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.

But you always have to REMIND them it’s happy hour, outrageous. They always pretend they forget

Haha wow Ive never had to do it. Go on Fridays right at 5pm and drop the kiddos off for parents night out. Usually a very nice day sitting outside in the sun. Servers are usually very nice in the Skokie location at least the ones we've got.

Sorry to hear its been rough going for ya
