The Hampton Social - Delray Beach

We stumble across this wonderful restaurant while walking E Atlantic! Sat outside an had Luke as our server! He was so pleasant and nice!!

First time here for brunch. We were a party of 9, and our server was a pro. Really enjoyed the seas shell option, as well as the mimosa kits! We order a few appetizers, including the calamari, bang bang chicken, spinach dip, monkey bread and parmesan truffle French fries. Every single one of us enjoyed the apps, but especially the monkey bread. The New England Clam chowder unfortunately had maybe two pieces of class, it should of been named a corn chowder. It was delicious, but not a clam chowder. Smash burger was seasoned to perfection, but not cooked medium as we ordered. But honestly if that was the worse of it, we did great. Such a great vibe, decor and service.

Nikki and River awesome bar duo.. amazing service. Will be back!! Lobster roll was a 10/10… and the vodka lemonade

✨️ ABOVE & BEYOND ✨️ Our dining experience at Hampton Social was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, the manager and staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made the evening memorable. The food was fantastic, with a wide selection that made it hard to choose. The Brussels sprouts were an absolute standout—delicious and perfectly cooked. They were to die for! The Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl was another highlight, as well as the bang bang chicken all left us wanting more.

Me and my parents had a wonderful experience here, delicious food, great service, cozy atmosphere

Very nice atmosphere, can get loud towards the end of evening. But most importantly food was delicious! We got four cheese pizza and the dough was interesting in good way, octopus appetizer had a delicious sauce ( it said grilled, but tasted more boiled to us), one of our guest got pasta pesto and said was good. But we loved our short rib dish, it was good and worth it to try. Caesar salad had a nice a creamy dressing. Coming back again before we leave Delray Beach. Didn’t have time to get pictures of food, we were hungry and it was gone fast :) And we came back again! Service was even better now, our waitress ( we were sitting outside) was super attentive and nice! This time we got salmon and smashed burger and it was nice, but we liked short rib more. Definitely recommend to eat there!

This place is amazing! My husband and I enjoyed our drinks and food especially the braised short rib and delicious desserts. We had Jordan as our server, and she couldn’t be more attentive and friendly and answered any questions we had! We Would definitely come back !

Waitress was so nice! Food was amazing and the restaurant is beautiful!

It’s so refreshing to see a restaurant like this in South Florida! absolutely stunning inside and great for pictures. Aside from the aesthetic, the food is incredible. First time in a long time where my eyes opened wide at the tastes! Recommendation: crab cake benedict. It will change your brunch life. Every bite had so much flavor. Their drinks are amazing too :) Our waitress was super kind and made the experience lovely.

Was all around good experience! Food was good. They had food options for happy hour as well. Wish the valet would be validated since they're the only restaurant not to do that in the square.

GREAT experience! Great food and SERVICE! Annique was magnifique!

My wife and I stopped by for Happy Hour. We had the Waygu Smashburger Taco, the Guacamole, and a beer. The taco was EXCELLENT, but you only get one. The guac and chips were also tasty. Our waiter was friendly and we chatted about the Olympics on the bar tv.. This is a stylish, adult-oriented place.

This was our first time visiting. Everything was prompt: seating, ordering, receiving food and payment. The menu is straightforward and appealing. Two adults and two teens 100% finished their meals. My wife was quite satisfied with her Norwegian salmon. For first time visit, our waitress, Meghan, and cooking staff hit it outta the park. We'll definitely be returning.

Chloe was our server and she was so good! We had appetizers dinner and dessert and everything was incredible. Well the parm fries are a flop. But everything else was so good. I can't wait to go back!

Alec was so great and made the day even better than it was! Food was great and so were the drinks. First time for brunch and will definitely be back. Music and ambience, plus great service and food, 10/10, chefs kiss!

