Hard Knox Cafe

ard Knox Cafe delivers a comforting, no-frills Southern dining experience that feels both nostalgic and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the warm red tones, casual booths, and soulful décor made it feel like a neighborhood staple rather than a tourist spot. The food is hearty, generous, and clearly cooked with care this is the kind of place where comfort food truly lives up to its name. Service felt genuine and attentive without being rushed, which made the entire meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. Portions are satisfying, especially if you’re hungry or sharing dishes family-style. It’s the kind of restaurant where you linger, talk, and enjoy the atmosphere as much as the food. Overall, Hard Knox Cafe feels authentic, approachable, and deeply rooted in comfort and community.

probably the best southern place in the city! the arts and vibe reminded me well of my visit to Louisiana, foods are amazing (oxtails and gumbo are a must try if you like it). great for weekend brunch or just catch up with family and friends. also plenty of parking in the area!

Hard Knox Cafe is amazing! The service was amazing, the atmosphere was nice, giving down home vibes w/music just loud enough to talk and enjoy. We had the Cajun Shrimp Balls, Spicy Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish, Macaroni, Greens, Yams, Red Beans & Rice and Beignets. All food was good and portions were plenty. Our waitress was so kind, service infused with love! Bomb 10/10, would recommend !

Hard Knox is a great value and I’d highly recommend coming here. The portions are absolutely huge and usually end up taking food home. The corn bread that comes with the entrees is great and is always hot and fresh. The staff are all really friendly and their service is excellent.

A very interesting place! Atmospheric in its own way. At first glance, the interior doesn’t really stand out, but after the first bite, you start to sink into the experience and see everything from a completely different perspective. The food is delicious, and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Best chicken fried steak I ever had. I will be back there to try more of their selections. Oh, and those corn muffin are on point. 🔥🔥🔥

My sister recommended this place and they didn’t disappoint. Good food and good customer service! The baked fish, ribs, and that PERFECTLY fried/seasoned chicken were my favorites!

My thirteen year old son have walked passed Hard Knox Cafe for months now, salivating as we watched people chowing down on soul food deliciousness. We finally dined at Hard Knox Cafe on Saturday and Sunday, and it did not disappoint! We were thrilled with the ox tail entree, jambalaya, fried chicken, corn bread, coleslaw, red beans and rice, and even the hamburger delivered above and beyond. Compared to Sf's overpriced standards, Hard Knox is surprisingly reasonable. The hamburger is only $12 and comes with a generous side. And the entrees are so generously portioned, two people can share one entree if you order an extra side dish or two. My son doesn't generally care for bread or muffins, but raved about the freshly baked corn bread. The oxtail was beyond heavenly: fall off the bone tender, with a lot of meat on the bones, and a perfectly seasoned sauce that was at once flavorful and mellow. Our servers on both days were amazing: attentive, professional, friendly, and extra kind and accommodating to our dog in the outdoor seating area. Hard Knox is our new favorite restaurant!

Great service for a group of 14. The fried chicken with waffles, oxtail stew and the cornbread was out of this world! Highly recommend except for the back bathroom that floods when upstairs takes a shower. Fix that and I will come back and give another star.

It was a gut punch learning the 3rd St. location had closed. So, I took my valentine to the Clement St. location. Pains me to say it, but this was a complete let down. We both got fried catfish. Catfish 2.5outta5 Fried perfectly but had no seasoning Collard greens 2.5outta5 tender cook but no flavor & lukewarm Red beans & rice 2.5outta5 No seasoning Hushpuppies 4outta5 nice cook, nice flavor Potato Salad 1outta5 Bell peppers, diced onions, grainy potatoes, a very off-putting bite. We've never had potato salad like this. It's not a southern recipe. We passed. Cornbread muffins 4outta5 Attentive & prompt service, chill atmosphere but the food left a lot to be desired. No comparison to 3rd St. It could've been an off day for the kitchen.

