Well if you would like an "old school" diner experience where everyone knows one another & the staff is extremely polite & friendly.... This is the perfect spot! (It's a tad scary...) We stopped here for a quick breakfast before the Daytona 500 thanks to finding it online. It's not necessarily the most eye "flattering" on the outside... Or the inside but we enjoyed our experience here very much. The food here was normal breakfast food, nothing exciting. I would like to personally come back for some of their friend chicken everyone raves about. The reasoning for the four stars hands down goes to the staff here. Each of the ladies working here were beyond polite, efficient & friendly. They make you feel very welcome & comfortable. Great job to the hard working experienced ladies, it's some of the better service here in Daytona. read more

Went to Hampton's today with my co-worker.. the food was just ok... I played it safe... I order chicken with fry"s and fried okra... the chicken was dry to me... but Ros she like it read more

See all

My fiance and I have ordered fish sandwiches from Hampton's twice and both times have been very satisfied. They really know how to season the fish and build that sandwich. The first sandwich was fried Catfish and I have never liked catfish, but ate every bit of that sandwich!! Fries are average, but their coleslaw is to die for (in my taste). It's creamy and flavorful. We love their coleslaw so much we order it by the pint to eat with our home cooked meals! :) You also can't beat the prices! We pay under $20 for two fish sandwiches with fries and slaw. We will definitely be back! Maybe try the chicken next time, since that is what they are known for. Note: they are a CASH ONLY restaurant! read more

The place is become a dive it is run down and the check is not as good as it used to be I made sure I locked the doors to my car before I went in and there is Grimd and grease everywhere inside the place I would not recommend going back read more

Def not a 5 star restaurant but the food and service is just downright old school which I love. The chicken is great and the breakfast hits the spot. If you're looking for a fancy cafe or something look somewhere else. This is your everyday spot. Definitely check it out. And bring cash!! read more

The first five star rating ever . For under ten bucks I enjoyed a thigh breast and leg mash potato Lima bean soup and house salad . Nice booths excellence service and the best fried chicken cooked in a pressure cooker I have ever eaten . Nuff said read more

Fried chicken was great, but the re-fried chicken was terrible. On the 4-piece fried chicken plate; 2 pieces were excellent, and 2 pieces were doubled fried and so tough that they were not edible. They replaced ONE piece with fresh chicken. The waitress said, "this cook usually doesn't re-fry stuff, but the other cook probably would read more

Best fried chicken in Daytona Beach, here visiting from Memphis had to go here, service was great, staff friendly prices very reasonable.

Went to try the world famous fried chicken and it let me down it was not world famous or the best. Might try it again. The service was very good nice and friendly with a big old smile. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. This is home cookin from the south. Great food, staf is usually friendly. Only draw back: no credit cards accepted. read more

This is some straight-up, no-frills, solid, country-fied, diner food. They have all of the basics -- biscuits and gravy in the am, fried chicken at lunch. The menu is simple and what they have, or at least what we had of it, was done well. Service with a smile from ladies whom the phrase "nice as pie" was coined for. Go and eat well, just make sure you've got your Lipitor at the ready. read more

Finally stopped by, and it was worth it, regardless of being cash only! Plenty of seating and the staff was great! Food was even better, huge portions and cooked perfectly. Came in for my lunch hour and was in and out in plenty of time to get back to work totally stuffed! read more

Hampton's is like walking back in time to sometime in the 1970s: The hand-drawn pictures of Richard Petty on the wall, the tile-top tables, the older waitresses who call everybody "Hon," the fact that they don't take credit cards . . . . Strictly diner fare, but my, the fried chicken is outstanding. Really, there is no reason to be here other than to eat fried chicken. read more

I'm sitting in front of the cinnamon rolls and there's gnats flying on them

The best fried chicken from jacksonville to orlando! The mac salad is the next best thing.

Their chicken is off the chain!!!! Yes it's a dive restaurant but the staff were friendly and the food was good as hell. You must try their fried chicken. It's absolutely delicious!!! read more

My wife and I went in for the first time last Sunday and bought breakfast. I ordered a sausage omelet with home fries and toast, my wife ordered 2 eggs over medium with home fries and biscuit. I asked for my omelet to be well done, home fries well done after asking if they were fried or on the grill ( was told on the grill). They were not busy at all about 930am, after a couple of minutes the food came right out. The eggs were bearly luke warm, the sausage had no temperature. The home fries were cold... My wife's eggs were cold and not fully cooked as well as cold home fries. We will not be back... read more

The best fried chicken in Florida!! Staff is very courteous and the portions are generous

We have gone here twice and have had to get up and walk out before food arrived twice! We won't be back for a third attempt. The first time we went my husband ordered chicken livers and it was about 15 minutes when the server came back to say they were out of chicken livers! They took that long to realize that. So my husband proceeded to order something else. We sat there and waited and waited and other customers were getting orders. After about another 20 minutes and no food we just got up and left. Another customer in there mentioned that it best to call ahead and place order because it does a while sometimes. Well fast forward about another month and we give it another try because we really wanted to try the fried chicken. I called ahead about 15 minutes before we arrived and placed the order. We get there and not one of the serving staff are wearing masks. Whatever! We go sit down and the server comes up and we tell we Called our order in. She seemed very annoyed. Took our drink order. I asked to keep one of the menus to look at. That seemed to annoy her. She brought the drinks and I asked to ad a order of fries. She rolled her eyes and just walked away! At this point we were done! We got up and walked out and told them how rude she was! We will never go back there again! read more

Despite the cash only debacle, the seedy neighborhood. the increased prices, the lack of oysters or icecream, and the disappointing chocolate pie...........I still give 4 stars to this yummy restaurant. the chicken and chicken livers were excellent and the homemade fresh veggies (a rare treat in our area restaurants} were superb. We will be making the over 15 mile round trip very often. See my Ormond Beach friends there! read more

Fried chicken was excellent. Not greasy, just super tasty. Burger was very good too, though I wish fries were fresh.

