Great food and fantastic service! The gumbo is the best ever! You can tell the high quality of this restaurant by its packed parking lot! Bob read more

I'm in town for work and stopped by at the suggestion of a friend. It was fairly crowded when I arrived. The bar too was empty, so I sat there. The bartender was friendly and talkative. I ordered the Fried Alligator Tail. It comes with their homemade Remoulade and a Honey BBQ. It was fried perfect. Crispy on outside with tender meat on the inside. The Remoulade was great. I didn't care for the Honey BBQ. They have several TV's and they put the UK basketball game on for me at the bar TV. They have a decent beer selection and a full bar. read more

We come to Murray to visit my wife's family and decided to try The Keg. It seems like they've got some Louisiana influence, which caught my attention since I'm from there. I didn't try those dishes this time, but I probably will next visit. We started with the cheese coins. The pepper jack was a great choice and definitely worth it. My wife got the fried gulf shrimp. The shrimp had a great crunch and were done well. The onion rings and fries felt like an afterthought though--the onion rings were pretty soggy. I had the Mac Lovin burger. Overall, it was good. The BBQ sauce was a highlight, just wish there was more of it. The burger itself was under-seasoned. The sweet corn nuggets were excellent and my favorite part of the plate. Overall, we had a good experience and I'd give it another shot. read more

Top 10 Restaurant / Bar in Western Kentucky. Great Drinks, service with a smile and fresh protein. Live Music on occasion, always college and or professional sports on many TV's. Did I mention their menu, very broad, don't quote me, but, Frog Legs to Crab Legs, Local Beef, Great BBQ, smoky and perfect bark. Seafoods to Sandwiches, Salads and always Fresh Vegetables. I honestly can't comment on their deserts, due to their great meals and large portions. My preferred deserts are usually Aperitif cocktails, or Small Batch Bourbons, this is Bourbon Country. Cocktails, Shots or just large quantities of adult beverages. Always great, always an event! Thank You Keg for your reliability and consistency. read more

We are from the Midwest and down here to pack up family and move them home. Stopped in for some good southern food and this hit the spot. The food was soooo good. Service was great, wish I had that southern accent! The only bummer part, they sell their spices and sauces and unfortunately what we wanted they were out of. read more

Food was great and fairly quick. I had the Blackened Red Fish, Greens and Autumn Berry Salad. The fish had a nice crisp on the edges, but nice and flaky. Nice flavor, but not spicy. The greens had great flavor and chopped finely. The salad was sweet and a nice offset to the savory fish and greens. Others in my party had the gumbo, salmon, jambalaya, steak and BBQ and everything was delicious. read more

I seek out local restaurants when I'm traveling and I really enjoyed The Keg! While I had a little trouble deciding what to order, I went with the Cajun sampler. It was a great choice! The andouille sausage and boiled and grilled shrimp was on point. The gumbo was hitting! read more

We found ourselves in Murray last night, #1 on the list of dinner restaurants is The Keg, so that's where we headed. This is a restaurant built for crowds, and you can tell this by the pace of all the servers that they are taking care of business! Our server was so accommodating and sweet. I discovered that I don't care much for Abita beer, but the Murray Slurry was delicious and strong. We waited a full 40 minutes after ordering our food until it came, which I think is just inexcusable. We were told there was a reunion party of 70 in the adjoining room. Despite this, the food was delicious when it finally came. I had the blackened catfish with cheese grits and it was divine. 3 stars for the wait on the food. read more

Good food, uncle made us try the fried alligator, kinda tasted like chicken... didn't feel like chicken. Definitely wish the chunks were smaller. Pulled pork was just okay. Didn't come with a sandwich bun like I thought it would, came with a small extremely stale 2 inch piece of bread. Mac and cheese was okay, noodles were undercooked. The Asparagus was great. I'd definitely like to try it again, maybe not a Friday night at 5pm would be better. (They were definitely slammed) The paintings in the bathroom were pretty cool, and clean. The server was nice. read more

Counter help and waitresses weren't really friendly. Food was pretty good. It had been sitting a while. I would get good to go from here.

Just didn't like the seafood, coming from the south I have high expectations. The staff was wonderful and the fried green beans were great! Next time I will try something different. read more

Great local place in Murray KY. Great vibe! Great food. Great service. They are very busy on weekends so recommend calling for reservations. I got the peel and eat shrimp which was great considering we were so far from the coast. I had the rice and beans too. My husband had their Alfredo which was a bot too spicy for me but he loved the queso dip was the best!! Nice stop near murray state university read more

The drinks were flavorful. The food was great portions and fresh. The menu was well thought out and had fantastic seasonal options.

The food is amazing and their Cajun is amazing- I recommend the boiled shrimp. The service is great and I only ever have to wait long if I am with a big party. I love their decor and they definitely lean into the bayou theme with the decor and theming. read more

This was the first time we had eaten there. My son was wanting to go there. Thankfully we did and it was outstanding. Service was great we had 5 different orders and all were great. We are trying to plant bother trip soon!!!! read more

If I could rate it s 6 I would. Food out of this world! Best cajun food I've had s8nce leaving NOLA. Everything we ordered was wonderful.

