This place opened up right across the street from me so my boyfriend and I spontaneously decided to try it as we hear live music coming from it sometimes in the summer and it seemed like a good time. I got a Heineken and a dirty it up burger. The Heineken was a bit sweet - the kind of sweet you get when the lines are a bit dirty in the tap. Honestly not the worst though beer is beer to me, so I wasn’t bothered at all. The biggest disappointment was that though it took me a few bites to figure out - my burger was just a pepper and cheese omelette on a bun with bacon, tomato and lettuce. It was supposed to be a burger with a fried egg and bacon. The server was so sweet and nice and I’m completely non-confrontational so I didn’t say anything about it and enjoyed the fries - which were very good! I’m just a little disappointed that my burger came with absolutely no burger in it. (Disclaimer I ate the bacon off of the burger before my boyfriend decided to take a picture of it)
After reading the good reviews, we decided to give a try for their breakfast menu. We don't regret at all. The service was amazing. Under new Management. The food is so good. You feel the home cooking feeling. The price is reasonable & the portion is big .The server were interacting with us during our service. She did have a good discussion with us, about our experiences & how they can improve etc. We will be definitely back for a Lunch or dinner .
Came here tonight for a birthday dinner, after seeing so many positive posts about the restaurant on social media, and Google. The service was great! The waitress was very personable, and attentive. The food was delicious, as well. Excellent portions, and came out as we ordered it. Everything was prepared fresh as we ordered it. The atmosphere was nice in the restaurant. It was clean, and well organized. I will definitely be returning here!
The best food I have ever had! After a very stressful work day, my husband and I went for dinner to Upper Keg, we were just blown by the food and service. Huge portions, best quality and taste. Too many options to choose, which will definitely make you want to visit again. Super fun and friendly staff, and the chefs were very generous to come out and ask if we liked the food, and also offered us free dessert. It has become our favorite spot already, and we will definitely visit often.
A hidden gem! I had no clue a bar like this existed in Oshawa till I was invited to go see comedy there, which they have every Monday. The place is bright, clean and open - it just has such a nice and comfortable ambiance! The staff is super welcoming and friendly. We had a nice chat with one of the bartenders, Kat. She's so sweet! The food there is very good as well. I've tried the Mozzarella Sticks and some chicken bites there. My friends had the Chicken Quesadilla and Upper Keg burger. It was all very delicious! Will definitely return and recommend to everyone!
What a hidden gem! Absolutely fantastic, attentive service! Fresh food, good quality, served hot with such friendliness and courtesy! Was torn between a few things of what to order so next time I am back in the area, will definitely return to try another dish! Thank you for the great eating experience! Cheers!
Best restaurant in Oshawa by a long shot. I've reviewed many places in Oshawa but this restaurant deserves some recognition. If i could give it 6 stars I would. Very accommodating chefs/owners. They really put passion into what they are cooking and you can taste it. Discovered it from a friend, and have brought many of my friends of different cultural backgrounds and they all agree the food tastes fresh, flavorful and unique. Kudos!
What a great spot! We just ate here for the first time and will definitely be going back! I had the traditional breakfast and it was perfect! The eggs were delicious, home fries were cooked perfectly, it came with fresh fruit as well! My fiancée had the ginger chicken salad and was very happy with it as well. Chicken was cooked perfectly, and dressing was full of flavor. We also shared a pancake after they said that is something that they do well and people love. Did not disappoint! I can honestly say that this was the best pancake I've ever had at a restaurant, maybe even ever... (sorry mom)... It was delicious! The staff was great, and the chef came out to check and see how we liked the food too. It's tucked in the corner of the plaza so make sure you do not miss it! You'll be happy you went!
Error - there is no restaurant or bar here called Upper Keg. And definitely not The Keg Restaurant we all know.
Highly recommend the butter chicken rice bowl and jambalaya fettucini. I ll be back!
The atmosphere here is very cozy and welcoming! My server Karen went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my order as they happened to be out of sweet potato fries Will definitely introduce this new gem to my fellow friends!:)
6 of us went in for dinner the other night. Every one enjoyed the food. The only complaint I heard was the portions are to big. Would recommend.