I previously had dinner here and I was not impressed, our dishes came out with multiple mistakes, no one seemed to know what was going on. We gave it another shot while my daughter was in town and immediately our experience was turned around my husband and I right away agreed we were off to a better start, our server jazz was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, she wasn’t robotic at all most servers seem to be reading off a script, not her. We went with almost every recommendation she made and we were happy with every item (crab and avocado tartare is a must try) my daughter wasn’t sure what cocktail to get and even on a very busy Saturday jazz took her time to really ask questions and get to know her taste, recommending the strawberry mojito my daughter loved it! They do already add a gratuity which was never mentioned last time but jazz explained it so well and made it clear what we were paying. 18% isn’t enough for the service we received Thank you Hampton and thank you jazz!!!

First time here and the food was delicious. We had wings and shrimp and other apps that were very tasty and plentiful. The French dip as well was extremely pleasant to my palate The place is very big and best to eat outside As well the service was excellent and they add the gratuity to your bill

We’ve been here a few times for numerous reasons/visits. Their HH menu is small but food is delicious and drinks that are on it are good. The bar is beautiful so fun to sit at. Dinner food is also very good. Venue is huge so comfortable seating options wherever you go. We had our baby shower which had amazing food, drinks and service.. the guests were all thrilled! Corey the manager is incredible. The server Laura is also amazing. I forget the names of the event servers but they were incredible also. Overall, great spot!

I went yesterday with some friends and we had such a nice time 🤍 The atmosphere is beautiful, very coastal and perfect for a girls’ brunch. Our server was very friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. We ordered a sandwich from the brunch menu and it was really good. The portions aren’t huge, but they are definitely enough. You leave satisfied without feeling too full, which I liked. The only downside is parking. There isn’t much parking nearby, and the spots that are close tend to be full. It’s not the restaurant’s fault, but it’s worth mentioning so you can plan ahead. Overall, I would definitely go back. Great brunch, great service, and a lovely place to spend time with friends

This place exudes a vibrant and trendy vibe with a spectacular bar and great service. We ordered the Tuna Tartare which came with giant chips and the calamari which was disappointing- not enough calamari and excessive amount of fillers. We decided to top it off with the Margherita Pizza which initially came out on the lukewarm warm side and after sending it back. the manager apologized and let us know they were going to make us a new one. Bravo to the staff.

Ugh, where to start when most of the menu is so good? The Menu: to the point, all courses on one page, double-columned, you don’t need a slew of choices to feel delicious diversity. The Aesthetics: crisp coastal feel with a splash of apartment therapy. Having been here several times, I’ve had 8 dishes which is enough for me to know their flavor profile is on-point. All isn’t perfect however, like their oysters weren’t very meaty, I can’t say I’m a fan of their chips… and their lobster roll - though delicious - is a bit overhyped. But… their roasted chicken? Unbelievably tender, insanely flavored. I’ve had their Bang Bang chicken twice, amazing but for some reason I believe it was better the first time; the second time was fried a little longer so it wasn't as juicy. Everything else I’ve had was just truly delicious. Their service? Ehhh, decent-ish, feel they might be understaffed due to the many open seats but still having to wait an hour or so for dinner reservations each time we went. Luckily we live next door, but I can imagine they might lose potential customers because of the wait time. Once we had a server who disappeared for long times and left a chicken bone on the table when she took away the plates (pic attached). Then we’ve had pretty good servers. Aside from that, I plan on eating my way through their entire menu.

I visited The Hampton Social for a special Mother’s Day brunch and overall had a great experience, highlighted by a beautiful atmosphere and some standout dishes. Lobster Roll: I tried the lobster roll, which comes in both Manhattan (warm) and Maine (cold) styles. I went with the main and side salad. The lobster was fresh and flavorful. The bun had a nice buttery toast, Truffle Fries: The truffle fries were a hit. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and topped with just the right amount of Parmesan. It's a great starter or a side dish to share, and it's definitely worth ordering again. Steak and Eggs: The skirt steak was cooked perfectly—charred on the outside, and tender inside. Wild Berry French Toast: The Wild Berry French Toast was indulgent without being overly heavy. The berries added a fresh pop of flavor, and the presentation was on point. The Hampton Social delivers a stylish coastal vibe that’s perfect for a brunch outing. Service, setting, and food quality made it worthwhile. I’d return for the truffle fries and steak and eggs without hesitation. Our server, Ariel, was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and really helped make the experience feel special. Great service always makes a difference, and she absolutely delivered.

