The Keg Steakhouse + Bar

Visited tonight based on the positive reviews, but feel that it is has not lived up to the hype and is not worth the cost at all. Dad had a steak, rated it a 7 out of 10. Burger and prime rib sliders were a major disappointment and did not get eaten. Chicken dishes were ok but not worthy of $ 22 or whatever the price was. Worth $ 14 at best. Tuna tacos passable but the tuna was chilled and not seared to order. Service was ok but definitely missing the fine dining quality one would expect in a place like this. Apps were nice enough but overall I see no reason to return.

Great atmosphere. We usually sit in the bar. Happy hour is great. They have an orange cocktail that’s pretty yummy. They have 9 ounce pours for wine too which is always a plus. Good customer service. I’ve never had to wait for a drink or to order. Very attentative.

I just don’t get how this place has good reviews? I shook my head while reading them. We went here tonight with some family, 4 of us total. I’ve been here a time or two before, and was never a fan but thought I would give it another try because my mother in law wanted to go. Well… It sucked. service was okay I guess, nothing great. The bread they bring out was stale and flavorless. I know this May seem petty, but I asked for a straw 3 times and never got one from my waiter lol wasn’t even busy in there either. I ordered the grilled garlic shrimp appetizer for dinner with a side of rice. It was nothing like I had imagined. The shrimps are about the size of a quarter, if that. They were drowned in butter and cheese and were overcooked. The rice, ahh flavorless and overcooked. Gross. Just had no flavor at all. The food all tastes and looks pre-​cooked, not fresh. My husband got some sort of steak wrapped in bacon and said the bacon was all fat and the steak wasn’t anything good. He’s usually easy to please. And while looking at everyone’s face at my table while eating, no one was impressed. Just not good food for the high price. If you want amazing food, try wildfish in Scottsdale, that place is amazing and worth every penny. Just don’t get how people like this food! Too many negatives for me to ever come back, no matter who wants to try it out, I’m really done this time. I left still hungry and went to subway. Much better. Try wildfish in Scottsdale, they know how to prepare fresh amazing food!

They have an awesome happy hour. Very friendly staff. We sat at the bar and have had the same bartender a few times. She’s very quick and always attentive.

Love this place. It is my favorite. Wonderful food. Wonderful service. What can I say. It’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven:)

We had dinner here last week for my birthday. Sign up for their emails, and you get a $ 25 gift card for your birthday. It’s a great deal!
BEST FILET MIGON THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI!
The twice baked potatoes will make you wanna jump out of your booth right into a praise break!
Even the wedge salad is blessed and holy! SHUNDA!!!
This evening was made even more special by the amazing service of Cody and the manager on duty. They were VERY professional and friendly. Went out of their way to make the night special.
We will be back before my big 30!

Good service but really bad food. We came with our kids and they ordered the kids burger sliders that tasted like they came right out of a freezer and put on a grocery store potato roll… My wife and I both ordered the keg burger and they both came out well done and had a rubbery, frozen patty feel. Surprisingly the worst Niger I can remember ordering in a long time. I have had steaks here before and they were ok, but the sides and other food we ordered were on point with Applebee’s.

Took an hour from order to food at table. The worst part was my $ 35 steak was over cooked, asked for medium rare got well done. Although The flavor was excellent. They gave us free round of drinks and took the steak off the bill. Nice service.

Came to celebrate a birthday dinner during the week. Came in around 5:30 and got seated right away. We had the prime rib and a filet, cooked to perfection, med rare. Even the martini was amazing, lemon and ginger, who knew? Service was outstanding, attentive but not overbearing… I wish I could remember his name, Mike? A 40ish, cool family guy from Jersey. Anyway we’ll be back.

Our wedding anniversary we decided the Keg. Service was awesome, great cosmos and margaritas. Filet was perfect med. rare. Sea bass delicious. Manager brought house champagne for our celebration. Great touch! We will be back.

