I remember a time when The Keg was a place you would plan a family dinner for, something set aside for a special occasion.

Now it seems like they can't even cook a steak right anymore let alone a whole meal.

Was here a few days ago, Sunday, with the wife and another couple for dinner. It was not very busy, less than half full with more then enough servers to accommodate the number of tables. However, initial seating took at least 3-5 minutes at the door and our waitress seemed more concerned with chatting to her coworkers about her weekend escapades then about taking our drink order.

After finally receiving our drinks we ordered appies. Flatbread was terrible, pizza hut would have been better, baked shrimp were OK - flavour was good, shrimp were a bit stringy and overdone. We all had steaks, flavour was good - I would expect that The Keg gets good meat - although 3 out of 4 were overdone, not by much, but noticeably. Our server did little to rectify the situation aside from offer us free dessert, which we were in no mood for.

All in all, the meal was not worth the money, could easily have done better at Gotham's or Pinky's.

I’ve often walked by this Keg when I visit Granville Island and wasn’t particularly excited about a dinner outing with friends at this restaurant. By all appearances from the outside it looks like a surfer hangout, so it was a pleasant surprise at how polished the actual dinning area is on the main floor, more like the other Keg Restaurants. The service was prompt and the serving staff were pleasant and attentive from beginning to end. My steak was done a perfect medium-rare and no one was disappointed. Also, the ahi tuna appetizer with a wasabi-mushroom reduction was delicious though slightly overcooked but not so much so as to disappoint. The pricing is what one would expect for a steak house. A great place for a steak dinner with friends when Granville Island is the destination.

We had a Father's day dinner at the Keg. The prices of the entrees were slightly over priced for what we ate. I don't mind paying if the food is prepared well. The chicken and seafood entree I had was extremely salty. Someone else had the Teriyaki chicken entree which was dry and overcooked. A couple of the others in my party had the prime rib dinner which included a salad, vegetables and rice. They commented that the prime rib was satisfactory. It seems the best deal here is to order one of the complete dinners but unfortunately they only include beef and not chicken or seafood. I guess this is to be expected as this is a steakhouse. The service was nothing to complain about. Our waitress was polite and prompt with our requests.

Came here for dinner on saturday. Choose this place because it is a gret place to meet, the location is accessible, the parking great and the ambiance friendly.

They do not take reservations on the weekends, but we still got our seats immediately (upstairs). The waitress J was polite, attentive and helpful, always refilling water, clearing the table of used plates and recommending drinks, food and dessert.

THe w/c and the restaurant were very well kept - clean and uncluttered.

I ordered a drink (not bad) and cheese bread as an appetizer ... both were good. My main course was the chicken and ribs w/ BBQ sauce. Both the chicken and the ribs were a bit burnt and both were also very dry. Even applying the BBQ sauce on it could not save the meal, I would say the best part of the meal was the french fries 8-0... definitely not worth the value here. I know what you are going to say ... the Keg is about steaks/prime rib ... but I had that the last time I was here and wanted to try something different. I had the Apple crumble for dessert - it was sufficient, but not the best I have had.

Overall, the meal cost me 50 bucks ... the ribs and the chicken are better at the Cactus Club, the drinks are also larger there. But the location and ambiance is better at the Keg (Granville Island).

Dropped by Sunday night for a late meal. It was quiet inside but still took a minute or so for them to have us seated, right at the back corner of the room.

We skipped the entrees tonight and went straight for the appies and sides; the Ahi Tuna, Scallops and Bacon, Hot Crab Dip and a side of Sweet Potato Fries and finished off with a few desserts. This location also seems to have consistent inconsistencies in cooking their red meats, usually severely underdone, even for my liking. Overall the sides and appies were good as expected with a couple of small pickings - the tortilla chips for the hot dip was coated with oil, and the crostini for the Ahi Tuna was like a mash of powdery, dry breadcrumbs. The best part of the desserts was the gooey, dense type brownie, while the mousse and tartufo was mediocre at best (the tartufo missing the key element of the fruit filled centre).

