style) was textbook...brought a tear to my eye! The salade, the side veggies, & twice baked potatoe were as perfect as could be. Added bonus was our Server, Sarah. Amazing customer service & articulate. Note: if you want a more intimate setting, perhaps the dining room would be more suitable. The bar area is a true round table pub/happy hour setting.

Disappointing evening at the Keg Pte Claire for my mother's birthday. Spent a few hundred bucks & left with mixed feelings. While the service & my steak was good, the rest was a bit disappointing. Ordered a caesar salad to start, it had barely any vinaigrette, nothing else but parmesan on it & most of the salad wasn't fresh. It's probably one of the worst caesar salad I've had, it's usually a pretty safe dish. My son had a plate of veggies with his kid meal. Th carrots were huge, he couldn't bite into it, I had to cut them again & the celeri was full of dirt from where it grew. Not impressed. I had the rib steak for the main which was really good but the side of veggies tasted nothing. All this to say that it wasn't a terrible experience but when paying a few hundred bucks for a meal you expect a certain quality in the food & it was simply not there. It was my first time at the Pte Claire location & not sure I will go back, had much better experience in Laval & Downtown Montreal. Not the type to complain at the restaurant or to leave reviews for a matter of fact but the fact that I woke up the next morning wondering if I should have brought the family elsewhere made me do it.
We had a great dinner there on a Friday night. We made reservations as it is always busy on the weekends. We chose from the "Keg Classics", on the menu (which comes with your choice of salad & accompaniment). You have a few choices for meat. We took the prime rib (10 oz), which was cooked to perfection (medium rare). With that I had the iceberg wedge with blue cheese dressing (that was much larger than I thought it would be, from photos I'd seen in the Google reviews), that also had small pieces of tomatoes & bacon bits, & a small container of additional blue cheese dressing on the side), & also the garlic mashed potatoes. The prime rib also came with some mushrooms (that had been cooked in something very flavorable), & some "onion crisps(?)". The meal was preceded by a very large square of some type of bread, that was denser than regular bread, & very good (that came with some flavored butter) that was meant to be cut up & shared. We also ordered, as appetizers, the chicken wings, which were good, & also the mushrooms Neptune (mushroom caps filled, & topped, with a light, whipped, flavorful cream cheese/crab mixture), which was excellent, that came with a smaller personal-size version of the bread you get for the table & some butter. Everything was great. The service couldn't have been better. Our water was always topped-up, & our waitress always checked to see if we needed anything, which was amazing considering how full the place was.The only mistake we made was ordering appetizers as well as the meal. We couldn't finish all of our meal. But they will give you "take-home" boxes, that you fill yourself, if you ask. No complaints whatsoever. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.
Came in at 7:00 p.m. & they tried to get me the last slice of prime rib a 20 minutes later apologized & said that it was taken by another order, they gave me an upgraded rib steak & it was very good.
