Second visit to York, pick a random place, ended up at the Hippo, very accommodating, food was beautiful! It's definitely worth a visit!
Semi Parmed Life burger
Tutor Tots
Wild Bill
Fries
Yum!
Wow! This place is just awesome. Great drinks, super food and it's a fair price for central york. 1700 to 1800 is 3 courses for £20. And you get a lot for your money.
Super nice staff and the place is nicely busy!
Will definitely be back!
We went for the lunchtime burger deal which was good value. The sauces/dips were incredible! The burger was a bit dry and could’ve done with more sauce. But the wings were 10/10 wish I could’ve tried them all.
We came in just for a small bite and a beer or two on a Saturday evening. The service is a bit slow - we waited a while to place out orders and even longer to get the bill (finally went up to the counter to pay).
Their own beer is alright, nothing special — we expected it to be on tap but it’s canned. We ordered the vegetarian Wachos which are generally quite lovely but extremely spicy!
I’ve previously been a bit of a regular of the two Fat Hippo locations in Sheffield it was nice to visit again as it’s been a little while! Food was great as always, staff were polite and friendly. Only minor bit of feedback I’d give would possibly be a non - alcoholic beer or mock tail option and that we were waiting quite a while for the bill but these are minor nitpicks
Amazing as always. Best burger chain I think I've been to. Had the beef burger last time, chicken this time. A must try and Poppy our waitress Poppy was great! Will be back again soon, thank you!
We’ve had a great time the other day! The staff was incredibly friendly and kind - especially to our dog. The food was delicious and they had a selection even for vegans. Which we greatly appreciated. Their fries are just a must! Katie, who was our waitress, was super nice and swift and always ready to help. We appreciated that she frequently checked even on our furry companion and made sure he had enough cuddles and pets.
The food is alright but not great. We had frickles and dirty tots to start with, both really nice, followed by two vegan burgers - one chicken style, the other beef style. One burger was way to sweet (I think it was the sauce) whereas the other was tasty but too dry. Chips could’ve used more salt. The alcoholic slush was nice but really hard to drink. Perhaps the meat burgers are nicer, better vegan burgers can be found elsewhere.
One of the best burgers that I've had in York. We had heard mixed reviews, however we were pleasantly surprised. The starters and burgers were very nice (cheese balls & the wings). The portions were generous, huge intact, and the staff gave us a box to take home what we couldn't finish. The staff and service was efficient. We will definitely be going back when we next fancy a burger and are in town.
Came in for some food and drinks. I had the crack wings to start and Kula Shaker for main with fries with my partner having cheese balls to start and semi-parmed life with tater tots. Absolutely bonus that they have Irn Bru on draft!
BEST chicken wings I've ever had.
BEST chicken burger I've ever had.
BEST fried chicken I've ever had.
2 starters, 2 mains and sides, 2 drinks each all for less than £50. Staff were very friendly and welcoming too.
WoW 🤩, first time visiting with fiends. Highly recommend booking a table here. Staff friendly and helpful. Good atmosphere and the food was absolutely amazing. This is a burger 🍔 restaurant and they are amazing , portions are large! I ordered a starter and wish I hadn’t as I didn’t have room for all of my burger which is a good thing I suppose.
Definitely will come back
No parking outside.
Our second visit to Fat Hippo and I’m afraid to say, not as good as the first.
Perhaps it was lunch versus dinner that caused the quality to slide ever so slightly. We booked for 6:00 p.m and after a small wait in a busy reception area (of sorts) we were shown to the high tables next to the windows.
There were 5 in total in out party and ordered a few drinks (including a bottle of Chenin from the restricted wine list) Service was efficient and friendly and drinks came in no time.
We orders 2 build your own burgers from the children’s’ menu, American burger, Five Lies (vegetarian option) and a Honey Monsta which at £17.90 I feel is overpriced. If you are going to charge this much for a burger, ensure you counter this with larger portions of fries.
Absolutely incredible burgers for both vegans and meat eaters alike. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Definitely recommended.
Lovely food and great atmosphere from Beth and all the team we saw. Really enjoyed our meal. Will definitely be returning when we visit York again.
Amazing food and amazing service! Was served by Fanni and Sarah, they were excellent friendly staff. Defo coming back x
Amazing burgers. Seriously the food was addictive. The burger I ordered was massive, i was full still couldn't stop eating and the dirty curry fries left me speechless. Will recommend and definitely will be back. Thank you for the amazing service by the manager sorry forgot your name but he took care of us very well.
