Review The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Barrie - Barrie

Great service from Bradley. Thanks, Brad! Great food. Great atmosphere. Steak was cooked to how we asked. Music was soft and was able to hear my girlfriend easily, even with the other customers around us. Couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's Day dinner. Thank you everyone and see you next year.

The service is great. We came the day before a Valentines, a Sunday, so it was really busy. The Calamari appetizer was very delicious and well prepared. Our entreés, with a side of mushrooms and scallops, were phenomenal. Everything, including the lobster, was cooked to perfection. The desserts (cheesecake and a brownie), were also exceptionally delicious. The atmosphere was good. It is a good restaurant, but 4 stars because there are other great and more affordable restaurants in Barrie.

We are regulars at the Keg and this location in particular. The one thing about the keg is you always know what to expect. The standard is usually exception from location to the next, however this family night out was much different. I was intrigued by the Seasonal Menu which featured a sirloin with mushroom and truffle cream sauce (picture from their website included) and what I got was nothing like the picture not to mention my medium rare steak was still bleeding. You can see in my pictures the difference from the website and what I got. I paid the additional up charge for the mushroom truffle (not so creamy) sauce. My wife got the salmon which was way over cooked which you can see in the picture. Our boys got the keg burger and steak and lobster, which they were both happy with. The Oysters Rockefeller were excellent, however they were out of calamari? How does the keg run out of a staple? I understand that we are coming out of a lockdown and it’s difficult to find staff but the keg experience was not the normal keg experience. We had drinks and appetizers and all being said we spent $460. Not what we expect from the Keg. Please get back to your usual self.

In the past three nights I have reviewed three restaurants primarily for they filet mignon. One upscale Toronto eatery and two in Barrie. By far the hands down winner was the Keg.The experience was also the most positive. We arrived at our scheduled reservation time and were immediately seated. The restaurant was full and buzzing with activity. Were were greeted by our waitress Emma right away who was pleasant and attentive the whole night. We had heard that the French Onion soup was also very good and started with that. Indeed the soup was excellent. Just the right amount of cheese, not overly drowned with bread and a very flavourful broth. We also ordered a baked goat cheese from a special addition to their regular menu. This was a menu celebrating the Kegs 50th year in business. This dish was so spectacular that I suggest they add it to their everyday menu along with the baked brie they already have there. We ordered a 7oz and a 10oz filet along with fully dressed baked potatoes. The food arrived hot and was cooked perfectly to our individual requested levels. The vegetables on the side were also perfect. They were still crisp to the bite and flavourful. Usually restaurants get this easy part wrong and serve soggy limp vegetables. The potato was also perfect. No hint of the skin being burnt or any undercooked flesh. The filets come wrapped in bacon which we immediately removed. The last thing I want to taste is bacon with such a perfectly cooked piece of high end beef. I'm not sure why they cook it this way but it is not necessary to overwhelm the taste of the filet withe the taste of bacon in my opinion. Some may like this and to each his/her own. The Keg is my new definite go to for a great filet mignon. The price of the filet in all three reviews were about the same. Only the Keg offered a 10oz version.

It was very busy but we had a reservation and were seated quickly. Service was good although food did take a bit long. We both got the 1/2 lobster and steak. It was delicious! We also got a mini dessert each which were yummy and just the right amount. We had bacon wrapped scallops as an app which were fantastic. I had a glass of red sangria first, it was good but sweet so j wouldn't recommend ordering more than one. Great experience overall!

My three friends & I went to the Keg in Barrie after a day of skiing/snowboarding at MSLM. On a Sunday late afternoon, we were seated in less than 5 minutes. Our server came & took our drink and food order quickly. She was friendly, quick and efficient & made sure to check in with us to ensure that all is okay. I ordered the 7 oz. filet mignon wrapped in bacon in the Keg classic dinner which includes a salad of your choice. I chose the iceberg wedge with blue cheese dressing. I got my steak medium rare (came out perfect) & twice baked for my accompliment and it also came with mushrooms plus a broccoli & sweet potato mix. Everything was perfection including the sour dough bread with three cheese butter. My friends all order the steak frites and they all enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend this location for their fantastic food & service. I forgot to take a photo of my steak dinner as I got too excited once I saw it lol.

Great service. Much better meal than the last time I was there. (Tomato cut in half baked with cheese). Lobster was very fresh and tasty.

Service was great but our food was terrible. We ordered escargot and it was cold they reserved it to us and it was again cold. So we just said no more. Our steaks were cooked but our broccoli and butternut squash was cold and hard. Our garlic mashed was like warm and my lobster tail was also cold and undercooked. Our server was great and apologized but we told her it wasn't her fault as she did not cook the food. She said she would send her manager to speak with us. A pregnant server approached our table with a new tail and said this one should be better but it wasn't. It was again luke warm and still like jelly. I just took it home to recook. She said I took care of your drinks and left. She never introduced herself as the manager. She just dropped the lobster tail on the table and left. We had 1 beer and an ice tea. My mom had a water and my grandson had a chocolate milk. I asked our server if she was the manager and she said yes. Wow. I've been a long time regular of the Keg and have noticed the quality of the food has declined over the past few years. It was extremely packed in there with easy 40 to 50 waiting in the lobby and foyer for a table. If the kitchen can't put out quality food maybe they are too overwhelmed. UPDATE: STILL NO RESPONSE FROM THE KEG ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE. Poor customer service.
