The Keg Steakhouse & Bar

We go to a lot of kegs, and this one by far is our favorite! The service is excellent no matter how busy the place is and food is always perfect!!!

For a chain restaurant the steaks are always perfectly made, staff is always friendly and quick. Great appetizers also always get the escargo

I bought Prada, her baby and my Aladdin to dine at this place, and i was not happy. When appetizers arrived, she didn’t offer to ask for fresh peppers and I had to had to request for them. Escargos had a strong smell of curry to it, Prada and i did not enjoy it. French onion soup is not as hot as I assume n it’s did not have enough cheese. I have been to this location 5 years ago and the onion soup then was served with a lot of cheese. I ordered grilled prime rib as my entrées, and I have say that Baton Rouge on Highway 7 n Leslie is the best so far. My food was cold or warm and not as hot as I prefer. Prada’s salmon was too salty and was also warm and not hot. Going back to the appetizers, I had to find another server to check on our appetizer, as it was taking too long, noting that our server took long to check on us. I had to look for another server to order an extra entrée. But my server double check my order so at least I know it’s team work here. I purposely came here late around 11pm bc I was hoping it will not be busy and have better and quick service. Going back once more, When I first came in the host did not greet us, and I had to wait for her to finish cleaning the glass door to greet, i found that rude. If you do end up going here, I recommend new York steak.

Want to eat somwrhing healthy Salmon with asparagus and rice. The salmon is a little too salty and the escargot. Do not order unless you like curry. Has a strong curry taste

The atmosphere of this location is great. Loved it. One of my favs is the filet mignon. Great place for a special dinner! Good for group dinners… or even a date night!

Been to the keg many times in London and always enjoyed my self and service was always good, however in comparison to the keg in vaughn I was absolutely blown away by the service here. It’s like going to a top of the line high end restaurant ! All of the waiters I have experienced there have been extremely knowledgable, helpful and professional no matter what we ask of them.
Food is great, I enjoy having the baked bree there, my bf likes the escargot which are very nice as I’ve had them as well. Cesar salad is great, lobster is good so is the steak. As well the goat cheese salad I very much enjoy with spinach. The food isn’t above and beyond but I would say it’s excellent !
Highly would recommend this keg and this location. Sometimes it can be extremely busy so good to make a reservation !

The Keg is always a unanimous choice in my family. There’s always something for everyone on their menu. Our favorite is their french onion soup. We usually order one each because nobody wants to share. It’s that good. Their steaks are very satisfying as well. We always end our meal with the Billy Miners Pie.

Had a fairly nice dinner at the keg, with a few pros and cons;
It’s started with their confusing gluten free menu, which has no description or prices! and the server again not familiar with it or how to read it!
Here’s what we had, I enjoyed their fillet which was slightly over cooked (again) but tasty, it came with the double baked potatoe, (which was a bit on the sour side, perhaps too much sour cream?)
the kids refused their dinners completely! which ‘looked’ fairly good; kids sliders and chicken fingers one with fried the other with steamed veggies, which were the most
Bland and tasteless vegetables that I personally have ever tried) also, a bit over priced at $ 9.99 and came with a scoop of ice cream… Compared to the average 6.99−7.99 $ in other restaurants… My husband had the chicken and ribs, which was practically a kiddy size compared to other places. The food tasted good, but the value was not there at all but can easily be improved.
We enjoy the interior and the majority of the seating is booths which creates a more comfortable ambience. And the servers are good.
It is not our first visit, we enjoy their food, but there’s plenty of room for improvement; especially since they pride themselves for being the best location…

We had a great server when we went. Had the sirloin Oscar and it was fabulous! I love how there vegetables taste fresh. Great selection of meats don’t hesitate to try it out!

I came here a while ago with some friends to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious, and the service was also great! Our waiter took time to explain everything and he was very informative to my friends. We didn’t have to wait very long for the food, and when it came, I was not disappointed! I love their escargot recipe. They have small mushroom caps over the snail, and pour a sauce over it. Delicious! Their crème brûlée was also pretty good. Not the best I’ve tasted, but it was still delicious! I
My only small complaint is that sometimes the people who brought our food rushed is or acted a little annoyed. Not the best service, but not bad either. 4.5 stars!

