The Hampton Social makes it look easy like great nights just happen there naturally. The drinks are top-tier and dangerously sippable, the kind that sneak up on you in the best way. Service? Flawless. Big shoutout to John and Alice for being absolute pros and elevating the whole experience. And the music? Perfectly curated chaos (in the best sense) whoever's spinning knows exactly how to read the room. Pull up for a drink, stay for the energy, and don't be surprised if it becomes your new go-to. read more

Well... I'm off oysters now. Went for happy hour and got the oyster special. Don't do it. Canned. Shitty. Over flowing the shell. Not glued to the shell Tried to eat one and almost choked. The presentation of the entire things was horrifying idk how they could look at that and serve it. We sent them back and it was nice that they did take them off the bill but truly I can't even look at oysters anymore after what was served and presented to us here. I wish I would've taken a picture because it was the most disgusting presentation I have ever seen we couldn't even look at them without wanting to barf. Do not order oysters here. For REAL DONT they are clearly canned, these looked like oysters on steroids, I'm telling you these oysters looked like they had muscles. Truly disgusting. read more

The Hampton Social offers great food, drinks, and a friendly staff, so it's surprising they're only averaging 3 stars. The culprit? Their non-transparent, mandatory 18% service charge. This kind of policy can hurt a business more than its customers or employees ever could. True transparency would mean simply increasing menu prices by 18% and removing the deceptive surcharge. After all, the total bill would remain the same. That said, the service and ambiance are excellent! The space feels like an upscale beach house, Downtown Dallas style, and they definitely nailed that aesthetic. Overall, it's an enjoyable experience, but the mandatory service charge leaves a sour note. If they focused on clear, upfront pricing, this could easily be a 5-star spot. read more

Good food, but the world's slowest service. Came on a Monday afternoon and there were not alot of tables sat inside at all.. we ordered the truffle fries and margarita from the happy hour menu. We also got two dozen oysters which were sooooo good but super small. They were both veryyyyy good. I also ordered an espresso martini and it was so delicious. For my meal I got the hamburger with Mac and cheese which was good! The ambiance in side is nice. For dessert we got the banana cream pie and it was soooo good. Overall food was good but service was very slow. read more

Visited the Hampton Social for a friend's birthday during their weekend brunch hours and it was a lovely experience. For drinks, they have both alcoholic and non alcoholic options. I ordered the Mermaid mist (mocktail) which is a blue raspberry sprite drink which I found very refreshing. For food I ordered the dynamite shrimp, truffle fries, and the warmed lobster roll. The lobster roll was flavorful, buttery, and perfectly seasoned. The lobster had a great texture and blended well with the sauce, complimented by the delicious warm toasted bread. You also have the option of getting the roll chilled too if you prefer and both options serve about 1-2 people. The dynamite shrimp consists of shrimp, cooked tempura style; it is very tasty and has a good spice, sesame seed, scallion, and chili sauce blend. Lastly the truffle fries are so tasty and borderline addictive, pairing very well with any of the appetizers or main dishes. Their meals are great for sharing amongst the table as well, especially the appetizers which have a diverse selection to choose from. I would definitely go back, as not only is the food good quality, the service was impeccable. Perfect for simple or special occasions. read more

My husband brought the family for Mother's Day and we had a great experience. Our server, Jocelyn, was great. We appreciated the recommendations she provided and she made sure to check on us regularly despite the restaurant being pretty busy. We enjoyed the buffet a lot. Our girls are really particular, but they had plenty of options. Would highly recommend this restaurant and Joselyn to be well taken care of. read more

Went here for Brunch and it was my first time! What a cute place, definitely will be back. It's much bigger than it looks, with multiple levels and a rooftop. We were sat on the rooftop. Service was great despite it being a busy day, and the aesthetics were nice, the staircase, the rose all day wall, the interior and the patio area. It transforms you into its own city, doesn't seem like you're in Dallas anymore. I ordered the Seersucker Squeeze drink and my friend got the Resort Water. They were both okay, didn't really feel like they were very strong for the $17 price. So that was disappointing. For entrees, I got the garden scramble which was delicious, and a good portion size. My friends got the Manhattan lobster roll which she enjoyed, and the other friend got the dynamite shrimp and truffle fries! We all enjoyed our food. read more

