The Keg Steakhouse + Bar – Ajax

Have never been disappointed with the Keg! Our server was great. Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The food is always great and the prices are reasonable for what you get. The prime rib is our favorite and the Crème Brulee is always perfect.

In spite of it being what must be their craziest night (Valentines Day on Family Day weekend) we had a wonderful meal. Found seats and ordered drinks in the bar (mine: Pomegranate Fizz and his: Manhattan) with some appetizers. The calamari appeared quickly but the scallops were delayed. The calamari were crispy and the 2 dips delicious. One was mayo/​lemony and one was more Asian zing.
We had a shorter wait than expected, so just as we started our appetizer we saw our widget light up and a hostess helped us transfer to our table. A waiter introduced himself and left to chase down our scallops. Minutes later another waiter came to tell us he’d be taking over. He was good, but I don’t think I’ve ever been hammered for drink orders as much as I was this night. Became a bit annoying. My hubby ordered a beer to come with the steak (which, after the steak was delivered he had to remind them of when they asked us again if we wanted drinks — and then they didn’t even have the beer). This is the only reason they lost a star.
In the confusion they found the scallops which were cooked perfectly. The seafood sauce served with them is WAY too overpowering. Needs a brown sugar or teriyaki sauce.
I love the bacon-​wrapped filet and it is always tender and cooked to perfection as it was on this very busy night. We split the 10 oz as we’d already had those appetizers. The side of mushrooms were less flavourful than those I’ve had in the past at The Keg. Garlic mashed potatoes are the best side and we loved them.
Finished by splitting a Billy Miner ice cream pie slice drizzled with chocolate and caramel.

Ordered a couple of great entrees — Thai chicken and another chicken dish with brocollini and mashed potatoes and au jus. Great flavour and very juicy.
One tip — because Ajax is like the armpit of suburbia, the keg is one of only a few good places like this to chow down so weekends get mega busy. Show up at 5 or 6 or else expect to wait for an hour.

Tipicaly go here every Friday cannot say enough about the staff as we sometimes show up between 11 pm and midnight. Even at this time our food it perfect. Excellent job by staff hats off to the chef’s please keep up the great work.

Let’s start with the bad… one time I came here with a few friends for a special occasion and after not being able to finish my amazing food, I asked for the food to be packaged up to go, so looking forward to my leftovers… the waitress handed me a bag with my food in it, and when I get home, the bag she placed in my hand turned out to have someone elses leftovers in them… so disappointing!
Other than that, the food is a perfect ¹⁰⁄₁₀ every single time, the staff is always friendly and welcoming and I always want to come back.
My family asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday this year and of course I wanted to come here… I love that they really show their customer appreciation for special occasions by always bringing a free birthday dessert… this is the only place I’ve seen that doesn’t give a sliver of cake or a bite sized dessert for free for birthdays… you get a full sized, amazing dessert; I’m not all that into desserts but it really says something about customer value to the company :)

Great atmosphere
Great steaks
Great service
Cannot complain at all
Have been there many a times with my wife
The filet is still my fav on the menu
If I want an appy… I will usually grab the shrimp cocktail or bacon wrapped scallops
Don’t frequent too much as it’s pricey… but you get what you pay for
Will keep seeing you tonight when I want to indulge

Very nice décor and patio. The food is good although the last few times I’ve been my steak was overcooked. Love the bread. Good servers. Very busy Fridays and Saturdays.

We’ve tried going to this restaurant 3 times now and can’t get in. Twice were during the week and there is always a long wait. I would gladly sit in the lounge except it’s FULL each time. The areas to sit while you wait are full. I told my boyfriend that me standing in heels and a dress to wait 30 – 40 minutes (we were told) wasn’t happening. Sadly, each time we leave.

We went to Keg on a weekend evening with my wife and friends. I selected the Chef’s Special… Top Sirloin (medium rare) with prawns… it was tender, juicy, full of flavor… perfect!

Our all time favourite! We love their food but admittedly stick to our favourite dishes. Fillet mignon or teriyaki steak. Escargot is better that any restaurant I’ve been to, hands down. Service is generally very good. Can’t wait to go again!

So amazing. The baseball top sirloin is just amazing. Make it a classic and get the delicious Caesar salad or get escargot to start. Both very amazing!

Always has good food and good service. This Keg makes the best old fashioned and the Oscar is amazing.

Love The Keg! I’ve been to a number of locations and the one in Ajax is the best I’ve seen. The bar is spectacular and so is the décor throughout the restaurant. Big location, great atmosphere and service. And of course the food as always is amazing. I regularly get the French Onion Soup and the Prime Rib. Sometimes I’ll get the Mushrooms Neptune or Baked Garlic Shrimp.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience at The Keg regardless of the location, but if you are in the Ajax area this Keg is definitely worth going to.

The food here is amazing! Wait time on the weekend are insane but the food is worth it. Service is really good and man they have beautiful girls working here.
The Oscar is my favorite dish with crab on the side. Expensive but worth it!

My girlfriend tried to seduce me tonight by taking me to eat here. This is in my top 3 steakhouses. Atmosphere is great, we had a seat by the fireplace. She got the steak covered with shrimp and scallops. I tried it and it was excellent the sauce they used reminded me of a shrimp scampi, it worked well with the steak. I got the top sirloin and lobster. The steak was cooked to perfection and had beautiful flavor, the lobster was succulent and tender.

We came here to celebrate multiple family birthdays on a Sunday night. However, service was incredibly slow and they got one of the dishes wrong at our table, but we didn’t figure that out until it was too late. I got the manhattan cut of steak and it was disappointing. I didn’t want a huge steak but this particular steak was nothing to write home about. Disappointingly slow service, even though we were a good sized party, there was no reason for it. Service has consistently gone downhill since last year.

Came here for a Friday night celebration with my girlfriend. They don’t take reservations on Fridays or weekends, but we were seated without a wait. Our waiter was courteous and friendly. My girlfriend ordered a rare NY Strip and I ordered a rare Prime Rib. Both meats were cooked very nicely. Portions were perfect. A complimentary slice of cake was brought to us, on the house to celebrate our anniversary. Great customer service, good food, great environment. We’ll be back!

Ever notice all the wait staff are under weight? Also I can not stand when a waitress talks to us in a tone that I feel I should be back in kindergarten!
We were just asked, how are your salads treating you? Lol ummmmmmm how do you answer that

My favorite restaurant in the area. It’s a chain, but the food is always greAt! Love the Keg Classic Filet dinner.

I have to say… I’m surprised! This was, by far, the best experience I’ve ever had at a Keg.
We arrived shortly before 7:30 on a Thursday night and although we were advised there was a 30 minute wait, we were seated almost immediately.
This evening I opted for their Pecan Sirloin ($ 23.95) which is an 8oz top sirloin that’s topped with pecans and goat cheese. Now, I’m a big believer that everything should be made with goat cheese and this is the reason why. Of course, my steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare (The Keg rarely gets it wrong) but the combination of pecans and goat cheese sent this steak over the top. I would definitely order this dish again.
The service was also the best I’ve experience at any Keg in recent years. There was a rather large party beside us and our server moved amongst her tables as though she was hosting a dinner party, making sure everyone had what they needed at all times. It was really quite impressive to watch.
Over all, an excellent evening and compared to all other Keg’s, this one is… as good as it gets!
