We had a delicious dinner at Hampton Social today. Smash burger was perfectly cooked and delicious. My husband loved the salmon. Cappuccino is also really good. We finished off with a delicious slice of keylime pie. Will be back again soon!! Thank you to Cory, great manager and staff.

The vibe this place gives is great, from Music to decor it is a win win. Service is always stellar here. The food is great. I especially love the Hampton Caesar salad and I add grilled chicken. Whenever the crumble is on the salad is so good and the chicken is the best! I've gotten many things here and I have never been disappointed. It's a place you're able to talk. Get good service and good food and it's in a great area. Hampton Social for brunch, great spot to meet up with friends, or a date. Give it a try.

Beautifully decorated inside and out. Absolutely loved all the feels we got from this. What we ordered: * Fried calamari * Shrimp Tacos * cocktails The fried calamari was perfection! A light and flavorful breading and cooked perfectly. The shrimp tacos were out of this world! Very flavorful and I loved the fresh sliced jalapeños added. Service was lacking. We stopped in for lunch for my friend's birthday. It was not busy and there were plenty of servers on shift. It took 15 minutes to get water. Our server asked if we needed a minute to look at the drinks, and we asked for 2 minutes. 15 minutes later she came back. At this time we ordered drinks and an appetizer. Our food was delivered by a food runner. Our waitress never came by to check on our food until it was gone. She was nice, however, definitely needs to work on her serving skills.

Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Price: 4/5 The food was really good, but pretty expensive. You can definitely find cheaper deals for oysters, pizza and tacos at other places. We spent over $100 for 2 appetizers and 2 mains. The inside of the restaurant was really colorful and bright. It's a beautiful place to have brunch or hold an event. We got the east coast oysters to share. It was about $25 for 6 oysters. The truffle fries were delicious and went great with the sauce. My fiancé got the four cheese pizza which was delicious. Each of the cheeses were fresh and went perfectly with the dough and sauce. I got the shrimp tacos which were generously filled with shrimp and quite large tacos. They definitely have a kick though and are a bit spicy so just be careful if you don't do well with spice. Service was definitely lacking though. Not sure if it's because there were too many people for the number of waiters, but our waitress forgot my fiancé's coke and they didn't come around to take away empty plates. We had finished our oysters early on in the meal and they left the large platter there for quite some time, even after we received our main dishes. Restrooms were a bit dirty as well. Bits of toilet paper were on the floor. Overall, a decent restaurant. You could come here for a nice date night, or a night out to get drinks with friends.

"Had a wonderful Christmas brunch here! The restaurant was festive, and Santa made an appearance, though he didn't come to the banquet area where we were seated, which disappointed us. Loved the thoughtful touches like cookies, hot chocolate, and Christmas drawings for the kids. The place was quite busy, but the food was good, and we had a great time overall. It's one of my favorite spots, and it didn't disappoint!"

Hampton Social offers a delightful dining experience with a warm and welcoming staff that ensures you feel right at home. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, creating a festive and cozy atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a memorable evening. One of the standout features was the live concert, which added a lively and entertaining vibe to the overall ambiance. The seating arrangements were comfortable and well-planned, and since we had pre-booked, the process was seamless and stress-free. As for the food, it was simply exceptional. Every dish we tried was flavorful and freshly prepared. As a vegetarian, I especially appreciated the soft and fresh tofu, which was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the other It's a great spot for a special occasion or a casual meal with friends and family. Highly recommended!

WHat an adorable place- screaming east coast vibes with the white washed wood and walls and blue and white dishes- this is completely my space! Several patios to choose from and walls that open to the outdoor spaces- truly allows the breeze to come thru and give you that feeling of being on the coast. The service was great. We had special orders and shellfish allergies and they had separate persons (maybe manager) bringing out those dishes to be sure that they were delivered correctly. We appreciated that. I ordered the ahi tuna salad and it was fantastic. The flavors and combinations in the salad make me want to come back asap. It was the exact light dish I was seeking for lunch and only wish there was one of these places in Texas.

I'm really sad they took away the chicken wings :( We came in the Knick of time for their happy hour, which was pretty nice. The parm truffle fries were crunchy and soft, and dusted in parm. The Brussels sprouts were a little too roasted for me, so it leaves me with this bitter aftertaste. But the flavors overall is great, we love the ones that are not too roasted. The Southampton pizza is pretty good, but it's too cheesy when it arrives. The whole thing kind of slides off, but it's better if you wait a few mins for it to cool down. The baja fish tacos were our favorite. The mango salsa and that green salsa makes it soo good! There's a big chunks of fish in the tacos too, so 3 is a pretty decent amount. We also love the honey cove drink! Always a favorite, but I also tried their non-alcoholic sparkling rose and that was delicious! Not too sweet. The service here is always prompts and all the wait staff are really nice too.