We were greeted immediately. The server remembered us from 6 months ago. She made a recommendation which was excellent. A roast turkey sandwich. Food was hot and delicious and I could not eat everything I saw someone enjoying their butter chicken with Naan bread. I will get that next time Vegetarian options: Sandwiches wraps, peroghies Dietary restrictions: The menu is extensive. Anyone could eat here
Smaller place and not so noisy. Good portions and food is delicious. Had the jambalaya, perfect spice. Service is friendly...you will not be disappointed.
very nice setting.
WWENT THERE LAST NIGHT WITH MY MOM AND DAD. THE PLACE IS VERY CLEAN WITH A FRIENDLY STAFF. THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC VERY TASTY. WWE WILL BE BACK. THAK YOU
We had the worst experience at the Upper Keg Restaurant. Our poor server was running around trying to take orders and deal with frustrated patrons who were waiting well over an hour for a simple burger. We ordered two hamburgers and a poutine, but ended up leaving after an hour and a half. There was a steady stream of Skip/Uber Eats drivers coming in and out the entire time. We are usually super patient people and the server was lovely, but after and hour and a half, we were done. We paid for our drinks and left. The owner seemed more invested in the Skip the Dishes then the actual customers at the restaurant. He also let his poor server take the brunt of Customers frustrations instead of dealing with customers himself
Food was great , Waitress polite and knowledgeable! We can recommend this lovely little restaurant to anyone. Family friendly as well.Fantastic place! Ed & Shelley
They dont listen to requests but they have great frys and great music so its worth it
First time trying Upper Keg after reading all the great reviews. Was not disappointed. Got take out and was really great to bring it home still hot and it was delicious. Portions are above average. The staff when I entered were very welcoming and the place has a cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.
Saw lots of great reviews so we decided to give this place a try! Service was great and our server was lovely and very friendly. Boyfriend got a burger which he enjoyed and I had a wrap and fries. Fries are delicious!! Wrap was large and full of chicken ( not all lettuce and fillers like some places) only reason I gave a 4 star is due to the fact I ordered a cocktail and im convinced there was no alcohol in it just mix. Other than that everything was great and we will return (just wont order any fancy drink) i do recommend giving this hidden gem a try!
One of our favourite spots. The staff are all friendly and the server Teepa always treats us special. One of the overhead TV stations is tuned into the fireplace channel which makes the whole area feel very homey. Although everything we ve ordered has been great, our favourite items are Meat Eater Poutine and Chicken Parm. Best wishes for a successful future. The community is lucky to have you. Parking: Lots of parking conveniently located in the No Frills Mall.
Today was the second time my husband and I had lunch and did not disappoint us. All delicious, especially their hamburgers.
Great little place food was great and service was excellent
Awesome cozy little place, massive menu and a good kids menu as well. The server we had was new and she did a phenomenal job. Our food came quick, exactly to order and it was delicious. 10/10
Was recently there for a family celebration. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Very nice atmosphere. The food is delicious with large portions . I had the bruschetta and chicken fettuccine . I highly recommend this restaurant.
I was at the Upper Keg last night and I had never heard of this restaurant. I checked out the menu ahead of time and I was very impressed. The restaurant was smaller than I expected but that was okay. It gave it a more intimate vibe. The waitress was so cute and sweet and very personable. She was the highlight of the restaurant. She was trying so hard to do the best she could under the circumstances. Most of our dinner party were ordering meals with rice. The waitress had to inform us that they had supply issues and didnt have rice. Any dish with rice accompanying it, they couldnt serve to us. Fine, we chose other meals. It took an inordinate amount of time to prepare and bring the food to the table. We knew that there was a problem in the kitchen for sure. We were okay with it since we were there to celebrate a birthday and to catch up with each other. If we were in a hurry, we would have had to leave with only having our drinks. Most of the food arrived as tiny portions. Like kid-size portions. The prices were very reasonable and matched the portion size. Low prices, small portions. My fish was very dark (over done) but the taste was good and I didnt want to say anything because of the time. The coleslaw was homemade and I enjoyed that. The waitress brought out a complimentary dessert for the birthday girl which was a lovely gesture. Would I go back? Maybe...one more chance? The potential is there...I think...I hope.
