Yesterday, I was at O'Hare Terminal 5 waiting for my flight to board when a delay happened. No biggie as this is what happens in today's world. So, I'm walking around, and being a bit hungry I saw The Hampton Social satellite restaurant and decided to give this famous restaurant a try; and it was packed, which was a good sign. I ordered their fried chicken sandwich with Cole slaw. I got a stool at the bar and waited for my number to be called. Within 10 minutes "5120" was hollered "your order is ready for pick up". I grabbed my bag, walked over to my stool and lo and behold I got a very salty smash burger with fries? What the hell? I didn't have the time to replace this mishap, so I ate as much my palette could handle. I was disappointed and salted out. I'm sure their regular stand alone restaurant is good and something like this would never happen.......but there I was very dejected! read more

After my flight was delayed 2 hours, I decided I needed something to eat. The Hampton Social was close to my gate and they had seats open and available. I decided on the breakfast sandwich and an espresso martini. The breakfast sandwich was delicious! It came with scrambled eggs, cheddar and bacon on a toasted buttery croissant. It was absolutely delicious! It also came with a side of fruit (pineapple, honeydew and grapes), which was very fresh and also delicious. To drink I had an espresso martini. It was very good. My server and bartender was Sean. He was attentive and checked in on me often. I also found out they offer their cocktails to go. This is good to know if you're trying to catch your flight. For the breakfast sandwich and espresso martini it cost about $40 including tax. I found that to be very reasonable considering it's at the airport. read more

You really can't go into an airport bar expecting much, but this place actually surprised me, in a good way. The service was friendly and fast, and my chicken sandwich was way better than I expected. Sure, the prices were steep but that's annoyingly the airport tax we all accept to survive between flights. Compared to the Italian place nearby (can't even remember the name), this bar wins. At least they noticed I existed, which is more than I can say for the other spot. Also, $22 for a glass of Prosecco? Hard pass, so I walked over to Hampton Social. I really hate giving 4 stars to a place that's a bit overpriced, it feels like I'm part of the problem. But honestly, will my tiny act of rebellion in the form of a few less stars change anything? Doubt it. So fine, I'll rate it on the food and service alone. Both were solid. The chicken sandwich hit the spot, the staff was friendly, and everything ran smoothly. The prices? Typical airport extortion but I guess that's what we pay for the privilege of eating next to a boarding gate. read more

Food was great! I had the infamous lobster roll, $37.50! I only did so because Delta gave me some meal vouchers for $24 for being 5 hours delayed. The lobster was tender and flavorful, the roll was buttery and a good balance of toasty and soft. I dinged the 3 stars because the bartender was a rude and had the personality of a doorknob. The asked if it was "for here or to go", and when I said "to go" he rolled his eyes. I came to realize that he was the only person on staff that knew how to redeem vouchers, so he was pressed to step away from the bar and run the food register. After that, the numbskull who didn't know how to use the register packed my order and seeing me sitting a mere 10 feet away, stayed still after calling my order and acted too annoyed or tired to hand it to me. I'm not lazy, but I was also trying to pull my luggage and get my backpack on before heading over. With all this, and the airport prices, I wouldn't come back. read more

The Hampton Social has a pleasant atmosphere overall. The bar area was large and spacious. I ordered the salmon which had a honey sauce that was too sweet for my taste. (To be clear it was a honey sauce so I should have expected a sweetness). Service was quick and pleasant. I was surprised to find a 18% service charge added to the bill. I would prefer the restaurant just include the price in the food price and be more transparent. But if you prefer to have the tip included this may work well for you. read more

The Hampton Social - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Usually airport food is way overpriced and low quality. I was very surprised by my meal here as the price was reasonable (by airport standards, not normal restaurant standards haha). The service was soo friendly and attentive. The burger itself was a little greasy but it was very very good, much better than what I was expecting. The fries were also very crispy and they gave a LOT. I ended up not even being able to completely finish my food! read more

The Hampton Social - Cheeseburger with Fried Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This restaurant/bar bucks the trend of bad airport food. Easy top choice if I'm ever transiting in ORD terminal 5. Great friendly service from the bartender. Both the chicken sandwich and the burger were comparable to good restaurants not inside an airport. Chicken was crispy and well fried, burger patty was simultaneously charred, juicy, and tender. read more

