We regularly visit Canada, from the uk, to visit family and one of the things we always do is have a family meal at The Keg. The 3 cheese garlic butter, the garlic bread, shrimps, mushrooms and the steaks here are just amazing. I had the halibut this time too which was just cooked perfectly. Our waitress was lovely and attentive and nothing was any bother. We all loved our meal and will be sure to return again next time. Thank you.

The eggs Benedict were quite delicious and lots of variety. The omelet is average. The strawberry chip pancakes were not appetizing at all. Too sweet and artificial tasting. Was very busy and they managed quick efficient services.A bit pricey. $60 for 4 ppl

Came here under a friends recommendation who absolutely loves this place. We both got eggs Benedict with their traditional home fries. Price was fantastic and the potatoes were AMAZING. Absolutely loved the breakfast potatoes and would recommend highly. The Benedict was good but not the best Iâve ever had. Staff was quick, kind. The food came fairly fast. Would recommend overall.

Greetings all, We have lived in Ancaster for many years and enjoy the breakfast at this venue a great deal.Consistently good service, good food, and comfortable atmosphere. If you want a chain restaurant there's plenty to choose from nearby...and we say, don't waste your time and money. My favourite is the Monte Cristo sandwich, however all choices the family makes are enjoyed. Keep up the good work Sammy's!

Whether sitting no outside on the patio during the summer or dining inside the menu is rich with selection. We love the ambience and always enjoy ourselves with their options they provide. Huge fan of the gourmet twist on Italian food with the spinach pesto linguine being a favourite.

Nothing fancy - just tucked in the corner of a strip mall. No special ambiance, but comfy seating and lots of TV's to watch the game.Food was good - flatbread pizza was piled high with toppings and the perogies were delicious. The flight of beers and ciders were a steal - 3x 10 oz glasses for $12.Gets a bit noisy with a big crowd during a game, but maintains a good neighborhood vibe.

Have you ever watched a movie where the upset patrons steam over certain tables being waded on as if they were the most important people on earth while the observers get extremely poor service? Yes? That was us last night. FOODThe food was absolutely SPECTACULAR. I started with the daily soup that had some sort of coconut in it and Oh. My. God. I would have had 4 more bowls of it. Iâd love to get my hands on this recipe and try to make it myself. My husband had the stone fruit salad and he said it was like â4 different meals at onceâ with flavour popping out from every bite. My main was the steak which in my opinion wasnât anything ultra special, the sauce was fabulous but the meat was, well, meat. Hubby had the wild boar and loved it. They also had a bread that was made from discarded grains from a microbrew across the street. It was fabulous and everyone was raving to their servers. However, this is where the experience faulted BIG TIME. The dinner began with us being placed at a single table two tables down from the bar, in the middle of the room while the outer ring of tables sat vacant. Our table was similar to sitting in the middle of a busy hallway and was quite annoying to be honest. We asked to be moved and the manager was quick to allow it with no fuss. Our server was very, very, very slow. When we were seated there was a good 5 minute wait until we were asked about drinks with only 3 other tables filled. After we made our drink order it was close to 15 minutes before they came. *We could see the bar... it was empty*. There was yet another wait between the drinks and ordering the apps and mains. The apps came and the drinks sat empty for the *entire time* it took us to finish them and the mains were delivered from the kitchen from a young man and our server, or any of the other 3 buzzing about didnât stop in until half way through our meals. Our server noted âI noticed you were looking at the wine menuâ. This was easily 25 minutes prior. Our mains sat empty on our table for another 10 minutes, with empty wine glasses and no one stopped by. We finally decided we had enough as the service was atrocious and asked for the bill. That too took 10 minutes while they prepared my âbirthdayâ plate (two chocolates and two macaroons). This may sound picky and minor, but hereâs the kicker. I counted the number of times and servers that hit the âregularâ tables. The table near the bar against the wall was 9 times by two different servers in the span it took us to get one visit. The group of 4 at the round window table was 11 visits by 2 servers and staff. The couple against the wall near the entrance, at least 8. They were clearly regulars or perhaps worth more money than we were to the restaurant and it was VERY clear. If you want good food, come to this place but donât expect a ten out of ten unless of course youâve been there before. I made the choice to support local instead of heading out to Kitchener to a competitive high end restaurant. Should have just made the drive. Enjoy, folks!

The patio for this place is so cute and cozy - but it was a rainy day so we sat indoors. Itâs a small interior, so it wasnât possible to escape all the fussy baby noises. Not the restaurantâs fault! But itâs condensed seating, so just beware if youâre wanting a romantic experience that it may be affected. Itâs a cool, old timey interior with loads to look at, but per the other review I read of here, it could use a cleaning/dusting and there are a lot of flies everywhere. Sweet potato fries were on point! But the quesadilla was so soggy on the bottom it wasnât much fun, (probably microwaved to melt cheese). The service was average. Wine prices are very very high. $17 for a 9 oz of Stoneleigh is among the highest prices in the area - especially for a small pub. If I were in the area, Iâd pick Brassie Pub 10/10 times. (Also, the ceiling seriously looked like itâs buckling. Kids running upstairs sounds resonate in the dining area.)

Having been at several of their affiliated "Mill" restaurants in Elora and Cambridge, we rate their park like setting and their creek/waterfall as most charming! The service is tops, The food is most tantalizing. Overall we had a most enjoyable lunch and will return if we find ourselves in the vicinity.