I play a little game with my husband, we go to a new restaurant a week, always something we would never go to. This week we chose the Upper Keg Restaurant and Bar. At first glance you see lots of plants in the windows, a cozy and warm atmosphere with likely new furniture, a small bar with beer rail and L shaped seating around the bar. My initial though was wow this is nicer than I expected (we all know this spot has a turnover rate for restaurants). Excited to see a menu, the manager invited us to sit, we chose the bar seating. We were eventually given a menu to which we were informed of everything we could not have (over half the menu was unavailable). We ordered two burgers to go and were left alone at the bar for about 10 minutes, never offered a drink, still had not paid for the food. During this 10 minutes multiple other guests had walked in and promptly back out seeing no server or bartender. Another 5 minutes and another guest came in for a quick drink who had to knock on the kitchen door after waiting another 5 minutes for some service. overall we waited over 20 minutes for 2 burgers with no one behind the bar or in the front at all. When we finally spoke to someone again we had to ask for a cocktail menu which again we were informed (5 more minutes later) was out of date and not in use. This menu had at least 6-8 typos and no personality. finally on to the food thank you for getting this far. When we had asked both the server AND manager for no onions of any kind on the burger, guess what we found on the burger? Onions! The pattys were obviously not fresh, tough and dry. You could say the same about the buns they came on. Our takeout caesar salad was pre tossed in dressing so it was soggy when we got home. Rookie mistake after rookie mistake. We ended the visit promised a new cocktail menu in 2 weeks following our visit. We will be back and it will be a final chance for me to change this review. Good luck.
Heard since new owners the food is terrible!!
I got a poutine with steak and Italian sausage. The steak tasted like liver and almost fishy
Portions not Entree size. You will be hungry Missed an ingredient and noodles were very starchy. Couldn t get an item from menu no rice There is a grocery store in the plaza !! Lost a customer
So they have a bar full of taps, but none currently working. Under new management trying hard, friendly, but over an hour to get a wrap and burger, yikes . It was not even busy. We will not be back.
I was in Oshawa on a weeknight & wanted to visit a local bar. I found the Upper Keg Restaurant online & noticed they had a great variety of options on their menu. Upon entering I noticed how clean and well kept it was. I was greeted by a waitress who was very friendly & accommodating during my visit. I had a starter of nachos & followed it up with a chicken & pasta dish. Both were truly generous portions, fresh & delicious. If youre looking for a truly solid resto/bar in Oshawa, this a place you dont want to miss!
Waitress was polite that is what the one star is for. Food almost inedible. Fish burnt. Wrap made with soggy lettuce yuck. Best was we asked for a burger for our daughter with nothing on it and at first it came out with what looked like mayo on it. Then came out second time with just a bun no meat. Third time it was correctly sent out. Skip this place at all costs. Half the menu items are not available. No beer on tap and not informed till can brought out.Overall just weird experience.
One of the worst foods I ever ate in a restaurant. The salmon was so over cooked that is tasted like dry chicken breast. The vegetables wasnt even cooked properly and had so much black pepper, that is all I tasted burning my tongue. The waitress was nice and tried to fix the vegetables but it was beyond fixing. Waste of $19.
Dont even bother. Theyll mess everything up and blame it on new management.
Not what I was expecting. Owners changed. 90% of the menu was crossed out. Service was slow for being the only ones there. Won t be coming back
The place has got a new menu, awsome variety of ribs and wings and new delicious sandwiches as well, the menu is short and concise to help me choose what exactly i would want.
Loved the menu! So many amazing options and great service
Amazing food and the vibe is chill.. Definitely recommend and personally will be back for more wings.
Such a shame! Utterly disappointed to see the changes here. Everything I loved on the menu is now gone. Doubt I will return.
We havent been to the Upper Leg since last November, and we heard that it had a change of management. So we thought we would check it out again. My wife had the Chef Burger and I had the Buffalo Chicken Burger. The food was so-so and the menu is very pared down from before. The owner ( who was also our server) was very friendly and invited honest feedback (positive and negative), which we gave him. He was receptive to and appreciated our suggestions. We will go back and try this place again. Im curious about the ribs and wings.
*** UPDATE MAY 2023 *** Wow, the new menu is basically sandwiches, soup, and burgers. Thats it. All of the good dinners are gone :( Sad to see. Portion size = amazing! I got a take away and had more than enough for left overs the next day. Perfect! Super tasty and quality ingredients, I ve definitely found my new favourite restaurant!
