    The potato was a little over done and no veggies with the lobster. Lobster was as good as always but definitely the potato had been sitting around and not to tasty. Maybe we came too late our reservation was at 9.pm Last time I had a beautiful lobster, green beans and a perfect baked potato. I will definitely give them another try.. Everyone has an off day

    Loved this location. It's been a few years since we've eaten at The Keg and I have to say, this location is the best. We were greeted warmly and were given a few options where to sit. The outdoor patio was available so we chose that option. Lovely fireplace, great seating, service and ambiance. Just before 7 pm, they had live entertainment which we thoroughly enjoyed. We loved our meal and would definitely go back. In addition, we celebrated our anniversary and our server brought us a piece of the famous Billy Miner pie, it was delicious! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    This was my first experience here. We were able to get seats outside right away. Service was great! The food was amazing! I definitely recommend the twice baked potato as a side if you haven't already tried it! Took home a piece of cheesecake that was also so so good. I'd love to go back for more!

    Amazing ambiance, great for any date night, family outing, friends or work gathering! Absolutely terrific staff that go above and beyond, our server Dino was truly amazing for it being our first time at a Keg. The food was fantastic, it’s hard to find such well prepared meals. The Keg has out done themselves.

    Ive been to a few different kegs including the mansion in Toronto. The St. Catharines location is by far THE BEST KEG LOCATION!! The presentation of the food was outstanding!!!!! I've never has food plated so well before! We were in food heaven. I wasn't very hungry when I went so I thought I would have a few drinks and something small. I decided on the spicy chicken Nachos. OMG!! The flavor of the chicken was so good the presentation of the food was magnificent! I couldn't finish it all because there was so much. My partner had steak and every bite we took we were saying mmmmm. Every. Single. Bite! MMmmmmm! My daiquiris were so yummy! Staff was friendly and sever was great! Thanks again to the kitchen staff for the best meal ever!! Keep up the great work!

    Took myself and my girlfriend out for our one year anniversary. This place is amazing. The staff and service is truly amazing. Very attentive to detail and everyone that worked here seemed to enjoy working in the establishment. Lots of laughs and fun times. The food is amazing cooked perfectly, I had zero complaints. They even gave us a free desert without asking, it was a very nice surprise to celebrate our one year anniversary. I would recommend and come back in a heart beat.

    You can’t go wrong with the Keg. Great atmosphere, great food, and great service. I had the steak and shrimp myself, and both were delicious. Our server was the lovely Christina, and she was both efficient and friendly.

    The best food, and the best service. We had a bad experience at a Niagara keg and chose to try this one out last year. Boy were we happy we did! We came for our anniversary this year as well, and the food was just as decadent and service was just as amazing. The bread came out piping hot and beautifully crusty. The cheesy garlic toast was AMAZING! I was not expecting garlic bread to be so delicious, especially for how cheap it was. Prime was cooked to perfection, garlic mash was amazing as ever! The crispy onions and mushrooms were perfectly cooked, and of course the au jus was amazing. I wish I caught our servers name, but she was amazing and so friendly! Brought us out our billy miner pie and a to go container because we were so stuffed. She was so quick even though it was busy and she had lots of tables. I will always recommend this beautiful establishment and will continue to come back!

    This place is AMAZING!!! I've had steaks all over the world and outside of Japan.... This is a really close second. My steak was cooked to perfection, the lobster was fresh. Overall everyone enjoyed the experience and the desert (I think it's called The Keg) was light and fluffy. The establishment is family friendly and the price of dinner I would happily pay again for the experience.

    While the Keg isn’t the most amazing steakhouse you’ll find out there, the good thing is that the food at all locations is pretty consistent. If you’re looking for steak at an affordable price point you’ll have a good time here. After eating the free bread and appetizers I was already too stuffed to eat the Prime Rib haha. But the Prime Rib portion they give is humongous and I got a lobster tail on the side! The billy miner pie is also dangerously addicting

    Took my wife here for her birthday. To start off, the way they converted the old factory into a Keg was amazing. More places should do this instead of tearing down history for a block building. We were taken to our table on time with our reservation, waited on promptly and order take. Our waiter Trevor was very knowledgeable about the menu, but my wife and I had already decided on what we wanted before arriving. When the food came, it was hot, cooked to perfection and plenty of it. Trevor actually thought my wife’s steak was cooked to much and hit the manger to discount it. We had lots left and made a doggy bag for coir boxer, who always liked to partake in great food. We would definitely go back to this location again.

