Our family recently went to The Keg Steakhouse and Bar at the station in New Westminster. You might wonder why a blog called Cheapass in Vancouver starts off with a place like The Keg. Well, I had to buy a gift card for a fundraiser for my son plus it was our wedding anniversary and we needed a place where kids can go. So it is a “nice” affordable anniversary dinner. I tried their Winter Grill menu and had a Kansas City Strip – NY striploin (18 oz) with a side of mashed potato and a glass of Robert Mondavi “Woodbridge” Cabernet Sauvignon – Keg Size. Hey, it’s a celebration. Picky P decided on trying out their $28 Dine-out menu which includes baked goat cheese, 10 oz Prime-Rib steak with a baked potato side, and Billy Miner Pie for dessert. Now The Keg is pretty kids friendly and gives kids menu for children to draw on with crayons. For Big A, we ordered the BBQ Grilled Chicken with a Caesar salad. He likes salad. Little B was given the Keg Mini Burgers with fries. He likes fries. Both of them enjoyed lemonade which The Keg serve in little kid sized cup. All kid’s meals come with a veggie platter and ice cream. The service was great and everyone enjoyed their meal. We like to share our meal with each other. The baked goat cheese was warm with crushed almonds giving it an interesting blend of soft and crunchy. It goes great with the bread and tomato basil salsa. I considered my Kansas City NY steak nicely done with good texture and flavor. The prime rib was soft and wonderful with horseradish and the dip. I believe they have a bit of trouble with the Big A’s order. The Caesar salad appeared full size however the grilled BBQ chicken looking sad in a big plate with the BBQ sauce. Little B enjoyed his fries and that’s about it. The mini burgers were not dressed and plain. He likes it this way but I am not sure others would. We all enjoyed the Billy Miner Pie. I am not sure how we would have been able to finish it if we ordered two Dine-out orders.
The overall environment is like an old steakhouse with all the stuff that goes with that. There are two floors to this restaurant with the 2nd floor having the restrooms which are old and average cleanliness. We didn’t observe any infant changing facilities. There is some parking to the rear and a little to the front but I can imagine it being hard to fine if the place was crowded. We went on a Sunday evening so it wasn’t too bad. Will we go again? We like The Keg as an establishment but Picky P didn’t like the condition of this particular restaurant. Me, I enjoyed it overall but would worry about parking here if it gets crowded. The kids, they enjoyed it, but they enjoy most things…
