Kemp’s Kitchen, Golden Rule plan Dec. 1 reopening

Kemp’s Kitchen & Bakery is planning to reopen in the former Golden Rule Bar-B-Q and Grill in downtown Trussville on Dec. 1. Golden Rule will be reopening as well.

Construction began Sept. 28.

According to owner Brian Kemp, the two restaurants — Kemp’s Kitchen and Golden Rule — will be located under the same roof.

“We are super excited to be a part of the [Trussville] Entertainment District and completely back in Trussville,” Kemp said. “We are rebuilding from the ashes and coming back better than ever.”Golden Rule closed its doors after 30 years on South Chalkville Road on Aug. 12. Kemp's Kitchen opened its first location in Trussville in November 2017. It moved across the street from Golden Rule, in the former Hardee’s building, in August 2020 but closed due to a fire in November 2021.
