“I am hesitant about rating this place cause it’s my special Wednesday place. I love everything about this place, the service, the food and they wines they showcase on their Wednesday wine and pizza night.
My brother in law came across this Wednesday wine and pizza night and we have been doing it for about 6-7 months. We never miss a Wednesday, my sister and brother in law drive from Ashburn to Fairfax! Rain or shine or snow! If they are open we are there.
We love everyone there. All the employees are super friendly and most of all the recognize us. That is super super nice, we are not just another customer.
Andy’s pizza is the best pizza, we cannot HAE any other pizza anymore and the wings are out of this world. If you haven’t tried Andy’s, you are missing out.“

“A friend and I had an excellent lunch at Hamrock's. We shared an appetizer of deviled eggs, which were the best I have ever had. We had the chicken salad, which was delicious, and limoncello cake-to die for. Oh yes, the popovers and small round rolls were also tasty. I would be happy to repeat the experience any time. Parking at the restaurant is a bit of a problem, but there is additional parking across the street.“

“I’m only in town for a week, but have already been here twice since it’s short trip from where I’m staying and I enjoy a good brew pub. Ate at the bar both times. Food and service were 💯both times. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the supreme pizza. Meatloaf was great, pizza’s ok. I tried both their hazy beers and the Freedom and Founders IPAs, all good choices. I’m planning on bringing my husband for my 3rd visit before heading home. Looking forward to having the Stroganoff pasta on my next visit. Would highly recommend for food and craft beer selections.“

The shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious, and the chicken and waffles were even better than the ones I’ve had in Louisiana. Everything about the visit was great. Highly recommend.

“Nice, chill location. the food was good. I ordered the 10pc wings with fries. I don't recommend getting the honey mustard sauce. it's the cost of a drink🥴, literally. Why something the same size as ranch or blue cheese costs the same as a drink (while the ranch and blue cheese don't cost extra), I'm not sure. If you're like me and don't eat ranch or blue cheese, bring your own honey mustard. other than that, I highly recommend.“
