What I had was the fajita omelette. Needed salt and pepper and the salsa did the heavy lifting on the flavor of the omelette. My wife had the breakfast wrap and she even mentioned that she needed to add salt to it. The kids seemed to like their meal. So it wasn't a complete miss.

The inside of the restaurant has table and bench seating, as well as a large square shaped bar with plenty of seats. The booths are hardwood not padded, and the tables are solid metal. Their signature item is fried chicken. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Doughnuts. It comes with 2 pieces of chicken, 2 doughnuts and a side of mashed potatoes for $32. We thought it was a perfect meal to share between two because each person gets a piece of fried chicken and a doughnut. The chicken is extra greasy and topped with powdered sugar. It was very good but it still does not rate as highly as Publix or KFC for me. The doughnut was great. I would compare it to a fresh glazed from Krispy Kreme. Service was excellent. We were seated immediately, and greeted at our table by a friendly and efficient server. Overall, everything went well. The prices are high but this is expected due to the location. I would definitely return to try more of the menu.

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.

Our group had 6 people, and once seated, everything went smoothly. We ordered the original avocado toast, huevos rancheros, 2 kids breakfast platters with chocolate milk, burritos, monte cristo, breakfast classic, a hot matcha latte, and orange juice. Everything came out hot and fresh, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. The customer service was on point the entire time, and the staff made us feel welcomed. Overall, we had a really good time and would definitely come back!

Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here…read more Just a heads up this place is loud so this is not the restaurant you want to have an intimate conversation. However, it is quite fun, when we got there on a Saturday night, they were having a Taylor Swift look alike performance. I absolutely loved it. It turned out it was happening every hour so we were able to watch her perform twice. They also had someone selling jewelry and an artist painting, overall it is such a fun vibe. If you want a standard table, you need to make a reservation, I made a reservation like 15 minutes before and they only had outdoor seating and high tops available. We chose a high top and it was fine. They do have a kids menu so my son was able to order a cheese pizza with a side of fries and the other one ordered a chicken quesadilla with a side of fruit. On the kids menu it says cheese quesadilla but he really wanted chicken, I was surprised the chicken was a bit spicy. He ate a couple bites and then asked for his own cheese pizza after seeing his brothers. All the plates are meant to be shared so they come out whenever they're ready. My older son's cheese pizza came out immediately and then my younger son's chicken quesadilla came out after all our food had been delivered. I think this is what made him want a cheese pizza because he didn't have his own meal for majority of the time we were eating. When we finally ordered his cheese pizza it then took a long time to come out. I'm guessing it's because it's woodfired and his pizza was behind a ton of other pizzas whereas with my older son we must've ordered at a good time. My absolute favorite dish was the marinated cucumbers. It was a light and delicious. It reminds me of what I find at a Japanese restaurant. I also got the butter chicken, it was OK. I didn't find the chicken super tender so I would skip it next time. We also got the maple glazed chicken wings. I found the breading to be overly salty. I ended up taking off all of the breading and my younger son ate a ton of the chicken. I would skip it next time. We got the steak skewers, which were pretty delicious. Again didn't love it so probably would get something else next time. My husband did not like his ribs so he definitely should skip that next time. So overall, the food was OK, but my kids absolutely destroyed their pizza and I love the atmosphere, which is why I'm giving this place four stars. I see that it has great potential. If parking is a problem, I recommend parking at icon park and walking because it's about five minutes away. Our server was super nice, she was a bit slow, but she also had a giant table next to us, which could've contributed to that. I would definitely come back. I enjoyed our experience here.

My husband had the Peruvian shrimp with yellow rice, salad, and black beans. We were both raving about the taste while eating. They have a range of dishes from across Latin America, and lots of gluten free options. They aren't safe for celiacs though. They use a shared fryer. If you are super sensitive or have celiac, just beware of that. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Conveniently located in the theme parks area near Orlando. You should not miss this restaurant. Try something new if you've never tasted Latin American cuisine, or try it if you've grown up with it. You won't go wrong and you'll likely be back.

We absolutely loved our Cuban sammies which came on thick and sweet bread. My kids kept it simple with tenders and fries and also enjoyed! They have a big drink selection and you can find everything from juices to fresh cocktails. The biggest hit was their large indoor screened patio - perfect for my kids to run around. If you want to avoid fast food but also don't feel like taking your kids to a proper sit down restaurant than this is a really great option.

Luckily, after calling them, they were able to reserve me a seat at 8:30pm. I wanted to go to PBR first before dinner, but they were not open yet. When I checked in to Hampton Social around 7:30 just to confirm my reservation, they are actually able to seat me immediately. I tried their Sand and Smoke drink (17 dollars), which was their take of the old fashioned. It was a much stronger drink than I expected, with the bourbon being wonderful. Definitely put me in happyland, even after finishing dinner. I took the shrimp tacos for dinner (27 dollars), and there were three tacos with plump shrimp, jalapenos, salsa, slaw, and spicy sauce. I enjoyed every bite since the shrimp and veggies were fresh, and the sauce was spicy! It was definitely a legit taco, and even better than some of the other taco restaurants I go to. I really loved it. For dessert, I could not resist the banana cream pie (15 dollars), which was quite huge and plentiful. I savored the bananas, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and even the waffle. It was that good, and it was large enough to take home. When I took it home, my mom even loved it and took a lot. If it wasn't 15 bucks, I would have bought another one. The service was wonderful, and my server took great care of me. Paying by Inkind was very easy and I was able to take advantage of the promotion as well. The atmosphere is upscale, but I might have missed the live music if there was anything offered that day. As I mentioned in my previous review, it's definitely a more expensive restaurant than The American Social. But it is more upscale and has better food. If you download the Inkind app and get a promotion, definitely use it here. Unfortunately, they don't validate parking here, but it's definitely worth visiting Pointe Orlando to eat here. Overall: A

The happy hour specials are definitely worth taking advantage of. For food, we tried the buffalo cauliflower, truffle fries, and the Wagyu beef taco. Everything was very good. The taco is more of a creative twist--it's essentially a hamburger-style patty served in a taco shell, topped with pickles, lettuce, and aïoli. The buffalo cauliflower was nicely prepared with a drizzle of aïoli, and the truffle fries came with a flavorful dipping sauce. Drink specials were also appealing, with select canned beers priced at $6 and house wines at $9. One thing to note is that an automatic 18% gratuity is added to all checks, which the restaurant explains helps support staff during the off-season. The ambiance stood out--upscale, clean, and fresh, with a relaxed open-air vibe. It wasn't overly busy on a Wednesday around 4 PM, which made for a very enjoyable and comfortable experience. Overall, a great spot with a lively yet laid-back atmosphere.
