| - I just had one of the best dining experiences I've had in a LONG time. We went to the Keg with their birthday club coupon (see instructions below) and had a great meal for a steal of a price. I feel like I got away with something to good to be true, so much so, that I want to go back to make a deposit in my karma bank.
First of all, Keg has a great happy hour that I always seem to forget about until I go there for dinner. This time, we remembered right as we were walking in and decided to sit in the bar for dinner (good decision #2, #1 was going there in the first place).
Briana was our server and she was great! Very friendly, the perfect balance of attentive but not overly so. Never seemed like we were annoying her with our "one more minute" or "on the side" requests. Nor, did she seemed bothered by the fact that we had the email birthday coupon for a free prime rib dinner ($23 value). The best part is you don't even have to get the prime rib, you can get anything you want want and they credit your check for the $23.
Happy hour is M-F 4-7 with a few $5 appetizers, half price wines by the glass, draft beers, and $3.75 Orange Crush Martinis (one of the best martinis ever!). The only thing is that HH is only in the bar or the patio. So, if you'll take a moment to connect the dots with me, I can have dinner in the dining area and pay full price for glass of wine, or I can eat dinner in the bar and get the wine for half price. Um, I think the answer is obvious.
Dinner was great. We both ordered from the seasonal crab menu. I got the mushroom and crab crusted sirloin and the birthday boy got the sirloin topped with crab and roasted red pepper sauce. Both came with a potato side (baked for me, mashed for him). Everything was cooked perfectly to our request and so delish!
Toward the end of my meal, I reached what I like to call the "point of no return." This is where there is not enough to take home, but just enough to push me over the edge of way too full if I eat it all. While I was just about to go in for it and stuff myself, Briana showed up to check on us. She easily made the decision for me and said "Take it home!" Maybe three to four bites of my sirloin left and she not only didn't make me feel like an idiot for wanting to save it, but she encouraged it. I heart her! Added half of the baked potato, a piece of the delicious soft bread, and the thick tomato slice garnish from the boys plate. Plenty for lunch tomorrow!
Oh, and one more thing I love about the Keg; Keg size glasses of wine. A nine ounce pour at a great price. Perfect for two people to each get one when they want a little more than one glass, but not quite enough to finish a whole bottle! And with the 1/2 price wines by the glass during happy hour, it's AMAZING!!
OK, here is what I think you need to do.
1 - go to kegsteakhouse.com and sign up for their newsletter (birthday club).
2 - check your email at the beginning of the month of your birthday.
3 - go to the Keg (with the coupon, if you can wait that long, or when ever you just want a good meal)
4 - sit in the bar, M-F, from 4-7, for happy hour drinks and appetizers.
5 - if you're still hungry, order dinner and eat in the bar area, getting the best of both worlds!
6 - don't forget about the draft beers for $3, the Keg size wine pours, and the ultimate Orange Crush Martini!!!
7 - rinse and repeat, I mean go back again and again . . .
I'm going to!