Came here with my brother and loved the vibe immediately. Super cute spot with great decor and lots of fun happy hour promos going on. He ordered the truffle fries, I went with the oysters, and everything hit. Highlight of the night was finding a pearl in one of my oysters, such a fun surprise and made the experience feel extra special. The service was also great. You could tell the servers actually support each other, which always shows in how smooth and kind the service feels. Exciting, welcoming, and definitely a place I'd come back to for happy hour or a casual night out. read more

AUTOMATICALLY CHARGING 18% TIP for TWO PEOPLE WHEN THE SERVICE WAS SLOW AND BELOW PAR SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! Service was very poor and slow. Took 2 hours to get our food this Sunday for brunch. My partner got their food and I had to wait another 20 minutes to get mine. By this time our street parking time was up and we had to extend our time to eat the cold, soggy, and cardboard food that was brought to us. A little later another waitress brought out the same food we ordered which appeared warmers and more fresh and she took it back to the kitchen when we said we already got our food. There was a lot of confusion where so many tables's food was swapped around and multiple times where multiples waiters brought random food to our table. BUT charging me automatically a high tip for low quality service is awful and disheartening for a highly reputed place like this! Patio gets super full on the weekends! French toast came out cold and tasted like card board.Lobster roll is the only decent item on the menu here and the drinks were good! read more

The Hampton Social - Sunrise beach bowl - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It was okay' beautiful place and there are some good food items on the menu but the consistency was lacking a bit especially when several people here ordered the same thing and it came out quite different. We had a good sized group and spent well over a thousand dollars for our 2 hr dinner. The waitress wasn't as attentive and lacked a bit of urgency resulting in many items Being cold or cold when she Finally came with the requested item.. whether a fork or sauce etc..also she may have been new bc she didn't know the menu very well. All and all the ambiance is beautiful. I'd like to come back for the Brussels sprouts, calamari and smashed burger. Hopefully it will come out hot this time. read more

I've been to a couple of Hampton Social locations in the past, so I was excited to try the new Dallas location. It was easy to make a reservation, and was able to book a dinner reservation for a Friday night. This location is located downtown, so parking was tricky. The hostess informed me that they plan to get valet parking soon. The location itself was very pretty, with 3 floors of seating. My friends and I were sat on the second floor. I will say it was hard to hear each other, and voices bounced off the wall from nearby tables, so keep that in mind. As for the food, we shared an appetizer and I had the caesar salad with tots on the side. The salad was just ok as well as the tots. It was a consensus at the table that we would return for drinks, but would skip eating a meal here. read more

The Hampton Social - HAMPTON CAESAR SALAD - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Host was super friendly and we got sat right away, didn't have a reservation on a Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Hunter out server was super knowledgeable on the history of the restaurant & the menu, he was amazing. This is definitely a great spot for girls night or any celebration dinners. Now for the food The calamari- seasoned well and super crispy. Can definitely tell it's fresh. Brussel spouts- the flavor was amazing, the goat cheese on the bottom was to die for with the flavor of the spouts and almonds. Vodka pasta- quite spicy but still really good. Pizza- taste like the best cheesy garlic bread you'd ever imagine. Truffle fries- these were SO good because the truffle was all throughout not just on top. Water- we might've been dumb young girls but the still water $9/ bottle. Should've gotten tap! read more

This spot is a whole vibe! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm, modern, and inviting--perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. The drinks were well-crafted and refreshing. I highly recommend trying the Resort Water or the Seersucker Squeeze--both were flavorful and balanced without being overpowering. Now, let's talk food. I ordered the salmon and the lobster roll, and both were absolutely delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly--moist, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The lobster roll was fresh and buttery, with just the right amount of seasoning. Great vibe, great food, great drinks. I'll definitely be coming back--and bringing friends with me next time! read more

We hosted an engagement party at Hampton Social on Saturday and the venue, food and service were incredible!! I was blown away by the attention to detail by every one of the staff members but especially by Sam! He was friendly, caring and knowledgeable. All of our guests mentioned him and how he made the event even more special. I highly recommend the Hampton Social for your weekend brunch or next event! read more

