Reviews of Upper Keg Restaurant & Bar (Restaurant)

Valerie Prendergast

Came here because of the reviews, and was not disappointed! I ordered the butter chicken as it was recommended by so many, and it was truly some of the best butter chicken I’ve had. So flavorful and delicious. The kitchen is open concept in the middle of the restaurant and we watched the chefs breading the chicken; made to order. Everything is extremely fresh. The chefs are genuine, friendly men who checked on us frequently and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. My friends and I will definitely be back!

What a hidden gem! Absolutely fantastic, attentive service! Fresh food, good quality, served hot with such friendliness and courtesy! Was torn between a few things of what to order so next time I am back in the area, will definitely return to try another dish! Thank you for the great eating experience! Cheers!

Wow soo good food

Aaron Duggan

A cozy and warm atmosphere full of fun, entertainment, and cheer. The patio has heating as you look on from the corner of a shopping lot. Accoustics sounding large and clear for any band blessed to play here. It has been newly renovated for its grand opening, and even the bathrooms are prestine by comparison to other bars ventured. The food is served very fresh, cooked pub style to perfection and your whim, because here they are very willing to accommodate personal taste, and prompt. Recurring customer's are welcome and remembered, the staff are professional, polite, and the prices are very bargain- under ten dollars and right choices, you may easily walk out of this place full, and content with portion size matching cost at a more than reasonable request for value, simply said, "it's worth it". The music and comedic entertainment are young and new professional local's, yet appealing to an older generation, as all ages are welcome to dine. Culture meets culture here with a humble bargain that brings true joy.

The service was really outstanding and the people who work there were very nice. The food was okay but all I had was the penne which is pretty basic. The one thing that really threw me off is the lack of COVID precautions. Only one worker was wearing a mask and the cooks were not wearing them. They were so nice that I couldn't bring myself to leave even though I probably should have. Seems like no one in the area is taking mask-wearing seriously either as other guests were walking around without them. Maybe when this pandemic is over I'll visit again but until then won't be because of the lack of precautions.

Have been in at least 6 times for breakfast and have loved the omelets.... Finally decided to go for dinner and again was not disappointed. I had the burger, my wife had the Mediterranean wrap, my son had the Shaker Sandwich (steak) and his girlfriend had the chicken fingers. All scratch made and all delicious. Whatever seasoning they use for their fries is so good. Real freshly cooked bacon in the Caesar salad. Fair price, amazing food and friendly service. Let's show them some love....

Great food. Decor.and service

Rachel L

We’ll be back to eat again. My wife and I both ordered the philly cheese steak and we both thought it was delicious. Our daughter ordered the Mac & cheese and my wife and I tried it as well, and we all thought it was also delicious. Price wasn’t bad, friendly and respectful service. Next time I may try the butter chicken.

Nicole Ross

My sister and I went there for lunch. Excellent food. Great service. All homemade. Highly recommend.

Tom Varghese

Wow. Stopped into this little restaurant to be greeted by a very welcoming staff, and cook!. The food was amazing something I would expect in a 7 star resort. I had the chicken penne pasta and honestly was blown away by the quality and care that went into the food....and the flavor blew my mind. My wife had the buffalo chicken wrap and home cut fries that were crispy and the wrap was full of flavor.......I will now be making this my new spot. A big thank you to the staff and chef of Grace kitchen for making my first of many experiences a spectacular one!!!!!

Vasant Sridhar

This is a hidden gem. We went here for dinner last night and our minds were blown. The quantity was humongous and the quality was top notch. The lady who serviced us was so much fun and super friendly. Also, as we were finishing our meal the chefs came out as a nice gesture and asked how we liked the food. To top it off we were served complimentary cheesecake. We'll go here quite frequently to try the other lip smacking items they have on their menu. A must visit for everyone.

This first review (below) was 9 months ago and since then I have recommended Grace Kitchen to many friends. I have had nothing but good reviews from those friends who ate there. Now in the midst of Covid19 I need to add that the take out food is equally great. If you have not ordered take out from Grace Kitchen please consider it! They need and deserve the business! Oshawa is fortunate to have this gem of a restaurant. We think this is a real "find", a place you can brag about discovering. Excellent menu, and everything we have tried has been not just good but superb. For example, the Butter Chicken Rice Bowl is as good as it gets. Meals prepared by a chef - not a fast order cook and taste the difference! We agree wholeheartedly with the other very positive reviews!

Deepak Hari

What a small Gem in the north end of Oshawa. The service, food and prices were all exceptional. We have been trying to support local businesses during COVID and this is one that I urge you to try out. Raj the owner and his team served us an excellent dinner after reading all the positive reviews. We will be returning again and letting anyone we talk to know about it.

Brittany Whalen

Just tried this place for the first time and it was amazing!! Staff is so friendly and the cooks are also welcoming (as they have an open face kitchen). Food was delicious! I got their special omelet with hashbrowns and bacon and it did not disappoint. Their breakfast potatoes are cut fresh in house and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back!

Best restaurant in Oshawa by a long shot. I've reviewed many places in Oshawa but this restaurant deserves some recognition. If i could give it 6 stars I would. Very accommodating chefs/owners. They really put passion into what they are cooking and you can taste it. Discovered it from a friend, and have brought many of my friends of different cultural backgrounds and they all agree the food tastes fresh, flavorful and unique. Kudos!

