I'm switching the rating I gave this location based on the fact that I sent a letter in to let them know what happened on my last visit. I received a response from Customer Service within 24 hours saying the General Manager of the Keg or the Regional Manager from that location would be in touch with me.
When he called I let him know that everything was great it was just frustrating to go to a restaurant you've learned to rely on as having consistently flawless performance and find you can't have a conversation with your brother who is visiting you for the second time in three years. He assured me he is doing his best to deal with these sort of problems and offered to send me a gift card. I refused telling him it wasn't my end-game to get free food and that I just wanted to let them know since I would want to know if I ran a restaurant of the same reputation as the Keg possesses. But he insisted on sending me a gift card so I am grateful that it's so important for them to make it up to those customers who don't have a first-class experience at their restaurants. I will redeem the gift card at the same location and write another update when the time comes. Hopefully when that time comes I will be able to come back here and give them that fifth star I would like to be able to give all Keg locations.
Thanks Ariel G. for suggesting to write them about the issue. -

I never thought I would see the day. The day when I had to give The Keg a two star rating. But honestly this place was a disgrace to Keg Restaurants everywhere.
It wasn't the food. It wasn't the service. It wasn't the atmosphere in one sense but in another sense it was all the atmosphere.
This was a Keg. Fancy diggs. Friendly service. Great food. But the loudest kitchen ever! What makes it worse? We were seated right next to the kitchen.
The workers in the kitchen were so loud that we couldn't even talk over dinner. It was one of those meals where you just scarf your food down as quickly as possible and look at eachother like deer in headlights everytime a person at the table tries to talk. It was impossible to hear even accross the table. I understand how kitchens work and that they are busy and sometime loud places. I am even understanding most of the time about the noise level coming from a kitchen. But this was beyond reasonable. The kitchen alone ruined the Keg experience. Which is very frustrating when you get the bill back and it's $150. Ugh.
Next time I want to go to the Keg I'll make the trip to the Mansion location downtown which is so peaceful and epitomizes the experience I envision when I plan on eating at a Keg.
We went here because my friend has a major fetish for Japanese girls in maid outfits apparently. It turns out... no, just no. *sobs*
The funniest thing about this is that I gave this place five stars purely based on the quality of their food. The pizza is f'ing fantastic! I originally bought pizza here because my sister was on a hockey tournament and the team ordered pizza from Pizza Nova for the team and I had some and though "you know what, this is plain ass pizza but it's good, and apparently cheap". I realized, "hmm I think there is a Pizza Nova location around my house, I wonder how it is?"
So the next time I wanted pizza I called and asked about their specials and found out about their $9.99 walk-in special which is a large pepperoni and due to the restaurants proximity; perfect for me!
The other great thing about the pizza here is that you don't feel guilty for eating it. It's not overly greasy or anything like that. In fact in actually might convince you that you've made a healthy choice in eating it due to it's lack of greasiness. Plus your getting dough, marinara, cheese, and pepperoni; carbs, vegetables, dairy, and meat! It's like an all-encompassing food choice! GO PIZZA!
In conclusion, this place is great for those nights where you'd just too pooped to make food and then clean up afterwards. And it's not too expensive either ringing in at only $11.29 after taxes!

The location was nice. And thats about all this place had going for it.
Before I start: note that I had the buffet and everything I say from here on out is about that experience.
The service was absolute garbage. We seen our waitress twice: once to seat us, and once to take our money. I hate this custom of tipping we have here in North America! It's stupid! If you don't earn your tip, you don't get a tip. The way I do it is I start with whatever I expect 25% of my bill to be (thats generous) and then every time something happens where the service appeared to be lacking I take off 25 cents. Following that rule this meal would have earned the waitress a whopping $3.50 but I found myself asking "where the hell is our waitress" so often that there was no tip left to leave. She should have been paying me for bearing such terrible service! But when I think about this now I wonder if, due to the fact that we were having the buffet if they sort of leave you to yourself. Either way I needed a refill of water really bad.
What was supposed to be a hangover breakfast after a night of 151 and coke, and tequila shots, we needed A LOT of water and good hangover food (which breakfast food usually is).
This food was dry and tasteless for the most part. The best thing on the buffet were the "potato puffs" which were obviously dumped in a pan from a McCain Tater Tot's bag.
I think the best part of my experience here was listening to the little girl argue with the balloon guy about what color the flower she wanted should be. (But I'm sure he won't be there every time someone visits this place).
Overall, Golden Griddle might have a good name but this location didn't fulfill that at all. I advise you seek out another one and then leave a review here until we have found the best location in Toronto ;)

Wow this place is awesome... at making their food look like it has the potential to actually be tasty. It is absolutely disgusting. I can't even describe it. I got some chicken dish and it was so overly sweet it wasn't even enjoyable.
Discounting the fact that they fill 80% of your plate with plain white rice this place wouldn't be worth the money even if they loaded your plate up with whatever you actually ordered. I paid $11 for a terrible meal and a drink. The food was so bad I opted to toss it in the garbage rather than finish it for the sake of not wasting $11.
In the end I was glad to have so much white rice, I pushed all the other food aside and ate the rice since it was more enjoyable then trying to stomach the other crap.
Don't waste your money (or time) here.

I originally went in there in search of something off the shelves that I could heat up in my office cafeteria but quickly changed my mind when I smelled the delicious food on the buffet.
Not until today did I want to write a review about this place. I had their sweet and sour pork for the first time (I had never seen it on the buffet before today) and I am tempted to go back downstairs to get some more. This was literally sweet and sour both at the same time. It was the first time I had the pleasure of enjoying this taste.
The other item I always grab every time I'm in there is the meatballs. They are phenomenal.
They charge you based on how much food you take (by weight) so your never left over eating or getting too little for what your appetite desires.
This is by far my favorite place in AOB to get my lunch when I don't bring my own.

There was ketchup in the pumps, napkins in the dispenser, straws in the holder. The tables were clean. The garbages weren't over-flowing. Can't ask for much more from any McDonalds.
Would stop in again on a trip to or from Ottawa. Might become my goto rest-stop for traveling along that route.

My first impression of this place was terrible. B!tchiest waitress I've ever had in my life. SHE THREW THE MENUS AT US!
Drank our water and left before even ordering. I will not go back to this place. Ever.
The cleanest, nicest, best franchise of all types of franchises I've ever been in.
The people who own and operate it are also some of the nicest people I have ever met.
The food is unbelievable. Made with care and served in generous servings.
GO HERE NOW! I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!!
It's still nice though, for now, so enjoy it if your in the Bay. Wish they had a more extensive arcade area since they are (I think) the only place in North Bay with an arcade now.
