    Prime Rib Sliders.
    David N.

    We decided to do a little Christmas shopping on a recent Saturday afternoon and figured it might be a good idea to fortify ourselves with a little alcohol and food first. I'd been meaning to check out this location of The Keg for a while, so the fact that they had a promising-looking Happy Hour menu only sealed the deal. We showed up a little after 3:00 and were shown to a cozy table near the bar. The vibe was exactly what I was hoping for, and our super helpful and friendly server only heightened the welcoming feel. I didn't want to eat a ton of food, so I decided to go with one of the Prime Rib Sliders ("freshly shaved, horseradish dijon, red wine herb jus"), and we also got a side order of fries to share. (We were also given some complimentary bread, which was delicious, but yeah it turned out to be a lot of food.) The sandwich was superb. The tender, plentiful meat is accompanied by delicious fried onions and that terrific red wine herb jus. I pretty much inhaled my sandwich, and then dipped the fries in that delectable jus. I really enjoyed our brief time at The Keg, and I know that we'll be returning very soon to enjoy a proper meal there.

    My wife and I went with the plan to have a nice steak dinner. We hadn't had lunch and it was only 4pm. We ended up ordering Hama burgers and fries. And we were so glad we had. The burger was delish, and not nearly as big a meal as a steak and sides. Now, we were stuffed, and the burger was so good it subbed for the steak quite nicely. And instead of a $150 bill it was less then $50 (before tip) We commented that we paid a $1 more for a lesser burger at a burgers only restaurant earlier that week. Very nice dining room and our server was fantastic. And I had my first Keg Caesar! It was very good as well.

    Lovely food at the keg. We usually come on Thursday evenings and it's packed. Once we were seated too close to another noisy party in the bar so this time we were seated in the dining room. 100% difference. Bar area service was super slow and the server forgot to give us bread until like 20 minutes later. It showed up when our appetizers arrived lol. Dining area service was faster and more attentive. Had their strip-loin medium rare Chicago style w garlic confit butter and it was great!! Maybe could have had some maldon salt to finish but I loved trying their slightly charred on the outside chicago grill style. It gave it a nice crust w a bit more flavor without it tasting absolutely burnt. Must try if you haven't! The inside was still a perfect medium rare. Good job keg! My partner got a keg burger w fries and he really liked it as well. It's nicely balanced w lots of flavor and the lettuce / tomato veggies were fresh.

    The new Keg Burger...

    Dear Keg Sherway... what happened? I will start by saying I have been coming to this Keg location on a frequent basis since it first opened, and prior to that when it was located at the West Mall and Bloor St. I sincerely hope the management (or better yet, corporate) reads this review, and all others saying the same thing, and actually does something to correct this. Within the last few weeks, the quality of the food has plummeted, and menu items have changed dramatically. I am (or was) a big fan of the Keg Burger when I wasn't feeling like ordering a steak. Don't bother ordering it. It is NOT the same burger as it used to be. I am not sure what they are trying to go for with this new burger, but I suggest they quickly scrap it, and revert back to their former burger offering. Before you ask "who goes to a steakhouse and orders a burger?", their old burger truly was something great. Those who have ordered it in the past know how juicy and delicious it was. The burger used to have real freshly sliced pickles, tomato, leaf lettuce, onions, thick freshly grilled bacon, and more, not to mention the delicious patty. They've removed it all, and replaced it with lame store bought sweet pickles straight from a jar, scantly portioned shredded lettuce, and a sauce that tastes like Big Mac sauce, but has some strange chemical taste. It completely overpowers the patty. It even looks like a Big Mac. You know when you lift the bun off pretty much any McDonald's offering, only to see the tiny portioned vegetables and oodles of sauce? That's pretty much what they've done here. It's not something to take pride in. Please bring back the old burger. The new burger honestly sucks, to put it bluntly. I thought their previous burger was a bit pricey, but at least it was delicious and well presented. You got what you paid for. This new burger is a blatant ripoff, and I've seen better presentations with McDonald's burgers. I mean seriously... It seems like this burger was designed to maximize their profits at the expense of the customer. We get it. Businesses in Canada are suffering for many reasons, but don't take it out on the customer. Cut costs elsewhere. Not your product! Other dinner party members weren't pleased with their steaks, they were tough and very fatty compared to normal. Prime rib slider buns came burnt, and I mean very burnt. I am no chef, but those wouldn't have left my kitchen. I'd feel embarrassed serving them to paying customers. I give one star because I can't leave zero stars. That single star goes to the only star of our meal, the waitress. She was phenomenal, and very understanding of the situation. She noticed the issues as well, as did the manager who made the situation bearable. The staff was all A+, and I feel bad for them, because they are going to get the brunt of customer complaints when stuff like this happens. If it wasn't for them, the meal would have been much worse. I've attached a photo of the old burger, versus the new burger... they don't even look like they are from the same establishment! Expectation vs. Reality! It's comically bad. As for the ambiance, the music was good and there were no complaints there. But I come to the Keg to eat a nice meal. (Dare I say the leather chairs may have been softer than the steaks?) I cannot recommend a visit to this location, or any other Keg locations if this is the new norm. Not worth the money. Go elsewhere. Keg, fix these issues and listen to your customers!