Adam J

There is always a warm welcome awaiting you when you walk through the door, and the food is outstanding!! Every bite is spectacular!! I can't wait to try everything on the menu!! And now they do SKIP THE DISHES

The best food I have ever had! After a very stressful work day, my husband and I went for dinner to Upper Keg, we were just blown by the food and service. Huge portions, best quality and taste. Too many options to choose, which will definitely make you want to visit again. Super fun and friendly staff, and the chefs were very generous to come out and ask if we liked the food, and also offered us free dessert. It has become our favorite spot already, and we will definitely visit often.

Gary Witney

Some pros some cons. Really tasty food with great portions, but a small narrow place with maybe not enough staff (i.e. a bit of a long wait time) Very friendly though! Seems to be frequented by chatty older adults.

Brad Fraser

SEE EDIT BELOW - I don't typically leave reviews, but I feel obligated in this case as I rely heavily on them myself when I choose where to eat and the reviews are what led to me discovering this restaurant. I've been to Grace Kitchen several times in the last couple months and I've tried about half a dozen different meals. I haven't been disappointed yet. The service and food are both excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. I'd highly recommend the butter chicken as well as the jambalaya as they are some of the best flavoured dishes I've ever had in my life. The menu items are similar to that of a lot of generic restaurants, but the quality of the food is exceptional and it is all made fresh which is what makes the difference between this restaurant and the typical chain restaurants. Make sure you try Grace Kitchen! EDIT - After several visits to Grace Kitchen, I returned again last night expecting the same delicious food that I always get. Unfortunately there are new guys working at the restaurant (supposedly temporarily). What was once a fantastic restaurant is now just another average place not worthy of a second visit, at least for the time being. The butter chicken was nothing like it was with the previous chefs and it was half the regular portion size, the burger was frozen, and the fries were inconsistent. Everything was previously fresh and now these new guys are cutting corners and ruining the restaurant’s reputation. I will not be returning unless I find out the original chefs have returned. Very disappointing.

Ginny March

My partner and I ordered off skip, the food was amazing and the prices for the quantity you get was beyond fair. You definitely won us over and we'll be there to dine in person soon!

Tim Deegan

What a great spot! We just ate here for the first time and will definitely be going back! I had the traditional breakfast and it was perfect! The eggs were delicious, home fries were cooked perfectly, it came with fresh fruit as well! My fiancée had the ginger chicken salad and was very happy with it as well. Chicken was cooked perfectly, and dressing was full of flavor. We also shared a pancake after they said that is something that they do well and people love. Did not disappoint! I can honestly say that this was the best pancake I've ever had at a restaurant, maybe even ever... (sorry mom)... It was delicious! The staff was great, and the chef came out to check and see how we liked the food too. It's tucked in the corner of the plaza so make sure you do not miss it! You'll be happy you went!

Nisha Sachdeva

Delectable food and amazing service! Both Shelly & Raj ensure that you are well taken care of. We ordered a well done Newyork steak and a beyond meat veggie burger. Both were good. Also have a huge selection to cater to the South Asian palette!

There are so many things that sound delicious) Hands down the best meal we have had from a restaurant in a long while. I would 100 percent recommend trying them out if you haven't already.

The food was amazing, we had pan-fried Salmon and penne rose pasta, and they gave us a couple of cheesecakes as a gift since my wife is expecting.

Palaniappan Solaippan

good food delivered by Uber eats however I've noticed the pricing is a bit off... for instance you can get a steak for $6 but a tiny Slice of factory made cheesecake costs $8... Weird. One other small thing was using sticky tape to wrap the napkins around the cutlery just meant the napkin got torn to shreds... Otherwise very tasty.

Christina Robinson

Wow! What a hidden gem! My family and I (party of 9) went here tonight to celebrate my mothers birthday and we all were very impressed. The menu is HUGE!!! They have something that everyone would like. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions are massive and the prices are very reasonable. They even gave my mother a complimentary slice of cheesecake as they sang Happy Birthday to her. Our server was top notch! She was very friendly and professional. We couldn't have asked for better service. All in all it was an excellent experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great meal and doesn't want to spend an arm and a leg doing so. I will definitely come back.

Just stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. Ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. Warning: this sandwich could feed a small family! 2 pieces of chicken, tomato, bacon, cheese, lettuce, coleslaw - all between a bun! My partner had their burger - just about as big! Food was great, looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes.

A hidden ???? gem. This was my first time here, never knew it existed. I came to use the ATM before going to breakfast elsewhere and was impressed. The decor is fresh, clean, minimalistic, good coffee, very attentive owners and waitress. I'm doing the paleo diet and asked them to hold the home fries and toast and they substituted for mushrooms, peppers and a half fried tomato ????. The steak ???? and eggs ???? were totally on point, cooked to perfection. A fair portion of fresh fruit was squeezed onto the plate to round out this inexpensive brekky. I'll definitely be coming back here again.

Ordered tonight for take out for my fiance and I. We both got a burger combo with fries, drinks, etc. I was so pleasantly surprised by their customer service. We had a small issue with our order because of allergy and the manager drove us a complete new order himself. It was still piping hot when he got here and we are so grateful for the extra trip as we originally ordered through skip the dishes. Also got a free slice of cheesecake for spending over $25. Food was delicious. Would recommend and will return.
