    My wife and I had a wonderful meal at The Keg. The food, service, and ambiance was excellent. I had a steak and greatly appreciate the complimentary bread. Our waitress went above and beyond to provide us with a great night out and we really enjoyed our experience. When there is a reason to celebrate we often find ourselves eating at The Keg.

    Steak with lobster tail and gnocchi medley

    Fantastic job navigating a large dinner through covid. Servers and staff where polite friendly and knowledgeable. We where a party of 5 had appetizers, mains and dessert. The calamari was perfect great side sauces and a sharable app. The bread was nice as well. The mushrooms Neptune where a bit dissapointing they where served in snail dishes where very small and more cream cheese then crab. Not a great app to share with a group but cooked well. Mains where cooked nicely we all had a variety of steak and seafood. Steaks where tender but we did wonder if they had mixed up my husband's steak and mine as mine was ordered rare and his medium rare and they where reversed. I had the garlic mashed with crab legs and lobster tail to go with my steak. No complaints on my meal. The gnocchi medley on my husband meal was unfortunately a bit burnt. You can see in the pictures. But overall everyone loved their meals. My in-laws loved the prime rib as well. Desserts where fantastic and huge we tried one of each on the menu Great portions sizes all around we left full! Attentive servers some of the best wait staff I've seen in awhile. We felt safe and well attended to. Would highly recommend.

    I went to this steakhouse for my birthday. We ordered one of the dishes that our server recommended, steak with mushroom sauce alongside a baked potato. We ordered our steaks medium rare but after our first bite, we found that it was welldone. Dry and tough to chew, but the baked potato made up for that as it was very tasty. We also received a complementary chocolate ice cream cake which is always appreciated. It was yum! It was probably my favourite part of the night even though I usually don't like sweets. I probably won't return to this restaurant on my own, but I'd be willing to go for family or friends' special occasions.

    It was my close friends birthday so we decided to go somewhere nice to celebrate. I haven't had the keg in a while but last time I came I remember their steaks being top notch. Boy I was not disappointed. To start we ordered some garlic cheese toast, super cheesy and a little greasy but delicious LOL. Had a bottle of wine as well which sadly I can't remember which one... (rip) for mains I got the 10oz filet mignon, medium rare. The sauce was creamy and meat was so tender. Everything was cooked to perfection including the vegetables on the side. The mashed potatoes were really good and seasoned very nicely. To top it off, they gave a complimentary cake to my friend which was also delicious. Next time I come I'm saying it's my birthday (just kidding) but the cake is literally to die for. Everything about our meal was perfect and had no complaints. At the price point, I really felt satisfied and didn't have that feeling of having overspent on a meal.

    The Keg in Waterloo

    This restaurant is one of a small chain located in Canada, with a few select cities in the US. I have visited their Waterloo location several times during business trips. After my first visit, I decided that this restaurant met most of my needs, and from that point forward, I made it the destination place for dinner during each of my trips. I simply think that this is a great restaurant for dinner. The atmosphere is conservatively presented. It has a dark warm appearance. There is a variety of music that is always being presented in the background. If you do not wish to dine in the dining area, you may dine in a bar area, where there are multiple TV monitors located about. During the winter months there is a fireplace with a warm roaring fire to dine near. During the summer, a rather large patio area is available for outside dining. What about the food? Where do I begin? The Prime Rib is excellent. Also the steaks are very good. Even their chicken and salmon is very tasty, especially for a steakhouse. If you like salads, I recommend the Caesar. And finally wonderful well presented desserts are available that include such items as Crème Brulee and a Mini Cherry Cheese Cake. I highly recommend the Mini Lemon Blueberry desert. Hostesses and very friendly, and efficient. It is a restaurant that is memorable and worth returning to multiple times.

    It was an average experience. The environment is nice and the drink was nice. I ordered one of the white wine and it was great. We all tried out different steaks and I ordered lobster and steak. The lobster was good and the fancy candle with butter was great. But the stead was OVERCOOKED. And it cost me almost 65 dollars in total with tips. I would say it was good but not that worthy.

