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.

Good menu choices; some of the food was not as flavorful as expected. Very good service. Not a quiet place for close conversations, but then again they do advertise as a dinner. I’d recommend it for a casual outing.

Michael in the bar lounge always takes the best care of us and makes the best martinis. The burger and steak sandwich at lunch were cooked to perfection. Both had outstanding flavor.

We've always had great experiences with Texas de Brazil at Fair Oaks, this was no exception. Everything was excellent, including the new bacon-wrapped jalapenos. Our server, Joshua, was attentive, responsive, and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit!
