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.
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.

I've been to The Keg in Laval on several occasions & it was excellent. This time in Pointe Claire & it disappointed. Roast Beef came out just about blue even after I asked to ensure it did not (2). My wife's meal was good & she enjoyed it (4). Service was ok but lacking interest in customers.
Wasn't a good experience.
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!
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.

Great fast service with a very uplifting atmosphere. Servers are very polite & helpful with the menu. Went to celebrate a anniversary & was given a free dessert ☺?
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.
