Kemper's Cafe Caribbean Cuisine Inc

I’ve been looking for a good Caribbean restaurant in the ATL for a while.
The food was good and service was spot on! I told the server it was first time and she explained that a plate came with a meat and two sides and the plantain came with dinner.
I had jerk salmon, kale, with rice and peas.
Awesome flavors.
The plantain was NOT sweet but I will be back.

We went here on a whim today and I had to write a review as SOON as we got done eating.
This was our first time here and never heard of it so wasn’t sure what to expect.
It’s very mom and pop but it had a nice and simple vibe when you get inside.
There were two women working when I went in and they made sure to speak.
Not overly friendly but polite.
There wasn’t a menu anywhere which made knowing what I wanted difficult, but I just figured I could order two plates.
The first one I got was a medium curry chicken plate with rice and peas and cabbage.
The second was a small jerk chicken with rice and peas and mac and cheese.
There was confusion when I went to pay because I told the other lady what I ordered but the first lady making my plate gave me a medium jerk chicken meal and not a small.
I was fine with them just adjusting the portion of food so as to not give me more than I was paying for, but it looked like that was too complicated and she just gave me the food without the extra cost.
She did seem a little frustrated but I appreciated the customer service.
I felt bad about the misunderstanding, so made sure to leave a tip.
Because there were no menus anywhere I was a little thrown when I saw two plates cost me $40.
BUT you get a lot of food and it was so GOOD! I was shocked reading some of the reviews below because every part of our food was bomb.
Full of flavor in each bite and hot.
I do think having menus visible could be a huge help.
This place is definitely worth the visit and we will be back!

Recently visited Kempers for the first upon the recommendation of some coworkers and was quickly reminded why I don’t take people’s food recommendations at face value.
The food was just as nasty, if not worse, than the staff’s attitude.
The prices are ridiculous for the portions they serve you. Remind you this is my first time, so I ordered a lunch plate (see attached image) not knowing what the portions would be like.
I frequent several Jamaican restaurants and the lunch plates are normally the same serving size as a small plate, not here.
Not knowing this, I placed my order and proceeded to pay. Once receiving my food, I looked and saw three (3) small pieces of chicken and knew that wasn’t enough for me so I asked what’s the price difference between the lunch and the small plate.
The lady told me the price but stated that since I had already paid, I couldn’t pay the difference to upgrade to a small plate.
She proceeds to tell me that she already gave me extra because it supposed to only come with two (2) pieces.
I honestly don’t even know if it was chicken or not b/c you can’t even tell what part of the chicken it is, it’s like they had cut it into smaller pieces.
I also paid extra to upgrade one of my sides to Mac N cheese b/c it looked so good —it tasted like water.
No flavor whatsoever! Really the only saving Grace, was the curry. I will NEVER go back here, even if someone else is paying, and I would not recommend this restaurant.
Oh, but if you do decide to visit for yourself take cash b/c they also charge extra for you to use a debit/credit card. If you want some good Jamaican cuisine in the metro area visit: Tastee Spoon or Jamrock.