I wish I could give more stars. But it's was ok. Checked them out today, we ordered the fried chicken, pork chops, greens, yams, Mac & Cheese. The presentation was not the best at all, so I was really surprised and shocked. It made me scare to even try the food. But it was not bad, it just was okay. Now, the Chicken was the BEST, it was cooked great, fresh and hot. The Greens were good, wish they had a little kick/spice to them but I enjoyed them. The YAMS were very flavorful- second best item. Mac & Cheese was very disappointing- they just didn't taste right. No taste at all. Texture was off. I didn't like the actual noodles being used. Idk maybe just me. Porkchops was the worse. No season at all and it was a very very thick porkchop, we literally took one bite and did not eat anymore- waste of money. Parking is terrible. And that's all I can say. I hope your experience was better than mines - * my waiter I wish I got his name was the BEST and he was very attentive... so sorry I didn't get your name because you deserve recognition- THANK YOU FOR THE BEST SERVICE TODAY.

This is the spot for comfort food. Soul food always hits, just be ready to work off those calories from all the fried stuff and rich foods. Here's how I rate all the dishes I've tried. Hush puppies: B Cajun shrimp balls: C Mostly rice. Shrimp flavor is there but pieces of shrimp are not noticable. Gumbo soup: B Chicken fried steak: B Cornbread: A- Candied yams: A Mashed and heavy on the cinnamon and sugar. Loved how this tastes, although it's almost like a dessert! Collard greens: A- These taste great and are super tender and umami. Mac n cheese: B- Pretty cheesy, macaroni was quite soft. Potato salad: C- Too sweet for my preference. Amazing service every time we've been to this location. Huge portions too!

Only come for the fries chicken and corn muffins, nothing else Dishes: 1. Fried chicken: the only good item here and apparently their specialty. Perfectly crispy but not too oily. Would come back here just for the fried chicken 2. Mac 'n cheese: dry. 3. Mashed potatoes & gravy: super dry that it soaked up all the extra gravy I requested 4. Hush puppies: the sauce is good but the hush puppies themselves were dry 5. Corn muffins were good! Logistics: -street parking -accepts card -good for groups of up to ~6

Hard Knox is always a big hit with me and my family. The welcome warm cornbread is a preview to the delicious food we're about to have. My go to order is oxtail over rice with greens and yams on the side. The oxtail is fall off the bone with gravy that's thick and flavorful. The greens is cooked and seasoned just right. The yams is sweet but not overly sweet. The other dish we ordered was the spicy chicken and waffle. The chicken is crispy and not so oily. The blend of spices and the spiciness of the chicken blends really well. The chicken is thinly breaded. The waffle needed to be warmer but it's okay. The staff is friendly and if you ask for food recommendations, they know their menu.

I've been to Hard Knox multiple times over the years, usually for dinner, and every visit has been memorable. The service is always warm and welcoming, and the meals consistently hit the spot with comforting, delicious flavors. They know what I'll ask for next whether it's more napkins or more bbq sauce without me even needing to say it. My go-to order is the BBQ pork ribs with mac and cheese and candied yams on the side. Every single time, it's absolutely perfect. Their mac and cheese is so good that I find myself craving it constantly--it's easily the best I've ever had. And while I'm usually not a fan of cornbread muffins, Hard Knox's are the one exception; they're just that good. The restaurant is usually crowded whenever I go, and it can get a bit noisy, but the homey, comforting atmosphere more than makes up for it. It feels like a warm embrace, making the wait totally worth it. My boyfriend, a longtime fan of their breakfast, recently joined me for dinner and is now as obsessed with the mac and cheese as I am. Hard Knox continues to be a favorite for both of us, and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Some might say "why go to a soul food restaurant if you want a salad?" but I say, "if it's on the menu, it should be as equally delightful as everything else". What did I sample here? * Cajun Shrimp Salad ($20); * Hard Knox Cobb Salad ($21); and * Gumbo ($12) None of it could be described as delightful. The Cajun Shrimp Salad featured many shrimp but none featured any identifiably Cajun flavor. The Cobb Salad was robust in size but there was something adding a sweetness to the flavor profile and it was neither expected nor welcome. Gumbo, which should've been the thing that turned everything around, tasted like the flavors hadn't settled in; sort of like stewy soup best consumed days after preparation. This one felt like it had been made moments before and I didn't enjoy it. Can I tell you what I did enjoy though? Hard Knox Cafe demonstrated exemplary service levels. I felt very well taken care of by each server that came to my table. The menu features a big array of breakfast items and I spotted some good looking fried chicken on the plates of others. Were I to make my way back here those are the menu items I'd focus on.

