Our Story

In 1999 Chef/owner, Tony Hua, opened the first Hard Knox Café with one simple concept in mind — to offer guests a taste of soul food and lots of it. He believed that food is a great medium that brings people together to enjoy not just the food but each other. His passion for food and people transformed Hard Knox Café into what it is today. After 9 successful years in the Dog Patch district of San Francisco, Tony opened a second location in the Richmond district of San Francisco.

Hard Knox Café serves one purpose and that is to feed one’s appetite and soul. We welcome your feedback and depend on it to better serve you. Please email us if you have questions or comments and we will promptly reply.