I generally avoid chain restaurants, but all the Kegs that I’ve been to downtown are solid as far as drinks, food and service. My friend and I visited this location around 9:30 pm last night and we both agreed that is was probably the worst Keg experience we’ve had.
First of all they need to ditch the canned service. It was annoying to have to answer a bunch of questions while the server took us to our table. Just please seat me and if you have something to say, please say it, but I hate when restaurants want their servers to be robots and remove their personality before service.
Why is there a dummy bottle of wine on each table? Wine is not a decoration and I wish chains wold get over this trendy sales strategy.
We went for the Meomi Belle Gloss Pinot Noir. Aside from the initial pour, no one revisited our table to top up our wine. If you want your servers to do a good job, ditch the script and let them focus on the guest. We poured out the whole bottle ourselves because our servers were so busy giving speeches to other tables and wasting time with a whole bunch of information that no one really wanted to hear.
The other thing that kind of sucked was that they brought all our nibblies to the table at once. I hadn’t eaten all day so we ordered a lot of food: nachos, calamari, mushrooms neptune, escargot and scallops in bacon. We didn’t expect everything to come at once. Especially to a little table of 2. It seemed like the server should have coursed things out– especially since there was calamari, which, if you don’t get to it right away goes rubbery and is ruined. Fair enough, the server acknowledged this on his own and offered to take the calamari back and then bring us a fresh order when were finished most of our other items. But when we got the new calamari is was super greasy, as if it had been swimming in not hot enough oil for a long time.
We told our server this and he took it off the bill, which was very nice of him. But I couldn’t help the feeling that these servers just can’t think for themselves and the productivity suffers.
When I visit the Keg downtown in Toronto, I never have to listen to a speech on my way to the table, I never get asked a bunch of dumb questions like «Have you been here before?» It’s a freaking KEG, they’re all the same and not that different than any other chain restaurant. Who hasn’t been to a Keg in their lifetime? I don’t like having to fill in a verbal survey before I even sit down.
Also, I’m by no means a feminist, but all the servers in the bar wearing their skimpy outfits? Come on. Why are these women expected to dress like playboy bunnies at work? A nice black dress is fine, but honestly, I don’t need to see that much T&A when I come for a casual drink. It’s blatant objectification of women. Also, if a potential employee didn’t fit into a skimpy dress like that would they hire her? I think not. Why could a man not work in the lounge? Restaurants need to get over the glossy way that things look and start encouraging their staff to be people. I know the attire of the lounge staff is the same across the board at all Kegs, but I don’t appreciate it.
Not a great experience here and it may have turned me off The Keg in general.

Visited this location on a Friday night around 8:30pm.
The atmosphere was live! A lot of young couples and friends dining in the bar area for appys/​dinner/​drinks. Our server, Jen M, was on point! She was laid back yet professional and made the experience a good one. So why 3 stars?
The Keg has always been ⁵⁄₅ for me. They do steak and they do it right. Potatoes are something to crave and their seasonal menu is a hit. But on Friday night, this particular location may have been feeling a bit under the weather. Out of our 4 meals, two had items missing. My friends date didn’t get her twice baked potato and I didn’t get my Oscar topping. I let Jen know and honestly, it came out in seconds, only the scallops, shrimp and asparagus were luke warm. I’m not sure, maybe they sit precooked and lay atop the steak and the béarnaise sauce keeps it hot? Either way, I was really hoping they’d be cooked to order and would come sizzling. But they were just sad looking instead and just begged me to put them out of their misery. So I did without complaint and shoveled it back. Why send back my topping when the rest of my meal would cool? I just sucked it up and enjoyed the best I could. It was still good, don’t get me wrong, just not up to my high Keg standards; know what I mean?
Regardless, I still tipped generously. It wasn’t our servers fault and it was rectified right away. I’d probably give this location another shot but maybe on a weekday evening when there can be a bit more focus on substituted/​altered meals. Otherwise, I’ll stick to my ol’ faithful Newmarket Yonge St location.

It doesn’t matter which location you visit most of the keg restaurants are all very much the same. The food is great the service is dependable and you’re going to spend roughly $ 50 per person. It straightforward. Whoever has not tried the keg should try it at least once and the regulars already know why they go there what they get each time.
I have tried their filet mignon and their chicken and most of their appetizers and I have never been disappointed. They get the order pretty accurately especially with how you want your steak.

Service was top notch. Attentive and on point. I love steak but I wish they had bigger steak. I am still hungry afterwards lol. The atmosphere is nice and casual.