This was our first time, we were so glad to be able to make a reservation, when we arrived at 6 there were people waiting.
Our server introduced herself right away. The service was excellent. I took advantage of the ordering from the Keg Classic New York Strip (12oz.) which had the benefits of a salad, Sauteed Mushrooms and a choice of accompaniment. My dining partner just ordered a New York Strip (12oz.) which came with your choice of accompaniments.
If you are dining here for an unbelievable steak like you might find at Ruth Chris or BLT, then this is the wrong place, BUT for the price and a well seasoned steak it is very good. My Classic was $ 35 and the other was $ 29, very very reasonable.
Excellent service, good food and fun time had. P. S. I would have had photos but where we were seated was to dark. Sorry

The keg here is amazing! The bar tender knows exactly how to mix a drink and the baseball cut was fantastic. Nicolette, our server was a pleasure and the amount of pleasant attention was wonderful.
Very enjoyable for my birthday celebration.

We went to The Keg to celebrate my Dad’s 71^st birthday and we are sad to say the experience was just bad. My Dad summed it up when we asked how his Prime Rib was and he uttered a choice adjective that I have never heard him say before.
I read the reviews and I wonder if we had dinner at the same place. The food was just bad. The shrimp smelled as though it was a couple of days old and the quality of the rest of the food that came out seemed like it was better served at a truck stop than a $ 50/​plate restaurant. The filet I had was really fatty and the mashed potatoes literally had no flavor. When we compare The Keg to other premium Steakhouses throughout the valley, like Steak 44, there is truly no comparison in terms of the quality of the food. Our server was great, but holy cow do they need to work on their food.

I was initially a bit leery of this place, based on location and vibe: kind of a pricey, chain-​like steak place. However, I left pleasantly surprised, and was very pleased w/​the attentive service (thanks, Justin), and a really tasty NY Strip that was well-​marbeled and perfectly cooked. The only negative was the bar. Bartender needs to learn how to make an Old Fashioned, and the Grey Goose martini I had tasted watered down. .. Otherwise, really good meal!
Cheers!

If you were smart you’d stop scrolling, drop everything, and read this immediately.
I give this place an easy 5 stars. I booked my reservation on Open Table and we were seated immediately upon entering… Which reminds me… Think back to the first time you went to Disneyland. How about the first time you discovered the jar of powder sugar in the pantry? How about when you were reunited with your biological parents 27 years after growing up and finding out that at birth the hospital sent you home with the wrong family??? Yeah, the feeling I had when I walked in here tonight was something like that. I was home. And I was happy.
Our server was Debbie. Don’t mess this up. Make sure you get her as your server. Just as a ship needs a compass and a rudder to guide you through a storm, so too did we need Debbie to lead us to culinary bliss.
The Neptune Mushrooms things were the way to start it off. It prepared us mentally for what was to come.
I ordered a New York Strip because I’m not a 7 year old girl ballet dancer. My wife got the sirloin. If you don’t order it medium rare then you probably should just stay home and make a bowl of Cheerios so you don’t screw up your life. The steaks were perfect. Like… Fit for Zeus perfect. In fact they may have even been prepared by Him for all I know.
Now enter the double baked potato. Wedge salad. Mushrooms. Peppers. And an extra side of asparagus because why wouldn’t you do that?
Perfection. Every. Single. Thing. Perfection.
I washed it down with a Pepsi because the Keg cares deeply about people and knows that Coke is for convicts and the kids from the Sandlot.
It was everything I hoped it would be and more.
*mic drop*

