Hard Knox consistently delivers soul food that satisfies every time I visit, with generous portions that often leave me with delicious leftovers. Their spicy fried chicken is perfectly crispy, and the sides like mac & cheese and candied yams bring a comforting, flavorful balance to the meal. Beyond the food, the friendly staff and laid-back vibe make each experience enjoyable and welcoming.

Good Food

This is a small diner that specializes in "soul food". Counter and a few booths. Food is very good and an excellent value. Friendly people. Funky atmosphere, but you didn't come here expecting a maitre 'd did ya? No kidding, very good.