    I recently had lunch at the Keg at Sherway Gardens with some of my colleagues. Joseph was our server and he started us off with hot fresh bread.  Yum! Prime rib was a special and that's what I ordered ... I asked to have it cooked medium-well.  It was delicious.  I had garlic mashed potatoes as my side. Joseph was friendly and helpful and took good care of us.

    Was meeting a friend for dinner who wanted to go to Cactus Club. The wait was incredibly long for Cactus Club (2+ hours) so we grabbed a table at The Keg on their patio. The wait to sit was short and we were the first patrons there before tables began filling up. Dining at The Keg with covid allots you 90 minutes. Our server had forgotten to tell us this but we overheard another server informing other patrons that were being seated nearby. Tables are spaced out. Servers wear masks and patrons are expected to wear masks upon entry but take them off when seated. We went at 7pm. They were introducing a new lunch menu, which was rolled out on August 17 that we were allowed to order from that evening. We each ordered an item from that menu; steak salad and crispy chicken burger. My steak salad was very filling and tasty. The meat was tender and melted in my mouth. Even the greens were loaded with avocado, tortilla strips and mixed vegetables. My friend's crispy chicken burger looked so good too, she said it hit the spot. We ordered nachos for the table and they were massive and fully loaded. Both of us had drinks, which were also superb. Being immersed in conversation had me eating slower than usual so the waitress provided a nudge and informed us we had 15 minutes remaining. Upon wrapping up my meal, we paid, then left. The restaurant at that point was at capacity with some people lined up waiting to get in.

    Love the baseball top sirloin. Great service on bossing day. Bossing day? Boxing day. Happy new year!!!

    Went here for an early dinner and Lindsay, our server, was outstanding. He welcomes us with open arms, went over the menu in detail, and took our order quickly, making some suggestions. I can't remember the last time I had such great service like that! We ordered wine, and the winter special of 18oz Kansas City steak with double baked potato, and it was delicious. The wine came to our table quickly and the entrees as well. The baked potato with sour cream and butter baked in, was so creamy and tasty. The steak has excellent flavor with the Keg seasoning and black pepper. It had a nice charred taste to it too. We will definitely be coming back here. It's a large restaurant with a nice bar on one side.

    SPECIAL COVID-19 EDITION REVIEW: SAFETY PRACTICES, PROTOCOLS AND MORE. MASKS ARE MANDATORY BEFORE GETTING TO YOUR SEAT. First time here...The Keg Steakhouse and Bar is located at Sherway Gardens mall, just across from Catcus Club. We had a reservation at The Keg and unfortunately Amanda couldn't find it but she helped us out and we got our table. All of the staff are wearing masks, only the outdoor patio and the patio upstairs are open. There are fans everywhere while the patio windows are open, there's no A/C, so this was perfect and actually the first restaurant I've seen with a rooftop patio that did that. +1 here for sure! Our server, Katherine, was very nice. We had a shrimp cocktail as an appetizer, and some table bread to start. I had the burger, we weren't very hungry but we just had a little bite to eat. Girlfriend got a small salad and a watermelon cosmo. Both tasted great. Katherine did forget my extra side of mayo but as requested, no pickle in my burger. JOEY restaurants had made that mistake before! Great table, friendly staff, service was on par. Management is great. Overall, it was amazing. Only thing was they don't have a happy hour menu like JOEY, Cactus Club, similar restaurants, however, it's a tiny bit classier. 4/5! Definitely give this place a try, during the pandemic (safely) or after the pandemic. It's worth it! :) Thank you, Amanda, Katherine and the entire Keg team for making us feel welcome.

