The Hampton Social - Skokie

A solid experience was had here about 2 months ago for a weeknight dinner.L Rob, my 2 year old and I met up in wonderful Old Orchard for a sample of the HS scene in Skokie.Honestly this wasn't my 1st choice coming here but I was pleasantly surprised at the courtesy waitstaff and the food overall. Of course the decor was typical of all other locations but it is what it is! We all know it's about the people watching there!I had the Baja Fish Tacos which was tasty, fresh and great! My only beef was the lack of hot sauce available for this dish! Oh I forgot we started with the Beet Salad which was soooooo good!I would def come back but perhaps for a later dinner and some cocktails! Yes there is plenty of mall parking available.

I've been here a couple times. The ambience is light and airy. The location is best when it is warm outside and they open all the windows and let the breeze in and let the outside come inside and vice versa. I've been for lunch, brunch, and early dinner. It's not a big menu, and they don't have a lot of options for me as I'm not a fish eater nor a salad eater. So I've had both the Smash Burger and the Shelter Island Chicken Sandwich. Both are decent enough, but neither are something to write home about; however both are solid options if you are a pickier eater like I am. The "handhelds" (sandwiches) come with house potato chips (does not state whether they are homemade or not, and truthfully, they weren't memorable enough to make me think they were). I've heard others like their salads and the fish and seafood options, so I'll say that those are probably your better options if you like those kinds of foods. They do have some interesting specialty cocktails and they are worth trying out. If you like one, don't just stick with it, force yourself to try the other drinks they make as they do a good job. As for their weekend brunch, the monkey bread is always a fun and tasty option. They have nice pancakes and the Bananas Foster French Toast is a treat. Their Fried Chicken Stack is very good and should be on their normal menu. On the sweet side, the donut drops are great and so is their banana cream pie!However, with so many options available (just in the mall alone), I don't understand how this is a destination. To me it seems a little overly pretentious for what it is and a little pricey for what they offer. However, if you're visiting restaurants not just for the food but also for the prettiness of the interior/exterior for your Instagram page, then this is the place for you. To me, it's just ok.

Food was really good but service had issues Our server forgot about us several times. Ambience was nice. I will return

Service was excellent. While it took a little while after being seated to get the servers attention, once they were there they were attentive. The presentation was clean and the interior was delightfully green. The food stole the show though. The Hampton Caesar is a must, make sure to add the steak. The Parmesan fries were as crispy as you could want them.

I've been here numerous times over the years, and while the decor and atmosphere seem promising, I always leave just whelmed, lol. I'm not overwhelmed or underwhelmed, just whelmed. The service has been okay. The food is okay for the price. I've had their lobster roll, the burger, the pasta, mac & cheese, and various appetizers, and they're okay. It's a good place for large groups and even for kids. The drinks are usually good, and on my latest visit, I was pleased to see they had mocktails as well.

Loved everything about our meal here, except our waiter. He never came back to the table and offered to get refills, and seemed like he was only there to take the order, as another gentleman delivered our food. Aside from that we really loved the open-space feel and chill vibes. The musician was stellar on the day we were there (wish I'd gotten his name). Ordered a Caesar salad and added shrimp to the salad and I REGRET NOTHING! The salad was FANTASTIC! Would I go back? For sure! Would I actually know where to park this time--also yes!

I went here with my family for their Sunday brunch. They had live music with a young man playing acoustic guitar which was a chill vibe. Their food menu had a lot of variety, but it almost seemed like they were trying to combine too many things into their dishes. I've been to Hampton Social in Nashville. Their menus definitely have some differences.We ordered some appetizers and entrees. The food wasn't bad but seemed overpriced for what it was. Our server was friendly and attentive.

Perfect brunch spot, the decor and vibe is relaxing and fancy. The place is always busy so better have a reservation. Craft cocktails are delicious and picture worth looking. Variety of brunch entrees is amazing and everyone was able to find what they want. The service was a bit slow as the place was busy, but our waiter was very friendly and nice!

Since our previous visit, Hampton Social seems to have become more polished and ingrained as a "you gotta go there" kind of place. It's bright and outdoorsy country club-ish. Overall, the place somehow lifts spirits such that even non-drinkers feel "high." But the noise level still challenges conversation and steep menu prices have gotten even steeper (where haven't they?).As observed by other Yelpers, those with dietary restrictions might feel challenged by the menu. But the kitchen is flexible and will gladly modify dishes upon request. My Missus is averse to cheese, her sis is diabetic, her daughter is vegetarian, and I can't stomach raw tomatoes. No problem! Our server was conscientious and helpful, and with a great sense of humor.Our party of 6 ordered from the Sunday brunch menu. We indulged in Bang Bang Chicken, Bananas Foster French Toast, Fried Chicken Stack, Denver Scramble, Sunrise Beach Bowl, and Hampton Caesar Salad with grilled chicken (me). All were prepared flawlessly and the portions were ample. Every dish delighted the eyes and taste buds. Mellow oldies performed by a guitar-playing vocalist added to our enjoyment.

My family and I came here to celebrate Mother's Day with the in-laws. This is a huge restaurant plenty of seating. Very well lit with natural sunlight all through the restaurant. A beautiful bar with two huge televisions. Diana is our server for the afternoon very attentive. Our first course was a shrimp and crab bruschetta very good. I ordered the New England clam chowder for brunch. My only discrepancy so far is not having ice in my water. The kitchen is running a little behind and both the floor manager and Diana came to let us know right away. Excellent customer service. Well our entrée eventually came and it worth the wait. Below are the pictures of our entree's.
