Service was friendly and good and drinks were delicious as always! My husband asks for no salt on his food and the waitress and chef worked together to give him some options for modifications for his dinner. Excellent experience!

Everything was outstanding, except for our waiter. He was not attentive to our table, impersonal and had no idea of who ordered what. The restaurant was either short staffed or our waiter just didn’t do a very good job.

I’m a regular at the Hampton Social and it just gets better each and every time. While I am new to the Burr Ridge Location, it has been nothing but exceptional. Alyssa is such an amazing server, she is very attentive and kind. Zach was the bar tender and he made our drinks to perfection each time. The general manager Brian, was just as amazing as the rest of the staff. He did his table touches and made sure our experience was nothing but top tier. 12/10 definitely will come again.