Hamptons is a diamond in the rough among the run down section of Daytona Beach on Mason Ave, this part of town may look a bit dangerous for the more fare skinned suburbanites among us, but for most it's an acceptable level of seedy. Hamptons itself is just fine on the inside featuring tables, booths, and counter service, this gem of southern cooking is cozy and comfortable. Heads up they only accept cash, which is hard for those of us who rely on plastic. I've been hearing for years about the wonder of Hamptons fried chicken and I was looking to score, but I doubted the feasibility of this seeing as it was ten in the morning. Much to my wonder our friendly (and slightly medicated, she let us know she took something for her back pain) waitress said they had chicken all day and even had a fried chicken breakfast special with optional sides of eggs, hash browns, and grits, I opted for the biscuits and gravy with a chicken thigh on the side for sampling. Our service was great and entertaining (they even have a one armed server who is extremely skilled at the arts of waitress-ing with her nub), by entertaining I mean our server had my whole table in stitches laughing the whole meal, we even had some tables near us rolling as well. The food was great, better than average, but not the best around, but that chicken was unbelievable, best I've had ever eaten hands down. If you are a fried chicken fan you need to go in the car right now and head down to Hamptons and even if you are not I bet theirs will make you a believer. read more

Excellent food. I have been eating at this establishment for a very long time. I have never been disappointed.

love this place. not fancy at all, in fact quite plain. but boy can they cook a chicken. went with a large group of family and the orders ranged from chilly dogs to prime rib!! everyone left stuffed and happy. also have great breakfast. read more

This is my second trip to this location. Lived in deland for many years and ate the chicken many times... it's very good. On to Daytona...the first time i went there, i of course got the fried chicken because it's that good and it was lunchtime. The blonde waitress brought me a completely different order... without me saying anything, a few moments later she realized her mistake and brought me the food i had ordered...I let it pass.. anyone can have a bad day. This time i went for breakfast. Now this place was not overly busy either time, but it took 15 minutes to get a cup of coffee and i had to ask her twice for creamer...so she took my order for country fried steak and eggs, extra crispy home fries and toast. The food came pretty fast and i was surprised. The steak and eggs were delicious, but the cream gravy was completely flavorless, potatoes were barely warm and not even close to crispy...BUT you could have busted up concrete with the toast! Coffee is good, had to go get my own refill though, even though she just refilled the cups at a table ten feet from me!. So i ate the steak and eggs and spent my last penny in hamptons. At least at Denny's when you tell the waitress how you want something cooked it's usually correct. By the way...it was the same blonde waitress both times...so i guess she wasn't just having a bad day after all..In closing, if you don't want fried chicken...go somewhere else. read more

My Father LOVED Hamptons...He had been going there since it Opened, My Brother and I also Love it, Its Like a Family Tradition...Its a part of us......Hamptons is a Placer to meet Friends because Hamptons is a Friend......The BEST. read more

I have to click a star to put in my review. Seriously this food was terrible. Let's start with the fried chicken no flavor at all, Mac n Cheese no flavor and the mash potato was yellow. I mean this is NOT southern food. People really go and get good fried chicken some place else. I was robbed today $27.00 and I don't like just giving my money away. I should have had a slice of pizza, much cheaper and satisfying. My kid who does not say much about food said to me " mom this doesn't taste so good " and he just pushed it away.. Now I have to get food else where, sucks spending money and not getting the quality you anticipated!!!! read more

This is a great family oriented restaurant. I have been going to this restaurant for many years and have always had good service with a friendly atmosphere. They have great home cooked meals and a large variety of dishes on their menu. Breakfast is served all day as well as dinner served in the morning. They have the best fried chicken in the area and on Fridays they have the best prime rib. You will not be disappointed. read more

I really want to give four stars because of the fried chicken. LOVED IT! But the quality of the sides and the cleanliness factor most definitely dragged my rating down. I went with my girlfriend and we each ordered fried chicken. My sides were fries and spiced apples. Hers were mashed potato/gravy and fried ocra. I would order the fries and the fried ocra again, but definitely not the spiced apples and probably not the mashed potato. It was just ok. The apples were not very soft and not very spiced, just bland and unappealing. Don't bother saying yes to the rolls and muffins that they bring to the table. The rolls were hard. The muffins were unobjectionable. Price was more than fair and our waitress was very nice. CASH ONLY!!! I would not discourage you from going, but make sure it's for the fried chicken and choose your sides wisely. Bathrooms are a little sketchy on the cleanliness. But again...very friendly and pleasant waitstaff that made you feel at home! read more