Don't walk!! RUN! This restaurant was soooooo good I can't even begin to describe how impressed I was from the food to the service and their deals! On Mondays they have $4 pint beers. Plenty of seating in doors! Bathroom. Food - DELICIOUS! Chicken crispy! Oxtail fall off the bone! Ribs saucy! Sides were a hit! My favorite was Cole slaw (not pictured) and Mac n cheese. Serving portions was goood. The waiting staff was impeccable. We had a sweet waitress who was very tentative, a great conversationalist and made us feel special. I forgot my bag in the restaurant and another staff member came out to give it to me.

Craving southern food in the city? Then you've got to come eat at this spot! There aren't many southern options in SF, but this one definitely hits the spot. I came by on a weekday night for dinner for two, and there was no wait. We ordered the fried chicken dinner item and a chicken pot pie. The fried chicken comes with two sides and corn muffins. The corn muffins here are to die for!! I am such a big fan of cornbread, and the way they bake it in the muffin shape is absolutely scrumptious. I ordered another of the muffins since they were just that yummy. Perfectly crispy on the muffin top, moist and soft on the inside. For sides, we got collared greens and Mac n cheese. Loved the Mac n cheese, collared greens were decent but I'd likely try something else next time like the mashed potatoes. The fried chicken is so delicious and filling! We got the spicy chickens and the flavor was 10/10. I think if they added another chicken to the set, it would be a better portion size. The chicken pot pie was underwhelming, would skip on this next time. But purely for the fried chicken and corn muffins, this place is a delight. Will return whenever I'm craving southern food!

There was a time when I was so into New Orleans cuisine that I almost became a chef. I decided to be a writer instead because I write pretty good I think. My first visit to Hard Knox Cafe was to their now-defunct 3rd Street location. I liked it a lot, but it wasn't until recently when I was able to try their delicious food again at their Richmond restaurant. I was blown away, not only by the food but by the service. I ordered the blackened catfish with coleslaw and black eyed peas and rice. The fish melted in my mouth, and everything tasted flavorful without being salty. I also tried the fried chicken and collared greens off another person's plate, and they were amazing too. The fried chicken in particular was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. All the items we ordered were also not greasy or overly heavy, a trait Southern food can sometimes lean toward. Flavors were bold yet clean. The service was so friendly. They came by often to refill our coffee and soda, and they even asked if we wanted to take some to go. So nice! Hard Knox Cafe will forever be on my radar as one of the best restaurants in San Francisco!

Came here on a Tuesday evening with a party of 14 folks. We made a reservation so we were seated almost immediately. I wish I took note of our server's name because he was fantastic. He remembered everything, served us quickly, refilled our drinks and muffins without us having to ask or remind, gave us boxes for our leftovers and cleaned up unwanted dishes almost as soon as we were finished with them. We never really had to ask him for anything. We felt important to him. He interacted with us and when he went on break he told us who would be covering him for his break. All dishes were served hot and was flavorful. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and there were no complaints. One member of our party stated that they came not too long ago during the lunch hour and his server was just as good. Food and servers were consistently good. Bathrooms were clean and had ample supply of paper towels, paper and seat covers. Sorry. Forgot to take pictures of the food. Would come again and do recommend.