The Hampton Social - breakfast sandwich and side of fruit bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Newly open in Terminal 5. Hampton Social brings American fare to the airport. Food aims to please everyone. This location has breakfast, coffee and dinner options. Liquor options including Frose and bubbles options. Overall my husband was impressed with his breakfast sandwich and served with fresh fruit. Double whiskey was made with Bulleit. Nice place to unwind before a flight. read more

I'm SO GLAD to have actual sit down food options in terminal 5! The people here were so friendly, but I will say I was a little disappointed with the food. I got the smashburger and although it tasted good, it was extremely greasy and had a ton of sauce which made me feel kind of gross on the plane. It also came with disposable dishes and utensils which downgraded the experience of such a cool atmosphere and seemed unnecessarily wasteful to me. Overall though, this is one of the better options in the terminal! read more

The Hampton Social - Smashburger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

American Situated in the busy O'Hare airport is the Hampton Social - a small restaurant sitting off one of the gates in Terminal 5 and invoking the name of the guide to the Hamptons, the Hampton Social is a decent spot to grab a bite before your flight. I had time to kill before my flight, so I grabbed a spot at the counter. I arrived somewhat hung over from a few days of trade show activities and really wanted an iced tea. The wonderful waitress behind the bar ran down to a kiosk somewhere and reappeared with a bottle of iced tea - perfect. I took a few minutes to look through the small menu of items. Even though it is small, is still comprehensive enough that you should be able to find something that satisfies. Since it is an airport food place, it serves breakfast as well as more traditional "daytime" foods and to be fair, the food was very good. I settled for a smashburger and some parmesan fries and settled in to do some emails while waiting. The place is bight and airy - feels like a summer afternoon while you are sitting there. Nice. Food arrived in short order and everything was perfectly cooked. Burger portion was larger than expected and I was pretty much done eating for the rest of the day after leaving. Servers are there just the right amount of time and just a very good experience from start to finish. Better than average and you should give it a shot if you have the time. Prices are airport high as expected. read more

My friends and I came here the day after the grand opening for my friend's birthday. I really enjoyed the Chicago riverside location, so I was really excited to come here. We had reservations and were immediately seated once we made it to the host stand. There was a pretty long line just to get to the host. Also, there is no restaurant parking. You either have to valet, find street parking or park in a nearby garage. We were immediately impressed by the ambiance and aesthetic. It definitely give Hampton, Coastal vibes. Our server, Ade was great! Super friendly, accommodating, personable and helpful. She helped us enjoy our first visit. We all ordered Hampton Frosés and enjoyed. The birthday girl also got the pink reverie, the cocktail with bubbles on top, but she didn't enjoy stating that it tasted like artificial sweeteners. I also got the i like it a yacht cocktail with rum in it and enjoyed it. We split the bang bang chicken and roasted Brussels sprouts for an appetizer, and we all enjoyed and would order again. The birthday girl ordered the creamy spicy vodka pasta. She said it was okay, but would probably just stick with the apps next time. My other friend ordered the honey glazed salmon and enjoyed it. I, on the other hand, did not enjoy my meal. I got the lobster roll, and it was very dry and bland. I had to request a side of melted garlic butter to jous it up. I had also requested fries instead of chips, but it was not disclosed to me that there was an up charge for my request. Because I was not impressed with my meal, and was overcharged for it, I have to take away a star. My recommendations are to visit during non peak hours, avoid the lobster roll and ask if there are up charges with your request. I'd be willing to come back for the apps, vibes and cocktails. read more

The Hampton Social - I like it a yacht - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Wow! Probably the best food I've ever eaten at an airport (I know it's a low bar) but I was really happy with the smash burger and Parmesan truffle fries. Truffle aioli was on point for dipping fries and added a great touch to the burger. The burger was cooked perfectly with a nice bun that held it all together. Patties were both juicy but not too juicy. The fries were hot and crispy w just the right amount of parm and truffle flavors. Cocktail was solid as well and $14 for a double seemed like a bargain at an airport. Great lunch before my flight. Staff was friendly and polite read more

The Hampton Social - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The worst Caesar salad I've ever had. Topped with fried chicken (menu just said chicken) and covered in greasy fried wontons (not shown on menu) with too much dressing. If you hate salad, this is so disguised and unhealthy you won't notice the greens. Order fries instead. Yuck! read more