    Absolutely loved the food at this location. The host staff are fantastic, and food courses came out perfectly timed and extremely enjoyable. We enjoyed the melt in your mouth prime rib and the lobster tails. Add to that the incredible historic atmosphere of the former cotton mill with the original smoke stack. We will be back!

    Went to this location Aug 10, 2021. We didn’t have reservations but we’re able to get a seat at a high table. Service was outstanding. Food was amazing! I ordered cocktail shrimp, fillet mignon dinner w/ a lobster tail and a Billy Miner Pie. Fantastic! No complaints here. See my photos for pictures of the menu (with prices) as well as the food I ordered.

    Really nice Keg location. It’s spacious, and in a central location in St. Catharines. We went on a Monday and it was very busy. You might want to book a reservation during busy dining times. Food was nicely presented and tasty. Good portions and service as well. Nice restaurant for a slightly pricier date night. The strip loin is my fav!

    A wonderful night out at the Keg in St Catharines. This restaurant is located in a convenient commercial plaza, inside a historical landmark - The Cotton Mill building. Staff is very warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Service is excellent and fast, and food is delicious. Restaurant and guests follow proper COVID-19 safety measures, which makes us feel safe and enjoyable. Can't wait to go back soon! Highly recommended!

    It’s very rare that I will post a negative review, as I often feel like I am just complaining. However, my experience at The Keg in St.Catharine's last night is still running on my mind because I was so disappointed and also so confused. It truly goes to show just how many little things need to fall into place for an entire experience to be good. We were celebrating our anniversary so we decided to indulge with a visit to the Keg. Prices have skyrocketed but hey, it’s a special occasion. When we walked through the doors, we were greeted with friendly smiles, and seated right away for our reservation (even though we were early). Our server Marlene was an absolute gem. It is safe to say that she is the reason this review even gets stars. I ordered the blackened chicken and my hubby ordered the 18oz prime rib medium rare. When our food arrived I had two pieces of broccoli with beets, the broccoli was burnt. No joke, the pieces were brown, and not even a nicely pan fried brown. I asked Marlene if I could get new broccoli, she quickly apologized and took them back to the kitchen. She returns right away, with 4 pieces - COLD. Not even bothered to be reheated, just plated however they had it sitting around. Needless to say, the broccoli sat there untouched. My hubby’s first plate -that’s right you read correctly - FIRST plate when delivered, the server (not Marlene) dropped the onions strings onto the table and in my hubby’s lap. He didn’t even apologize, even as my hubby was picking them up with his hands and putting it back on the plate while the guy was still saying how hot the plate was. Next, he asked for a medium rare steak, and he definitely received rare, closer to bleu. He wouldn’t have minded except for the unbelievable amount of fat attached to the meat. As he was cutting away, his 18oz steak most definitely became 12oz (LOL). We apologized to Marlene and told her that it was made incorrectly, we also mentioned how all the seasoning was on the outside of the steak which is where all the fat is, once you cut away the fat, there’s no seasoning. She said not a problem, we will put a new one on for you. When the SECOND plate came out, brought out by the manager, he told us that they only season the outside of the steak and then cut slices of it. If we want the entire thing to be seasoned we just need to ask. Ummm pardon? In all my life, I have never had to go to a restaurant and ASK for my steak to be seasoned. Is this just me? Have I been doing it wrong this whole time? We didn’t appreciate that instead of just acknowledging that the steak was made incorrectly, it was almost made to be our fault for not ordering it properly. I guess I should have also asked for my broccoli to be warm and not cold? From there - it was downhill even further. There was more fat on this steak than meat, and let me be clear, there is nothing wrong with fat on a steak, it actually adds flavour, however we didn’t come to the Keg to eat an 18oz fat glob with a side of meat. We decided to get a box and take the remainder of the food home. We were never asked if we wanted any dessert; no menu even provided to us. We paid our bill and we left, my hubby had chicken nuggets on the way home. As I type this I am still in disbelief that this was our experience. Marlene - 100% customer service - girl deserves a raise, if not for her, we would have walked out. But hey… maybe we just expected too much for the price we were paying. Maybe the kitchen was having a bad night; but it’s too much money for us to just accept it as a “one off” IF we ever return, and that’s a huge IF, we will try and remember to ask for our veggies to be warm and our steak seasoned, that might make the experience better next time.

