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.

    I have been to Hamrocks several times before and enjoyed it but this visit was very disappointing. We went on Christmas Eve. The outside of the restaurant was very festive but the room we sat in was very bland. Plane wood tables with brown placemats. No candles, no flowers or anything suggesting it was a holiday season. We ordered the shrimp appetizer and it came out cold. One member or a party ordered a steak and instead they brought a fillet of fish. It then took 15 minutes for them to bring out her steak. By that time everyone else had long finished their dinner. The management did not offer any compensation for their mistake. I will not be going back there anytime soon.

    I like ve this restaurant. The atmosphere is quaint, being in a historic home. The food was excellent. Great gluten-free options. We had crab cakes and a salmon salad. Both were perfect.

    Pros: We were a party of five with brunch reservations. We were seated promptly at a nice table. Our server was great, didn’t rush us and was friendly. Our meals came out timely and all together. The historic house where Hamrock’s is located is quite nice and surprisingly quiet. Cons: Mimosas were totally flat, not a bubble in sight. Meal temperatures were lukewarm. Tater tots instead of home fries and they were cold. Menu online didn’t sync with the actual menu with regard to some items (one that I had chosen to try) and prices have been raised though not unexpected in these times. As much as I wanted to like this place, I’ll not be returning. Everything was great…except the food and drinks!

    Hammocks was a great place to have a weekend dinner. When you enter the restaurant it makes you feel as if you are dining in a converted home - because that's what it is. It has a quiant atmosphere and great food. Would recommend.
