A little bit of a wait but as delicious as it was, it was worth the wait. I dined at the one on Clement & 26th Ave. Susan was a great server! Definitely going back!
Good food. Friendly place. Love the old school blues and soul music they were playing. Would go again for sure.
The country fried steak is my favorite. It's not only the best in the Bay Area but might be the best I've ever had anywhere. If you are from the South or you love Southern food they will have something you love, I promise.
Went there with my family while we were on vacation. The food was amazing! I would definitely recommend it!

Awesome chicken and waffles; we come down from Santa Rosa, that good! All staff very nice and friendly!
The food and service are simply excellent. Always enjoy my meals when I go to Hard Knox. Recommend the Blacken Catfish �
The service here has been great every time i go here. I always stick with my go to meal of country fried steak and have not been let down. Great food and great prices.
This spot has been added to my list of favorite places. The shrimp po boy was amazing! The bread perfect and the fries were yummy. The staff was very welcoming and we're very friendly to my puppy.
An outstanding southern comfort eatery deep in the Richmond. You’re definitely leaving with the “itis” after eating here. Very good portions at reasonable prices served in a family friendly environment. Number one is going have to go to the smothered pork chop, excellent. A close second is the blackened catfish, suggested by our waiter. Delicious. The fried chicken had a wonderful flavor to it. Successful. The sides all delivered as promised and the corn muffins were awesome. This is definitely a place for gatherings and families.
Dos thumbs up 👍👍
Lovely place, nice neighbourhood feel. I have family that go there regularly and that’s where they took me.
Southern comfort food style of meals.
I ordered the short ribs with gravy with coleslaw and fries.
But because we eat Asian family style, I got to try the oxtail and fried chicken, and the corn side.
I donated my cornbread to my Aunty but it looked really nice - I was full though!
It’s a little expensive but I’m in SF so it’s not too bad for value and how much food I got.
The service was good and helpful.
I would definitely come back and will!!
We were amazed that we were seated right away in the last available booth for lunch on a Friday!
Amazing Oxtails, Collard Greens, Potato Salad and of course the steaming hot Corn Muffins brought to us right away!
Can't wait to try other items on the menu!
Food was amazing! Was looking to something close to the VA hospital and found the perfect place to eat. The waiter was nice and he made sure we had everything. Will be returning any time I go to the VA hospital.
Solid southern comfort food in my neighborhood. The waitress was so friendly and kept our water and soda glasses filled.
The fried chicken is one of my favorites, but I've probably tried everything on the menu. I
They have a limited Beer and Wine selection, but that's fine for me.
This is definitely a neighborhood gem.
OVERALL UNDER SEASONED.
I had the country fried steak with yams and Mac.
Gravy for steak was bland [6/10]and yams were good but needed more sugar/cinnamon[6.5/10]. Mac and cheese was super runny but pasta had real good bite to them [5/10]
I ended up taking half of it home. When I got home I added Cajun seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder to the country fried steak and the Mac and cheese. Also added cinnamon to the yams. Everything became a solid 9/10.
They just need to add more seasoning and it could really do it justice.The good thing that was nice was the big portions of all the sides and the free corn breads. Also they might allowed free refills of their sweet tea.
The food was great! I got the waffle n chicken meal. The spicy chicken isn't all that spicy, but it was still very tasty. The belgian waffle was nice n fluffy. I really like the aesthetic of the whole place.
Authentic Southern cooking. The oxtail is meaty and delicious. Blackened catfish perfectly seasoned and cooked. Cornbread is moist with crunchy edges. Collard greens nice palate cleanser between the other spicier or fattier dishes. The portions are *huge* (especially the meat plates) so is excellent value if you are going to split something or will take home leftovers and eat another couple meals. Some of the sides can be a little average (e.g. red beans and rice is just that, without the layers of flavor you might get in a home version that is taking center stage) but all together is a delicious meal. Loved it!
Stumbled upon this place and was so happy we found it. We decided to get a bunch of sides and share. Very happy with the selection of delicious vegetarian and vegan options, and the portions are huge! We sat outside and the food came quickly. Waited a bit for the check, but service was generally good. Nice way to have a relaxing evening of delicious food and refreshing beer outside...I'll be back for sure.
Great experience here every time! Shout to my server Kingsley as the service was excellent. The chicken and waffles are always so crispy and the basics are just cooked perfectly. I would recommend the Arnold Palmerston a drink as they helped elevate my experience.
A long time eatery in the Sea Cliff neighborhood walking distance from Lincoln Park serving basic Southern fare. Breaded and deep fried, the menu runs contrary to today's veggie palates. But nonstop online to-go orders prove that burgers and fried pork chops still satisfy.
The spicy fried chicken was very good. The sides of mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. Friendly people and fun decor. The Hard Knox beer was okay, but the bignets were great.
Wow. I was very surprised with this food. I sat in the car and looked at the restaurant thinking there's no way this food is going to be good. But I was wrong. The food is delicious!!!!! My sides were a little cold but still they were amazing. And the cornbread muffin... Oh my so good.
My son had the spicy chicken. He loves spicy food but it gave him a run for his money. Yum!!
My Brother and I first day in San Francisco and I wasn't really hungry at the time. So walked down to Hard Knox Cafe and the customer service was amazing from start to finish. It's a little small inside, but the food and big portion size make up for that.
Great soul food with Michelin level service--seriously the staff here are attentive and can almost read your mind on your needs, from simple things like drunk refills, to being sure you have everything you need to make your experience pleasurable. The catfish is crisp and the sides are tasty and generously portioned. It's like that southern side-of-the road restaurant that all the locals go to for real food, except right here in SF.
It was a great place with delicious food. Their waitress Susan definitely made it a fantastic visit. She was so friendly and dedicated to make it a great experience for us to eat there. Always made sure we got we what needed and went an extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. Would definitely come back and recommend to friends!
Amazing service, adequate prices, unique and tasty southern food, as well as a very clean atmosphere.
