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.
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
Just out kickin around with Hambone King, doing what two guys do..not looking for trouble, just a good time. Well, old Hambone wants to go have Cajun food over at Brenda's and I want to eat at the Hard Knox Cafe, just because. So we flipped a coin, then we did rock-paper-scissors those didn't work so we went to the tavern to see who could drink 3 beers in under 15 seconds. And it's off to the Hard Knox Cafe! Dinner was amazing, everything about it was perfect. 5 stars all day long.
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.

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.
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!
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!
Fried catfish was on point. Sides were red beans and rice and mac and cheese both were very tasty portions were large the staff were very friendly and helpful

Good food. Friendly place. Love the old school blues and soul music they were playing. Would go again for sure.
Food is delicious and they give you a lot of it. It’s not pricy. It has a family atmosphere.
