Food has always been good at this location, including takeout. Servers and hostesses have been friendly and inviting and provide great service. The restaurant ambiance is classic Keg steakhouse, great for all occasions. read more

The keg always seems quite busy. It is moderately loud, but not unbearable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Since we are here, we're having steak, even though it is during lobster summer. The steaks were perfect and I am taking half home for my lunch tomorrow to make people at work jealous. If they could just send their steak knives out to be sharpened on occasion, as tender as the steaks are, you wouldn't have to fight with cutting your meat. The last time we were here, it was the same knives. The waiter said it is just what they had. I want to give five stars but the cutlery drives me crazy. Don't hesitate to dine here. read more

Excellent service! Excellent meal! Taren, one of the managers, is always next level to help us out and greet us warmly. Warm bread, prime rib and filet mignon with Béarnaise! Thank you Keg 130th! You know we will be back! Table 110. read more

We eat at the keg once a year and every year it is for our anniversary! I have tried almost everything on the menu but my husband always gets the same thing- the keg classic steak with Cesar salad to start. Usually we get the keg Cesar to drink but they had new alcoholic summer beverages that I wanted to try so I got the lavender one ... it wasn't that great. I probably wouldn't recommend it but the food was great as always! read more

Steakhouse in Calgary which my family has talked about for a while. Finally went but didn't order steak. Instead, i went with the salmon. I'm glad i did as the pistachio salmon was so juicy and tender. Everyone else ordered steak, either prime rib or sirloin, everyone enjoyed their meal. All steaks were made according to their request and all dishes came with the option of mashed potatoes or baked potato. For appetizer, we ordered the calamari, which was fried just right leaving the calamari soft but chewy. Of course, after the entree, we had to try their dessert. Billy miner pie and creme brulee. Can't go wrong with either option. The Billy Miner pie is quite big so be prepared to share this. read more

Ahhh the Keg, a reliable stand by in our rotation. Went for an early dinner, no menu required although we always look. Service is really nice, professional and unobtrusive. We ordered mushrooms Neptune, because I can't not, French onion soup and for dinner a couple Classics. All very good. I would say both our steaks were definitely under this time but I'd rather under than over. it works out ok as we take home the leftovers and allows us to reheat better. I'm always afraid to send food back to the kitchen.... Best or worst kitchen I just don't do it unless it's cold soup lol. Overall very good, we will go back of course . We left very satisfied and the candies ...hook, line and sinker . read more

The food and service is always great! The only place where I know when I come into town and get a great steak! Alberta beef is the only way to go!! read more

We had a very nice meal. The teriyaki steak was great. The sirloin was great. The roast beef was a large piece and very good. We had two birthdays and they provided two pieces of desert complementary . Service great waiter very good. All was enjoyed by all, Just getting a little costly. Dinner for 4 was 200.00 no drinks. read more

I went there last night. Our waitress brought 1 appetizer when we specifically ordered 2. We waited 40 min for our meal. Salt and pepper was delivered to our table 15 min after our food arrived. I haven't been to the Keg in a while. The loaded potatoe was dry and had fake bacon bits on it.. the broccoli was tasteless. Service was terrible. For a meal ticket of $150.. I expected better service. Prompt arrival of food.. real bacon bits, flavorful food, and salt and pepper. We each had 1 drink.. 2 of us. I won't be going to the Keg for a very ongoing time.. tasty food is at many restaurants for less money read more

Being the Keg, I thought it would be an excellent choice for my husband's birthday. Unfortunately I couldn't find an allergy menu on line, but I thought the keg would be a safe bet. I was wrong. My husband has an allergy to soy, and I was surprised that almost everything on the menu contained soy, including the steak. The bread, soy, the butter, was a butter margarine mix, which contains soy. I was completely surprised. However the staff did try to accommodate him, but in the end he ended up with just a plate of vegetables, and a steak that they had to dig out the freezer, and cook for him. It was ok , but not worth the money. My advice to anyone with food allergies, to not make the same mistake I made, and call ahead. If you have a soy allergy, do not eat here. read more

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. read more

the rather large individual height wise with a very oval face shape and curly hair left me a special surprise in my meal! (it was lice and dandruff or flaky salt i couldn't tell but it tasted funky) i do not recommend!!!!!!!!! read more

Never had a bad steak here, and if something isn't right with your order they will fix the problem

Great food and excellent service! I highly recommend for both small and large parties.