Good example of people thinking they have a shortcut to wealth by buying a business with no clue how to run a business. Ruined a perfectly good thing too. Checked back after the new menu- prices way up for simple food that Im sure is not like it used to be. I used to like ordering ahead and coming in for a pint while waiting on pickup. -Used to have beer on tap, before not offering it I got it a few times and it was hardly palatable. -They should take themselves off Uber Eats since they either dont acknowledge the order or dont have most of whats listed.. tried to order multiple times but had to cancel because most of it was out of stock items -Online ordering on the website disabled as well -Food quality down the tubes.
Amazing
Food is always amazing. Waitresses are horrible and can t even understand a simple question . I asked for a lemon she brought a lime, then I asked for a lemon wedge she brought me a whole cut up Lemon. Too bad bc food was excellent and same with manager
Friendly service, inviting atmosphere.
Delicious veggie burger and amazing customer service. We went on Christmas Day and had a good time! Would go again
Delectable food and amazing service! Both Shelly & Raj ensure that you are well taken care of. We ordered a well done Newyork steak and a beyond meat veggie burger. Both were good. Also have a huge selection to cater to the South Asian palette!
The staff are friendly but I wasn t impressed with the food. I m not sure I ll return
Great food good service I like it. Clean restaurant
Well cooked, mannered staff, delicious food :)
Ordered in tonight from Upper Keg and the food was awesome. Everyone was happy and really enjoyed their meals. Thank you!!!
Not only an amazing place to eat, with high quality customer service and food, but they actually support the community. Great job on treating the homeless with dignity and respect.
Support local! Food is amazing!!
Good food, friendly staff
Absolutely Delicious Food! We ordered in tonight and will be ordering again very soon to try more items on the menu. We tried the fish and chips and the jambalaya pasta. (Was very hard to choose... There are so many things that sound delicious) Hands down the best meal we have had from a restaurant in a long while. I would 100 percent recommend trying them out if you havent already.
Went to Upper Keg tonight in North Oshawa. Food, atmosphere, prices were great. Ordered steak,mash potatoes, veggies. Friend ordered a pasta dish, also great. Staff was friendly great service, place was clean, and they gave us free cheesecake for dessert, yummy! I will definitely be back.
Went there for my daughters birthday. The food and service was fantastic !
Thanks for making my birthday special!
Large Manu! And absolutely everyone in my party enjoyed what they got! Prices were great and portions are large! Will go back 100%
Feb 11 had afternoon lunch /supper the food was amazing and the server Karen was excellent the cost was veryow for the quality of food and the food was great .
The food was amazing, we had pan-fried Salmon and penne rose pasta, and they gave us a couple of cheesecakes as a gift since my wife is expecting. The prices are reasonable, our bill came to $30, Everything was beyond expectations, the food was delicious, service was outstanding and caring, and for sure we are coming back.
Amazing food and good prices! Thanks for the cheesecake its sooooo good :)
A nice cozy place with a great food and drinks! Love Kathy and the chef Sathish! Great food!!!!
What a hidden gem!!!! The atmosphere is lovely. And the food was INCREDIBLE!!!! We had chili chicken bites, butter chicken and the 10oz steak dinner. Everything was so fabulous we walked out completely stuffed with tons of leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Portions were HUGE!!!! Thank you to the owner, chef and server for the personal attention. We will definitely be back!!!!
This is a hidden gem. We went here for dinner last night and our minds were blown. The quantity was humongous and the quality was top notch. The lady who serviced us was so much fun and super friendly. Also, as we were finishing our meal the chefs came out as a nice gesture and asked how we liked the food. To top it off we were served complimentary cheesecake. Well go here quite frequently to try the other lip smacking items they have on their menu. A must visit for everyone.
My Wife and I went to the Upper Keg restaurant and we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The waitress Kat was very pleasant and friendly.The portion size was very good. We are making plans to go back real soon.
Ordered tonight for take out for my fiance and I. We both got a burger combo with fries, drinks, etc. I was so pleasantly surprised by their customer service. We had a small issue with our order because of allergy and the manager drove us a complete new order himself. It was still piping hot when he got here and we are so grateful for the extra trip as we originally ordered through skip the dishes. Also got a free slice of cheesecake for spending over $25. Food was delicious. Would recommend and will return.
Came here yesterday for an early dinner, wasnt disappointed. Cute little place, great food and portion sizes at an excellent value. Extremely friendly waitress made it even better. Well definitely be back :)
I had a wonderful visit for dinner. The food was spectacular and the staff were welcoming and very friendly with a sense what I would consider a great sense of humour! We enjoyed every moment and will definitely be back soon! Especially once comedy and live music return!!
