The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Tempe

This place hit the spot! I must have passed this place a hundred times and never tried it but I missed out. Hostesses were super friendly and welcoming! The server Ethan was super friendly and gave us the low down on the menuWe started with tuna tar tar which was so delicious! Tar tar can be a hit or miss but this tasted fresh with no sketchy fishy smell. The bread that came out was warm and BANGING! I have a soft spot for warm bread The iceberg salad was good, basic but super crispy lettuce! The Caesar salad that my friend got looked like it had a LOT of dressing on it. Lol Now the main course... the filet mignon which surprisingly came wrapped with BACON! I've seen this done before and not turn out that good. But this turned out excellent! The bacon was cooked perfectly around and the filet mignon was a great cut cooked perfectly medium rare and very tender. The veggies also were delicious.I wish we had room for desert but this time we had to pass I would recommend coming back to this place!

Well, here is my honest review. Bottom line, I'm a larger guy. My party of 6 got put in a booth. I didn't fit. The whole party had to slide the table over a couple inches just so I was suffocating being crammed into the booth. Even then, it was still tight. I'm not huge, but think NFL offensive lineman. I'm a big guy. The whole thing was incredibly embarrassing. I'm wanted to just leave I was so embarrassed. Luckly my sister and father got me to stay. Even them, normal size people, agreed the booths were tight. The staff did nothing to help. They didn't offer a different table or anything. Honestly the food was fine. Nothing super impressive. Not to mention I couldn't enjoy any food as I was trying to eat as fast as I could so we could leave. Overall, it was a super embarrassing experience. Had a staff member stepped in and offered a different table or at least acknowledged the problem I would have really respected it. But it didn't happen. In the end, I rushed to finish and my family followed suit cause they knew I wasn't comfortable. We bought less than was expected and won't be going back unless they remodel the tables. The food might have tasted better if I was holding back tears from being so embarrassed in front of family member.

Steak so rare it was eating the vegetables on my plate Cocktail was warmServer did not recommend anything, check in with us or upsell anything

I have been coming here since I was 12 so over 15 years now and this place never fails to be 10/10. Service is always phenomenal and attentive. The ambiance is low lighting and very intimate- it's not a very loud restaurant so absolutely perfect for a date or special occasion. I love ordering their prime rib or filet mignon! I always get the mushrooms Neptune and you should too- just trust me. Their seasonal menu is a bit of a hit or miss but you'll never go wrong with their steaks. The chicken is pretty good too if you don't feel like beef.

Came here to celebrate my fiancé's birthday weekend. We stayed in downtown Phoenix and after our activities through the morning, we made it here to meet with family for a nice steak dinner. Overall, the service was relatively prompt and attentive. It was a pretty casual vibe and overall atmosphere was nice. We ordered a few appetizers to get us started with the bread service. We got the shrimp cocktail, calamari, caesar salad, and lobster bisque as far as starters. The calamari was complemented with two sauces that gave it flavor since the app wasn't seasoned at all as far as the breading. Aside from the breading being flavorless and a bit loose, it was alright because the sauces came on the side to dip. The lobster bisque was more on the watery side, but flavor was quite good overall with tiny bits of lobster pieces. Our main entrees as far as steaks go were good and finished to preferred temperatures. The side veggies were a bit uneven in the way they were cooked, but still good with our sides of mashed potatoes. The birthday dessert was a mocha cake slice that our family enjoyed and was able to finish altogether because it was quite big. Overall, we would definitely come back if we were in the area because prices were moderate for what you get, and the casual ambiance was nice to bring family!

For the record the food here is good. The service though....We stopped in for dinner last Monday night (4/1/24). Website says they close at 10pm so when we arrived at 8:45pm we were a little put off by the lack of hospitality from the manager. There was a sign posted that the dining room was closed but the bar was open. After staring at us waiting to see what we were going to do I finally broke the awkward silience and asked the manager if they were serving food in the dining room? "Uh, yeah". Ok...we helped ourselves to a table and were helped by a server there. The manager's lack of service was too bad as the food was pretty good. Would I return? Maybe, but hopefully this guy gets some training.

I was craving a blackened chicken Caesar salad like nothing else so tried to do some google searching and found this spot. Opted to sit at the bar and guy was very friendly!The lobster bisque for $13 didn't have any lobster chunks in it at all... not one. Ok flavor. The Caesar salad was big, but the thin piece of chicken to be added cost $14. Good flavor but wow on the prices for what is given...

I don't think I have ever had a bad meal at The Keg. The food and service are always on point.

My Wife and I decided on the Keg for our weekend dinner date as we'd not visited this location in a very, very long time, as our most visited Keg is in Chandler, and honestly while at the Tempe Marketplace, I was in the mood for an old-fashioned, good, tasty, juicy, big-city, fancy and well-prepared chunk of medium-rare beef! We've been visiting the Keg for years, one of the best National (actually International) steakhouses around. We do have to thank British Columbia for its being founded in 1971 North Vancouver. This is one of those 'ay' thank you moments. We stopped at the bar before our reservation time and began by enjoying beverages with my wife requesting a tasty Orange Slice Martini with Absolut mandarin, triple sec, orange, lemon, and soda and I having my favorite Martini, Grey Goose, extra dry with two olives and two onions (perfectly done, except the cocktail onions were sweet, that's a no-no). As usual, from the outstanding fresh baked table bread to dessert, the menu items decided on were remarkable. I knew what I was here for and decided to pig out on an order of their always terrific and perfectly prepared Lobster Bisque, with a magnificent rendering of butter, just the right amount of onion and celery in a creamy potage - and I remembered from our last visit, I had found it short of Sherry, consequently asked our Server Mason, for a tad more and got it. Needless to say, the pies de resistance was the lump Lobster atop that made this Potage fait d'un coulis de crustacés so amazing. And my main consisted of my all-time Keg fave, Sirloin Oscar, a 6oz tender medium rare Sirloin garnished with tender and tasty asparagus, capped with excellent crab and over it is the compellingly creamy béarnaise sauce - Wow! My wife's 7oz medium Filet Mignon Classic with Oscar was equally fascinating. By the time we reached the desert stage, we were well satisfied and delighted, but we weren't finished until we both shared an extravagant and delicious serving of their Chocolate Cake! As I've said in the past, our regular visits continue to be super enjoyable. Keep up the terrific work guys. Your attention to detail, hospitality and great food - especially but not limited to steaks is to be commended. Bon appétit.

I had some family visiting from abroad and they wanted to have steak. So I had been wanting to try this place and thought this would be perfect. Upon arrival and entering into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by a nice young lady that took our information for a table. We were sat within.5 minutes. Our waiter, Rowan, immediately stopped by and took our drink order and offered us a review of the menu and selections. I ordered the Prime rib (10oz) classic (which comes with a side and choice of salad). I opted for the cauliflower mash as my side along with the wedge salad and he brought out bread for the table. Our meal was delivered fairly quickly. The prime rib was really good, seasoned well and the perfect (rare to med/rare and the cauliflower was good too. The place appeared to be clean and all of the servers/runners were nice. Our waiter, Rowan was really friendly and professional. He checked on us regularly and the general manager; I think his name was Chris, even stopped by to check on us and the other tables. I would highly recommend this place, I know I will be back.
