Friday night is usually date night for my husband and I without the kid. This weekend we decided to go to The Keg Steakhouse and Bar in Chandler near Chandler Fashion Center. This is our second time eating at The Keg (last time it was at Tempe Marketplace) and we enjoyed it just as much as last time. The steaks are very tasty and the service is fantastic!
We arrived a little early waiting for our friends to join us (which almost never happens), so we sat in the bar. I have to say that the bar was hopping! Yes, it was happy hour and the bar and bar tables were packed. Luckily they had really comfy chairs around the room that you could order from. The service in the bar was great, even though the room was practically full. I was a little hungry, so we started out with an appetizer. My husband has dubbed it the best garlic cheese bread ever! We will probably have to get it every time we go there, since it is so tasty.
We were pleased there was no waiting at 6:00 pm on a Friday night when our friends got there. The ambiance of the restaurant was very laid back and classy, just how we like it in Arizona. The waiters were all dressed up in normal steakhouse attire, which makes the restaurant feel a little more formal. We took our son last time and we had no issues with blending in with a toddler. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious. Their steaks are cooked just how you ask for it and have a fantastic flavor. This time my husband had a steak with mushrooms and a balsamic sauce, it was mouth-watering good. The steaks start from $20 and hamburgers starting at $11, with most Entrees starting around $15. The service was excellent. They had to refill our waters several times and they were always on top of it. They server bread at the table once you order and offered more bread once that was out. I know some places have changed to only bringing bread upon request, so it was nice not to have to ask for it. We lost track of time, so we were almost late for our movie, but all in all it took about an hour and a half to order, eat and pay.
Everyone ordered drinks, but I have to say the presentation was unique. My husband ordered a Vodka Red Bull and our friend ordered a Rum and Coke. They both came with the alcohol in a bar glass and the mix in on the side (Red Bull and Coke) as you can see in the picture. The drinks tasted good. They also feature freshly squeezed citrus drinks and the lemonade was tart, just how I like it!
I would recommend The Keg Steakhouse and Bar to friends and will definitely be going back!
