The Keg is one of those chains that does things right. They have a core menu centred on beef and have modified it over the years to stay current and attractive. Personally, I usually prefer more independent restaurants, but The Keg is a reliable and excellent place to get a good meal. I have been to this location several times. Pet peeve — they do not take reservations after 5 pm, so it is first come first served and that can be dicey on certain days. The staff here have always been very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The wine list offers quite a good selection of well priced wines. Prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of the meal. For years The Keg has been one of my go-to places when I can’ t find, or are too tired to look for, something more interesting. It is reliable, the value is there for the money, and there is something for everybody on the menu.

I came here with my coworkers for a work dinner and service was great! Our waitress was very sweet and patient with us. Everything except the main course was great. Salad and appetizers were so delicious, there is nothing bad to say about it. I gave them only four stars because it took almost two hours for our main course to come out. Two hours!!! At that point, we were all getting hangry, and you don’t wanna have three hangry girls around in one place. When our food finally came, my plate of steak and lobster was at best Luke warm. Who like luke warm steak? Not me. My friends steak was COVERED in pepper corn, she couldn’t even eat it. The lobster was good though, but it was hot so it felt like they left it out for too long and served it. Dessert was fantastic, I definitely recommend their ice cream cake. They also have steaks larger than their largest size as stated on their menu, you just have to request it. It does not cone with another veggies on the side tho, which looked bland but I assume is still delicious.

With the Keg, you can never go wrong. Sirloin Oscar is my regular go to and bf chose the ribeye. I now know the ribeye is my go to, no thinker selection. Great meal. The service was flat. Not memorable. The waitress did her job but it took a while before she came back to our table to get our order for the drinks and meal.

The keg has always been a go-to whenever I’m craving steak. This time I got the peppercorn steak(12 ounces) with baked potato on the side. To be honest I regret not getting the garlic mash potato. The baked potato didn’t do much for me. We also had the calamari and bacon wrapped scallops for appetizers. Both were really great choices! I appreciated the scallops being large and flavourful. After all the food, if you are still craving dessert, the keg has $ 3 brownie with a scoop of ice cream. The service at this location was also pretty good. We were seated promptly, and food came out in a timely manner.

Probably one of the best chain steak houses. If you’re willing to dish out the cash, then you won’t be disappointed. Our waitress, Daniella was amazing and catered to our every need. I had the chipotle top sirloin an was not disappointed, although it could have been warmer(warm, not hot). Overall very good atmosphere, staff and most importantly food. Would recommend!

Ordered appetizers all good with exemption of the tuna tartar. Great service and atmosphere! They renovated and got more seating and looks bigger and better would come back again!

This Keg is incredible, from the food to the servers. Everything is fabulous! They treat you like a queen and king. Won’t go to the Keg on Leslie ever again, it sucks!

Older location with dated décor, but the food and wait staff was amazing! You would think that all locations have the same quality, but that is not the case. Rather than go to the closer location at Yonge and Eglinton(which we find to have to lowest food quality), we ventured far far away on one of the most treacherous driving evenings of December 2015, this location was not a disappointment!

Made dinner reservations for 9 at 6:30pm and the table was ready prior to arrival. The atmosphere was relaxing and intimate. Seated by the fireplace, which was covered with holiday decorations. The staff were all amazing and very helpful. The table’s server did a great job handling a big group, she was able to recommend items on the menu and she accommodated special requests. The food on the other hand was a little disappointing. Most of the appetizers were good except the tuna tartare, which was under seasoned. The filet mignon was tender but over salted and was passed medium rare. For a steakhouse, was expecting it to be much better. Presentation of the food was nice, the plating was appetizing and well balanced. Overall, might comeback for dinner to see if there’s an improvement in the food.