    The Baked Brie

    It was a birthday celebration for me. The Billy was on the house. Omg the baked Brie was so delicious. That is my absolute favourite dish of all time!!!!! My strip was cooked to perfection and very very very juicy. Didn't wait long as it was not busy we went during the week for dinner overall the keg is always a hit and never a miss for me !!!! Will be going back in two weeks to celebrate my mom's birthday

There are also nightly and weekend happy hours, but we came here after work. - The white sangria is awesome! My former manager reached out to me about a few work-related questions. It was nice hearing from him. It's my usual self to ask if he'd like to go out for a meal. He was game with either the two of us, or past and current writers. I went with the latter, as it would be nice to have a happier meetup than what we did in November when he was let go. I hadn't been to Earls in a long time. I was a fan of this western Canadian chain when I lived in Winnipeg. Back then. it wasn't as upscale as it seems to be these days. The food was yummy and I liked dropping by. I asked him if he was good with this Earls across from CF Sherway Gardens. He was. There were a total of four folks who said yes. Another colleague said that he'd drop by to say hi. I didn't account for him in the reservation, as he'd be there briefly. I reserved online through OpenTable. It was party of four for 4:30 pm. It was great getting the occasional text message to confirm that we were still good to be here on a Wednesday at 4:30 pm. I was the first to make it here. I had no problem finding a parking spot and backed into an available one. I walked into the eatery. I was greeted by a friendly woman. I said that I had a reservation for four under my name. She found me and led me me to a booth. I looked at the happy hour menu. Red and white sangria were available. I went with the latter. It had peaches and oranges in it. It was delightful. We got water with ice. I waited for my friends and colleagues to arrive. Two of my friends had arrived, followed by the hi-and-bye friend. Two of them looked at my white sangria and order the same thing. Our other friend got a Moscow mule. My former manager texted me. He said that he was stuck in traffic on the 401 and he'd be late. I said that we'd be here. He eventually made it. Yay! He saw that most of us had sangria. He ordered the red sangria. Alcohol does hit him fast. Luckily, we were here for a few hours, so it eventually wore off. Even our server asked if he was okay, which was kind. Service was great. Our female server was attentive, making sure that our water was refilled and we were good. The manager came over and was looking for me. He said that to thank me for my "loyalty," he wanted to give us a complimentary Nashville crispy chicken and pickle skewers. I said that I wouldn't say no to free food! This appetizer was excellent. The pickle was a bit spicy. The crispy chicken was tender and not spicy. It was such a nice gesture. Our table got these items: - Baja taco (me) - Szechuan shrimp and pork dumplings (me) - Aburi salmon sushi press - Clam chowder - Bigger better burger with fries - Truffle tortellini I loved my baja taco. The fish was generous and flaky. It had a light, crispy batter.It was delicious. The szechwan shrimp and pork dumplings were excellent. The chili sauce had a ton of flavour. My former manager's aburi salmon sushi press needed more flavour. This place doesn't have wasabi. Instead, I said to dip his sushi in the szechwan sauce. He did and said it was much improved. I got to try a bit of his sushi and I also dipped it in the sauce. Yummy! My friends loved their meals. Everything was off the happy hour menu, except for the truffle tortellini that looked amazing. For dessert, we got these items: - Lemon meringue pie - Sticky toffee chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream Our friend had left, so we were a table of four. We devoured both desserts in five minutes. It was quite the feat to witness! The lemon meringue pie is seasonal. It should be on the menu all the time. It was fantastic. The lemon had the perfect tartness. The meringue was light and perfect. The sticky toffee chocolate pudding was moist and decadent. We loved the vanilla ice cream and the crispy wafer. Since I'm the fruit person, I had all the sliced strawberries. So good! We got separate bills. I paid with a credit card at the table. I tipped and tapped. Done! A few of us used the washroom before we left. The women's was clean and inviting. No complaints! My former manager was waiting outside. He noticed that my car was still there. It felt like old times chatting for a bit before heading our separate ways. The food and drink were excellent at this eatery. The company was perfect. Service was wonderful. I'd return here for more good eats and drinks. (147)

Unfortunately I don't think their…read moreSummerlicious menu is one where you actually get value as they halve the portions so depending on what you order you're either getting close to or less than the value you're paying for. The Crispy Chili Tofu appetizer was good and decent portion for an appetizer. The Santa Fe Chicken Salad was not good - would not order it again. The chicken was way too dry, and I had asked for extra dressing which took a long time to arrive. Earls should offer the option for customers to choose Steak, Shrimp, or Chicken and if chicken, the choice of White or Dark Meat. The Cheesecake dessert was OK taste-wise but SO SMALL. They couldn't even provide a full slice of cheesecake?? It was literally a regular slice of cheesecake cut in half - looked so bad. It was so thin that it couldn't even stand up on the plate and was falling over.

