About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood 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.

    Absolutely delicious food - my avocado and chicken salad was fresh and flavorful. I can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Don't say no to the bread basket!

    The waiter was exceptional. Noise is bad when the place (room) is full. I like the fried chicken, but I wish they had dark meat. The white fries chicken was so dry. All the moisture was gone in the white meat. The price is very good!

    The food was good & service was fine until our bills came. They got our meals, appetizers & desserts all mixed up on each couple's bill. We had asked before ordering if they could do this & the answer was yes. Luckily it got straightened out. One other item - a table of 4 people were so loud it was hard to hear. My husband & I have dined here before & it usually is not quite so noisy.

    Have eaten here several times and loved it but tonight was a disappointment. Service was slow and some of the food was cold. Will try again but they definitely were having an off night

    Great food and service for six of us celebrating a special day. Wonderful ambience—welcoming and comfortable. Drinks were served at the perfect temperature. Steaks, seafood, salad, and pasta (well, Lobster Ravioli!) were outstanding, as were the popover rolls and mini corn muffins. Dessert—chocolate cake—was extra yummy, and best of all, the service was fabulous!

    Had a wonderful lunch, as usual. My salad was fresh and crisp , salmon done perfectly. The bread is to die for, too good to resist. Everyone truly enjoyed their meal. The service was excellent, always is. The four of us were full but couldn’t resist sharing their delicious homemade ice cream!