Wow! What a hidden gem! My family and I (party of 9) went here tonight to celebrate my mothers birthday and we all were very impressed. The menu is HUGE!!! They have something that everyone would like. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions are massive and the prices are very reasonable. They even gave my mother a complimentary slice of cheesecake as they sang Happy Birthday to her. Our server was top notch! She was very friendly and professional. We couldnt have asked for better service. All in all it was an excellent experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great meal and doesnt want to spend an arm and a leg doing so. I will definitely come back.
Some pros some cons. Really tasty food with great portions, but a small narrow place with maybe not enough staff (i.e. a bit of a long wait time) Very friendly though! Seems to be frequented by chatty older adults.
Great food, friendly staff and great music
Great atmosphere, delicious food, huge portions and friendly staff!!
Weve been several times now and the food has been fantastic every time. The service is friendly and the prices are amazing. It has become a regular stopping place for us on after a busy day at work. Highly recommend
We ordered takeout this evening by ordering online through their website. The chicken on the chicken souvlaki was so tough and came with white rice (no seasoning or vegetables like we had before). It was grilled chicken with white rice, definitely not souvlaki. The pot pie was cold in the centre and had no gravy inside - it was dry and the vegetables were so hard. I tried calling the restaurant 3 times and could not get through. They also mention on their website that if order of $25, they also provide a complimentary slice of cheesecake, which was not included. Overall, very disappointed and a wasted dinner.
Super friendly staff and great food!
Want good food at a good price? Of course you do. Then come here! Portion sizes are incredible, its cozy and the staff are great and friendly.
Finally tries this place after weeks of hearing about the hype and it was actually really lovely! The portions are large, the prices are low, and the service is super friendly. The bar is definitely quite no frills but its relaxing and a smaller place so never too loud. Weve already been twice and will for sure be back!
Finally tried the Upper Keg tonight after seeing so many great reviews. This place did not disappoint. The food was very good, coupled with their more than fair pricing. It should be a no brainer. What I would like to commend more than the great food and pricing is the service from our amazing waitress to the owner. We had quite an unruly customer who had one too many drinks. Our waitress was very polite and cut him off accordingly. He got very unruly and the staff did and amazing job handling the situation. They also offered us a free menu item for us to try for the hassle of having to witness what transpired. It was not necessary but a welcome offering. You should try this place not only for the amazing food but the great care they put into each customer.
Excellent service, generous portions, and the best butter chicken in Durham!
Great prices, friendly staff.
Been to this restaurant twice love the food love the staff never have been disappointed. Liver and Onions is the best. My husband likes the Grilled chicken Poutine.
This was our first visit. The food was great and the staff were friendly. Will be coming back.
Good portions of food, friendly staff , would go back
The Food and Service is amazing, very friendly & very welcoming. I would certainly recommend eating here, I have been 4 times and each and every time the service and food was incredible! I will be back soon lol
4 months ago this was my review - Love Upper Keg! Their fettucine is delicious! Ordered tonight not so much. Dinner was terrible. I ordered at 3:30 for pickup at 5. Everything was cold and the fettucine was like a block of cement. Ordered the Big EZ and got a Philly Cheese instead. Not sure what has happened since I was last there 2but definitely have gone downhill. Im not typically a whiner but it was definitely too much today.
Went in for the first time tonight, not very busy. We ordered and after 55 minutes of waiting for food our waitress advised us that the kitchen didnt receive our food order. I proceeded to head towards the door and she did apologize and told us to come back and try them again another time.
Delicious food, great portion size. Will definitely be back!
Best bar staff Karen
Friendly environment. Great prices. Nothing over $20. Fast. Hot and tasty.
Great friendly staff. Amazing food.
Great service, great food! Will be returning!
Ordered the Seafood spaghetti the menu said it was a white wine sauce but actually tasted like a curry sauce. Totally lacking in seafood and didn t say vegetables were included but they seemed to take the place of the seafood. Very disappointed, will not be going back.
Pretty diverse menu, food is good, portions are big and reasonably priced, service is always friendly and helpful - would strongly recommend!
Excellent food, great prices and the service is great! Highly recommend this hidden gem!
Was expecting more from a business with Keg in the name.
One word...Delicious!!
