Well i must say everything was actually great, except the steaks. the service, the selection and the drinks were all good. The steaks were just very slightly overcooked or undercooked I couldn't really figure out, but given that their whole thing is steaks it matters but it wasn't bad in any way. But I would say that the escargot was excellent haven't had it better anywhere.

We always order peppercorn New York steak and lobster 🦞 🥩. The staffs are great. We love the brownies but they removed it from the menu 🥲.

The keg never disappoints. I ordered a chagigo charred, blue steak just to see what they'd do. And it was very good. I know this isn't a normal order, but I was curious. My point is they really tried. I've been here quite a few times and have never had any issues. I'm lacking in the photos because it was eaten right away. Whiskey sours are on point as well. If I'm being picky, the atmosphere seems dated. Otherwise, it was a great visit.

★★★

Not the nicest looking keg. Kind of ghetto versus the ones in Toronto, but the food and service were mostly on point. Prime rib not as good as what I’ve had at other Kegs. Could be a little drier than usual. You can see in the pic. Tasted off around the edges Maybe due to lack of volume as it is quite slow in there. Typically Keg is packed in other provinces. Still overall a fine experience. Waitress super kind.

Our table was ready on time. Service through from Chelsea was superb, warm, accommodating, attentive. All food was excellent. Both Cobb salad and Caesar salad were among the best we have had and generous, served in nicely chilled plates. New York strip steak and prime rib mains were excellent, fresh, perfectly cooked, great sides, all served on nicely warmed plates. Tip top all round.

June 2023: awesome service by Franco. As always food was delicious. This time we had calamari, scallops & bacon, shrimp cocktail, escargot, and prime rib. The bacon could have been cooked more but the scallops were done perfectly. We visited for Valentine’s Day 2023 and the prime rib, filet, and lobster were all delicious. Our server was exceptional and very funny too. What a great night! 2022: Great food, perfect service by Katie. We sat on the lounge side and it was cozy. Apps were shrimp cocktail - love the presentation in a martini glass, mushrooms Neptune, prime rib with garlic mash, and sirloin with lobster tail. The veggies I got as my side were so fresh and flavourful. Everything was cooked perfectly.

Great service. Nice atmosphere. Food was great! Service was fast and our server Sarah was amazing! My husband has a shellfish allergy and we informed the server. After that we had a manager approach to heck in and ensure the details of the allergy. She assured us our concerns would be well taken care of. Absolutely professional, attention to detail, fabulous!

Three strikes I have been here three times in the last 4 months and every time I get the end of the prime rib. It s dry over cooked and just plain not good at all. The times I have been here are during peek dinner hours. This will be my last for the keg Halifax.

Ask to be seated in Andrew s area. Without question he is the best server in Halifax. The Keg is consistent, you will never get a bad meal and you will always leave too full. Also, they have a fantastic by the glass wine menu.

The food was overpriced and mediocre at best The drinks were far from great the beer wasnt cold, and the cocktails were very poorly made.

★★
September 22, 2024

I have always had good experience at the KEG at several locations but this peppercorn NY sirloin was a salty scorched tasteless slab that was over cooked. Calamari was blah. Server was great but can t get past the mediocre costly meal. Appreciated the complementary birthday Billy Miner pie. Time for the Halifax KEG to brighten up the interior with a few windows and new lighting as it s like eating in the basement.

August 22, 2024

The chef is nothing more than a cook. No clue what they are doing . Simplest foods over cooked!! Steak dry and burnt , burgers tasteless and also burnt .

Clean, very clean...newly renovated, the toilet is clean, the napkins are soft (they don t skimp). The service is excellent (advised, prompted, good-natured staff, smiling), there are no foreign odors in the room, the order was brought quickly, the steak was cooked as required, the meat was juicy, moderately salted (New York steak) so far this is the best restaurant and steak ( which I tried in Halifax) Affordable prices. Well done!

Very enjoyable dinner. The steaks were wonderful. I had the shrimp cocktail (shared it with my daughter), Bacon wrapped filet with crusted blue cheese topping and Caesars salad. Filet was perfectly medium. The service was very good. My wife had the bone-in ribeye and they were very accommodating for my daughters dinner. The atmosphere in the restaurant created an enjoyable environment for my wife and daughter and me. Definitely recommend for a nice dinner out when visiting Halifax. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available and we were able to customize it to fit our needs

Definitely not the keg I use to know. My baseball top was cooked to perfection but thats where it ends. Wasnt seasoned had to add lots of salt to have flavour. The sides were not good... Did you guys microwave my scallops and shrimp maybe they were steamed? They were left on my plate very dry. Laked flavour and appearance. Waiter was very friendly and attentive drinks were made nicely. I think it will be my last time sadly.

I was going to write a long detailed review but all you need to know is, Im pretty sure the Keg only exists to serve as a median cost example for expense accounts and you should only eat here if a company is paying for it. Terrible everything.

