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.

    Food was good for the price. Unfortunately we were seated next to a family with very unruly children. Not a place for a special occasion, but we will most likely return for a casual meal.

    This is one of our favorite places to dine and it again did not disappoint. The food was delicious, we both had one of the specials the Chicken Picante. The service was fabulous and the atmosphere is perfect for a quiet dinner.

    I enjoyed the restaurant, but the entrance to the restaurant is not mobility-challenged friendly. There should be a ramp and the existing steps should be updated.

    Two celiacs in our family like the choices here. Try to avoid those “extended family” hours when it can get quite noisy inside. Back yard al fresco dining is nice when weather permits. Very good food.