Best patio in Vaughan. Great selection of drinks and friendly service. Not to crazy about the menu. Great place to go for drinks. Just find the menu needs a revamp to go with the atmosphere. 3 and a half stars.

Visited again for a friends birthday. What was done right/​wrong:
Right:
* Our server Patrick was fantastic. Entertaining, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly
* New menu (only found at this particular location for now).interesting items
* Blackened steak was fantastic (thanks to the waiter for suggesting it).cooked to perfection with a nice heat (flavour) to it
* An error made with a side dish was rectified immediately
* Free slice of cake for birthday girl was unexpected
* We recognized the girl who brought out our wine as the waitress who served us the last time we were here. She was fantastic… plus it speaks volumes that staff stay.
Wrong:
* My favourite steak (pecan encrusted) was taken off the new menu. Disappointing as it’s what I dreamt about when it was decided this is where we were going
* Side dish mix-​up. Ordered garlic mashed, got twice baked potato. It was fixed immediately. As a plus, they left the twice baked and it was off the charts good.
* Birthday girls steak (ordered medium) was well done. It was sent back and another one delivered shortly thereafter
Will we go back? Definitely.

Came here for a special occasion, staff was very friendly. Yes, sometimes the service is hit or miss, but even when its a miss its not horrible. Food is great here. I’ll def come back to this location

Wow! I was blown away from the phenomenal service I received at The Keg on a busy Friday night. I wish I remembered our waiters name because he was great!
Constantly refilling our waters, great recommendations, thorough explanation of the menu and to end off the night a complimentary dessert!
I decided on the 7oz filet classic keg entrée. This came with a choice of side dish, choice of salad and vegetables for a fair price of $ 39. A good thing to know is you can select any of the salads on the left hand side of the menu; I opted for a spinach salad with goat cheese which was a surprisingly large portion.
I asked for my meat to be cooked medium and found it to be on the medium well side, a little too tough for a filet.
The bar was not set too high for this location after reading other Unilocal reviews. The steak was slightly disappointing but the service far surpassed my expectations. Our waiter deserves the 4.5 stars for that alone.
Side note: no reservations on the weekend. The restaurant is huge but fills up pretty quickly around 7pm.

So, after my previous review the GM sent me a GC because he wanted to win back our business. Well, it started off great. The server we had greeted us well and was very personable. We ordered some drinks — my husband got a double Belvedere on the rocks and I a glass of Pinto Grigio, she asked if I wanted a 6 or 9 Oz and I chose the 9 and was glad I did.
My hubby got the crab dinner (they have a Dungeoness crab special on right now) with a twice baked potato and a side of sour cream. I ordered the Sweet and Spicy Salmon with a twice baked potato and sour cream on the side. We also got a side of mushrooms to share.
The service we had was great, until we ordered our food. By the time our food was brought to the table, my glass was almost empty and our server hadn’t asked if I needed/​wanted a refill or something else. This is why I’m glad I got the 9 Oz, it would have been empty — but maybe I would have been offered a refill if it was? My husband had to ask for his side of sour cream because although I got mine his was missing. Halfway through my meal my glass was officially empty and the ice I got on the side was completely melted… at least I had something to drink… I guess. I finished my meal and my husband finished his before our server asked if I wanted a refill.
We were seated for about an hour and only had one round of drinks… I had an empty glass for half of my meal. We aren’t slow drinkers and good service equals being asked if I was a refill BEFORE my glass is almost empty. It wasn’t that busy, even with the Boston-​Montréal game. And really, it was busier when we got good service than it was when we didn’t really get any service. We could see the service stand from our seat and I don’t know about you but if a guest’s glass is empty isn’t that more important that whatever conversation you are having with your co-​worker? Or am I just being overly critical here?
It’s too bad. This is the closest Keg to our house and after the three poor experiences we have had in the bar we won’t be back. The GC didn’t win back our patronage. A great alternative is the tucked away Canyon Creek on the other side of Vaughan Mills, the service and the food are much better there.

I am a pretty big fan of the Keg to start with, and this location didn’t disappoint.
My only «beef» with the Keg is that they don’t do reservations on Fridays and Saturdays, which is a huge pain in the ass when you have a group of 8 like we did. We were seated within a reasonable amount of time for a Friday (45 minutes).
In the 20 – 25 times I have eaten at a Keg, I have never been disappointed. Had a great 12oz teriyaki sirloin combo with shrimp and good to see Niagara wines on the menu.