Small little spot where you almost dont see it but check it out cause its so worth it! Food and service were absolutely amazing, Ill definitely be back on the regular
The food. Shockingly good! Wasnt expecting too much. I got a bar vibe and thats it but they serve a full food menu! Perogies were great! Really appreciated the size because whats advertised on the menu as 8 perogies just doesnt sound like enough. The waitress was lovely, very personable. Everything we ordered I was very happy with.
Great place to go to
Love the food and the service. Our go to for dinner for sure
Huge portions and good prices, smaller place with seating for about 30 people
Wow what a little gem this place is. Awesome steak dinner and reasonable! Our server Karen was excellent. I really hope this place continues to thrive. Will be returning for sure.
I ve been here a few times and every time the food is fantastic! The service is always great, I would 100% recommend to everyone as they have so many different options and the Upper Keg has easily some of the best food I have ever had!
I wanted to like this place as its so close to my home...When they first opened I ate there with my brother his fish was rubbery and so hard to cut through ( clearly frozen and not fresh ) All I ordered was jalapeno poppers, they were not terrible but not good either as they were bland .... Tonight I ordered dinner for my 10 year old son and I, my son got the Philly cheese steak and bacon pierogies I asked them if they could add cheese and I would be willing to pay extra but they didnt also I ordered the chicken parmesan it was extremely Bland and the chicken had hard parts in it .... wont be back ...
The staff was awesome and the food was absolutely fantastic
Just went in for a couple of beer. The bartender Karen was very pleasant.
Clean, affordable, good food!
Great food, awesome service!! Looking for somewhere new, check them out!!!
Excellent food and staff. Raj is a great guy
Good food. A bit small but amazing service!!
This place surprised me in a good way! Fabulous chicken wings and fish and chips! Staff are friendly and helpful too.
Love the vegetarian pasta here. It s amazing. Penne Alfredo and vegetable spaghetti Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options
This is an amazing place to have a meal. Excellent food. Amazing person serving the food. Great pricing. Well go back there many times to come.
Nice cute tucked away restaurant very fresh food and resembles home made. Steaks are goid
My boyfriend and I have been here a few times - one for each meal of the day - and have loved it each time. Server was friendly and prompt with our orders and answered any questions we had. The food was delicious (which isn t an easy thing for restaurants to master for all the meals). They also have both Coke and Pepsi products, which is rare and a nice change. Overall, great food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. Would highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options on the menu. Parking: Lots of parking spots available.
Nice small place with great food.
Smaller place, feels open nice place Ive have been a few times
Good service and a great family running it, if you like spicy food this is a place to go. Aswell lots of different poutines
We had a reservation at One Eyed Jacks this evening for 18 people. They screwed up and were unable to accommodate us. My sister called The Upper Keg and asked if they could accommodate 16 of us for my parents 51st wedding anniversary and the girl said come on in we have room. They were so accommodating and we had amazing service, especially on very short notice. The staff were awesome and the food was amazing we already asked if we could book our party for next year!lol thank you so much for accommodating us you guys are amazing!!!!
It was a nice place unfortunately it was closed and another restaurant has taken over.
One of the best Restro-Bar in Oshawa. The bartender is having some amazing skills and top-notch customer service. Covid protocols are being obeyed by the staff and very friendly behaviour. Highly recommended.
Good food. Highly recommend
Great food.
THE UPPER KEG HAS A VERY HUGE INCREDIBLE MENU. THE SERVER SHELLY IS PHENOMENAL. VERY AMAZING FOOD AND EXCELLENT SERVICE. BIG SHOUT OUTS TO THE OWNER OF THE UPPER KEG. MY EXPERIENCE HERE HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL REALLY HAPPY WITH THIS PLACE. I REALLY ENJOYED THEIR HALIBUT AND KETTLE CHIPS AND AS WELL AS CHICKEN BACON CLUB SANDWICH THE GRAVY IS AMAZING AS WELL AS THE COLESLAW AND TARTAR SAUCE TOO. EVERYTHING MADE FRESH BY THE OWNER. VERY SUPERB. THE UPPER KEG HAS A VERY COMFORTABLE ATMOSPHERE. ITS LOCATED IN OSHAWA ON SIMCOE STREET AT BEATRICE STREET RIGHT BEHIND THE DAIRY QUEEN. I LOVE THIS PLACE. AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL HAVE A VERY SAFE INCREDIBLE THANKSGIVING DAY WEEKEND. THE UPPER KEG IS THE BEST AND THE GREATEST THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH UPPER KEG WOOT WOOT. THE CHEESECAKE IS SO AMAZINGLY GOOD MMMMMMM THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU
Great selection on the menu. Loved the food and looking forward to going back!