Have eaten here before. Stopped in at lunch and actually arrived before they opened. waited 5 minutes for the doors to open at 11. By time they unlocked the door, got out the vehicle, there was already about 15 people moving for the door. We were promptly seated, drink order taken. One of our party was running late, so we ordered crawfish bread appetizer. Outstanding! ( wife and I both lived in MS/LA, so we know Cajun food). I am not sure who our waitress was, as there was probably 5 different ladies stopping by to ask if we were ready to order. Once our late guest arrived, we placed order. We ordered, gumbo, Cuban sandwich and brisket sandwich. Everything was good, and multiple waitress checked to see if we needed anything, were prompt to refill glasses. A great lunch all the way around. There were many choices on menu, that makes it tough to choose. In the multiple times I have eaten here. I have never received anything I was not happy with. read more

We arrived in Murray last night, had dinner at The Keg and loved it so much we had lunch today! Every food and drink item we ordered was delicious: cheese coins (fried pepper jack cheese nuggets), jambalaya, fried green tomatoes and shrimp, pulled pork, shrimp po'boy, gumbo and BEIGNET STICKS! Honestly, I can't say enough about the service and food! What a lovely place to eat!! If we return to Murray, we will 100% eat here! read more

The Keg catered my cousins wedding. I am not from the area and was blown away with how wonderful the Beef and the mashed potatoes were at the wedding. So much so, my husband even begged for me to figure out how to make it. I did reach out to the company and told them just how amazing it was, how it blew me away for food at a wedding, I spoke with Darren, who is the sweetest, kindest soul around. I have not eaten at their restaurant, however, I can speak for some of their catering...If they are catering, i am sure it will be amazing!!! P.S. the brown sauce for the steak bites...is not needed, the beef has extraordinary flavor, tender, melts in your mouth AH-MAZ-ING!!! read more

This was my first time eating here and the service and food was so good. I would recommend this place to everyone. I will definitely be going back. The Moscow Mule was ON POINT, and one of the best Philly Cheese Steaks ever!!!! read more

I travel to New Orleans often, and every time I go I eat my weight in the food down there. Until now, I had never found a place that satisfied my craving. When we came to Murray for my daughter's orientation, it was HIGHLY recommended by students and locals alike, so we tried it. OH. MY. GAWD. I told my kid I hopes she likes my face, cause I'm coming for the food alone. Excellent food. Super nice staff, crawfish poboy was SO GOOD, serving size is ginormous, and the DRINKS?! Add the ambiance of this place (honey bar and grill with great decorations) and you can't lose with this place. read more

We visited from Michigan and had a great experience. The service was great and our waitresses were so very kind. I had the burger that had macaroni on it and it was great. I just wish they serve the macaroni as an actual entree. The mac was soooo delicious and some of the best I have had! I think it would do well on the menu! My boyfriend had a shrimp po boy with gumbo and really enjoyed it. The po boy was a great size, and the burger was too. The mashed potatoes rocked with brown gravy! Loved the gravy. The vibes were southern which we loved coming from the north! The wooden ambiance is cozy. Overall a great place for lunch or dinner! read more

I stay out of town at least once a week for work and this is my only go-to for food. Love the atmosphere, the food is amazing and the beer is cold. One issue I have is the to-go orders have been lacking. The food is great but, they ALWAYS forget the additional components of the dish. Take for example the Pork Belly Tacos : Supposed to come with coleslaw; nope. The 19.99 Mahi Mahi fish tacos; Supposed to come with Lettuce, Shredded Cheese, Cajun caviar, Remoulade... all on the side - nope. Kinda makes the meal (and the money I spent) kinda wasteful. The place is great just make sure you check everything before you leave Hope this saves someone a headache. I won't stop going here.. I love this place. read more

The Keg has yummy food. Service can be slow if they are busy. Hours are not the best. Why close at 10pm on weekends? It would be nice if they were open till 11pm, especially when football games go so late at MSU. The food is expensive. Many students don't eat here unless they have family paying the bill. We enjoy the seafood dishes and fried okra. Kids love the white cheddar Mac and cheese. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Murray. They have an extensive menu, and I've yet to go wrong with anything I've ever ordered which is impressive. Always had fantastic service, too. We are lucky to have The Keg in Murray! read more

First time to Murray. The Keg came highly recommended. The menu has everything. I was a little overwhelmed by all the great choices. Decided on the Cajun Sampler. Boy was it delicious.

Big disappointment. We went out of our way to stop here while traveling because we have always had good meals there before. This time not so. My turkey was thin slices of a turkey roll. The green beans were not good. Room was VERY cold and NOISY. Probably won't go out of our way any more in the future. read more