Had a great lunch today with a large party. All the food was excellent. First and foremost, the corn bread was hot and crispy and oh so tasty with butter. I ordered the oxtail with a side salad and red beans and rice. The oxtail was so tasty with brown gravy. The large piece I ate was a little fatty but still succulent, tasty and tender. It went really well With my red beans and rice! My hubby had the spicy fried chicken. He got 3 pieces but they weren't very big. He enjoyed his mac and cheese and collard greens. The meal was solid. I have enough leftovers for dinner tonight! I did devour my entire salad!

Lots of good flavor. The fried chicken pot pie was really good. My man loved the spicy fried chicken and mashed potatoes. The pot pie Hit the spot that's for sure. We were seated pretty fast for a Saturday so that was nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Food didn't take to long to come out. I wish they had a kids menu but the servings we got were enough to share with our toddler.

Local spot for Southern food. It's been around for quite a long time. Came here for dinner and it wasn't too crowded. The inside is casual dining. Service was attentive. The corn muffins were solid - warm, not dry, and good flavor. The fried chicken was good - crispy! The ox tails were fatty but tender. Unfortunately, the smothered pork chop was not too enjoyable - the flavor was very off. The Mac and cheese was also a miss for me - quite liquidy which isn't my ideal texture. The collard greens and cabbage weren't bad, quite flavorful. The candied yams were sweet but not bad and enjoyable. Overall, this place is fine if you're craving a bit of southern food.

Soul-filling soul food! Food: I tried the fried chicken, mac and cheese, and yam fries. Everything was delicious and absolutely worth trying again. The chicken is crispy but tender and juicy. I tried it with spice and it wasn't very spicy, but flavorful. The Mac and cheese is generously cheesy, and pairs well with the crispy yam fries. My only critique is that the corn muffins were unfortunately cold, dry, crumbly, and bland. Everything else was great! The portions are large! Ambiance: it gets crowded fast here! We arrived close to opening hours on a Saturday and all of the tables were filled and reservations were piled up. However, despite being behind 6 other parties, We only waited about 20 mins before we were seated. Service: I have a lot of respect for this crew! They were extremely efficient and are clearly well versed. Our orders were taken while we were waiting in line and by the time we were seated we only waited about 5-10 mins before our food arrived. I recommend! Be mindful of the wait time, come early or order out if you're on a time crunch!

Excellent local eatery.. friendly staff! Food excellent. We ordered to go but the theme takes you back a few decades

Love this place so much and I keep coming back to get the ribs and greens and mac and cheese. SOUL Food on point :)

Chicken and waffles - 4/5, 3 or 4 pieces of chicken with a waffle. The chicken is good-- nicely fried, juicy, crispy and tender. The waffle is soggy, could be better. Not bad. Beignets - 3/5, a different style of beignets, almost like a funnel cake or churro. It was too sweet for me and the texture was interesting-- crunchy but also soft. I think I prefer the fluffy, pillowy beignets. Gumbo soup - soup with rice, sausage, chicken, and lots of veggies. I didn't quite like it, but my friends enjoyed it. Spicy chicken and waffles - my friend said it wasn't spicy enough, but the chicken is good. Crab cake benedict - pretty good, the crab cakes are crabby as they should be. The sauce was a bit too sour, and my friend wasn't sure about it. Otherwise, she liked her dish. Hard knox omelette - pretty good. Fried chicken with mac n cheese and candied yams - the mac n cheese was really good, but the candied yams were way too sweet for my friends.

Food and service never disappoint. Price is good, especially for the amount of food you get. Easy going diners to share the space with.

It was okay. Had way better. Not very favorable Service was slow. Will not be returning.

If you crave Southern comfort food, and you happen to be near the Outer Richmond, I say come to Hard Knox. They have great fried chicken and corn muffins. We haven't ordered this one in a while but they also make a yummy oxtail dish. The chicken fried steak is also delicious.

