Hampton's On Sutter

Last week we had a company event here and they shut the place down for us. The service was 5-Star and the food 4-Star. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always present and on-the-lookout to accommodate. You never had to seek someone out to take an empty plate or refill a drink, they were all very proactive. The food was good. Simple items like sliders, Caesar salad, and chicken on a skewer. One standout item was the deep fried Mac & cheese balls. Those were very tasty, especially when dipped on their spicy ketchup. I'll have to give Hampton's a try on my own, but as far as serving a large group, they "rocked".

Place sucks for groups and service is terrible

The menu at Hampton's on Sutter initially looks like typical bar food - burgers, sandwiches, fries, a few salads...  But take a closer look, and you'll know this spacious, 2-level establishment has a pretty creative chef.  Situated towards the quiet end of Sutter in old Folsom, this is a very pleasant place with interesting food choices...that work!

My salmon-eggs benedict was absolutely wonderful, as was my daughter's classic burger (the meat may have been yummy bison meat??), and my wife's goat cheese sandwich.  Everything came out hot and fresh.  When we visited (just after noon on Sunday), Hampton's also featured a talented singer-guitarist performing on the patio, and despite the 100 degree heat, she sang and played with energy and enjoyed herself almost as much as we loved listening to her.  The owners are well on their way to turning Hampton's into a true hot spot in a town that really needs some comfort food, drinks, and gathering place.

Service was also befitting a local spot - casual, informal, personable, but attentive.  No stuffed shirts here, just friends having fun enjoying themselves!  Can't wait to go back to try the Wellington burger...