Cleaned up review !! What a difference a year and a half staying away from local favorite can make. My favorite staff are all here and the menu elevated. Thank you Don read more

Poorly cooked food. Tried it twice & there are better places by far in Calgary. Just tough

Haven't ate out in forever ordered food for pick up the hostess wasn't all that pleasant and the food was a bit to much on the salty side and was late which made the cheese bread a bit wet but it was ok but maybe I am just jaded for being home so long haha! read more

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. read more

Steak. Mm steak. What can be said about The Keg Steakhouse & Bar that hasn't been?? Quite a bit. First off location is great and serves SE Calgary. Second service is one of the best in town. The dining area is large at this location and occupies about 2/3 of the building with the remaining for the bar side (which does serve full menu). Menu has changed looked wise but all the favourites still here including the Keg Classic dinners. Escargot to calamari are great appetizers. Free bread as well. The filet and NY Strip are my choices for entrees. Dessert is great and the Billy Miner was delicious. Overall great value for money and service is second to none. For all ages. read more

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Parking: 5/5 Kitchen Speed: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4/5 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. read more

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. read more

Nice meal and service is always top notch ! Steak is done just like how you ask. Dessert and wine and it's a great night out to celebrate an occasion or treat yourself! read more

I had not been to a Keg anywhere for about 25+ years, and kinda hankered for some good red meat. Back then when still a newer concept, the meal had been substantial and well-flavoured. Even so, we went here because it was mid-afternoon and the Brazilian and other steak places weren't open until 5pm. Overall a good meal, but fell short on a few things. My wife had average-tasting ribs with fries and chopped salad/cole slaw: her meal overall was an only average 3-stars. I had prime rib with stuffed potato and veggies: the prime rib was excellent, nicely cooked and tender; the stuffed potato a real winner (!) and the accompanying red peppers were good; the green beans were skinny and hardly tasted them (overall 4.25). The small glass of Californian cab we shared was great as a chaser, and helped accent the red meat (4). The large breadroll we shared was quite wonderful: the super-soft flaky interior well complemented by real whipped butter. So nice! (4.5) Service was very good, but as usual the setting was darker than seems suitable on a bright warm afternoon. Getting there is a bit of a puzzle re. all the dumb rule-bound city lanes and barred-street entrances, as The Keg is right beside the road: so takes lotsa patience for the pretzel maneuvers needed before finally parking your vehicle outside their door. Duh! If you've not done the Keg before, check it out. Their prime rib has always been their thing, and you likely won't be disappointed. I'd suggest you pass on the barely-passable ribs and get a thick steak instead? And, as they are no better than McDo's, skip the fries: replace them with the mashed, stuffed or baked potato. Not do red meat very often, but was worth it. read more

Best restaurant in Calgary! I would go everyday if I could! Great steak great sides great deserts awesome drinks

I only and ever order the cheesy bread toast which I recommend if you are a cheese lover such as myself because of its perfect crunch and chewyness of the baguette and seasoning they put on it is like crack however sometimes it's a bit salty. I would also recommend getting anything with their super creamy mash potatoes!!! And a side of their sautéed baby mushrooms. read more

I took a group of ten here on a Thursday night. Lots of recommendations and we were all ready for some beef! The service was prompt, friendly and on point with timing and accuracy of the courses. Salads were excellent with special comments on the wedge salad. There were some nice and affordable wine choices and we had several bottles. Everyone ordered prime rib or some type of steak. I asked if the steak temps ran true and was assumed they did. This is the only negative part of our meal. All the steaks were slightly overdone to what we ordered. One of our diners asked for medium rare and it was more medium. I asked for Rare "plus" and it was a perfect medium rare. Saving the steaks was the taste. All were very tasty. The prime Ribs however were excellent according to everyone that had them. Positive comments on the sides also as the plates were cleaned! Only one person had dessert and it was crème brûlée. Good, but typical. So, overall, a very good meal at a affordable price. But I have to reduce a star because a steak focused restaurant should be absolutely locked in on correct temps for the star of the menu. Will give them another try for sure. read more

Consistently great food, can't really beat their steaks! The sourdough bread is a winner with my family and the sides are always fresh and tasty as well. Staff are helpful, knowledgable and the service is usually quite fast. read more

After having terrible service in Kelowna at a local steakhouse, and a "The Keg" location in Kelowna, we stopped by the Keg off of 130th. 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. read more