I'd honestly say if you're looking for fried chicken this place delivers I don't mean to your home I mean to ur tummy. It's crispy it seasoned it tender and it's fried perfect. I'm not the biggest fired chicken fan. But I know when it's good and when it's not. The Mac and cheese is a no go for me it taste more like Velveeta Mac and cheese than anything else. The corn bread felt like jiffy's which is passable but I wanted more flavor. The gumbo , if your from Louisiana don't go here and order the gumbo it's not your gumbo if your from Cali and want gumbo I'd say sure get it here if you've never been to NOLA. The potato salad was ok more on the sweet side than I'd like. The black eyed peas which I have never been the greatest fan of were ok . They were just lacking the soul food Fraser I expected. I ordered the oxtails A few minutes later our serve comes over to us to let me know all they had were the small pieces left. lol girl i don't mind as long as you give me enough and you atleast got some left. The oxtails were tender definitely but After that they weren't anything I'd order again here. I love oxtails and one thing any one who prepares oxtails know is that they produce this distinctive au jus you know them juices that burst out when your cooking them tails. The sauce gravy what ever you want to call it that they definitely prepare from some mix cannot compare to it. It's so sad they probably just dump that away and use to pre mix stuff. It tastes as if u smoother the oxtails in brown gravy. I mean even if u added the braising juices to the brown gravy would have elevated this dish. I'm sorry this oxtails def wasn't hitting. I felt bad the cow gave up his life for these. That cow deserved better

Food: amazing! Only down side is that it was probably a bit too much food (but really, that's not a major issue as they graciously offer to go boxes). If you like spice, order the chicken and waffles spicy! So good! Mac n cheese is very rich and cheesy! Drinks: OJ was a bit sour Service: very nice and accommodating. They got a major to-go order and came out to let others know their meals were being worked on, they were just a bit behind. We appreciate honesty. Such a cute little spot with so much character. Only complaint is that they don't open until 11AM .

I had dinner here on Sunday night with my parents and ate here and had a great dinner. The food tastes great. The service was fast we were in there and out of there in 30 minutes. A must visit if you're in the city here! I give this place 5 stars!

I placed a catering order for 70 people, and it was a huge success. The protein items especially were loved by everyone. I was worried that fried chicken, a couple of hours after being cooked, wouldn't be good, but I was completely wrong. It was delicious, as were the ribs, and the blackened catfish. Most successful party ever! However, I did have a lot of leftover mac & cheese and rice and beans so I can't really recommend those sides.

Went for Father's Day brunch and it was the perfect place to celebrate the dad in our life! They take reservations which is a plus. The service was prompt and friendly. Loved the spices they use for their fried chicken. The waffles were crispy and soft. The collard greens were so good. The pot pie was humongous filled with chicken but could have used more salt, it was not as flavorful as the rest of the dishes. But the corn bread is definitely something to rave about! Will be back for dinner to try some other dishes.

Was hungry and in the city for business drove by and had a feeling .. glad I turned around ..Patio dog friendly , staff awesome Nora was great , the cat fish was fantastic great crunch and soft moist inside the greens and Mac were also yummy price point for San Fransisco ... will be back

We congregated here fairly recently for an early lunch. I was in the mood for something sweet, and they do serve lunch into early afternoon, so I chose their beignets with seasonal fruit. Our waiter, and everyone else we dealt with, was really nice and was happy to make recommendations and answer any questions we had with patience. Prices are what you'd expect for SF. Not cheap but not through-the-roof expensive. My beignets were good! I'm not an expert by any means on southern cuisine and soul food, so I can't judge how good they were compared to the norm. I think the one complaint I have is that they weren't too filling. For the $14 that they cost, I didn't feel full at all after eating four beignets and fruit. That being said, they've got an extensive menu with all the fixings and features you'd find down south -- collard greens, mac and cheese, cornbread (among other things). If you're looking for a decent alternative to the two SF Brenda's locations, try the two Hard Knox locations (like this one) instead. 4 stars

Best chicken and waffles in San Francisco. If your in the area, I highly recommend. A MUST TRY!

