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, The Keg is a solid choice for steak lovers, with many visits featuring flavorful, well cooked steaks, reliable sides, and attentive service in a warm, lively setting that suits celebrations as well as casual dinners; guests frequently praise the consistent quality, strong bar scene, and friendly staff, with several standout moments where staff went above and beyond. Some visits are affected by crowded rooms, noise, or slower service, and a few meals miss the mark on doneness or seasoning, leading to mixed experiences. Price can be a consideration, but many feel the value is fair for the steakhouse experience, and reservations are recommended at peak times.
Went for dinner June 20th 2021 ordered the ribs they came burnt after 30 mins. Sent them back & the manager came to the table & said their ribs were always like that because they are put on the grill. Okay but who ever was watching the grill didn,t take them off. Manager came & said what do I want to do I said can you cook them without burning them. She rudely went away. My Husband was finsihed his steak & i received the ribs. The bill came & not even a discount for the problem. the girl manager came again & sais WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO RUDELY.. She grabbed the bill & took off my glass of wine. Sorry have been to the keg in laval & Toronto never have seen such under management.
How disappointing. Was looking forward to a nice evening out & a great meal. Got neither. I previously had a very bad experience with the keg in the old port, so I was very hesitant coming here. Waitress was gaunt, very unhappy & smelled of weed.
My date insisted that I didnt complain because they weren't a fan of unpleasant scenes, especially in public. It seemed like such a chore for her to come see us. Her attitude just sucked the life out of our dining experience.
I think her name was Linda or Lisa. I do not recommend her as a waitress at all!
3 of us went for dinner here last night, it was my first time & I absolutely loved it. We shared tuna tacos (wow) & prime rib sliders, for my main dish I had the teriyaki sirloin...one word: delicious!!! I also tried a piece of the blue cheese filet & that was delicious as well. Service could've been a bit faster but the waitress was very nice. Definitely going back!
My wife & I enjoyed every minute of our evening. The ambiance, food & service were impeccable. Don’t mind paying the SAQ x 3 wine prices when your wine is properly served & poured in a timely fashion. I must admit one of my pet peeves are restaurants that hit you with high ‘cork charge’... open the bottle, pour the first glass, then never return until you ask for the cheque.
Our waiter was attentive, friendly & polite. Really enjoyed our evening. Can’t wait to return.

Faaaaaantastic steaks! Definitely recommend, been there a number of times. Can get a little loud in the bar area but the resto proper has a really great ambience for small gatherings or romantic dinners. We really enjoyed ourselves & the servie was great. We even got a complimentary glass of champagne because it was our anniversary!
Food was exceptional. A little over on the pricey side but hey, you get what you pay for. Service was very professional & the food from appetizer to dessert were magnificent! I went here with my partner once when the place had just opened & it was this very pleasant experience. I hope the second time we give it a try would still give us the same impression of the place. Otherwise, i will recommend this place to a friend!
The food served is unimaginative, standard "Pub" fair with upscale decor & unfortunately an upscale price. The service was pleasant. The bill for my wife & myself (BEFORE) tip was $94.28 which included two mains & an one espresso, no alcohol or dessert. My prime rib roast beef was the "classic" with the larger 16oz size portion ($37.00). The plate arrived with beef looking like it was hacked off the cow with a blunt knife - an uneven slice. In addition, there was 30% fat & the Keg's version of au jus which tastes like canned beef broth with red wine - real "classy". I've been to the Keg restaurants in Ontario & have enjoyed the food much more, perhaps the quality control has to be tightened.
Hot water, cold food & horrible service. Don't waste your time or hard earned money. There are far better & much less expensive steak houses in the West Island that offer friendly service.
My husband & I both ordered the prime rib. I asked for an end cut with vegetables. The meat was 50-60% fat. When I mentioned this to the waitress, with no apology I was told that was what I could expect from an end cut. The vegetables constituted peppers, 2 very small pieces of asparagus & a couple of pieces of zucchini soaked in oil & served cold & undercooked.
My husband ordered onion soup as an appetizer but the main meal was served within two minutes of the appetizer so he had to make a choice which part of his meal he wanted to eat while it was somewhat hot.
The waitress was curt throughout the meal & presented the bill & stood at the table with her debit/credit machine waiting for immediate payment as if it was an great inconvenience for her to make a trip back to the table.
All the staff were chatting with each other throughout the whole experience & paid little attention to the customers. We left without any comment...no goodbye..have a nice evening...or thank you for coming.
This was definitely the worst $100 spent on a meal in a long time.
Enjoyed dinner here on a very busy Christmas Eve only three weeks after the opening.
I was impressed with the excellent service with no signs of new restaurant problems.
The food was excellent & well presented.
The ambiance has an upscale feel to it & the tables are well spaced so the noise level is low enough to allow comfortable conversations at the good sized tables. There is however a nice background buzz of people enjoying themselves.
The price was very good for the quality of the food & service: $90 for two with no alcohol.
I will be back.
