We opened our doors 70 years ago, using our homemade recipes and love for good food. Florence, our founder, has passed the torch to her daughter Victoria. We've been featured on the Food Network, on Fox, in the Oklahoma Gazette, Trip Advisor, 405 Magazine, and others.
We can't wait to welcome you and your family into our kitchen!
We are well known for home cooked meals made for, and with our friends, family and neighbors. Our restaurant is famous for our Yam Fried Chicken and Honey and Heat Fried Chicken.
About Us
A family owned business since 1952
Meet Florence Kemp, owner of Florence's in Oklahoma City, OK! After learning the benefits of cooking with farm fresh ingredients from her mother, Florence saved up enough money as a server to open the restaurant in 1952. Today, the restaurant is nearly 70 years old, and Florence Kemp is still proudly working—along with her daughter Victoria—serving the same recipes her mother taught her, with a few new ones sprinkled in, and all of it what she calls "good country food for the soul."

"Oh my goodness, this food is amazing. Ordered fried chicken, catfish and liver. They gave us a bunch of extra sides. Green beans, mashed potatoes, corn and Mac and cheese. Covid curbside pick up was good! I will go back."
— Larry H.
"Breakfast here is beyond amazing. The people make it so enjoyable to just eat and converse with the company you're with. The food is overwhelmingly delicious and more than enough to take home. They cook the food in front of you and the restaurant feels like going into a home with Sunday breakfast being served."