This is my jam in San Francisco for a fried chicken meal. Delicious fried chicken with tasty sides of mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy. The gumbo is also good.

Not exactly the same as the DogPatch location. The one thing extremely different so far for me are the yams. They aren't candied enough. Still a fan! None the lass they always meet expectations. I love love the this place and will be trying EVERYTHING on the menu.

Today, we had a whole bunch of family that was hungry for sausage. It was raining today so we needed to find a restaurant for all of us to be accommodated to sit inside. My nephews girlfriend recommended hard knocks café, and my sister-in-law said that she loved it there and hasn't hasn't been here for a decade. I love soul food, so we all were excited to share a meal. I ordered the spicy chicken and waffles. I like that there were three available options for hot sauce on the table which included Cholula, Tapatio, Louisiana, hot sauce, and Sriracha was available if you needed it. The spicy fried chicken was not very spicy, so I was glad that I had hot sauce options to choose from. The Waffle was a unmemorable. I didn't like the fact that I ordered a mimosa, and it was huge, which was kind of perfect because I was really thirsty today. My toddler son really enjoyed the fried chicken skin from my meal. We also like that the cornbread was warm when it was served. Unfortunately, there was no honey available and service is a little bit slow maybe because they are understaffed today who knows. The Mimosa is very close to five stars for me. and everything that I ate had a solid three stars.

Have been hankering for their fried chicken and because I found parking close by, natch, I had to pop in. Grateful they are still able to keep their prices low and offer plentiful servings. Once again, the chicken was screaming hot right out of the fryer, which I appreciated. But everything seemed a bit off and under-seasoned. Batter on the chicken was flavorless. Mashed taters were flat in taste, gravy just o.k. Slaw, nothing to write home about. Always loved their little corn muffins. Next visit, I may stear away from the fried chicken and go for something else. Still a gem of the neighborhood.

this cafe made me comfy. there was something comforting by the rusted metallic roofing for sidewalls, mixed with classic American Knick-knacks, model planes and cars, and appliances of the 50s. Any other color booths wouldn't have done it- the red pulls it together. Oh, and it was spookified (always appreciated ). I came in for lunch on a Monday afternoon and wanted to explore. I searched the area near GGPark and southern comfort rose to the top for me at that moment. It's quiet with a few folks doing, and several more arrived soon. The air was clean and was moving. With high ceilings sometimes the air can sit be stagnant and I didn't get that sense. It had more of a quiet cafe vibe, no music-- I enjoyed it for what I wanted this afternoon. The little corn muffins were delectable. I know the corny little jams are just that, and cheap, but I do delight in them and the simple, common person's pleasure of a smuckers strawberry jam at a retro diner (/s) . If you're getting the chicken and waffles, honestly, take your corn muffins home! The chicken was juicy and hot. The waffle could have been more crispy as it came out though. I poured the honey on the wings as they came out and man, hit the spot . I thought the $20 for the chicken and waffles could have been a few bucks cheaper ( if I'm being annoying ), but the meal was delicious and satisfying. Susan, the waitress, made it a wonderful experience with her warmth (and the residual conversations she had with patrons was pleasant to listen to). $27.87 for one, with a ginger ale ($4.75, which I believe was refillable).

I don't know southern food but this place has tasty ox tail, ribs & chicken. They gave me a little too much so I ate 1/2 of it & kept the other for the next meal

We decided to get food to go so we could watch the SF Giants game on TV. We've been to Hard Knox Cafe many times. It is my go-to and is in the neighborhood. I ordered my favorite BBQ Pork Ribs, collard greens, stewed cabbage with cornbread muffins. The ribs were flavorful, tender. The collard greens were plentiful and not too salty. The stewed cabbage was tasty and had a slight sweet flavor which I liked. The cornbread muffin was moist and sweet. The entire meal was delicious and I had quite a bit of leftovers. My husband had the fried chicken. He liked the crunchy coating and the tender chicken. He enjoyed the red beans and the potato salad. He devoured the cornbread muffins. The meals in the to-go containers arrived hot and unbelievably delectable. We enjoyed our meals and the Giants game.

