Savor the Flavor of Fairfax at Hamrock's Restaurant
At Hamrock's Restaurant, we're proud to be a part of the community in downtown Fairfax, Virginia. Our restaurant is located in the historic Moore-McCandlish House, which dates back to 1842. This charming building has seen its fair share of history, hosting two U.S. Presidents and playing a role in the Civil War. We're honored to be a part of this rich history and to be serving the community that we love.