Music was so loud, I could not hear anyone t the table and we were sitting right next to each other. Food was overpriced but the service was excellent. Taste wise, I probably could have made something better at home, sorry. You're essentially paying for the aesthetic not the food. Would I go back? Probably not. Be aware, there is an 18% gratuity added to all bile, regardless of your party size....HOWEVER, if you use my referral link for the "Inkind" food app (white text, yellow box logo) you can save 20% off your ENTIRE bill plus you'll get $25 off any meal over $50. See my QR code below and save money while you're at it :)) Side note: The signage inside caused all my photos to have a red tint to them so I had to edit that tint out read more

We came to Hampton Social on a Saturday for a birthday brunch, and this spot absolutely crushed it. If you remember the old Iron Cactus that used to be here, the bones of the building are still familiar--but Hampton Social has completely transformed the vibe. It feels fresh, bright, airy, and brand new on the inside. Think: coastal getaway energy dropped right into the city. Service: Our server, Nikki, was incredible. Warm, social, funny, and perfectly attentive--she made everything feel easy and celebratory. The whole staff honestly went above and beyond to make the birthday girl feel special. They surprised us with ice cream for her and even brought out birthday shots for the whole table, their fun twist on a "Wicked"-inspired cocktail. Totally unexpected and the perfect little cap to the afternoon. Drinks: The drink menu is stacked. * The sangria hit that sweet-but-not-too-sweet sweet spot. * Friends who got the espresso martini said it was on the sweeter side--great if you like yours leaning dessert-y. * The tequila + cucumber resort cocktail was ultra refreshing and an easy favorite. And honestly, so many of their cocktails looked like you'd need to be stopped from ordering three at a time. Food: Brunch was delicious all around. * The lobster grilled cheese with lobster bisque was rich, indulgent, and absolutely worth it if you're hungry. * The shrimp tacos were flavorful and fresh (three tacos + your choice of side). * The ahi tuna salad--with shrimp added--was beautifully balanced and super tasty. * The chicken & waffles leaned sweet, which is perfect if that's your style. Everything was prepared well, plated nicely, and came out quickly. Overall, Hampton Social was the perfect host for a birthday brunch--great food, killer drinks, gorgeous space, and genuinely thoughtful service. read more

The Hampton Social in Dallas is officially my new go-to! I grabbed a seat on the 3rd floor rooftop and the vibe was perfect--great views, great energy. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, the Carne Amore pizza (staff recommendation and a solid one), and the lobster roll. Everything was flavorful and fresh. I usually visit The Hampton Social in Orlando every year, but this Dallas location is much larger and somehow even better. Love seeing one of my favorite spots thriving in a new city! read more

This will be short and sweet. This was a disappointment. We had a party of 6. The ambiance and our waiter were the best things about HS. Cold food, wrong items, and the manager(?) changing an order, because he "wanted to do something special", without consulting the diner. Why would you assume we wanted something other than what we ordered, without asking?! Also informed that item would be comped. It wasn't and had to be corrected. I can't speak for the others, but I won't be back. read more

Only reason I held half a star is the fact that we could only sit at the bar while many other tables were open. read more

I really wanted to fall in love with this place! Wait, let me stop. I'm playing myself. I knew exactly what this was going to be. Typical instagrammable restaurant. Gorgeous views! Upscale, beachy vibes! But the fare? Meh. This is one beautiful restaurant! Wow. These folks spent some major coins! The food and service fell a little short. Super small portions for the price! The fish sandwich is like 3 levels up from McDonald's. Delicious! The monkey bread was monkey bread. The tuna tartare was pretty damn yummy...just wish there was more of it. Every drink we tried was delectable....nothing really to write home about...pretty to look at, though! Service was a little slow but I get it. Gotta work out the kinks! Anywho, Did I mention that this restaurant is stunning? read more

Came to dinner with my BF for my boyfriend. We were sat on the roof by the fire. I liked the view and table! Our drinks came pretty quick. I liked his better than mine. A lot of ice and tasted like juice. The food looked great but for the time we waited mine still managed to come out just barely warm. I was pretty hungry so I did not send it back. The flavors were good but it would have been much better hot. read more

