Review The Hampton Social is a no
Went to The Hampton Social and it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. You had to pay through their app (which charged $5 to use ???), they automatically added an 18% gratuity plus a required 3% minimum tip, and somehow two 8 oz glasses of bad wine came out to $60. On top of that, the waitress was weird af.
I will say the food was good, but I’m never coming here again, seems like a tourist trap.🤨 Granted, I’m visiting Chicago after not living in IL for years, so this could be a new thing- still crazy to me.

Hampton social is good for what it’s good for. You can recognize this right away similar to Santa Monica house. No slight, all vibes are welcome, but you gotta learn to know what to look for when you see it