A cozy and warm atmosphere full of fun, entertainment, and cheer. The patio has heating as you look on from the corner of a shopping lot. Accoustics sounding large and clear for any band blessed to play here. It has been newly renovated for its grand opening, and even the bathrooms are prestine by comparison to other bars ventured. The food is served very fresh, cooked pub style to perfection and your whim, because here they are very willing to accommodate personal taste, and prompt. Recurring customers are welcome and remembered, the staff are professional, polite, and the prices are very bargain- under ten dollars and right choices, you may easily walk out of this place full, and content with portion size matching cost at a more than reasonable request for value, simply said, its worth it. The music and comedic entertainment are young and new professional locals, yet appealing to an older generation, as all ages are welcome to dine. Culture meets culture here with a humble bargain that brings true joy.
Excellent value for your money. Large portions, great food, wonderful service. Will definitely be coming back!
Amazing service and food. Loved the owner and the store was very welcoming. definitely will go back !!!
Wow soo good food
Second time in two days, same great food, service and atmosphere. Will be back. Got such a huge menu to try!
Awesome establishment, menu is huge and everything so far is fantastic. Highly Recommended.
Never Expected good quality and better price. Will visit Again
The most slept on restaurant in Oshawa Had a ridiculously huge chicken sandwich that was amazing 5 stars not pricey either.
Have been in at least 6 times for breakfast and have loved the omelets.... Finally decided to go for dinner and again was not disappointed. I had the burger, my wife had the Mediterranean wrap, my son had the Shaker Sandwich (steak) and his girlfriend had the chicken fingers. All scratch made and all delicious. Whatever seasoning they use for their fries is so good. Real freshly cooked bacon in the Caesar salad. Fair price, amazing food and friendly service. Lets show them some love....
This was the best pancakes Ive ever had. If youre ever in Oshawa, you must stop by to eat here. Worth the commute. The food has so much flavour and their smoothies are incredible. You can truly taste how fresh it was made. The chefs/owners are so friendly and humble. You can see all the passion they put into all of their meals. Keep up the fantastic work guys! Definitely coming back for more!
This first review (below) was 9 months ago and since then I have recommended Grace Kitchen to many friends. I have had nothing but good reviews from those friends who ate there. Now in the midst of Covid19 I need to add that the take out food is equally great. If you have not ordered take out from Grace Kitchen please consider it! They need and deserve the business! Oshawa is fortunate to have this gem of a restaurant. We think this is a real find, a place you can brag about discovering. Excellent menu, and everything we have tried has been not just good but superb. For example, the Butter Chicken Rice Bowl is as good as it gets. Meals prepared by a chef - not a fast order cook and taste the difference! We agree wholeheartedly with the other very positive reviews!
SEE EDIT BELOW - I dont typically leave reviews, but I feel obligated in this case as I rely heavily on them myself when I choose where to eat and the reviews are what led to me discovering this restaurant. Ive been to Grace Kitchen several times in the last couple months and Ive tried about half a dozen different meals. I havent been disappointed yet. The service and food are both excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. Id highly recommend the butter chicken as well as the jambalaya as they are some of the best flavoured dishes Ive ever had in my life. The menu items are similar to that of a lot of generic restaurants, but the quality of the food is exceptional and it is all made fresh which is what makes the difference between this restaurant and the typical chain restaurants. Make sure you try Grace Kitchen! EDIT - After several visits to Grace Kitchen, I returned again last night expecting the same delicious food that I always get. Unfortunately there are new guys working at the restaurant (supposedly temporarily). What was once a fantastic restaurant is now just another average place not worthy of a second visit, at least for the time being. The butter chicken was nothing like it was with the previous chefs and it was half the regular portion size, the burger was frozen, and the fries were inconsistent. Everything was previously fresh and now these new guys are cutting corners and ruining the restaurant s reputation. I will not be returning unless I find out the original chefs have returned. Very disappointing.
Same Name, different restraunt. New management, so everything is more expensive and the quality of food has gotten worse. Its sad to see what was once an amazing restraunt look like it is today. Lost a long time customer today.