    We came for dinner and the experience was amazing. Our server Alyaah (sorry if I mispelled) was awesome and she’s very welcoming and warm to us when she finds out it’s our first time visit. The dessert is big and 2 can share. Love the ambience and food. Next time we will make reservation for sure

    while the staff are friendly and a great atmosphere.... the food is kind of disappointing. I ordered the steak and seafood,the steak was perfect, the seafood not so much. Shame on the Keg, it used to be so good here.... the food standard isn't there anymore.... you can't steam shrimp and scallops.....it should be grilled.... short cut leads to disappointing outcome, it didn't even taste like seafood. The grilled vegetables undercooked. The peppers still had seeds in it, lazy short cuts. Head office should get involved with setting standards and maintaining them. The Keg used to be a decent high end steak place, now it's sub par to the other steak houses.

    First time going to the Keg and Sacha made the evening awesome! Our food was all cooked perfectly and the Watermelon cosmo was great. There’s many other restaurants for steak but our server Sacha put you a level above the competition.

  • 2/5 Ferdy S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a disappointment to me. The staff are not so friendly. They don't have patience to explain what's going on. I ordered a 12oz steak and some appetizers for pick up because there was no dine-in during that time. I was told to wait 30 minutes at the parking which is ok to me. At 30 minutes, I followed up, the girl on the phone did not sound friendly. She said drive up by the front and they will bring it outside. But another 15 minutes went by, I called again to follow up. I told her it's almost 45 minutes, she said they will bring it outside but she raised her voice - "We're busy and it's not that we're not doing nothing here". She could have explained in a nicer way. I also asked for utensils because it's a take out order, the girl said yes it will be included. Alas, at the hotel room, there were no utensils! We have to eat the steak, salad and appetizer by hand. Good thing, the hotel front desk sent us utensils when I asked them if they have any. In fairness, the steak was perfect, but the crunchy fried cauliflower was saggy. 2 orders of calamari, almost half of it was filters, jalapenos and Bell peppers. I would say, find other The Keg locations if you could.

    Stopped here to eat back in February 2018 during the winter as we were on our way home and it was a cozy keg to go to. The ghost stories always fascinate me! One of the best reasons to visit a Keg with history! We had the steaks, lobster, escargot, and pie. Definitely a place to come back to!

    If you're looking for a delicious steak dinner and outstanding service, look no further than Keg Steakhouse! The staff are friendly and the garlic butter bread is a nice touch. The steak was cooked perfectly and the birthday celebration was a lot of fun. The Billy Miner pie is an incredible dessert-you won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Thomas T. 2 years ago on Google
    Prime rib could have been thicker and juicier, for price paid. Otherwise food was good. The service however was stellar! We were placed at the bar due to overload Carly who was behind the bar waited on us, what a server, gave us was fantastic! She saw our needs were met. Best server bar none:) that I have experienced in a long time! She almost made the less than stellar prime rib worth it!. Not only did she served us we'll. I observed every one at that bar got the same treatment!

  • 4/5 Bridgetta W. 2 years ago on Google
    I always enjoy my experience at this location and the two times I’ve been frequently the service has been great- as expected, the host was especially friendly and remembered it was my birthday even in the way out. The previous time we went a steak was undercooked and they fixed it promptly, this time one of our steaks was over cooked but we didn’t mention it - though I have no doubts it would have been rectified. Overall I would recommend

  • 5/5 Diamonds A. 9 months ago on Google
    We celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, and had the best dinner, and service we've ever had at any restaurant. This was our first time at this location, and it had perfect ambiance, the food was delicious, and our server Dino was fantastic! He has very high attention to detail, explained everything, took interest in our celebration, and even sent us off with a delicious dessert! The BEST dining experience ever!

    Cool old limestone building that use to be a rubber shoe factory. Service was awesome. Food was delicious. Can't wait to go back.

    After not being all together as a family (mom, dad, and 4 siblings) in over 6 years we decided to gather together as a family for Thanksgiving this year. Coming all the way from Edmonton and as part of our hanging out and adventure time, we decided to make The Keg a stop in our itinerary. From the hostess calling us back and helping us get a table in the lounge, to the super friendly hostesses when we walked in, to the floor manager checking in on us, we felt super taken care of. However, our night wouldn’t have been complete without the amazing service and hospitality from Bailey. She was patient with our indecisiveness and also knowledgeable to be able to offer options. She was present enough to make sure we were being fully taken care of, but also absent enough to let us eat and reconnect with each other. A very healthy balance. She was amazing! For anyone looking for superb customer service I highly recommend this Keg and definitely ask for Bailey!

    We had a great experience! The hand carved prime rib was perfect. The garlic mashed potatoes were tasty. The lobster was great. They even surprised us with dessert when they heard it was our first time here. We felt so special! Thanks again :)
