The Keg

Angela was an awesome server at this location. She too care of us very well. Our thanks to her!

Done! May never return. New manager was the most ignorant person I have ever encountered in the service industry.

Amazing food and amazing service! When I get good service, I tip very well and every waitress/​waiter Ive had here have been nothing but amazing. I made sure they know how much I appreciate it.

Great food, lively atmosphere, and close to home! Good place for a date night or a Family dinner out!

I have to travel quite a bit for work. Stumbled on The Keg last night through checking Unilocal and boy was it amazing. Walking in there was a long wait but 2 seats were available for my coworker and I at the bar. The bartenders were great and very knowledgable about the menu and really seemed to love their jobs. The meals were incredible and with that I will be returning for more.

A Great Steak…
Ok, I know what you’re thinking…“It’s the Keg” so what right? Well I’m telling you guys, if you want a great Steak in your neighborhood that’s easy on your wallet, this is the restaurant to visit. Service is always terrific, we like sitting in the leather booths in the bar, just perfect for couples whether it’s a first date or a nice evening out with your wife, its agreeable… so don’t over reach too much, this review is not about fine dining or about a cutting edge restaurant, its only about a great glass of red wine and a great piece of Alberta Beef in the neighborhood. We highly recommend if you’re craving both. PS beats Cattle Barons hands down.

Sept.2015, this is my second time at this Keg, I was here a year ago and enjoy the food and
services very much, so we return this time and the food and services is very good, next to
no one. I have to other Kegs and steak houses, but this one is by far the best in Calgary.
My thanks to the management, RJ

Checked this location out today. The parking lot fits more than the one on Macleod. The restaurant is beautiful and well taken care of. Our server Ashley was amazing and so sweet! The food was outstanding. I highly suggest the teriyaki steak!

Always a good experience here. I prefer the lounge at this location as I find the dining area a little stuffy and cramped. The lounge also seems to move a little quicker.
I’ve never had a bad meal and the staff have always been more than accommodating.

I ordered everything on the appetizer menu and nothing was disappointing. I have to say the shrimp was the best (cooked not cocktail) most of the dishes come in escargot dishes and it’s all amazing. The shrimp cocktail is traditional but the rest of them are all very flavorful and a little different but I suggest to try them all!

Always great!
I decided to try something new the lobster and shrimp salad. It was delicious. The lobster and shrimp were cold and ever so slightly bland but the flavours in the rest of the salad were outstanding.
Great wine too! The staff were super accommodating and helpful. Always a great experience.

My first time eating at a Keg restaurant. This was an experience worth repeating again and again. I had the mushroom and onion Manhattan. It was perfectly cooked. We even had dessert to share. It is super busy so make sure you go early or prepared to relax in the lobby while you wait.

My favorite Keg. Much much better than the one on 5^th St. The staff is great, the ambiance is great, and the prime rib is the best. This one is worth the wait and the money!

I always go to this Keg restaurant. Service and staff are wonderful. Food is fantastic. The inside and outside of the restaurant is very nice, has a cozy ambiance. Only problem is the parking outside, wish there was more. It’s a very busy and popular restaurant, parking is sometimes hard to find during dinner hours.

We have been to this location several times and it’s always fine. I wouldn’t normally choose a steak restaurant because I can make a decent steak at home but when we go it’s always ok. One thing that I have to say is that I won’t wait for 90 minutes for any restaurant, especially a 3 star restaurant. I haven’t had a bad meal that I can remember not they are not usually particularly memorable.

I eat here lots. always ordering the «filet mignon steak with garlic mash potatoes» hands down the best steaks around this is why I order it everytime!
great service. great location. great pricing considering its a filet mignon. my drink is always topped up I never have to hear that annoying last sip of a drink out of a straw. friendly environment. ALL AROUND GREAT PLACE TO EAT! 5 stars! *****

Delicious medium rare steak… finally a place willing to cook a steak properly… rare. In the US this is not always the rule.
Friendly place, big and not crowded at all for us at around 5:30 on a Thursday. kind of early I know but it was an after work thing.
Good beer selection. Service is fine but nothing special. Prices are high though, def. more expensive than what I was expecting.

This was the only Keg in Calgary we had yet to visit — so tonight was the night!
Of course at 7:15pm on a Friday night there was a wait, 20 min but we did not mind. A drink at the bar? Sure! We were waited on by a good looking twin of one of the Jersey Boys characters, tan, hair and all. He was very nice. Then on time or even before the 20 min mark, a hostess came over to get us and took us to our table.
I was surprised to see all the babies/​kids at this Keg but thankfully in our area, it was quiet enough and close to the fireplace!
We got a nice booth and were seated, our waiter was prompt and personable. We ordered and as always, the restaurant was kind enough to split my hubby’s Caesar salad with his Classic top sirloin meal. I love it when the plates are cold, the salad is cold and crisp and the Keg delivered on that tonight! The meals came, we both got 12oz steaks and hubby’s was massive. Either his was overweight or mine was underweight but at any rate I got the baseball sirloin which is always a hunk-​a-​meat treat. I ordered mine rare, was a little overdone but I was starving. No biggie.
The Keg staff at this location has great communication with each other. We had different people helping us provide cutlery, another for bread, another delivered our meals and it was all at a good pace — and the place was packed. A bar manager even came to our table at the end of the meal and welcomed us in for our first visit — nice! We felt appreciated and never rushed.
The washrooms at this location are quite nice and new looking. We were told the restaurant is 6 – 7 years old.
While it was not the best steak I have ever had at the Keg, the overall consistency was there and the star of the dish was the twice baked potato. SO good! Accompanied by the steaks were 4 sprigs of asparagus (a yummy surprise as it is now out of season and unavailable at the grocery stores) and some chunks of red pepper that added a little colour and pizzazz to the plates. We had to skip dessert, we were too full and we had to bring half our meals home. That sourdough bread is perhaps just too good and is a damn fine filler, served warm and fresh!
We would certainly come back to this location if we were back in that area.

After having terrible service in Kelowna at a local steakhouse, and a «The Keg» location in Kelowna, we stopped by the Keg off of 130^th.
The service was fantastic — we had drinks within 3 minutes of walking in. Our server was prompt with drinks, taking orders, and the food came quickly.
Well done. This is how a restaurant experience should be.

After reviewing the Talk threads where someone recommended the Keg for steak, I knew that a visit to Cow-​Town would not be complete without eating meat. And wow, they were so right!
I chose the New York Sirloin, which came as a complete meal. Starting with a wedge salad and blue cheese dressing (and blue cheese crumbles!), I cleared that plate. When the main arrived, it was a perfectly cooked medium rare and I think it might even have been a little overweight. Nicely charred on the outside and red warm in the center (see the picture), it included some grilled veggies too. The only bummer was that I was too stuffed from the salad (and a hunk of yummy bread) that half of it was wrapped up.
Trudy was a super server and did a fine job of taking care of me and my needs. Very friendly but not too much so.
This is a very «manly» restaurant with lots of dark wood and subdued lighting. I think it would be a perfect date night meal, if only Mrs. K. wasn’t 2000 miles away while I’m here in Calgary for work. :-(
It’s not cheap, but it is good. Well worth if for a splurge. No wifi.

Ask to sit in Angie’s area and you’ll be in for a great meal. Our drinks showed up quickly and were never empty and the tempura starter was great. Not too much batter and the veggies weren’t chewy.
The prime rib was perfectly done to order and the stuffed potato is a great twist on the old baked potato side. We’ll definitely be back.