I ordered a veggie plate today and the food was absolutely disgusting. The macncheese, and greens particularly were very bad. No flavor at all! They had the nerve to charge me a tip of front! Never again!!

This place is a hometown favorite. The soul food is awesome and the portions are HUGE. It's been awhile since I've been here (10 years?) and I gotta say they still hold up. On the weekends there can be a wait but it's definitely worth it. It took awhile for them to serve us but there was a lot of people on the Sunday we came. Fried chicken was huge and had a great level of spice and flavor to it. I got a side of Mac and cheese with cabbages. Mac and cheese was nice and cheesy and I definitely need a side of veggies with this.

Food was delicious! We especially loved the country fried steak and pork chops! We ordered a family meal for 2, we picked 3 meats and 4 sides. I loved the cabbage and my husband loved the yams. Cornbread muffins were delicious too! Our server Nora was awesome and super attentive!

Meat was tender and the portion was generous. However, I would not call it soul food. Flavor says the opposite.

Really craving fried chicken after working out nearby. Got the spicy fried chicken meal that comes with two sides. Nice and crispy on the outside, a bit dry on the inside but great flavor. I didn't think it was spicy enough for me though. I got the mac n cheese and French fries for my sides. French fries are on the softer side, which I personally like but may not be for everyone. My friend ordered the French toast off the brunch menu and it was pretty standard. Love the decor and vintage diner vibe, although my booth seat needs to get fixed. Our server was super attentive throughout our meal and very considerate, providing us with extra plates for sharing food.

As always superior customer service from the moment we stepped foot in the door. Susan has a gift. She is truly the most amazing waitperson I've had! Anticipating needs, friendly and so helpful. The food is the best l. We tried different dishes this time. The pear salad is amazing if you want something a bit lighter. You can't go wrong with any of their sides. We drove up for the oxtails and they didn't disappoint!

Surprisingly good if you're looking for Louisiana style of cooking. Service is excellent and friendly. I ordered buffalo wings and a bacon burger. Turn out perfectly cook. Try them out of you're in the area.

Local favorite! This is the first place I ate at when just moving to San Francisco. It's cozy inside, the staff is amazingly friendly. The food is always consistently yummy. I go for the pulled pork sandwich or the fried chicken sandwich usually. Other menu items worth trying are the Cajun pasta and shrimp po boy. I always love their comp corn muffins too. Pro tip: try them for brunch !!!

This looked like the most to my taste when I found myself out in the outer Richmond at suppertime (a rare occurrence for me). A nice clean restaurant, very pleasant. I ordered the fried catfish dinner. Well-cooked catfish, on the dry side but not unpleasantly so, in rather thick breading. For sides I got corn, which was good, and collard greens, which did not work well: tasteless and slimy. Outstandingly courteous and attentive service, though. Will I ever get back here? As I said, I'm not in these parts much. But if I am, I'd certainly be willing to eat here again. Try something else from the tempting menu.

My office placed a catering order to be delivered this week for a Juneteenth event I planned at work. The food and service were absolutely amazing. I worked with Teresa who took my order and made sure I was taken care of from start to finish. The food arrived on time and everything was packed well and delivered as discussed, nice and hot. The food was a HIT! We will definitely order again for future events. Highly recommended!

Always a great meal! Can't go wrong with any order fried chicken, pork chops, beef short ribs, burgers all yummy and the cornbread is perfect. Staff is awesome, friendly and always checking in with us.

It's hard to get good Southern food in SF, but they have the best country fried steak that keeps us coming back (also validated by my bf who comes from Texas). The batter is thin and crispy and the meat is tender. Also the corn muffins are bomb. We also tried the catfish which was very good. Most of the sides are pretty standard, but the collard greens stood out as the best - tender and not bitter. The server was so nice and attentive, she was offering things we didn't even know we needed like spoons to share our sides and a sweet tea after our meal.
