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.
We go to the Keg quite often but this visit was disappointing to say the least. We went to celebrate my birthday . Unfortunately steaks were medium well, instead of medium rare! In short looking for a new steakhouse. Suggestions are welcomed
Had an amazing evening at The Keg Pointe-Claire-easily the most impressive Keg location I've visited. We kicked things off with the calamari, which was perfectly done, & moved on to the steaks… absolutely spot on. Every bite delivered.
A special shoutout to our waitress Maddie & the manager Marina, who both went above & beyond to make sure everything was flawless. Service like that makes all the difference.
This is the zillion times I eat at the Keg & provided many reviews before, this time is to simply say what an amazing service we got from Maria, our waitress. 5/5 for service. PS: the 3 is because my wife steak was cooked rare while we asked for medium rare!
The service was great & the food tasted good, but unfortunately several of us suffered from food poisoning shortly after eating. We all had steak, which leads us to believe the meat may not have been fresh or properly handled. This was very disappointing & overshadowed what otherwise seemed like a good dining experience.

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.
Local West Island steak house, not cheap but very trendy, great staff & cocktails. You are looking at 100$ each with a few drinks & dessert of course. They o have drink specials at 5 to 7pm at the bar though.
I recently visited The Keg Steakhouse & left with mixed feelings. To begin with, the restaurant was extremely crowded. While a busy dining room can sometimes create a lively atmosphere, in this case it felt a bit overwhelming & made the experience less relaxing. It also added a sense of being rushed, both for the guests & possibly for the staff.
On a positive note, the service was very fast. Our server was attentive, & the dishes arrived quicker than expected, which is always appreciated, especially on a busy evening. The drinks were also a highlight of the night-well-prepared, balanced, & genuinely enjoyable. It was clear that the bar staff know what they're doing, & the cocktails were one of the best parts of the visit.
However, the food itself didn't quite meet expectations. The meals were not as tasty or flavorful as they should be for a steakhouse of this reputation & price range. The seasoning & overall quality felt underwhelming. Considering the cost, we were expecting a richer taste & a more memorable dining experience.
Overall, although the service was efficient & the drinks were excellent, the crowded environment & the disappointing food made the visit less satisfying than hoped. The quality-to-price ratio simply didn't feel justified. I hope the restaurant can improve the consistency & flavor of their dishes, because at the moment, it doesn't fully meet the standards its prices suggest.

Love the ambiance, always a reliable place to go for a special occasion. Steaks are hit & miss.. smaller steaks like sirloin can be overcooked., I asked for medium but it was well done, & salmon was dry & a little overcooked. The vegetables & salad were very good.
Service could be hit & miss also. We've had excellent service there before, but last time we went, the waitress was not very warm, missed one of the sides & only responded when I waved my had to signal that we need extra sauce, horse radish etc., otherwise was not very present nor talkative.
It was the 1st time for KEG. I usually visited'Ri* & Ree*' for steak , in this time I got a chance to visit with gift card.
The KEG's service was good, especially thank you, Nick!
The mood was casual & comfort.
But their foods were too too salty. I felt some pain on my tongue by too much salty & we needed to drink a lot of water throughout & after meal.
Salads, steaks, even mushroom, baked potato were salty for us. There was a nice place but I won't visit again.
The baked salmon is a little overpriced, not seasoned enough but good presentation. The wedge salad & steak was very good. Friendly service & very nice atmosphere.
I've been to a few Keg locations & this one is the best by far. Great atmosphere & decor, the service is impeccable & the steak is to die for. I've tried several different cuts & I'm definitely a NY strip kinda gal.Everything is always very fresh & delicious. Drinks are also very good. Highly recommended!

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.
J'ai été souper Hier Vendredi 26 Septembre
Pour la fêtes à mon frère & sa Femme , nous avons été servie par Maria une femme Anglaise & qui parlait aussi Français quelle Dame juste Bravo des rires à plus finir très professionnelles .

Wow! This was by far our best visit to The Keg! SANJAY our server was fantastic, professional & friendly , very impressive! That Brie entree was probably the best entree I've ever had, everthing else was top notch, steaks, salads, potatoes, veggies, escargot. We noticed amazing prices on food & drinks for happy hour between 4 & 6 or 9 & midnight. We will be back very soon for that!
My first time at this location. My brother & I had an early dinner. From the meet & greet, to the ensuing service - these ladies are gems💎. Had the crab cakes as appetizers - delicious. Also had the baseball steak with mashed potatoes - perfectly done, nicely juicy without being soggy. Thank you ladies for a perfect experience, September 9, 2025 - The man who needs a haircut 😉
