This is one of those classic little places in Kingston that you come across and decide to try, they are all hit and miss and you sometimes don't know what it will be like from day to day. We had a nice group of four in here and we loved it this particular night

The food standard was fine here and consistent with the other Kegs I have been too, but while the service was ok, it seemed to lack that little bit more personal and polished touch that I have come to know at other Kegs. There seemed to be a lot of college kids working here, so the polished part may not... More

This was valentine day outing as we both work on that day. The wait to be seated was very short and our table was allright. The meal was simply put, Delicious as always. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a good start to a great evening.

Last weekend my husband and I had another fantastic dinner at the Kingston Keg which remains our favourite for dinner. As it was a Saturday night we were unable to make reservations the previous day. To that end we tried to arrive by 5:00 p.m.to get a table. However, we were told that there would be a wait and directed... More

We had not visited the Keg for awhile and were in the mood for a nice steak. While we found the experience adequate, my steak was overcooked and tough, and we found the atmosphere dark and depressing. I have enjoyed better steaks at other restaurants in this city - the Keg has sort of become the run-of-the-mill alternative. It seems... More

best steaks around- which is typical of every keg across the country! but why don't they all have the fantastic salad bars- although why you would want all you can eat salad and then to chow down on a huge heart stopping steak is beyond me! but great for a mixed crowd with calorie conscience members along side meat and...

I have eaten here a couple of times and hopefully will not eat here again. No choice sometimes because of business clients desire for this restaurant. I ordered the New York strip with peppercorn sauce that I was told would be on the side of the plate and not on top of the steak. Of course it was all over... More

The Keg has a usual very good food and the service is very friendly. It was very dark and I just don't like the location. We had a reservation for 7PM and had to wait for 15 minutes at the bar before the table was ready. I would give it a 3.5 in total