Great atmosphere Service was adequate Food was delicious and well balanced with flavors. Good for large groups

Nice restaurant with a good atmosphere located close to Atlantic Ave. Crowded on weekends. A reservation might save you a 30-45min wait. The food was tasty but in small quantities and on the expensive side. The service was good.

Great spot, amazing energy and cool drinks - Especially for brunch! Jill, the manager was very accomodating, informative and welcoming. What to order: The lobster rolls were great (both hot and cold options) Mimosa station is $40 and comes with a whole bottle of champagne and 3 juice options. French toast 10/10 Ahi Tuna bowl if you're looking for something filling, light and healthy.

Food: The smash burger was phenomenal! The aioli and double patties made it so juicy. (For vegetarians, a beyond meat option is available.) The bang bang chicken appetizer was also very tasty, and I'm still drooling over chili sauce it came with, a must try. The lobster roll Manhattan style was a 5/5! The cocktails were cute and they had a lot of rosé options. Uncle Artie wasn't a fan of the French martini glasses they had, due to it changing the flavor of the cocktail vs a regular martini glass. There is outdoor/indoor seating with a full bar. Plenty of options from whiskey to tequila. The atmosphere is great. Lots of upscale, nautical details into the place. I gave the service a 3/5 due to the waitress not being too friendly. She seemed like she didn't care to converse and just wanted to take our order and leave. She wasn't rude. Just not friendly. The empty plates also stayed on our table for a while, which is a pet-peeve of mine. They would come by and remove 1 empty glass and leave the empty dishes, which I found odd. Other than that, it was a great experience, and I am interested in coming back for their brunch.

A beautiful relaxed atmosphere just a few steps off the Avenue, Hampton social is a great place for brunch or dinner. I’ve been here a few times for dinner, brunch and happy hour. But I’ve started to become really frustrated with all the additional fees. We went for brunch. The service was good. The food was fabulous, but then there are all these fees they tack on. Perhaps they’re on the menu and very small type but when you’re trying to enjoy the company you’re with - you don’t want to have to rely on that. So of course there’s the parking fee, then they have a service fee, which they don’t disclose the percentage, they asked for a tip and they give you three options with no way to wave it, then there’s the online order fee versus had I known that I would’ve paid the guy directly. Oh and by the way, they don’t offer anything complementary if you were celebrating a special occasion. They recommend a dessert and it shows up on your bill. Which is fine too. I was just a little surprised. So regardless, I do recommend the restaurant but be prepared for all these additional fees before you go. Feel free to read on about the positives of this restaurant below. I especially recommend the crispy quesadilla with goat cheese and arugula. The oysters come fresh daily from both the east and west coast, and they were incredibly fresh. Some of the best we ever had.

The food greatly out shines the service. Three of us came because of the google reviews. The smash burger is awesome, the clam chowder is great, the AHI tuna is fresh and well presented. Seated on the patio we where one of two tables served, a slow off season Thursday evening at 5:00. The waitress (Jona) served us and never came back to check on us once. My guest wanted tomatoes and lettuce on His burger and I wanted an onion. With the total absence of the waitress I went inside and asked the hostess behind the podium. Those three things took twenty minutes plus to finally be served .

Went in for dinner. Great vegetarian options. Absolutely loved the Coconut tofu salad with mango salsa, made my day !!! The avocado pizza is bland. My friend loved her Shrimp tacos. Great portion size, overall loved the experience.

