The chicken wings are amazing and the dip that comes with it!
I enjoyed my burger and fries. The burger was cooked to perfection and very succulent.
Thank you to Sam my waiter who was really patient with me.
Had an excellent time here!
The Vegan options were gorgeous, and different!
Absolutely will be going out of my way to come back.
My friends had meat options and said exactly the same, that the food was brilliant and very filling.
Staff were attentive without being overbearing.
Only downside was the toilets are more than a little grotty, but I can overlook that!
The beef burgers are actually very good here, I’m usually very critical but everything was great considering the reasonable prices. Service was spot on and friendly. I dined in the Newcastle restaurant and it’s ok in terms of setting, the layout is a little strange and not much atmosphere but clean and comfortable. I would return to try out the other items on the menu! I had the American burger with tatter tot side.
I came here with my partner and some family because we had tried the Fat Hippo in York in the past. We sat in the middle part of the restaurant near the bar which had a beautiful Christmas tree. We were allowed to bring our dog in and the staff were lovely brought him a bowl of water. Their food was very nice with vegan options for me since I can't eat meat or fish. I ordered a festive burger with a milkshake all of their shakes can be made vegan. They do a lot of burger type food however my mum isn't something who eats burgers and still enjoyed her meal a lot.
The food was amazing. The first burger that I could finish the whole of it. They offered free side for each burger ordered at the time I came.
Service was nice, not too welcoming, yet you’ll get what you ask for.
The area was not too spacious, so in rush hours, it might be a bit crowded.
Great burger chain, one of the best burgers I've ever had, would recommend. Nice upmarket industrial atmosphere. Good alternative options (including Gluten free), servers were knowledgeable about the allergen information.
*EDITED TO ADD*
*After making a complaint, the management of Fat Hippo Newcastle and Head Office have been brilliant - giving us a full explanation of what happened, and have offered a generous and helpful resolution to the issues we had. Really impressed with their customer service.*
Very poor service, took over 45 mins for starters to come out and then another half hour after we'd finished them for the mains to arrive. Totally ignored and no apology or explanation given. Bill took a while to come as well, and although I chose a 10% tip (already generous after such bad service) I actually got charged 30% - the server didn't let me see the screen of the payment machine so I only realised the next day.
Top tier burgers!
The Semi-Parmed Life Burger was superb.
Big chunks of crispy chicken with tasty garlic mayo and plenty of pickles. A perfect mouthful and one of the best chicken burgers I've had.
Me and my mates inhaled our food.
The staff were fantastic and the venue is atmospheric too.
Wir kommen wieder, die Burger waren der Hammer, schön saftig, super belegt. Der Service war mehr als vorbildlich, alles in Ruhe erklärt. Alle Extrawünsche umgesetzt. Rundum ein gelungener Abend.

We'll be back, the burgers were awesome, nice and juicy, great toppings. The service was more than exemplary, everything was explained calmly. All extra requests implemented. All in all a successful evening.
George and Chelsea were amazing hosts, food was perfect. Honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had. Super friendly, clean and good quality.
We attended for a birthday meal, and couldn’t be happier with the experience.
The staff were so kind, polite and accommodating.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were generous.
We brought a birthday cake and the staff had no issue in preparing it and singing happy birthday. It was truly an exceptional evening.
Thank you Fat Hippo! We can’t wait to return
Went to fat hippo for an early dinner. Lovely and quiet. Food and drinks came in under 10 minutes. Sam was an amazing server, very polite and friendly. Very affordable. Amazing vegan and vegetarian options. I would 100% recommend the kula faker. Portion sizes are amazing for the price. Will definitely be returning soon.
Such an amazing place to eat. Food was perfect. Are server Sam couldn't have been any more helpful and polite. Making sure everything was needed and catered for but leaving us to enjoy are meal at the same time. Defiantly an asset to the company with the professionalism.
Always come here and it was great again. Suzie and the rest of the team were great! However I miss the Mi5! BRING IT BACK!!!! Oh and the new brew dog black heart was lovely!
I enjoyed heading downstairs into The Fat Hippo and trying a Fat Hippo burger and waffle fries. The food was good but took quite a long time to be served after we ordered.
This place reminds me of central European beer cellars because of its barrel ceiling and hospitable vibe.
We had a great time at Fat Hippo, George and Susie were fantastic servers and very quick and helpful. Food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait long for it. Definitely recommend and will be going again!
Lovely restaurant with very kind servers! Food was good and loved the beefburgers shake!
Amazing place to go to for food. Nice, relaxed and chilled atmosphere. Sam our server was great, polite and respectful he definitely made our experience here a great one, What an absolute asset to the restaurant Nothing was to big or small. Great service!!
Absolutely loved our first night here. Splendid choice for our first anniversary dinner. So many options on the menu and the onion rings were amazing.
The burgers we got were Kula Shaker and Great White Buffalo, great choices.
Red dead Surrection was a really neat cocktail, the spice paired so well.
It was a busy night but the ambience felt cosy and the staff was quick to accommodate us with a table and always checked in on us. Will be absolutely coming back again !
