    The Keg Steakhouse is a Cut Above for Food Allergy Diners

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 4, 2023 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated February 2023! The Keg is a tricky spot for dairy-free diners, since they do love to use butter and creamy sauces. Nevertheless, The Keg has received accolades over the years for how they work with food allergic diners. Once alerted, a manager will come to your table and assist in the ordering process. Of course, experiences can vary. But numerous dairy-free readers have shared their positive experiences with this steakhouse chain. We’ve personally seen them accommodate a vegan diner with a specially prepared meal, and have gotten to try some of the following dairy-free options.

    The Keg Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

    The Keg Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

    Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

    Allergen Menu Note: Items marked with an asterisk (*) have a special “may contain” warning for potential cross contamination with milk, but do not contain milk in the ingredients. Please note that all foods are at some degree of risk for potential cross contamination with allergens, particularly in a restaurant kitchen environment. A lack of warning does not mean the food is completely “safe.” Speak with your server at The Keg to discuss their processes and ingredients, if concerned.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: The Keg doesn’t currently use peanuts in any menu items. We’ve noted which items below contain egg, gluten, or tree nuts. They use soy in most of the following items, aside from the shrimp cocktail, scallops & bacon appetizer, non-dairy salads, and some of the sides listed here. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Appetizers

    • Crispy Fried Cauliflower* (contains gluten)
    • Scallops & Bacon*
    • Shrimp Cocktail*
    • Tuna Tartare* (contains egg, gluten)

    Heads Up: Sorry, their Table Bread and Keg Mints contains milk!

    Salads

    • Mixed Greens
    • Iceberg Wedge (sub dairy-free dressing)

    Dairy-Free Dressing: House Vinaigrette

    Lunch Salads & Bowls

    • Baja Steak Salad
    • Teriyaki Sirloin Bowl* (contains gluten, nuts)
    • Teriyaki Salmon Bowl* (contains egg, gluten)

    Heads Up! The Keg fried rice does contain milk.

    Vegetarian Entrees

    • Vegetarian Meatloaf* (contains gluten)
    • Warm Mediterranean Cauliflower (contains gluten, nuts)

    Steak (NOT the “Classics”)

    • New York Striploin
    • Top Sirloin
    • Baseball Top Sirloin
    • Teriyaki Sirloin (contains gluten)

    Heads Up: All steak toppings and sauces (aside from the teriyaki) contain milk. The “Keg Classics,” on a separate section of their menu, have the same names as the ones listed above, but do contain milk in the preparation. Be sure to alert the staff to your milk-free needs (and any other allergy concerns) when ordering. Additional cuts of steak can be ordered without dairy on request.

    Chicken & Ribs

    Heads Up! At this time, all chicken and rib menu items at The Keg do contain milk due to either preparation or accompaniments. Ask your server if you can order these items without dairy.

    Seafood

    Fish & Chips (lunch only) (contains egg, gluten, nuts)

    Heads Up! Some people have reported being able to custom order the grilled shrimp and the lobster tail without dairy.

    Burgers & Sandwiches

    • Chicken Lettuce Wraps* (lunch only) (contains egg, gluten, nuts)

    Heads Up! All burgers and traditional sandwiches at The Keg do contain milk.

    Kids Menu

    • Chicken Strips* (see note below) (contains gluten)
    • Kid’s Grilled Chicken
    • Kid’s Sirloin

    Heads Up: The Kid’s Sirloin is the only steak listed on the menu as not containing milk. Previously, the Chicken Strips were dairy-free in Canada, but contained milk in the U.S. The Keg now keeps unified allergen information, which states the Chicken Strips are made without milk. Use extra caution if you are at a U.S. location.

    Sides & Extras

    • Baked Potato (Plain or with Bacon Bits)
    • Brown Rice
    • Cauliflower Mash
    • Fresh Vegetables
    • French Fries
    • Mushroom Rice

    Heads Up! The Twice Baked Potatoes and Mashed Potatoes at The Keg do indeed contain milk.

    Desserts

    Heads Up! Unfortunately, all desserts at the Keg, including their mints, contain milk.

    The Keg Vegan Menu Guide

    • Crispy Fried Cauliflower
    • Mixed Greens
    • Vegetarian Meatloaf
    • Warm Mediterranean Cauliflower
    • Baked Potato (Plain)
    • Brown Rice
    • Cauliflower Mash
    • Fresh Vegetables
    • French Fries
    • Mushroom Rice

    Menus, ingredients, kitchen procedures, management, food sourcing, and restaurant protocols are subject to change at any time. Always read the menu and discuss your dietary needs with the staff before ordering. Make sure they can accommodate your situation. This post is for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as advice.

    There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen. If cross-contamination is an issue for you, always speak with the manager to ensure that your meal can be safely prepared. Listings here do not guarantee that a restaurant is safe enough for your individual needs. Only you can make that decision.

    Each location of a chain restaurant has different management and staff, and some might have different owners. This means differences in processes, ingredients used, menu options, and food sourcing can occur. Always verify the safety of your order for your needs at your current location.