Food was eh (cold, low quality), the ambiance was fine (not great) and the service was nice (but so slow). I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but prices were about 20% too high, so I just can't. Very mediocre - go uptown. read more

The Hampton Social - Fruit side - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Hampton Social is a vibrant restaurant filled with coastal themed decor and cute neon signs throughout the dining areas. When we entered there were a few people ahead of us. We scheduled a reservation for 1:30 but for some reason the hostess was double checking to see if they could accept online reservations.. a bit odd. After speaking with other servers, she stated it would be a 10 minute wait. Unfortunately, the wait was much longer than 10 minutes and there were actually quite a few open tables. I could sense something was array as the manager was handling a lot of things and seemed a bit frantic. When we were seated, our server was ready to quickly assist us and was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the honey glazed salmon which accompanies power greens and heirloom carrots. My fiancé ordered the skirt steak frites with the heirloom carrots. The food was flavorful and cooked perfectly. There was a bit of confusion on the Mac and cheese as it stated it comes as a side when I received mine it was an entire pasta dish which I stated I did not want. I decided not to bring it up and just took the rest ToGo. Overall, it was a fairly good experience but it is a new establishment so they are probably still trying to find their groove. I will be back in a few months to see what changes are made. read more

Sat on the rooftop for our reservation. Service delivery could have been better. I think she kinda forgot about us. Oysters were good they sat them in ice instead of rock salt and it melted very quickly water was everywhere. As I said our server kinda forgot about us so luckily another one saw the water pooling on the table. The crab bruschetta was okay. Needed more flavor. But the ambiance was great. Espresso Martini was good i appreciated the anchor read more

I've been to The Hampton Social several times in different states, and I have to say I'm in love with the new downtown Dallas location! The downstairs space is open and airy, creating a cool beach dinner vibe. We were seated at a half booth inside the restaurant, and to the left was a gorgeous patio, perfect for a cool spring evening. For entrees, my family and I ordered the creamy spicy vodka pasta, shrimp tacos, and fish and chips. I added blackened salmon to my pasta, which was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. My family enjoyed their meals as well. The shrimp tacos were flavorful, and the fish and chips were served hot with a nice crispy batter. The only downside was finding out at the end of the meal that adding blackened salmon to my pasta cost an extra $17. I would've appreciated if the server had let me know about the additional charge upfront. At that price, I would've just ordered the salmon entrée instead. While the visit had its highlights, a little more transparency around pricing would've made the experience better. read more

The Place is so cute and spacious. They have 2 floor, people are not on top of each other. We went to Brunch. Beautiful ambiance, very friendly staff and live music. We went with a party of 8 for brunch. We tried the appetizer of spinach dip, shrimp bruschetta, Brussels spouts. Everything was delicious. The French toast was amazing with their syrup!!!! For Brunch we had a few Gatsby breakfast plate, clam chowder, truffle fries, chicken sandwich, breakfast sandwiches with fruit. Sorry I didn't get picks of everything because they started eating. Now I had a lil issue with my plate. The food was not hot but lukewarm. So I went to the manager and told him and he returned with a fresh hot plate. I only needed my eggs and tater tater tots replaced but they came back and gave me a whole brand new plate..I loaded the pic below. This was a great experience. I will be back read more