My partner and I have eaten here on many occasions. Have to admit the service each time was courteous and efficient. The food and drink menu is always great and well done which is the reason we frequent this location. If you come to this location after 5:30pm it becomes quite busy and you will be waiting for a bit to be seated if you want the dining rm. There ahi tuna tare tare is really good with fresh avacodo and fresh made pita chips. Always a sucker for their steak and lobster tail combo along with their garlic mashed potato. Their drink menu has a lot of the cocktails I enjoy and some modern twists of the old classics. Overall a fav of mine when I want a perfect night out Cheers Keg. keep up the great work!!!

nice environment. I tried sirloin oscar recommended by the waiter and it was good. The watermelon mojito was special. One thing not so great was the crème brûlée, not saying it wasn’t tasty, but it was a little over baked

My new favourite Keg restaurant. Came here last night for our anniversary and despite it being super busy with a graduation on a Wednesday night the service was exceptional. Our waitress(Teya) was on point, super friendly and went out of her way to accommodate us. The manager came over to wish us a happy anniversary with some complimentary glasses of champagne. Didn’t get his name, but super nice guy. Staff here make the difference, will be back for sure.

Excellent exemplary service. You can’t please everyone cause people complain about the smallest things. But my experience has been good each time. Yesterday my wife stake was a little well done instead of medium rare. No problem it was quickly removed. 5 mins later it was replaced with a new dish and they refilled the fried onions and also heated up my plate. The manager brought it out, not the waitress. They gave a discount off the bill and that was unexpected. Can’t ask for more.

Disappointed. The Keg has been a staple for several events over the years and has generally resulted in a good experience. This time, at this location, complete failure. The reason they got 2 stars was because the waitress saved them from a zero. Despite being super busy she was delightful and professional. The issue began with poor management of our party of ten. Called ahead of time to ask for reservations but was told they don’t accept them but we’ll be ‘expecting you’ and thus be expedited reasonable quick. Without gettimg into the aggravating details it was 1hr 15min wait. Each time we asked after 30 min we were told the table is being set up — clearly a stall tactic. I was fully prepared to leave but didn’t want to ruin our guest’s birthday who was looking forward to her meal. Generally speaking the meals were good but not excellent. Several steaks were cooked incorrectly which resulted in lots of plate swapping. Luckily we all ordered similar dishes. Lesson for management, set accurate expectations. As a patron i will make an informed decision that i may not like to make but at least i know what to expect. Future lesson for me when im dropping in excess of $ 500 for dinner? reservations.

This is a good default if you want a good meal and cost isn’t an issue. You should expect to pay at least $ 70 for 2 people. We waited 30 minutes on a Friday night, because they don’t take reservations after 6:30 pm. The ambience was nice, but the lighting was a bit dim. Service was great and the waitress was very helpful. I ordered the Top Sirloin classic. It came with Top Sirloin steak, caesar salad, baked potato, greens & mushrooms. The steak was done very well and the sides were good, but it wasn’t anything special. I mooched some garlic mashed potatoes off my friend and they were heavenly! Overall, I wouldn’t venture here often mostly due to getting average food for such a steep price. However, this would be suitable place for any celebratory event(birthday, anniversary, losing a first tooth, etc).

I find that many people go to The Keg when its a special occasion like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. And the reason for this is probably the price. Don’t get me wrong. I might be Asian but I ain’t cheap, especially when it comes to food. Most items on the menu are over $ 25 for one main dish. When you factor in the appetizer, dessert, tax and tips its more like $ 50 bucks per person and if you are in a relationship then the guy usually does the paying so its more like $ 100 bucks for a 2 person meal and that is pretty pricy for one meal. Having said all that I really did enjoy my night at The Keg. Ambiance is really nice and service is top notch. The meal comes with complimentary bread and butter but I still had to try the cheese bread which was amazing. For $ 6 this was probably the best deal of the night. Bread was crispy, cheese was nice and gooey and the garlic flavor put it over the top. For the main I got the 10 oz fillet minion with bake potato. Really yummy and no complaints here. Soft, juicy and tender but a bit on the salty side. The baked potato was seasoned with all kinds of stuff which brought out my taste buds. Not too bad for $ 35. Also got the 7 oz sirloin with scallops and shrimps plus mash potatoes. The meat was a bit tough and also a bit too salty. $ 30 Overall very good food experience but its hard talking myself into spending $ 50 for one meal. I guess this place will be one of those special occasion type of meals. 3.5 stars

I had been coming to this The Keg’s location for years. Always have good services and always have a good meal, steak cooked to my liking! The interior definitely look and feel dated, in need of an upgrade! Complimentary dessert for special occasions is a nice touch. I usually dine in after 9 pm so never really have to wait for a table.
