Kemp's Kitchen

My husband and I were in town and looking for a quick meat and three type lunch. We found Kemp's and saw they had hamburger steak with sides as a daily special and thought we would give them a try. Wait staff was sweet, but it definitely was not quick and the hamburger steak looked as if they forgot they were cooking it. It was completely charred on the underside and broke in half when I tried to cut through for my first bite. I ended up peeling The burnt half off and eating the top half that was not burned. The burger was disappointing and the fries tasted like they had been cooked in old grease. While we appreciate the wait staff offering to make things right, we do not plan on returning.

So they closed Yardbirds and opened up Kemp’s. If you liked or visited Yardbirds things will look similar and some things were carried over from the old menu like the chicken and Waffles. The service was good and the food came in a timely fashion. The price was good for what we got, about 20.00 and some change for two people and an appetizer.

I love doing reviews on local small business establishments, this place is great. To start off, Gabe (Server) was super nice. I like the Mason jar and crushed ice with flexi straw. The appetizer (Fried green tomatoes) are reasonably priced, where they lacked in presentation they had good flavor. The House Salad was perfect The Big Kahuna with terriyaki and grilled pineapples was really good. I think they forgot the slice of tomatoe on it, it was great even without it. I like that you can get cheese fries as a side. I would recommend if you wanted to try a good menu and decent pricing.

The food was okay, not bad, not good just average. The wings, lemon pepper and hot were nice and hot and the flavor on the hot was very good, the lemon pepper so so. The fried green tomatoes were a greasy mess and had a weird, sweet taste. The service left something to be desired. The place only had about 5 other tables occupied and the waitresses struggled to keep up. We had to ask for napkins and had to get the staff to get her to come over a few times when we needed service. All and all I would go back for some wings. It was one of those meals as my mother used to say "A belly full is a belly full..." 12 wings, with the one side included, a small side salad, a drink and two slices of pound cake $24.95
