We went to Hamrock's last Sunday for their Lobster Night and they had lots of gf options, just not listed on their menu. My husband and I both had wonderful gf meals but I'm the only Celiac. My husband had the Tomato Caprese salad, the Maine Lobster and Flourless Chocolate Delight Cake, while I had the Lobster Bisque and the Chesapeake Crab Cake (which was phenomenal) with the Flourless Chocolate Delight Cake. My husband was raised by his Italian grandmother who was a phenomenal cook and he has never found a better crab cake than the one she used to make, he took a bite of mine and said it was just as good as hers. He has also tried crab cakes at a few other places in the area, including Annapolis but was disappointed at those other places.

The chef will come out and walk you through their whole process to avoid cross contamination. They have a whole separate kitchen area dedicated to gluten free including fryers.

Almost every item on the menu is GF! They even have cake! The only item I’ve had that was mediocre was the fried chicken. Everything else has been fantastic! Especially the shrimp stuffed crab and French fries!

They also have GF beer.

Tons of gluten free options. Great food. The fried chicken is gluten free and freaking AMAZING. I was told the corn muffins were gluten free only to have a MAJOR episode later so I'm pretty sure our waiter was misinformed.

I loved the fact that almost everything is GF. I had the crab cakes and creme brulee for dessert

Absolutely love this place! My friends and I have been going there for the past 2 years and we love it. They have so many gluten feee options because the kitchen is almost completely gluten free. From mini crab cakes, to fried calamari, fried chicken dishes, to bread at the table, and French toast. If you’re in Fairfax you should consider stoping in for a bite.

Celiac friendly?

Dedicated kitchen space and fryer! The staff is very knowledgeable about what is safe and what isn’t. They take extra steps to make me sure I know what their preparation process is. The food is also delicious! I haven’t gotten sick in the past and it’s become a regular restaurant for us.