After a 30+ minute wait for a table, and seeing a ton of empty tables, I was seated. I had come for National Oyster Day. Ordered a dozen Oysters. While they came out quickly and were presented very nicely on a large ice covered tray, some were so small, it took 2-3 to get one bit. I know they were only $1, but how were you not embarrassed to serve those. Then when the bill came, I saw the normal price was $50. Had I ordered those for $50 and that is what you brought out, I would have sent them back. I also ordered a bowl of clam chowder, and it looked very good. However when I went to eat it, it was brought out without a spoon. Pretty hard to eat a bowl of chowder without a spoon. By the time my waitress came around and I asked for a spoon and she brought one back to me, the chowder was no longer hot. It was lukewarm. I still ate it, and while it did have a lot of meat in it and tasted good, I didn't even finish it. Zero for two on food items here, I couldn't risk trying anything else. After leaving, I literally stopped at a fast food restaurant on the way home to get something to eat. Not a very good first time customer experience.

We came here to have a great eve with my bro and his wife. Had two delicious white wine bottles and spend over 450 for 4. The waitress was kind and looking for us but not educated. We travel a lot Europe and see the differences. Tables are not cleaned when still people are eating, dishes are not served in a row by different people when we want to eat together… and pasta is cooked al dente not overcooked, and opening a bottle of wine should be easily done by the servant. In total: okay, but we will not coming back.

Go for the atmosphere, not for the food. This place was such a letdown, and I’m only rounding up because this was more like a 2.5-star experience. It’s giving fake-fancy, exorbitant prices, mediocre service, and subpar food. The vibe is excellent. They’ve done a good job curating the place so it feels more posh than it actually is. It’s definitely an Instagrammable spot! The food, however, was such a letdown. My chicken sandwich was the worst (and most expensive) I’ve had: soggy beyond belief and bland. My friend couldn’t finish her tacos because of how bad they were. There were a few wins: the pasta, pretzels, and drinks. The service was horrible — it took us 30 mins to get a paper check after I requested it, and another 20 minutes to get a side of mayo. All in all, I wouldn’t go back.

It was a very lively atmosphere.And that food was very good.However the service was terrible. Automatic eighteen percent gratuity added.So I guess the service didn't have to be good.

Overpriced and a little overrated. Food was decent but for $37 I would like to get something along with my lobster roll other than potato chips. The bartender described it incorrectly. Basically it’s just lobster meat with some chopped parsley on a large buttered roll. He said it was on a bed mixed greens. But it was good lobster. They have a very nice wine list, especially rosé wine. The bartender was very sweet and allowed me to try Some of the rosé. I had to look for service instead of being at a bar where they scan the bar constantly and are on top of service. I guess I expect excellence when I pay high. They neglected to tell me is that the Tip of 18% is already included. I almost double tipped! Not good

I came here on a Saturday night in early May with seven other family members. I was torn between a 3 or 4 on this review. The food was very good and the service was good; however, the restaurant was VERY crowded and loud. There were a lot of parties that seemed to be occurring that contributed to the loud noise. These parties also made the drink service very slow. When we spoke to the manager about this, she said “what do you want me to do about it?” In a non sarcastic manner. They ended up comping a lot of our drinks. I would go back and I would recommend, but only if the place isn’t as crowded. I also would not recommend going with a large group of people if you expect to have conversation with everyone at the table since you won’t be able to hear the conversation.

Service was great - restaurant manager, hostesses, and waitress were awesome and very welcoming. Restaurant is pretty and has a nice vibe. Food and drinks were super mediocre leaning toward bad. A $54 steak entree should be amazing and it really just wasn’t. Skinny margarita listed at the top of their drink menu should have been perfect but wasn’t well done either. Won’t go back unfortunately.

