Reviews
I absolutely love The Hampton Social! The food is always delicious, and I’m completely obsessed with their Parmesan fries and smash burger — it’s my go-to order every time! The flavors are amazing, and the quality is always consistent. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, making it such a great place to enjoy a meal. Definitely one of my favorite spots, and I always look forward to coming back!
Great experience. Subtle, upscale maritime theme, food was outstanding. We had the lobster roll, lobster melt w tomato bisque, and blackened sea bass along with a dynamite shrimp appetizer and it was all top tier. Drinks are expensive but as far as seafood goes, reasonably priced. We celebrated a birthday and even surprised us. Caramel lava cake was also unique, cinnamon-y, and a new favorite. Will return!!
Excellent menu with good variety including seafood options. Service was efficient and friendly. Food was served hot and there was not a long wait. The tomato bisque was thick and zesty. The french dip sandwich was tender and juicy even before dipping. Salmon was outstanding. Fish and chips were delicious. Definitely would return and explore the menu further.
I went there with a friend. Everything was kinda good. But I wasn't sure about gettigratuity on our bill. I did not mind tipping because I always tip 20%+ but we were just 2 people I assumed that gratuity was not supposed to be automatically added. Maybe the restaurant's policy, I don’t know I just want to make sure. Anyway, I liked food and drinks and atmosphere.
Amazing food and service! Out of my Chicago stay, this was my favorite place. My nutella french toast was so delicious 😋 There was live music and the staff were all wonderful. I hope to return again soon. Absolutely recommend if you enjoy good things!
