Having read good reviews we weren't disappointed with the burgers, and the crunchy nut chicken strips were fantastic. But I can't give 5* as the service was so bad. 1hr 15 mins wait for the food (without warning) and when we asked for the bill it never came. We had to go to the bar to ask to pay. It wasn't even that busy.
Burgers were very good, baby tots sides were also very good so well deserving of the 4* just a shame about the service
Being a Vegetarian(no meat, no eggs) family it is difficult for us to find a decent burger joint but at Fat Hippo we finally found our safe haven.
Loved the absolutely smashing food here.
The staff is lovely, courteous and accommodating.

Food tasted amazing. Deserts are lovely and drinks were interesting.
Going for 4 stars because of only one reason, Onion Rings though very tasty were a bit oily.
However no regrets and will go back and order the same things again.
The food was amazing (lots of gorgeous flavours and unique burgers) and there were quite a few vegetarian options. The burgers cost around £13-£15. So they are a little pricey but I would say they are worth it. There were also lots of different deals you could get for example: 2 courses for £16. So I would recommend checking those out to get the best offer. We sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I definitely recommend going here and will be going back. 5/5.
Amazing burger place! As a Coeliac, I felt very welcome and the gluten-free food was delicious, my boyfriends non gluten-free food looked amazing too! The gent who was working yesterday, was very helpful and made me feel at ease! Will definitely return!
Really great food, we struggled to choose because the variety was so good! We tried the black ice cream as well, which was super delicious but should come with a warning that it will turn your mouth black haha.
Absolutely beautiful burgers, so juicy and a lot of flavour. Everyone enjoyed their food, and I definitely recommend and I will be back, cannot wait to try other things off the menu. Also like to add that Maxine was such a star, very friendly and welcoming and made our experience a pleasant one 😊
The alcoholic slushes were an added bonus, so good!
Incredible food. Portion size finished me off! But I’ve got my doggy bag for tomorrow! Best chicken wings I’ve ever eaten. The hot honey sauce with blue cheese on the wings is something to behold. Super friendly service. Chilled. Loved it. Thanks!
Food was great, service was good, atmosphere was rubbish but we were there early afternoon so I don't think it was a true reflection.
Delicious food. Massive portions and irn Bru on tap!
Had a really good meal at the Headingley branch of Fat Hippo after visiting them in the North East. Sometimes burgers can go over the top and be too big to enjoy. Ours were just the right size to enjoy. We went In just after 5pm and there was a 2 course offer for £15. This reduced the menu a bit but made it really easy to pick what we wanted. Had the house beers from Allendale brewery, both of these beers very good. Really enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend a visit to the restaurant.
Best burger I’ve ever had! Service was great, staff was super friendly. At the time my partner and I went, it was quite quiet and the vibe was great. Overall great experience
Friendly and considerate staff, great atmosphere and excellent choice of food. Will deffo return very soon!
What a place seriously brilliant value for money food wise the kids meals were as big as the adults and the equity of food was lovely
Order the cheese balls for a starter but I would definitely recommend sharing them as it is a large portion, they are delicious. The burgers are to die for too, really good comfort food and the staff are really friendly. There is also quite a few vegan options so good for all to enjoy 😊
Amazing amazing amazing… max was super lovely who served us… new to the area so will definitely re-visit
Having spent a lot of time searching for the best burgers, I can honestly say that this place tops the list. (the chicken is amazing too!)
Just got back from a fantastic lunch, and I couldn't find anything at fault. Generous portions, top quality ingredients and lovely staff. Oh and great value.
Keep it up guys, we'll be back soon.
Happy New year.
Lovely food, £8 for a massive portion. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Served by Maxine who was lovely too
Went for dinner with a friend. Staff friendly and food was really delicious. Opted for the Hippo Hour menu, which was good value. The Kiev C was sublime and the Trash Brown starters and Brownie dessert were tasty too. Would definitely return.
