They ruined it!

by acutemess at Citysearch

I've gone to Kemp's for years and the best parts were the interior waiting area shaped like a ship's hull and the table service. I'm not sure what the owner(s) were thinking when they got rid of both but they have completely ruined a restaurant my friends and I used to love.

Not only has the serviced been reduced to fast-food style, but the prices have gone up and food portions have gone down. I took my 2 year old there today and was shocked to learn that a kids meal is $6 and excludes a drink! I would never expect to pay 20-something dollars for an adult and child's meal in a fast food restaurant and I'm completely in awe of how they remain in business with such ridiculous value.

If you're dying to go, I suggest going at lunch. This way you can sample the food at half the price and decide if it's worth it to spend the extra in the evening.

• Pros: Portion sizes, Service, Price
• Cons: Hushpuppies

First time in a 1 1/2 years. Why did I wait??

by wolfpackmom at Citysearch

WOW! My husband and I have not been to Kemp's in about a year and a half. If you have not been in a while you will not believe how great the place looks!

As soon as we opened the door the hostess and I think the manager greeted us so warm and kindly! We had a rather large group with us so we were expecting a long wait, but suprisingly we didn't have to wait long at all. And I just want to emphasize how accomodating they were! Once we were at our table we had barley sat down before the hushpupies arrived. HOT HOT HOT hushpuppies were served. They are so good with butter. I could not believe the service that we recieved with a large group. The order was taken promptly, all of our orders were correct, all of the food was hot and delicious. We had no problem getting beers and wine refilled and there was always someone around filling up our tea's and soft drinks. I also want to make a note my husband is not a seafood eater he got their ribeye steak of which I had to try a bite. It was unbelieveable, as good as any steak I have ever had at a nice steakhouse. End of story. I have never taken time to write any type of review or comment, but we all in our group were so impressed with our entire evening at Kemp's Seafood House I wanted to pass on our good experience.

• Pros: Atmosphere, service and great seafood!
• Cons: none!

Don't pass by... STOP!

by Molly79 at Citysearch

For the first time Saturday night my boyfriend and I decided to eat at Kemps. We always pass it on our way to Brier Creek so we decided to give it a try. We both ordered grilled fish, that was grilled to perfection! They also have a good variety of side items other than the usual baked potato and salad. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! I can promise you we will be back sooner than you think!

• Pros: friendly staff and great food!
• Cons: None

Great to take out also!

by Eagles09 at Citysearch

I often stop by Kemp's on the way home from work to pick up food for the family. I especially like getting take out from Kemp's because you actually get the same quality and same quantity in your take out as you would when you dine in! A lot of other resturants seem to skim the portions down a little when you take it to go! Its great to know whenever you come to Kemp's, dine in or take out you get your moneys worth!

• Pros: Best Hushpuppies!
• Cons: none!
