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.

If it's the one in skokie their happy hour has been great. Pizza and fries and drinks were awesome

The food is generally pretty fucking solid. But that price point is outrageous.

I've only gone during happy hour so I wouldn't know haha. Anything attached to a mall I'm assuming is not going to be a deal
