    I always go to the Keg for birthday celebrations. I usually order the same thing (for 35 years- 2-tail lobster dinner), but if not I can always rely on very good-tasting, consistent food. I rarely will risk spending good money going out for dinner and being disappointed. I can't say I've ever been disappointed with the Keg's food. Ever. Just me....

    Hadn't been to this location for years, so it was like coming home. Burger was good but the buns don't hold up with the stacked cheeseburger. They fall apart before you're finished. Fries were also skimpy for a $22 burger. The appy special, sizzling shrimp with grilled bread, on the other hand, was fantastic!

    The only disappointing thing is we came for appies and because of the cornstarch shortage limited types of appies were available. It would have been nice to have replacements until originals can be served again.

    We were in Victoria for a short get away and chose the Keg because we enjoy the Yaletown and Alberni Kegs in Vancouver. The Victoria Keg just didn't quite measure up. We were given a nice window table with the view of the water which we appreciated. We had two or three different wait staff people help us and kind of felt like we had fallen between the cracks. We both had the 6 ounce steaks and although they were done to our specification, they were tough and lacked flavour. The twice baked potatoes were overdressed and mushy. We chose a 9 ounce glass of Malbec each and were pleased with the $14.00 price tag, better value than some of the other restaurants we had been to. Overall would we return, probably yes as we are fans of the Keg in general. I know I am in a minority but I do not agree with dogs in restaurants unless on a patio and we had one seated at a table next to us.

    Kannen, (spelling) was an exceptional server. We were very impressed with his demeaner and overall personality. He was very knowledgeable about the menu selections and very attentive to our requests. Excellence! The meal was cooked to perfection. Our compliments to the chef! I will and have recommended the Keg on Fort Street and intend to return for a family dinner. Did I mention our family is over 25 people! Thank you for an overall amazing experience. Cheers, Sally & Geoff

    We had a delightful dinner. Our waiter, Daniel, was outstanding. Our dinner over all was very good. Our table had a view which I had requested. The sun was setting, which was ok with us, but bothered the lady at the table on the other side of the room, so we shut the blind for her. Also, at that same table was her husband, I presume, he coughed thru the whole time they were seated…extremely irritating and if I had any guts I would have told him to leave. My other option was to ask for another table but we had our drinks, view, and then they came. Oh well. Was not your fault.

    Took us 2.5 hours to receive our meals and 3 of the streaks were ordered medium rare, but came well done. Second time we have had an experience like this at the Keg on Fort. Go to the Keg on Quadra.

    The Keg is usually one of our favourite beef restaurants. So our poor dining experience at this Keg (while on holidays in Victoria) surprised us. We were quite disappointed to find out they were out of prime rib at 7pm. Isn't that what the Keg is famous for?!? The cheese toast was far too garlicky. My husband ordered fries with his steak and they looked (and tasted) like they had been sitting in a greasy pan for a week. Yuck! On the plus side, our steaks were cooked to perfection. Our server was very good and was clearly embarrassed at our disappointment. We will continue to eat at the Keg but not the Fort Street restaurant.

    Our Server was so attentive and kind. Took Celiac and egg allergy seriously so all at our table could enjoy. The table behind was quite noisy and appeared to be quite drunk, so made it hard to hear each other talk, but otherwise great experience.

    My wife and I have always enjoyed dining at the Keg. Unfortunately, this particular dining experience was terrible not just at the Keg but of any dining experience ever. I could not believe between the host and the waiter that neither one of them would think we would not mind sitting at a table, where the sun is glaring down on us and not only creating an extremely hot, uncomfortable spot but also blinding our eyes. At the Keg, I always order the prime rib because it's so juicy, fresh, and delicious but this prime rib was dry, tough, and tasted like it was cooked last week. On top of that, the fresh vegetables was anything but that. Just like the prime rib, the vegetables were dry, stale, and tasted like leftovers. My wife and I were there, hoping to have a wonderful meal, celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary but left with one of the most unpleasant dining experience ever. I may never go back to a Keg restaurant again, that's how turned off we were.

    Quality of food has gone downhill and the prices for a meal is out of touch to what they offer. Honestly it’s a chain restaurant for the amount you pay I would suggest to eat a local establishment. We went for my sons 15th bday dinner and he enjoyed his steak dinner. My husband and I each ordered the prime rib sandwich it was all fat with sautéed onions not sautéed enough and it was messy. The Bun was too soft and really nothing great about the sandwich. Just some boring cheddar cheese on it. Our daughter only had the calamari and it was overcooked (she had a hard time finding anything on the menu she wanted bc she didn’t want steak). Disappointed.

    Although I like salt, the amount of salt the Keg is still using in their meals is excessive. Salt can always be added to taste at the table. Please dial back the salt used in the kitchen - for everyone’s good health. Our server Ling was superb. Despite how busy it was, he made our experience feel very personal. The music was way too loud and practically deafening in the washrooms. Why? It’s already a loud restaurant.
