The Keg Steakhouse + Bar

I had the Blue Cheese Fillet and it was amazing, my husband had the Peppercorn Steak and as usual it was great. The service was great and we had lots of attention. The beer service was a little slow but we run into that everywhere so no big surprise.

The Keg is our «go-​to» comfort food restaurant. Consistently great quality food and one of the few places you can actually get a rare steak nowadays. Excellent prime-​rib (I can think of only one restaurant in Tacoma which beats them but I still prefer the Keg because they actually have horseradish with some kick).
Fresh-​squeezed cocktails make all the difference – definitely give their greyhounds a shot (Keg Size is a no-​brainer). They use quality well liquors so you don’t have to upgrade just to avoid a hangover.
Lobster Summers rule! There really isn’t anything I’ve ever tried at the Keg I didn’t like – it’s just an all around good steakhouse.

2 poor visits in a row, prime rib tasted like it was days old, eww. Third time wont happen. I lament for their 1980’s quality prime rib

Always a good experience. They know how to cook a steak. Had a very pleasant birthday dinner, quiet mid-​week. Last month was a Friday night, packed but no delay.

Food is delicious. Waiters are intelligent when it comes to their menu. If you want a good steak, come here.

Great service and the manager stopped by to ask about dinner. Only once have I ever been less than impressed. It’s a bit pricey but the happy hour is pretty good.
I suggest prime rib with a u jus and twice baked potato!!!
The waitresses here stay here. Good to see the familiar faces.

I ate here last week and I thought it was really good. I liked the environment and the price was descent. I would definitely come back again.

We hit the Keg again with three other couples for the first time in a couple of years. We’ve gotten consistently good prime rib there over the years, and the service has been excellent. The «dark leather» atmosphere is great for a steakhouse. Unfortunately, most everything was a little bit off this time.
The hostess greeted us half-​heartedly and showed a moment of annoyance when I gave her the wrong name for the reservation. The whiskey I ordered could have fit in a thimble. Charge me more, but give me a decent portion! The wedge salad was fine, except for the cherry tomatoes, which were tough and tasteless. The biggest disappointment was the prime rib. Although cooked perfectly to order (medium rare), it was much thinner than we have ever had there with large areas of fat. The accompanying prawns were slightly overdone, which made eating them off the skewer a bit challenging.
Our server did an excellent job, but when I told him privately that the food was not up to their usual standard, he did not offer to do anything about it. More than an insincere apology would have been nice.
We’ll go back. We’ve had too many good experiences there not to try it again.

This place is nice. The steak was perfectly done, and the service was great! The manager even came over and talked with us for a while. The atmosphere is a little dark… perfect for a romantic date.
I’ll come here again…

Went there for drinks and appetizers. Sat on the bar patio and enjoyed a decent (not bad, but not amazing) dirty martini. Nachos with spicy chicken were fantastic!. The chicken was very juicy and tender, as were the meat popsicle sticks. Staff was very friendly and attentive. My husband had a Redbull and Vodka and each one was stronger than the next. We would definitely go back.

Lindsey you are a queen amongst thieves. she one of the bartenders. she will keep you amused and keep your drinks from hitting bottom. I love the home made chips (free and tasty) good steak house. it’s a little dark in the Resturant but understandable. good drinks and like there happy hour. a bit pricy but you get great service. not just from your waiter but all help to keep this place enjoyable. the music is faint in the background not overpowering. take it from me good food better service and cuties like Lindsey make this place worth wild. three dollar 24 ounce beers I’m in. first round on me you get the rest

I went here with a coupon for a free birthday meal, which was pretty sweet. The service was lovely. When I ordered my steak rare, the waitress was kind enough to warn me that they cook them quite rare, which I was more than fine with! Rarer the better. The veggies were okay, grilled and still with integrity, the potatoes were good. All more than decent food, and the crème brûlée my Man and I split was very delicious.
So, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Good service, good food. Maybe a bit pricey. But, overall, a nice place for a steak.
I had to take a couple points off for the awful bathroom. I expected it to match the nice décor, but it was very ugly and cramped.