Homemade Goodness!!!
good food delivered by Uber eats however Ive noticed the pricing is a bit off... for instance you can get a steak for $6 but a tiny Slice of factory made cheesecake costs $8... Weird. One other small thing was using sticky tape to wrap the napkins around the cutlery just meant the napkin got torn to shreds... Otherwise very tasty.
This is my dads restaurant and it will always be the best.
What a small Gem in the north end of Oshawa. The service, food and prices were all exceptional. We have been trying to support local businesses during COVID and this is one that I urge you to try out. Raj the owner and his team served us an excellent dinner after reading all the positive reviews. We will be returning again and letting anyone we talk to know about it.
Took my daughter here for dinner and I was so happy with the service, smiles and the food was amazing! This Independant restaurant is who we should be supporting right now. I ll be back and will Also be ordering online with them.
The service was really outstanding and the people who work there were very nice. The food was okay but all I had was the penne which is pretty basic. The one thing that really threw me off is the lack of COVID precautions. Only one worker was wearing a mask and the cooks were not wearing them. They were so nice that I couldnt bring myself to leave even though I probably should have. Seems like no one in the area is taking mask-wearing seriously either as other guests were walking around without them. Maybe when this pandemic is over Ill visit again but until then wont be because of the lack of precautions.
Amazing food very friendly staff and good prices
Wonderful, Friendly and Joyful Staff and Chef. Delicious Food. You Rock Raj Bro..!

Delicious food, great prices, friendly service! Great place to try out for any meal.
Wow. Stopped into this little restaurant to be greeted by a very welcoming staff, and cook!. The food was amazing something I would expect in a 7 star resort. I had the chicken penne pasta and honestly was blown away by the quality and care that went into the food....and the flavor blew my mind. My wife had the buffalo chicken wrap and home cut fries that were crispy and the wrap was full of flavor.......I will now be making this my new spot. A big thank you to the staff and chef of Grace kitchen for making my first of many experiences a spectacular one!!!!!

You have to try this place. Excellent food and service.
Just tried this place for the first time and it was amazing!! Staff is so friendly and the cooks are also welcoming (as they have an open face kitchen). Food was delicious! I got their special omelet with hashbrowns and bacon and it did not disappoint. Their breakfast potatoes are cut fresh in house and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back!
Graces kitchen has great service and very friendly staff. Everything Ive tried on the menu has been delicious, the food is amazing and I always enjoy talking with Sakthi
This is the cutest little hole in the wall! The staff are so friendly and the place is super well kept. Will for sure be coming here again

Super clean. Great breakfast. Friendly staff.
Went for our first time. Food was amazingly fresh and light and we had the Halibut and fries. The batter was fluffy and delicious. Fresh Cole slaw and tartar sauce. Very very reasonably priced. We will definitely be going back and recommending to our friends
Nice place to eat any time. Willing to please. I will go back.
Excellent food and friendly staff
Great little place. Food was excellent as well as the service.
we go there very often. love the specials!!
I had an amazing dinner experience at Grace...food was brilliant & the service was so attentive. First visit but will return for sure...I really enjoy finding a place like Grace
A hidden gem. This was my first time here, never knew it existed. I came to use the ATM before going to breakfast elsewhere and was impressed. The decor is fresh, clean, minimalistic, good coffee, very attentive owners and waitress. Im doing the paleo diet and asked them to hold the home fries and toast and they substituted for mushrooms, peppers and a half fried tomato . The steak and eggs were totally on point, cooked to perfection. A fair portion of fresh fruit was squeezed onto the plate to round out this inexpensive brekky. Ill definitely be coming back here again.
Great food my butter chicken was the best Ive had. You must try this place. My son loved his burger the meat was very tasty. We will be back.
This is a great place with great food!!
Go check it out! Great service and really good food.
Just stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. Ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. Warning: this sandwich could feed a small family! 2 pieces of chicken, tomato, bacon, cheese, lettuce, coleslaw - all between a bun! My partner had their burger - just about as big! Food was great, looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes.
We ll be back to eat again. My wife and I both ordered the philly cheese steak and we both thought it was delicious. Our daughter ordered the Mac & cheese and my wife and I tried it as well, and we all thought it was also delicious. Price wasn t bad, friendly and respectful service. Next time I may try the butter chicken.
