Kemp's Upper Tap offers a typical bar atmosphere with friendly employees and a unique ordering system. Guests order and pay at the bar, and their meals are brought to their tables. The menu features high-quality options, including delicious and juicy burgers, savory Italian Beef, and a highly recommended Portobello mushroom burger. Recent customers have enjoyed the daily specials, like the tenderloin lunch, which is perfectly cooked with crunchy breading, served with crispy tots. Serving sizes are huge, and the staff is known for being friendly and providing good service. While there may be a wait during busy times, it is considered worth it, especially for dishes like their amazing hash brown nachos. The kitchen remains impressively clean, and the cooks are fast and efficient. With its convenient location near Highway 55, Kemp's Upper Tap is a great stop for travelers heading to or from Chicago, offering a satisfying meal and a refreshing drink. The owner finds the best breweries and beers in the state and brings them to Lexington, making it an unassuming pub with an ambitious tap list. It's a great place to hang out with solid drink and food specials and great service. Taco night was the best and Kemps has good bar food, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. Sometimes it’s a bit loud and chaotic but it’s always a go to when on the hunt for someplace to eat.
