Diners hungry for cheap plates of barbecue and fried catfish find solace in the outer avenues at this outpost of Alabama truck-stop chic.

The Details on Hard Knox Cafe

Know Before You Go:

If ordering take-out, go to the restaurant's website and place your order online.

The Extras:

It seems unlikely, but should you bring your own bottle of booze from home, there's a $10 corkage fee.
