Keg Steakhouse & Bar

As far as Kegs are concerned, they are usually consistent. I’m not always crazy about chains but I do enjoy the Keg as they have a system that works. I usually go for dinner as I am working during the day. On my last visit to the Keg I started with the escargot. It was served hot! I thought though it was smothered in butter which was not necessary. But overall good and reasonably priced @ $ 13.
For my entrée I chose the 7oz prime rib med rare. It was moderately priced at $ 30… Although, I do believe they have raised their prices recently. It arrived med rare and was well timed. I didn’t feel as though I was being rushed. Just a note that their bread is complimentary when you order an entrée but if you choose to sit in the lounge remember to ask for it as they sometimes neglect to bring it. Wine Is a bit higher priced than most places @ about $ 7 – 11.50 pr glass. Overall, the servers are attentive and consistent. If you are looking for steak you probably won’t be disappointed with the Keg!

I had a lite lunch here; it was just an average lunch. It may have been a different experience had I ordered a steak.

Firstly food is always good, however as a guy who travels for a living the interaction with the staff. Well… Not so good. BS smiles and rehearsed retorts to questions. This place has NO personality. My 3^rd try in 6 months here as I stay at FT. Garry hotel. Overall disappointed with servers in general, lost talents of how to be outstanding. Sorry Keg… My server would rather hang out inside as opposed to any decent higher end place with a person sitting alone making conversation and at at least… Fake that we «Keg» care. Not here.
Must add the young hostess… Outstanding, dark hair missed her name. Very nice.

Very good steak and lobster. Really enjoyed the dessert afterwords. The service was great as usual.

We had a lovely dinner with great cocktails and delicious food. My filet was perfectly cooked. The appetizers were great too. Everyone in our party was satisfied. The staff was friendly and helpful as well.

I went here with my wife for March 14^th (aka Manventine’s Day, S&B Day, Valentine’s for Men) and we had a delicious dinner.
The Keg is always consistent and a good value. There are other places that have higher prices but I don’t think that they can claim their higher price of admission really translates to a higher quality of meal.
They were understanding about my wife’s request about gluten free items and provided us with an excellent celebratory meal.

My husband and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. My steak was cooked to perfection. Our server was polite and kept on checking with us.

Steaks
I hit the Keg Steakhouse after noticing it was in walking distance to my hotel– and was glad I did.
The place has a nice vibe to it– on the dark side with a raised bar area — I only sat in the bar area — grabbed a seat at the bar and got a nice glass of wine.
In addition to the nice looking place, the wait staff is dressed very nicely — I liked the look of the waitresses and wish that the States had more of a dress code for the wait staff — it just bumps the whole thing up a notch.
The bartender knew his wines and had me going with my first glass in no time. I grabbed a menu after settling in and ordered up a Bleu Cheese Filet — which is filet mignon with a bleu cheese cap — perfect.
The steak came out perfectly cooked and paired with my glass of wine, I was a happy camper. Entrée came with roasted garlic mash and a very good selection of veggies– not just the usual suspects you get all over the planet.
Apparently there are a lot of these places scattered around Canada — so give it a shot if one happens to be near you.
Parking on the street I believe. I walked over so not totally sure if they had a lot.

There’s nothing I can add about The Keg that hasn’t been said before. First class service, generous portions, and steak cooked to perfection!!!
Try the Billy Miner Pie — do yourself a favour…

In terms of the Kegs, I am okay with them for dinner because if you’re with friends and you want steak, it’s not so pricey that it can be a choice. And when you’re going with family, you can easily take kids there without feeling out of place. But for lunch, I have to say their menu is quite lacking. You’re either going to spend $ 12 for burgers or sandwiches or $ 20 for some steak related entrée. There’s really nothing in between that’s interesting in terms of choice or price point.
I went with their prime rib burger which is topped with lettuce, tomato, pickle, red onion, and mayo. I added bacon and chose the side caesar salad. It was close to about $ 13. I was quite disappointed with their burger considering that this is a meat place… the patty was not freshly ground but tasted like the processed frozen patties you buy at the grocery store. I think you can even buy the Keg burger patties in the frozen aisle. The burger was quite greasy and a tad salty from the Keg spice they used. I guess I should’ve asked if it was a freshly made burger but I didn’t. Oh well, it wasn’t that pricey. Otherwise, their dinner steak meals here are fine so I’d come back for that but not for lunch. Though I have to commend them on their ultra fast lunch service. Everything was timed perfectly and my group was out of there within the hour on a Friday lunch — very impressive. Our server was professional, prompt and had a great sense of humour.

As a former Texan, I am particular about my steakhouses. I found the Keg to be good. The Prime Rib was quite tasty and the beer selection was pretty varied. I ate there on a week night and the place wasn’t very busy but I got the impression that it picks up a bit on the weekends. Overall, a good steak at a reasonable price and the wait staff is attentive without being ever present. If you want a good steak in Winnipeg, I would suggest The Keg.

We go to The Keg a few times a year. I always have the Prime Rib as it’s the most tender cut. I’ve had it cooked medium, medium-​well and well-​done. The welldone was tender, but I’ll stick with the medium doneness. The only thing I don’t lke that the serve with the Prime Rib is those deep-​fried onions! I love onions but not the way they serve it, next time I’ll ask them to leave them out. Sometimes I have a specail Keg coffee as a dessert. My boyfriend also likes the hostesses, they look like they are from Robert Palmer videos!

Most recently i had the top sirloin with a cognac brie sauce. It was yum yum.
The mixed drinks are weak but the beer selection is doable.
If you like steak, come here. If you are looking for more selection, go somewhere else.
And of course the waitresses are nice to look at.
