About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Hamrock's Restaurant is located within the Moore-McCandlish House (built 1842) in the heart of historic Fairfax City. We've been proud to serve delicious made-to-order American dishes using fresh ingredients since our establishment in 2016. We also have a wonderful hand-selected wine list to enhance your dining experience. Approximately eighty-percent of our menu is-- or can be-- gluten-free, as we use only canola and olive oil in all of our cooking. Some of our best-selling dishes are our southern fried chicken, grilled meatloaf, and crab cakes-- all which are gluten free! Other menu favorites include our deviled eggs, firecracker shrimp, Atlantic grilled salmon, roasted pork tenderloin, and penne pasta with andouille sausage & shrimp. We have beautiful year-round outdoor seating options on our wrap around porch (we have heaters!) In the warmer months, we also open our courtyard. We're also more than happy to accommodate business dinners or other special occasions in private rooms.

    This was our first time trying this restaurant. The food was not bad. My rockfish fillet was well over cooked but the sauce was delicious. I question though the cold cucumber side that came with it. My husband ordered the filet which was over cooked as he order a medium rare and it was medium close to well done. His crab cake was very good though. The hard crust on the outside was delicious and a good counterpoint to the creamy crab center. The food wasn’t bad overall but I would say the service a bit off. The waiter kept forgetting things and even forgot our appetizer that we in the end asked to not bring it out after our entrees came out. We also had to hunt him down for the check as we sat there quite some time before being revisited. Would we come back, yes. We’ll try it one more time before deciding whether or not that was just a fluke, or that’s the level of service and quality of food they serve.

    We had a reservation but were told we had to sit outside or wait 30 minutes to be seated. It was cold and drizzly and we really didn’t want to sit outside but we were hungry. We went in to eat the buffet and the inside of the restaurant had empty tables. Those tables were empty when we arrived and were still empty when we left. It would have been a much nicer dining experience if we had not been freezing the whole time and I was frustrating to not be given an empty table inside when I did have a reservation and was not told when they called to confirm the reservation that we would have to eat outside and we could have planned accordingly.

    A dining treat in the heart of Old Town Fairfax. Wonderful food, (the shrimp risotto was amazing! as was the deconstructed lobster) paired with a terrific bottle of wine. Save room for desert - you won't regret it. This is a great spot for a quiet evening with great food and attentive service.

    We were here for a big bday and they printed Uk a special menu for us with the bday boys name. Everything was wonderful, the food, the service, the atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