It definitely makes it easier if you have to wait a few minutes. We came here for Mother's Day lunch, I'm so glad I was able to make a reservation. There was a huge lineup a few minutes after we arrived. I liked that it was lively but not loud, we could still have a normal conversation. I have enjoyed their popular dishes in the past but really wanted something different. So today we tried all new dishes and wow were they amazing! I ordered the oven roasted wild cod. It comes with steamed and crispy rice, snap peas, cauliflower, almonds and a Thai peanut curry sauce. It was a symphony of flavour and texture! I already want to go back and order it again. Hubs ordered the blackened chicken with warm potato salad. This was incredible as well! The potatoes are mini, smashed and then deep fried. I could have eaten an entire plate of them! The service was exceptional, our server Quinn made sure my mother in laws meal was GF. They checked twice and made sure the kitchen knew. So appreciate the attention to this as she is celiac and can get very sick. My daughter ordered the Joey burger and she said it was amazing too. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon blanc, on Quinn's recommendation, and it was absolutely lovely. Great food, great wine, and exceptional service! I will be back soon for the cod. Please keep it on the menu!!

So I was pretty excited to check the place out on a recent Saturday evening. We didn't have a reservation and the place was quite crowded, so it was a surprise that we were seated at a comfy, two-person booth. We wound up sharing a couple of things: the Fiesta Salad ("Mixed greens, arugula, avocado, black beans, corn, grape tomatoes, pickled red onion, salsa verde, crispy corn tortillas, feta cheese, creamy lime dressing") and the Street Chicken Tacos ("Roasted Achiote chicken, shredded cabbage, cheddar cheese, Pico de Gallo, green onion, chipotle aioli, honey lime vinaigrette, cilantro"). Despite some regretfully slow service, the food arrived relatively quickly and was tasty. The tacos, while nothing mind-blowing, hit the spot and were elevated considerably by the available hot sauce. And the salad was well put together and full of quality ingredients. It's actually a bit of a relief to discover that Jack Astor's is almost exactly how I remembered it, complete with the server writing their name on the table in crayon.

    I think it's about time someone wrote a review of this place. This is a locals bar on lakeshore…read moreby browns line. Have to admit my first couple trips here were not great... it was a lot rougher place back pre-Covid and it was not uncommon for fights to break out... along with some unsavoury characters hanging out by the pool table. Fast forward to 2024 and it's a much different picture. Still very much a locals bar, but it's become a friendly regular hangout for me when in the area. Food (4/5) - I've had multiple items on the menu and tend to try the daily specials which are usually pretty good. The wings are quite good too... meaty and cooked the way you want them... especially salt and pepper. Service (4.75/5) - I get the sense this has improved significantly over time but the current dynamic duo of Ellena and Yasmin do a great job of managing the bar and floor most nights. Food orders come out quickly and they are always attentive and friendly. Ellena is the sole reason I gave this place a second chance after having a couple bad first experiences. Atmosphere (4/5) - it's your typical locals bar with a central bar, lots of TVs and the requisite pool table. SJ is unique in that they have live bands 3-4 nights a week with no cover most nights. Crowds are muted Monday to Wednesday... and then fills up on Thursdays through Sunday. After coming here a few times I had locals coming up to me saying hi and getting to know you. Not at all like those pre 2020 days. Overall (4.25/5) - I think this place got a bad rap before and probably deservedly. This is a different bar now and I would encourage people to check it out.

    Atmosphere is good, but I was sorely disappointed with the beef ribs. Not sure where they sourced…read morethe meat from, but it was dry/chewy and not much meat on it. For $7.50/rib, I should've ordered the tacos

    Scruffy Murphy's is exactly what you want from a neighborhood Irish pub in Etobicoke: warm,…read moreunpretentious, and reliably good most of the time. Walk in and you're hit with that classic pub smell--wood, beer, and something frying--and it instantly feels comforting. The dark interior, Guinness mirrors, and Celtic knick-knacks give it genuine character without feeling like a theme-park knockoff. The patio out back is a nice bonus when the weather cooperates, and the live music on weekends is usually a talented one-man-band or duo who know how to work the room. Food-wise, it's mostly a home run. The wings are massive and come in a honey-garlic that's legitimately addictive, the fish & chips batter is crisp and greaseless, and the shepherd's pie is proper comfort food--hearty, well-seasoned, and served scorching hot. The Irish nachos (potato slices instead of tortilla chips) are a fun twist and disappear fast. Prices are very fair for the portion sizes; you'll leave full without feeling robbed. Service is friendly 9 times out of 10. The staff are the type who remember your name after two visits and pour a perfect pint, but on busy nights (Friday/Saturday after 9 pm) it can get stretched thin. Small gripes aside, Scruffy's is still one of the best pure pubs in Etobicoke. Great spot for a casual pint, catching the game, or a no-fuss plate of elevated pub grub.