I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, my one and only visit left a lot to be desired. I was so disappointed I debated on whether to finish this review. I visited back in March a few weeks after they opened. I went during afternoon but after what would have been the lunch-hour rush. Upon entering the door, I was a bit turned off as the first thing I see is a sign stating there is an 18% service charge applied to all bills to "ensure fair wages and benefits for all team members all year long". To be fair, it did state that 100% of this fee goes to the service staff. While I appreciate them being upfront and making sure people know about this, I always struggle with fees like this as where I come from, gratuity is given voluntarily and should not be an obligation. That said, since I had walked over, I decided to move forward with trying the place. The ambiance inside is great!! It's easy to see that a major investment went into the interior. Add to that, they have a patio which I walked around and checked out be decided to dine inside. The patio is really nice with the only downside being it's right next to Pegasus Plaza which, at times, can be a lovely park in the heart of downtown. On the other hand, there are times when the park is filled with the people experiencing homelessness who at times are known to bathe in the fountain. They also have a rooftop patio which I did not get to check out. Once seated inside, I ended up waiting ~15 minutes before anyone acknowledge me and then waited another ~10 minutes for water. Needless to say, things were not off to a great start. After another ~10 minutes, the server came back and took my order. I went with the Shelter Island Chicken Sandwich which is crispy fried, contains slaw, apple, Swiss cheese, pickles, spicy aioli and is accompanied with housemade chips. The server mentioned that I could get tater tots or fries in place of the chips if I wanted which so I chose fries. Of course, what the server failed to mention is there was an up-charge for the tots which I discovered up receiving my bill. It ended up taking another ~25 minutes for my sandwich to come out which would have been understandable had the place been busy. By the time my sandwich arrived, I was super hungry and looked forward to the first bite. Considering everything that was on the sandwich, I expected to experience an explosion of flavors and unfortunately, that did not happen. I tried a second bite hoping it would improve but I quickly realized a bland tasting sandwich was the best it was going to be. That's when I told myself that if I was going to have fried chicken, I should have just gone to Popeye's, as it would have been more fulfilling than what I was having. Reluctantly, I finished my meal and kept an eye out for the server so I could get my bill. It was dropped off and the server disappeared again. It was taking so long for the server to return that I started to QR code to pay but then I realized there would more service fees and charges. Also, I saw in another review stating that when paying via the QR code there is an additional mandatory gratuity of 3%, 5% or 7%. Considering my experience, I had zero desire to encounter that so I waited another ~10 minutes before the server reappeared. For me, this another of the many Instagrammable restaurants, upscale ambiance while lacking when it comes to food and service. That said, maybe I just caught them on an off-day but considering all the added fees, etc. I'm not sure I will return. While I did not have a cocktail, this could be a good spot for happy hour or post dinner drinks (after dining somewhere else). read more

Food is good but slowest service. They add an 18% automatic tip, then ask for additional tip. There's a $4 charge just to use the machine. It was $60 w fees, taxes and tip on a $200 bill. Don't recommend coming here unless you want to be hit with exorbitant tips and fees. read more

I tried Hampton social in Miami and was so excited to see a Dallas location. Perfect for brunch, I had the Caesar salad and truffle fries, we also got a few appetizers to share and the Brussels sprouts were to die for.

Took some frose shots which were fun and well presented, as were all the drinks from the bar! read more

The Hampton Social - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This was my second visit to Hampton Social and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite brunch spots for friends or family. The coastal-inspired décor is bright, charming, and very Instagram-worthy, and the live music added such a fun vibe to the experience. The food truly impressed me. The Manhattan-style lobster roll with warm butter was outstanding, fresh, and flavorful. It is easily one of the best I have had in Dallas. The crab and shrimp bruschetta was just as delicious, and the espresso martini was perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend it. I also tried their mermaid mist mocktail which was pretty good too. The monkey bread and truffle mushroom pizza were good, though not particularly memorable, but I would happily return for the other items. Service was friendly overall, although our server did try to clear plates a little too early while we were still eating and there was food left on our plates. It was not a dealbreaker, but enough to knock off a star as she did it twice so we felt a little rushed. Overall, Hampton Social delivers on food, drinks, and atmosphere. I will definitely be back. read more

Came here for happy hour with a friend. They have 1/2 off menu with quite few drinks included, wine, beer and 3 cocktails all good. The place has only been open a few months but i can see it being a main space on weekends or post work. It has 3 floors (soon to be 4 in the future) where one floor is the rooftop. They only have the rooftop open on weekends unfortunately but the first floor has a large outdoor patio where a portion of the bar is outside as well. They also have live music during happy hour, bare minimum on Wednesdays. The service was good and i didn't have to wait long for a drink thanks to Zachary behind the bar. read more

Not sure why a low rating but my experience was good. Went for happy hour. I tried the signature rosé which was pretty good. Also the coastal sunrise cocktail - I had it made with no habanero cause I don't like spicy. Enjoyed the pizza and spinach dip. Everything tasted good. I only wish they would not limit the HH options to just the bar. Sitting on the tall bar stools isn't the most comfortable for me. Bartender was nice and friendly. read more