We went as a party of 6 to the halifax location and we gladly accommodated as we were late for our reservation because of the traffic. Once we got to our table we were greeted by a wonderful waitress by the name of Katie. She was very sweet and made sure we were well taken care of. It was easy to see that she genuinely cared that we were having a good dining experience. Just wanted to make sure that Katie gets the credit she deserves as she was amazing at her job.

Steak wasnt anything special, it was definitely good, but not the best Ive had. The cocktails were just flat terrible. They love to put bitters in all of them, which for those who dont like bitters, ruins every drink. After spending $200 between myself and my girlfriend, I expected to be more impressed.

It was my husbands 30th birthday and in Ontario we cannot book reservations on weekends so we showed up not realizing that you had to have a reservation here and they were fully booked. Mackenzie, the manager and hostess were SO WONDERFUL! Not only did they make room for us at a really nice private booth in the bar area but they sent over a delicious piece of birthday cake. Our steaks/lobster, drinks and server were fantastic and overall we had an amazing first time visit at this location! We will 100% be back and I wanted to thank everyone again for helping me make my husbands birthday so great!

Its the Keg, the standard in which I place the quality and pricing of a steak dinner. The Keg has done a great job at making their meals consistently across Canada. And most steak places in the area will cost more but not meet the Kegs quality/taste. So IMO, just go to the keg. There is a place 5 min away that costs more, you get less, and isnt any better. The grilled lobster tails with steak is the way to go. For an app, the baked brie is excellent. Parking: Not a specific knock against the keg, but rather Halifax. The parking situation in Halifax is terrible, especially for pick up and many places dont even have a spot to pull over and grab take-out.

The Keg is what it is. For the price, I d expect it to be more on par with an actual steakhouse, but still a solid choice. The seasoning and marination is lacking compared to what we are typically used to. It s convenient and sometimes we get a gift card from a friend or client and enjoy our time.

The Keg is always a great idea for dinner. Steaks are always perfectly cooked to medium rare, the service is exceptional (thanks Ashley!) and the Billy Miners pie is mind-bogglingly good (cant go wrong with mocha and chocolate). We rarely have date nights these days, but last night made up for at least a dozen missed ones. My only gripes are that the dining room is very dim, I get turned around easily. Kudos to the servers for navigating the dining room in the dark with hot plates. The other gripe is that the music that plays in the dining room is a bit too loud for my taste, I shouldnt have to lean in and practically shout at my date across the table. No one else seemed to mind, so its just me being nitpicky. Overall, I definitely recommend the Keg on Market Street.

I ordered the Lobster and steak . You would think that being in Halifax in May you would get a really nice lobster experience...well no , it was a tail...very small and very dry. It came with butter ( no garlic butter) and the steak was full on nerves. The lobster bisque was good and my husband s filet mignon was good too. The service was great! I find that for the price the food should be better. 240$ for 2 ...not really worth it in my opinion.

I had fried cauliflower (an appetizer) and a side of garlic mashed potatoes as neither of the 2 vegetarian options sounded appealing to me. I had a 2 drinks the first one was okay but the Mai Tai was awful. I would not recommend, I wouldnt go back. It was a very dark atmosphere, not sexy just kinda creepy and they have carpet! Not my style. Vegetarian options: The 2 vegetarian options both dont sound appealing to me. They dont seem to have had the same amount of time put into the thought process as some of the other menu items. It was definitely disappointing.

Mice!!! Myself, and 8 other colleagues from around the world were there for dinner on July 6, 2023. Throughout the meal, I thought I saw a mouse scurry by a couple of times but I wasn t sure due to the dimmed lights and dark carpeting. Our table spent approximately $1000.00 that night on dinner and drinks. As we were leaving, I mentioned to a staff member that I thought I d seen a few mice. I thought they should be made aware as it is most definitely a health hazard to have rodents in a restaurant. The manager approached and rudely said, we are aware . No sooner had she said it, when I literally had to jump up to avoid a mouse scurrying over my feet. First of all, I m appalled and disgusted that this restaurant was open while clearly infested with mice. Secondly, I m even more disgusted that the manager is aware of the problem and was completely nonchalant about it. There was no offer to provide any compensation, and no apology. I tried to contact the health department in Halifax with no success.

As usual the food was great and the desserts even better. The 2 servers were great and we had a good time with them. Parking: It is located in downtown Halifax so parking is available.

Things I would ask for next time- please don t butter the burger bun so much; salad dressing on the side; bake the fries longer (the do baked fried for allergy safety). We noticed that the side mushrooms were half gone bad when they cooked them. I ve never seen this lack of freshness at a Keg. Other than that they were great. The iceburg salad wedge with blue cheese had so much dressing so I d ask for it on the side, personally. Dietary restrictions: Thanks for always keeping our family safe. Kid-friendliness: They can adjust menu items for kids.