1st visit to Hampton Social. Welcoming exterior and we'll themed interior. Host station had 3 individuals who all seemed somewhat lost in the process. Took a while to get seated while being squeezed between occupied tables and large portion of section being empty the entire time. Food was average, with most apps and starters overpriced for a small portion. Kids meals seemed a good value and well presented. May worth a 2nd try to see if experience is different with tapered expectations.

I recently moved to Delray Beach and had bookmarked this restaurant for a while because of the great reviews and beautiful location. I finally visited today, and honestly, I suspect many of those 5-star reviews might be paid — a lot of them don’t mention what exactly was so amazing. A service charge was already included in our bill, plus an additional suggested tip of 3%, 5%, or 7%, which might explain why the servers seemed pretty indifferent. I was served a cocktail that wasn’t quite what I ordered — I asked for it to be spicy, and it wasn’t. The lobster roll was especially disappointing. It was bland and definitely overpriced for the quality. This was only my second time trying a lobster roll, and my first experience (at another place) was outstanding, so I had high hopes — unfortunately, this didn’t come close. That said, the atmosphere and cleanliness were excellent, and the hostess kindly asked if the music was too loud, which I appreciated. But overall, the food and service didn’t meet expectations. Maybe I’ll give it another try in the future and update this review, but for now, this was my experience.

We met friends and sat outdoors because they said it was very noisy inside the last time they ate here. The server was friendly and gave us a bottle of water, which we soon discovered had a bug in it. Then we ordered two glasses of sparkling rose. We’re received regular flat rose wine, and sent it back for the sparkling. Now for the food. My shrimp tacos were delicious and my husband enjoyed his salmon. No complaints about the chicken dish. However, my friend ordered the tuna tartare and the raw tuna was warm, not chilled, and had an off taste. When she told the server, his response was “it’s fine”. She sent it back and got the salmon poke bowl, which she said was terrific. Please note that it’s very noisy outside too. We had a table with inebriated people next to us that were yelling at each other instead of talking. And there seems to be a disorganization with the staff because we had at least the servers that tried to give us another table’s food. This is more a place for tourists and the drinking crowd than for a nice relaxing dinner.

I rarely leave negative reviews, especially because I work in a customer service industry and have waited tables myself. I understand how quickly things can go sideways when staffing is thin. That said, my lunch experience on New Years Eve at Hampton Social in Delray Beach was deeply disappointing and avoidable. I was dining alone and seated at the bar. The bartender was the only one behind the bar and was responsible for making drinks for the entire restaurant and serving a fairly full bar. It was immediately clear he was overwhelmed. Because I was on a tight schedule, I let him know when he finally greeted me and tried to order right away to be efficient. That seemed to fluster him further. I even offered to pay immediately and left my card on the bar so he wouldn’t need to return, trying to be as accommodating as possible. My seat was never prepped for dining—no napkin, no utensils. When my food came out, it was placed in front of the couple next to me, and the server walked away without confirming whose order it was. I watched as they began picking through my salad before realizing it wasn’t theirs. I had to ask them if they had my order. I got the bartender’s attention to explain what happened. I told him I’d still take the food since I was in a hurry. He dropped it in front of me and walked away. I then had to call out for silverware—still none had been provided. He tossed a silverware roll next to me, said “Happy New Year,” and walked off with clear frustration and attitude. It was uncomfortable enough that the gentleman next to me commented, “Now he’s just being a dick.” I did speak with the manager, who was apologetic and agreed the bartender was in the weeds and should have had support. I made it clear I blame poor staffing and planning—not the workload itself—but that frustration being taken out on guests is unacceptable. He told me not to worry about the bill, took my ticket, but the charge still ended up on my credit card. I have a lot of empathy and grace for service workers. But this experience crossed from understaffed into poorly managed, and from stressed into openly disrespectful. Hampton Social has the reputation, price point, and volume that require proper staffing and leadership—especially during busy times. I hope this is taken as constructive feedback. With better planning and support for staff, this could have been handled very differently.