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!! ***** read more

I've been to a number of Kegs across the country and every time I leave satisfied. They know where to find the best beef and they know how to cook it. When I was at this location, an intoxicated man met me outside for a smoke and told me he had been there since 5 pm (it was now 11:30) and that he loved the place "so much" and that I probably never go there myself. But that's okay, he assured me, because he had a lot of money and well, he could eat steak and drink there all night if he wanted. Which he did and proceeded to throw up all over the entrance way. I didn't hold that against the place, though. Because the ribeye was one of the best I've ever had. The servers were all great and it was a magical night, all in all. read more

Typically when I come to this resturaunt I order the French onion soup as my main course. It comes fresh out of the oven, and tastes quite good. I would highly recommend the teriyaki sirloin, as it also tastes quite good, and is a nice tender steak. The only reason I left out the fifth star is because when one of my family members ordered the "supreme chicken breast", it came out rather dry and over cooked. They did replace the meal and remove it from the bill, so I can't complain too much here. Nothing beats a free meal at a resturaunt, especially one with superior (as in more expennsive) prices compared to a lot of other establishments out there. I must say though, the second time around tasted quite better than the first, but it should have been done right in the first place for a restaurant that has high standards. The overall meal was good, and I will be coming back in the near future. read more

So again, me and my guy went for dinner last night (we go out a lot apparently!) and this time we went to the Keg. Yum!!! The wait was only 15 minutes which was great for a Sunday night. We were seated promptly and our waiter came along quickly. First regardless of the food, I have to talk about a drink. I discovered the mudslide two weeks ago when I was at the keg, but I'm telling you, this is like dessert in a glass!!! it's chocolately and so yummy. Almost like a milkshake! Sooo good :) Their daquiris are pretty good too but nothing beats The Cattle Baron for that! We skipped appetizers which was good because I wasn't starving. We took forever to order like usual and ended up having steak (shocker..) I had the Steak Oscar which is what I had last time except with chicken. It was sooooo yummy. The Bearnaise sauce is so delicious and the scallops are unbelievably rich. I always order mashed potatoes because they are my favorite :) The Keg was very accommodating and made my date's dish substituting steak for chicken. He had the steak creole. The waiter said that people always request this so they should just add it to the menu. He seemed to enjoy it because he ate it all and i took half mine home. For dessert I attempted to eat my creme brulee but this thing was fricken huge!! Who can even digest all that custard???? Overall The Keg is always an enjoyable experience and I always look forward to going back. read more

This Keg location is always quite busy, we went on a Sunday evening and weren't expecting to wait but the restaurant was very full when we went in. The hostess was courteous and let us know it was about a 20 minute wait, it ended up being shorter than that and we were quickly escorted to our table. Our server was friendly and welcoming, she made sure we had everything we needed and that we were well taken care of during the evening. We shared the garlic shrimp appetizer and both had the steak special of the evening that had a cajun seasoning with veggies on top of it. The food was cooked to our specifications, tasty and came out in a timely manner. We've visited this located several times and the service is consistently strong. read more

We haven't been here in a while. There was 6 of us in our party tonight so we made reservations. We had to wait a little while for our table, which was fine. But we were so impressed with the manager and I believe head chef, who were very gracious and offered us a few comps. Our meals were delicious, well prepared. read more

We've been fans of the Keg for a long time. You can count on a great atmosphere and great food. That said, great food and atmosphere means nothing if the service sucks. We've been to the Keg before however this was our first visit to the Keg's South Pointe location. The Keg doesn't accept reservations on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturday nights so we arrived at 5:30pm and luckily we did - we were told it would be a 30 minute wait... no big deal, there was room in the bar to sit and enjoy a drink with each other. As an added feature, they've got a number of 40" TVs easily seen from anywhere in the bar - tonight, it happened to be the Leafs hosting the Penguins - 1 nothing Leafs. 40 minutes in the bar later, our table was ready and off we went. Leafs and Penguins tied at 1 - not that I was watching or anything. From the moment we sat down in our seats, looking forward to our dinner, the moment we left, the service was excellent. Our server's name was Angie. Very well spoken, highlighted some of their menu options and specials and simply took great care of us. As for the food, we've never had a bad meal at the Keg and today was no exception - you get exactly what you expect. Great food. So why four stars and not five? Because I'm selfish. Because I wish we could make dinner reservations. Have a great night at the Keg and ask to be seated in Angie's section - you wont be disappointed. read more