Big 0 for ambiance, you go in, eat and leave, nothing else, most boring of the chain and I have been to them in Ontario and Montreal since 2000. The food plate was as boring as they come. Steak was cooked to the desired taste but they should offer additional butter for the baked potato.

The food arrived quickly. The steaks were very good, however the accompaniment of vegetables was unevenly cooked and lacked flavour. The twice-baked potato was not great. The server was friendly but not particularly attentive (my water glass needed refilling and the staff were either running around assisting others or chatting among themselves). The relatively high prices are just not reflected in the quality of the food or the experience. Parking: We had a reservation for the Dartmouth location because downtown parking is a nightmare. An incident just off the MacKay bridge turned us around and we headed to Halifax instead. There I paid $4 for less than 1 hour of parking in a nearby lot. No street parking spots were available.

After I gathered up all my stuff and left, I was about a block away and the bartender who had been serving me ran up behind me with my wallet that I had left behind. The lady s name was Isabel and she is a super human being and a credit to the keg company. I can t explain the pain she saved me. Thank you so much, Isabel!!

Shockingly disappointed. I am used to Keg locations in Ontario that are always great. 2 top sirloins, neither were eaten as they were as chewey as rubber. Overcooked borderline hard calamari. Server was lovely but that was the only positive. So disappointed and dissatisfied, cant say ill be back.

So far, the juice is not fresh at all, and the appetizers are not good, sooooo oily .. lets see how the mains will be Update: the main course came and it was not good, the chicken breast was dry without any spices only on the skin. The course has only 4 pieces of carrots and one burned broccoli

The Keg Halifax NEVER disappoints. Yes there are all kinds of new and fancy places in town but if you want to have your plate full with delicious food from their starters to their mains, this is the place to go. If Im paying for a 20oz rib steak, done perfectly at med rare, I expect the sides to be included, not extra $. Their filet is always perfectly done, excellent flavor, never spongy or flat tasting. When we go out for dinner, we want excellent tasting food worthy of the cost and to walk out feeling we got our $$ worth. Im all for trying new places and flavors but not if my plate has more decorations than food and the cost is ridiculous. Yes we had a $240 bill but it was worth it! Staff are fabulous too.

The staff were exceptional, everyone was welcoming, polite and kind. On the other hand, the food was ordinary. The tartare lacked flavor and the cubes were huge. The grilled vegetables on the side were almost raw.

Steak was perfect! Seafood and veggies were so bland. They offer garlic butter on the menu but when asked for it (was suppose to come with meal) was told they actually dont have/serve garlic butter. Nothing wrong whats so ever with the service. Just very mediocre food for the price you pay. No regrets but wont be back.

The escargot was delectable, my steak was done Chicago-style medium rare and was cooked to perfection. From the ambiance to the flavours; everything was splendid. Thanks for making the night a memorable one, and another special shout-out to the fantastic server Natasha, great job!

We ate here on May 14 for our 29th anniversary. Our server was fantastic and very friendly and we were extremely satisfied with the staff in general. The surprise desert at the end of our meal was delicious. We had escargot and calamari for appetizers and both were enjoyable. The disappointment begins with my main course. I had prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes and deep fried onions. The rib was a large slab of flavorless meat. It was tender but cold and underwhelming in the extreme. The garlic mashed potatoes was a horrible clump of glossy goo that must have been sitting for hours before being served. The onions were interesting but maybe needed a dip or sauce to complement them with. My wifes steak was quite tasty and her baked potato was good. Sum it up great service but the food was not worth the cost or effort it takes to get to the location.

Service was great! For a party with 30, it was a great experience. My personal experience was superb. Billy Miner Pie is a MUST have. Words cannot describe how good this is. I recommend starting with this dessert first. We tried different appetizers. The Baked Brie was gooey throughout. Slightly salty for my taste, but everyone at my table enjoyed it. The Crispy Cauliflower was an out-of-body experience. They managed to make Cauliflower taste amazing. Tuna Tartare was uniquely flavorful. Calamari was good, extra peppers and it would be a star. Baked Garlic Shrimp was not missing any garlic AT ALL! The Lobster Bisque was a little of a let down for me! I was hoping for some lobster bits in the soup. The scoop of sour cream and broke the consistency a bit apart. With no protein or crunch aspect to the soup, it was a bit ordinary for a bisque. The Peppercorn New York Strip with the Blue Cheese Crust is will be my choice again and again and again! The vegetables were cooked to PERFECTION! It was Perfect PERFECTION! I opted for the Mashed Cauliflower for my side dish. All around, my experience was amazing. There were some overcooked dishes, which altered the overall experience. If the service outshines the food, I will give it a 5 star. In this case, it did. The KEG Downtown has some superb wait staff. Well Done. We will be back! Parking: Parking downtown is a challenge. I was fortunate to find a spot on by Barrington Street. Kid-friendliness: I saw a few families dining in here. I am certain its a family friendly establishment.