Our server was fantastic and checked up on us frequently. Well mannered with excellent etiquette he didn't rush us out and lowered his service standard for only ordering starter items at a red meat restaurant.

Good location, but Keg might want to rethink using "steakhouse" in their title as it seems to be a misnomer of sorts, serving up beef sometimes so rare it still has a bell on it.

Order ahi tuna appeitizer and prime rib, but the server informed me both were sold out, but offered a free entree of any choie. Which was a nice surprise. I had the rib eye, which was juicey and cooked to medium rare perfection. The dark ambiance was calming and soothing - fitting for something who just had a 9oz steak. Solid service and food.

First of all we did not make reservation because they did not take any. It was quiet and not busy at all but there was no one single table that could accommodate nine of hungry runners. We had to move two small round stool type tables together OURSELVES at a corner. Congested and not conducive to any intimate conversation. Inexperienced and inconsiderate waitress as we had to ask for water. Excuse me we came in our running shorts, tops and shoes!!! We ordered three sliders (miniature burgers), two Caesar salads, two pasta dishes, one chicken stripes and two Prime Ribs and few glasses of red wine. No room for all these dishes to be placed on two small table tops. Keg size (14 oz) prime rib was not up to par. Slightly larger than the small size and not worth the extra money really. Know all prime rib is pre-cooked and could not expect it to be piping hot but still both orders were Luke warm and looked exactly same doneness. Waitress needed to be asked many many times for water, coffee refills, bread and even the dessert menu. She was too way ‘busy’ chatting elsewhere. Nothing extra special about the food or ambience or service. Most of us gave less than 10% tips and frankly that was too much already.

I have a friend that raves about how good the food is at the Keg on Granville Island. I've heard how fantastic the steak & prime roast beef, and wish I was with her on those nights.
I give 10 thumbs up to the waiter, who never gave up asking me how my Prime Rib meat turned out, and would return with it cooked more each time. I was impressed that he didn't try to avoid me, and offered other dishes to this meal that wasn't cooked very well. I started losing my appetite by the 3rd try, trying to get my beef to medium, and both my server & manager tried to make sure if they could do anything better. Thumbs up with customer service.

The Prime rib was disasterous from the get go, undercooked, almost raw It could crawl off my plate, and very fatty. When I asked my server if I could get it more cooked, it was no problem. Each time, my prime rib would come back a little more cooked, still very red inside, and didn't taste as it was cooked very well. When it came back again by the third try, I had lost my appetite, and chalked it up to off night for the kitchen staff. I've never been big on The Keg, other than West Van Location, but each time I eat Steak or red meat, I keep having the meat not cooked right. Tonight was one of those Keg experience with red meat not cooked properly.

I will have to try this location at another time, if anything, the staff is friendly towards customers and this particular server really cared how my meal turned out. Positive experience with the staff I will remember, not the food.

I came here with people from my work and all expenses were paid for ..... wooo hoooo!!! I didn't abuse it though.

I've never had a "French Onion Soup" before so I tried that for an appetizer. I don't know how it's supposed to taste or even look like so I don't know how to rate that. It tasted just fine to me but I wouldn't order it again because it's not my thing but it didn't taste bad or anything.
The steak was great as always. "New York Peppercorn" - medium-well.
Service was good and we were placed right by the fireplace. I wasn't really paying attention to the decorations and ambiance but it seem fine to me.
I would come back here but I won't because this particular location is an inconvenience for me .... but it still gets 4 out of 5!!

Restaurant was very busy and we didn't have a reservation so we were seated in the pub section with dinner menu's. Waitress was very slow to take our drink order, took other tables who were seated after us first. After taking our order she did promptly bring it to the table and when we realized one glass of wine had gone bad she quickly replaced it with wine from a new bottle no questions asked.
Food was decent, pub food fair. The Lobster sauce on chicken was nice, although rich. We split a main dinner which was more then enough food for two people. We also shared the calamari for appi'. It was ok, your usual fried calamari. The dijon salad was also ok, but mainly a bunch of largely cut tomatoes on boxed lettuce.
Ambience, the decor was tasteful and quiet. We had a nice window seat which was great for quiet conversation.
