Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was amazing!! So so tasty with a wide choice to choose from."
"Vegan burgers here are literally unreal, especially the fake chicken ones."
"The burgers at Fat Hippo are really good, being cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients."
"The cheese balls started was amazing. Burger was very well cooked and overall a fantastic burger."
"The food is great and there is a variety of items."
Cons:
"Found the frickles to be soggy though."
"The food all looked lovely and was definitely cooked well, but just felt so full of grease."
"My burger was a little flavourless and my cut fries were a tad bland too."
"Burgers taste great, but the vegan chicken and chicken options had a little weird texture and flavour."
"The food was cold when it arrived and I think owing to the greasiness of it, it was near inedible."
Service Quality
Pros:
"The staff at Fat Hippo are friendly and from the moment we were seated, our server, Jess, was attentive."
"Super friendly, attentive & efficient service, nothing was too much trouble."
"Our server Fred was really lovely, checked up on us to see if we wanted more drinks."
"Service was amazing. Our server, Fred, was so lovely - he was attentive and great fun."
"The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Clean and lovely environment. Child friendly."
Cons:
"Only other criticism was tables were so close to each other that I could not sit comfortably."
"Only downside is sometimes the wait for food is long but it’s always super busy."
"Really disappointed as they hadn't updated the menu or made us aware they took the things I was looking forward to trying."
"Took us nearly 15 minutes to be able to pay as the servers were chatting by the bar."
"We ordered when we got there, after waiting 45 minutes we asked what the wait was, and only then they came up with the excuse that their ticket machine had broken."
Atmosphere and Ambiance
Pros:
"From the moment you step through the door, you're met with an inviting atmosphere that combines quirky decor with a laid-back, welcoming vibe."
"Great atmosphere. Music was good indoors and not overly loud. Toilets are clean."
"The atmosphere, quality of service, and burger all added together to make a great place to eat out."
"The atmosphere was relaxed and the food was lovely."
"Lovely chilled atmosphere, service was great."
Cons:
"Music was quite loud (which may be an issue to some people) but really added to the atmosphere."
"However the building itself is very dark and dingy and lacks a welcoming atmosphere."
"The only slight negative was the service, in terms of clearing the tables and fetching the drinks."
"The place was freezing cold."
"The stairs were extremely slippery which we were warned about, toilet cubicles are rather small."
Value for Money
Pros:
"While not the cheapest option in town, the quality of the food justifies the price."
"Just over £30 for two burgers with sides and two soft drinks which is really good value."
"All in all, great value for the food and drink on offer."
"Food is well prepared. Although I didn't order from the veggie/vegan menu I was impressed by the selection."
"Great food at a good price. I'm vegetarian and so find it hard to find a good burger place."
Cons:
"Prices were pretty good as well based on what food we got."
"Also zero seasoning on the fries - not even salt which isn't on the table."
"The prices are also 20% too high for what you get and the menu is complex to navigate."
"When the food finally arrived it was all cold and not just luke warm it was fridge cold."
"Food is fantastic but I got the middle finger from the girl on the table next to us."
