Kemp's Kitchen Bakery - Gardendale

We were so excited to try kemps. they have mr. beast burgers that my son loves on youtube. the robot waitress didn't work and we had a very long waiting period because of a mix of our food. but we will try again. eating out of the bar was good and loved the music.

We have visited this restaurant at least twice and haven't enjoyed the food yet. Meat and 2 vegetables were $9.97 plus your drink.Yesterday I chose the pork chop, fried green tomatoes and Cornbread. I didn't see another vegetable/starch that I wanted. The macaroni and cheese looked mushy and was confirmed by my husband. The por chop had seasoning on the meat that I didn't particularly like. (It was not in the breading But, the meat was too tough to chew, even hard to cut. The tomatoes were just okay.We were with a group so I'm not sure all that my husband chose except chicken tenders, which he said was okay and macaroni and cheese.The poor girls that was trying to serve beverages seemed overwhelmed.If I return with a group I think I will try the bagels, toasted with cream cheese (I hope). My husband said he thought he would just try the dessert.

This is a meat-and-three restaurant, with a bakery. The location was empty a long time, so I'm not sure many people realize Kemp's opened up here. This was the first time eating there for myself and my husband. The meat choices were fried chicken breasts, fried catfish, and I think beef liver and chicken tenders. We got the chicken breasts and catfish. My sides were macaroni and cheese and sweet potato casserole with a roll. My husband's were fried green tomatoes and fried okra. The catfish was probably the best I've ever had, and the chicken breasts were good. I love super-cheesy macaroni, and they delivered with grated cheese on top of the mac-and- cheese. I thought it was excellent. I don't care much for fried green tomatoes, but my husband gets it all the time, and said this was too crusty. The okra was good. I filled up before I could try the casserole, and neither of us had room to try the rolls. We came home with lots of leftovers, plus a gooey piece of turtle brownie from the bakery.

Came home to visit family. Glad Gardendale finally got a meat and three. The burgers are amazing. The additional menu is great and it is clear the owner and staff are trying to please the customers. My kids loved the hand breaded chicken fingers, green beans, Mac n Cheese, and the robot brought three hot baskets of fries. I had the country fried steak but tried the chicken fried chicken. I think I will get the Buffalo chicken sandwich before leaving town. Prices are perfect for this area. Their burgers could easily be 16.95 because of the quality where we live in Florida. I think people should give this place a try.

We ordered off the menu. Burgers are really good. Staff was friendly and attentive and the restaurant seem clean. The music was good too. We will be back.