    Prime rib prepared perfectly

    The only decent restaurant I could find within walking distance from the Sheraton, the Keg was well worth the effort. The wine selection was good, though I would have preferred a few more choices of full bodied reds by the glass. I ordered the prime rib, which is the house specialty I'm told. It was perfect - done rare medium rare to my preference, and not at all overdone. It canes with some zesty horseradish and decadent mushrooms. To finish it off, I had a 10 year tawny port which made the meal almost perfect. (I dined alone, so it would have been better if it wee shared.) The ambience was good - John Legend meets Canadian whiskey. My only complaint is that the 19 year-old hostess tried to seat me in the bar instead of the dining room without bothering to ask my preference. I guess she figured since I was by myself I would rather sip a beer and watch football than actually enjoy some quiet table where I could be away from the TV. Otherwise, a solid very good experience.

    Rare Bone in ribeye
    Ray B.

    Decided to treat myself to a steak dinner and so stopped in to the Keg on Northfield. Was such a nice day I opted for a table on the patio. Friendly and efficient staff escorted me from the bar to the patio when my table was ready. I ordered calamari to start, Caesar salad, and bone in ribeye as my entree. The calamari was excellent with peppers and okra mixed in. The Caesar was a little lack luster but the bone in ribeye was very good and cooked as ordered, rare. The only item served that wasn't very good was the whiskey sour I ordered which was made with a bar mix sour and no garnish. Mixed and served in the same glass....pretty poor cocktail for the price.

    Well can't complaint about this meal!! Great from start to finish. Started out with baked Brie, wedge salad. My wife and her mom had the baseball steak while I went with the Rib steak! All were cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. Finished off with coffee, cheese cake and creme brûlée!! Great meal and now time for a nap!!

I went out with crutches and a knee splint and he went out of his way to find something to support my leg so I could sit comfortably. He was also so kind to retrieve us information from the bar manager multiple times when we were trying to figure out what wine and beer we wanted to take home. In addition to the service, the food was great and the wine and beer pairings they selected fit with the food fit so well. Our mains were our favourite - the trout and osso bucco. Both came with amazing sauce, and sides were cooked perfectly. I would definitely go back to see what they have on their everyday menu to test it out. And I 100% recommend you try them out as well!

Was it the five course Irish dinner that I was lucky enough to score a seat for? With a friggin coursed beer pairing? If I had to settle on one thing, it was probably the stellar service. The staff was so personable and the bar tenders world class. Can't wait to visit again.

Me and my friend were picked out by…read moresecurity and kicked out for no reason, and I think it's important that people should know what it's like here before going: We were celebrating my friend's birthday in November, and were hanging out close to the bar. It was starting to get crowded and I had my second drink of the night in my hand: I was not drunk. We were having a good time. At some point, security barrels through the crowd. Drinks flying and I was pushed to the floor. I was soaked in alcohol, and my glass was empty. There was a fight at the other and of the bar that had nothing to do with us, and security broke it up and kicked the guys out. I got another drink and went on with my life - I wasn't too upset about being pushed cause I figured they were just doing their job. We went out for some air about 10 minutes later when a security starts yelling at us. He had been splashed in the chaos and I guess he was mad about it. Weird cause he was the one pushing people. Anyway he starts yelling at us, saying we purposefully threw the drink, even though he didn't say which one of us it was. He banned us both for the night, and refused to check cameras cause he didn't feel like it (after threatening to check cameras when he started to accuse us). It was so random, and I'll bet any money that he had drinks from half the bar on him, seeing as I was dripping wet from my own drink (the drinks aren't that big there). I was calm, apologized, said it wasnt on purpose, and that I didn't care that much about him throwing me to the ground 15 minutes before. He was inconsolable, rude, and defiant. Eventually we gave up and went to a bar next door. It felt so weird to be singled out like that for no reason. We weren't rowdy or drunk, we were buying drinks (or trying to) so I have no idea why he got so pissed at us even though I'm sure everyone's drinks were on him. I posted a review about this on Google and it got taken down. Shame since it could be such a cute place, the decor is cute, and everyone there was vibing. I'm sorry you got wet my dude but consider that people at bars usually are holding drinks. Tdlr; security here are assholes.
