Shawna MarieSeptember 10, 2017Best southern food in the city. Always get the cornbread it's amazing. They have breakfast in the morning and weekends but their dinner is the best!Perfect Mac and cheese & true southern fried chicken
Daniel PlemmonsMarch 30, 2015Love the food, though waited for 2 hours the last time I was there. Saturday night, finally got in around 9pm. Still a favorite though.
waleed bahrawyApril 9, 2019Regular and spicy friend chicken, sides: mac and cheese (magical), fries (amazing), rice & gravy (delicious) and greens (meh).. friendly staff and cozy atmosphere..
- John CassilloAugust 14, 2012Looking for southern food in SF? Hard Knox is the place. Try the oxtail with macaroni and cheese, plus cole slaw. Corn bread is also amazing.
LanOctober 11, 2013Order the fried chicken and make sure you get it spicy! You won't be sweating bullets don't worry, it's a nice slow medium burn.
Gio CorsiMarch 2, 2012Amazing food! Fried Chicken, Cornbread, Smothered Porkchops, Mac & Cheese, Chicken & Waffles... the list goes on and on! Try it all!
The fried chicken and waffles are screamin!!! My first time eating the two together. Was worth the drive across town. Highly recommend
Tatum HengelFebruary 6, 2017An entree with 2 sides can definitely feed 2. The mac n cheese is delicious 😊
Lauren McGregor DownsOctober 11, 2011I'm from Kentucky, so I can be picky when it comes to places claiming Southern Style anything, but Hard Knox gets an A++ you definitely won't leave hungry either!
Good, casual Outer Richmond experience. Try the fried chicken if it's your first visit.
Marcelo VilelaJanuary 5, 2014If you're looking for good comfort food for a good value this is the spot. Also great beer selection.
LisaJune 14, 2012Everything I had was good! Spicy fried chicken is spicy! Even the corn bread muffin and stewed cabbage were yummy.
Ros HodgekissNovember 10, 2014It can get pretty stuffy hot upstairs, but for the chicken, it's worth it.
Michael MeierFebruary 24, 2012If you want a chicken and waffle and sides, add a waffle to the fried chicken and share the sides with someone else!
You can order the cornbread togo! 2 for a $1. Dessert menu! ( Peach cobbler, creme brulee, bread pudding, and sweet potatoe pie)
Shawn TsaoAugust 16, 2012Get Hard Knox delivered at trycaviar.com! Really great service when you just can't get to either of their locations
The family meal is a good deal. Oh and the spare ribs are awesome!- Try the fried chicken bread sammich... With mayo and pickles only! AND I DO MEAN MAYO AND PICKLES ONLY!
- Pam LFebruary 9, 2011Complimentary corn bread muffins are delicious...wish I could drop by just to take some to-go!!
Jonathan ChinchillaOctober 7, 2010Try the Fried Chicken, MacNCheese, and BeansNRice!! Bigger portions than the one on 3rd Street!
I got 3 orders of corn bread and a pitcher of beer. Best meal in a while.
Fried Chicken, waffles, yams, jumbalaya, beignets! Love it all!
Rylan SíanJune 7, 2012More like California style Southern food, but decent...the wait, however, is a little redic. 45min wait on a Thursday afternoon....
Slow service. Poor waiting list management. White meat fried chicken is dry. Order dark. Otherwise decent.
sweet potatoe fries are not on the menu but are delish!