I’m a fan of the Keg. I’ve yet to have a negative experience here. The staff is always pleasant and I’m tended to without a prompt. The steak is great. Prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. The Keg sized drinks have me wondering if they’re worth it. I always seem shorted in my Old Fashioned. Happy hour is the best reason to visit. Mushrooms Neptune is awesome.

Love this place! Really good steaks for the price, the staff is friendly, I know most by first name! I spend most of my time in the bar, it’s got several tv’s to watch your favorite sporting event and is very spaciouc even seating in front of the fireplace.
The food is fantastic and timely. Steaks always cooked to order and the quality of meat is very good compared to places similar.

I’m shocked at the poor reviews. I love this place. Steak is perfection, the garlic mashed potatoes are heavenly and the desserts are bigger than my head. I know I shouldn’t really rave about salad at a steak place, but seriously, the spinach salad with goat cheese, cranberries and walnuts is my favorite salad ever.
As far as steak places in this price range in Tacoma go… it doesn’t get better than this.

«so a vegan walks into a steak house»…
i know, sounds like this could turn into an epic joke. I was dragged here by my dad after he had to «endure» quickie too vegan diner. not that he didn’t enjoy the food there… the atmosphere (pictures of bob and ziggy marley adorning the walls… Rastafarian…he made a comment about a marijuana leaf that he saw) was not his style… in fact he «disliked it»…so…he got to choose the next place… keg steak house.
when i arrived i was super skeptic… i obviously don’t eat steak and i actually don’t eat a whole lot of salads (unless they’re super amazing salads). i decide to use the age old vegan trick of saying that i am allergic to eggs and dairy. the waitress is very understanding and runs off to fetch the allergen guide. perfect! i don’t have to waste a bunch of time asking questions and frustrating everyone, SCORE!
i thumb through this helpful little book and find a bunch of random veggie sides that i can eat and an appetizer.
now, i wouldn’t say that this was the perfect meal by any means. however, the waitress was friendly and helpful, the food didn’t kill me… it was actually pretty decent, the atmosphere was clean and comfortable and my dad had a chance to eat his steak (and get revenge).

Amy’s review hit it on the head — the typical cookie-​cutter suburban steakhouse chain. Nothing really to write home about, to borrow the cliché. Most meals will run a diner 30 – 40, depending on whether alcohol or sides are served. The prime rib was fatty and luke warm. Beer selection is limited (for the Northwest). Service seemed harried. I wouldn’t go back for the price.

Ah the Keg. Your typical suburb neighborhood franchise steak house that’s nice enough to go for a date or girls night out or after grad dinner. Better than outback, and probably Sizzler (i’ve never tried it). I’ve been to multiple locations including in Canada, and must say it’s popular everywhere. Service is attentive and great, atmosphere can vary, I find this particular location often noisy, with screaming kids. My parents went back recently and said there was a humongous group with a lot of kids and it was just chaotic and total mess; they are never going back.
I’ve been to this location wayyy too many times especially for lunch and found the service is always great, but the food inconsistent. I almost always ordered the salmon and sometimes it would be amazing, others puke-​inducing. It’s like gambling. with your lunch. which i refuse to do anymore.
Anyways, I’ve seen better food, atmosphere, deco, service at other Keg locations, however this one somehow always seem to have wailing and misbehaved children with parents who don’t give a shit. Maybe it’s because they’re divorced and want to make it up to their kids by spoiling them, I don’t know, either way in my book a restaurant goes down a lot if the other people there are being rude, loud and selfish. Keep the noise down or weed out the crowds and I might go back.

Possibly the worst dining experience of my life.
When I received my meal, there was a strand of a dish towel in my mashed potatoes, which I discovered after about my third bite. When I summoned a waiter, showed him the problem, he said they’d take care of it. Ten minutes later, when I asked where my replacement meal was, the waiter said he thought I was done and didn’t need a replacement. The manager then came to his aid but reiterated the same point. I would think if a meal was barely started, you wouldn’t even ask, it would be replaced.
Needless to say, I will not be visiting this place again.

What can I say about the Keg? It has great food, great drinks, and really good service.
I recommend the peppercorn steak and whiskey. That is a personal choice but they tend to go well together.
They cook your steak to order and I have never had a bad cut in the many times that I have gone there.
In addition to the great steaks the bread is also a major plus. give it a shot as there are very few Kegs left in the US.