My husband and I visited The Keg for the first time last Friday night for a much needed, baby-​free date night. We danced around where to go, and ultimately decided here as something «new». I had always heard good things about it, so I was excited to give it a try… and I could not be happier we made that choice!
Service:
I will start here since this is the #1 thing that matters to me in most places, and I was SO happy with it. Our server (Debbie) was polite, pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. And she was fast. We literally never had to ask for anything. On a Friday night… that’s a HUGE bonus! Thank you Debbie!
Drinks:
Sadly no cocktails this visit – prego momma and dad was kind enough not to rub it in, so nothing to report here.
Starters:
We only tried 1 app since it was just the two of us, and we opted for the calamari. Lightly breaded/​fried which was nice, and a surprise accompaniment by some red peppers and jalapeños. While the chili-​ginger dipping sauce was good, it’s not something i generally think of to pair with calamari, so I didn’t use it but for one taste. Instead, I substituted the greek feta sauce (odd dipping choice for calamari don’t you think?) for a garlic aioli and then added tabasco – YUM!
**Just note when order apps: they also serve warm bread… i think it was a sourdough. Amazing! Could have eaten the whole thing :)
Dinner:
Call us boring, or call us smart (i’d like to think the latter) but my husband and I ordered the exact same thing. From their summer lobster menu we got the Steak and ½ Lobster. Not ½ lobster TAIL… an entire ½ of a lobster! It was really decently priced, and that lobster was actually fresh, not frozen, unlike the tails serve off of their regular menu. The 6 and 8 oz steaks were decent sized and truly cooked to perfection; although they did mix up our steaks on who got what size – they were cooked appropriately and my husband sacrificed some extra meat for our growing kid haha.
The lobster was UN-​REAL! So sweet, very easy to remove surprisingly, and despite eating my steak first, was still really warm when it was time to eat.
We both got the veggie medley as our accompaniment, and while a good selection of veggies, they were a little undercooked for my liking. Just barely not raw. But, with a little of the butter sauce from the lobster it was manageable :)
The only downside I would say is the parking. The parking available immediately next to the restaurant is always full. And while the rest of the «mall» parking isn’t too far from the location, on a hot summer night when you’re pregnant… not a huge fan haha.

We went here on a Saturday night at around 4ish 5. You would assume that’s an early dinner; but when we arrived, we were told the dining room would have a 2 to 2.5 hours wait unless we have a reservation. Luckily for us, the patio and bar area was open and barely anyone was there.
My fiancé and I had a wonderful time. He ordered the New York Strip and I had the half lobster and 6oz steak. Luckily for me, this was the day they had lobster and it was so succulent. I finished the whole thing even though I was beyond full.
So, if you come here on a lobster night, please get the lobster. Even though it is expensive, it is well worth it. The best part about this dinner was that we didn’t even say anything to our waiter, Kane; but, he asked if we were celebrating anything tonight. It was like he knew! We told him we were celebrating our one year anniversary and he was like «Congrats» and at the end of our meal, brought us out an ice cream desert which had oreos and caramel and fudge.
Our server, Kane, was super great at servicing us; we would go back just for him!

We came for Lobster Fest and everything was excellent. The losters are two pound and are flown in from Nova Scotia twice a week. Highly recommended, service and food was outstanding.

My girlfriend and I ate here because we had a gift card. We both enjoyed our meals. My steak and baked potato were great. The customer service was great. I really enjoyed the inside of this fine establishment and I may be back to try another meal.

Service is really good, but I’m not that impressed with their food. I’ve had better sourdough bread and butter. I hate that whipped butter, it seems fake to me. The rolls are mass produced, boring, no character. It’s a chain, I get it. I have a love of really good sourdough, and this doesn’t cut it.
I had the prime rib and the au jus had too many herbs in it. That was the first time I’d ever experienced it that way, and I didn’t really care for it. The meat was cooked well. I asked for a baked potato with butter, sour cream, and chives. No bacon. It came out with bacon and no chives. The quickly fixed it, so not really a huge deal, but then left the bacon potato on the table the rest of the dinner. I don’t really want to look at the potato with the bacon I didn’t want for the rest of my meal.
It’s a fine restaurant for celebrations if you like to go to chains. I prefer something more unique.
