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.

The B Side, our neighborhood joint situated next door to Red Apron at Mosaic, is an amalgamation of all the things we love the most: crazy good food prepared simply; way too many wines; stiff drinks made by pros who know how to make them; a mind-boggling beer list; killer tunes on the turntable and a scene that has no patience for pretense. This is B Side.

I took my friend to Buonaroti's for a birthday lunch. The restaurant wasn't very full but the service and quality were as good as they are when we have gone for dinner and the restaurant is packed. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I had veal with lobster which was delicious and the veal was very tender. My friend had linguine with seafood was was equally pleased. I highly recommend Buonaroti's for a special meal.

Wonderful experience. My friend and I had a lovely time. We were warmly greeted by the host, my gluten free request due to Celiac disease were respectfully handled. I had a delicious salad of burrata on heirloom tomatoes with a balsamic reduction and Coquille St. Jacques, perfectly cooked. My friend enjoyed an eggplant Parmesan appetizer and Haddock en Papiollte that looked amazing. For dessert, she had a raspberry gateaux and cream puff and I, a crème brullee and chocolate mousse. Everything was delicious. Absolutely beautiful dining area, friendly and knowledgable waitstaff. Truly, a great experience.

The cocktails and beer selection were both top notch. The food was also really tasty with their own take on some pub dishes that raised the bar and elevated the experience. And it’s amazing inside. We will definitely go back regularly!
