Kemp's Restaurant is located directly off of Route 36. This large building took the place of four old store buildings in the downtown area. Walk through the oak doors into the spacious, inviting atmosphere. The large dining room is flanked by a stone fireplace and is sun-lit by our six skylights. Our raised stage area is ideal for performances or entertainment and is also a favorite place for children to sit.

The entire building is wheelchair accessible. Venture past the fireplace and you will find a lounge where visitors can sit and have a drink. The lounge is also a popular spot for many parties and small business meetings. Larger business meetings and special events are held in the 140-seat capacity banquet room. Wi-Fi, sound system, and wireless microphones are available. For our smoking patrons, we have a covered patio at the back of the restaurant.

There are a variety of entrees each evening on our dinner menu. If you are in our area during lunchtime, join us for our old-fashioned lunchtime specials which include our popular pan-fried chicken served every Thursday and Sunday. Or, you can order our famous French dip sandwich from the variety of items on the lunch menu.

We are located in a former Catholic church. We serve Italian cuisine, steak, chicken and seafood. We are open daily, year-round serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, while enjoying the comforting atmosphere. We have a full bar with a large wine cellar.

Try our famous rainbow trout, which we prepare more than 20 ways; enjoy our steaks and fresh-baked cobbler. There are many specialized entrees, making each dining experience something unique.
