The food was amazing!! So so tasty with a wide choice to choose from. The ultimate comfort food anyone can ask for. Just the cheese balls for example, they’re huge and crispy on the outside with a really generous amount of cheese. At least you get exactly what is said on the menu and the portions are big!
The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. There was a bit of a wait when we went but it did look quite busy.
This is a must try and I definitely recommend it!

Amazing food and really good atmosphere with an outdoor bit. Vegan burgers here are literally unreal, especially the fake chicken ones. My friend ordered a real fried chicken burger and said it was the best fried chicken she's ever had. Our server Fred was really lovely, checked up on us to see if we wanted more drinks and everything.

Really loved this place. A bit of a hidden gem, opposite the Broadway cinema. Food was delicious, portions huge, great atmosphere. What really impressed our party about this place though was the service. Super friendly, attentive & efficient. Nothing was too much trouble, Alex & Jenny went above and beyond to ensure we had great birthday celebrations for my best friend. Love this place & will 100% be back!

The mix of vibrant colors and funky artwork sets the stage for a memorable dining experience.
The staff at Fat Hippo are friendly and from the moment we were seated, our server, Jess, was attentive and the food arrived promptly, with any special requests handled with a smile. Alex also made sure to keep us smiling with plenty of banter and jokes which made our visit all the more enjoyanble
Whether you're a burger aficionado or just looking for a fun, delicious meal, Fat Hippo caters to a diverse range of tastes and dietary preferences. While the focus is undeniably on burgers, there are also good options for sides and salads. Vegetarians and vegans are well-catered for as well.
The burgers at Fat Hippo are really good, being cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients and really showcased the kitchen's abilities to provide tasty and satisfying food.

While not the cheapest option in town, the quality of the food justifies the price. Considering the portion sizes and the overall dining experience, it's very reasonable for a memorable meal out.

Food is absolutely incredible, I literally go out of my way to come to his place for just the cheese balls alone!! All the food is incredible, tasty alcoholic milkshakes and really not outrageous prices for what you get! 10/10 would recommend this incredible restaurant.
Alexandra Broughton
Best burger I’ve ever had, hands down. Just over £30 for two burgers with sides and two soft drinks which is really good value. Service was amazing. Our server, Fred, was so lovely - he was attentive and great fun. Will 100% be back soon!

Really nice place! The staff were really friendly and the place was really clean. Music was quite loud (which may be an issue to some people) but really added to the atmosphere. Good vegan options, limited gluten free options (particularly dessert). Would definitely recommend!

Been coming here over the years and cannot fault anything.
The service is always fantastic and everyone is always friendly.
The food is great and there is a variety of items.
Always book beforehand as it’s always ram packed!
We ordered cheese balls and tater tots for starters. Both a hit !
Onions rings are nice and crispy but could do with a bit more seasoning.
Only downside is sometimes the wait for food is long but it’s always super busy and recently our food was a bit cold the last time even though they were busy so not sure what went wrong.

Great place to eat, I have been a couple of times now and service and food have been excellent.
The burgers are outstanding, there's so many burger places in Nottingham now, is day this was probably my number 2 only because they don't have a great choice of beers (for me) that said, milkshakes are excellent, and they do have bottles of blue moon.
Burgers taste great, double patties everywhere, buns are so good, the toppings on the one I had today were great.
Loads of seating indoors and out for when the weather's good. Music was good indoors and not overly loud. Toilets are clean.
Waiting staff are all really friendly and didn't leave us hanging about waiting for the bill, food came out really quickly and it was all hot and fresh.
Great place to eat, highly recommended.

Genuinely one of the best burgers I've ever had. I opted for the "Born Slippy" which is a cheeseburger with prime rib. I also added crispy onions and an onion ring. The meat was cooked to perfection. It all melted in your mouth and was an explosion of flavour with every bite. We had "Wachos" to start which is a great serving of waffle fries with beef, cheese, hot sauce and jalapeños. It was a lot of food for a starter and extremely tasty. I also had a milkshake called a "Mars Attack" and it was so good I had to get two. If you like chocolate milkshakes, you MUST try it. Overall this visit exceeded expectations. Very satisfied customer.

This is honestly one of the best food experiences I've ever had. The atmosphere, quality of service, and burger all added together to make a great place to eat out. My friend with me has some allergies and the team were more than happy to ensure these were successfully catered for.
I'm not allowed to give more stars, but I would if I could
Chris Briggs
Incredible burger with amazing service.
We rocked up on a Saturday evening for a meal without any booking and they managed to find us a nice tabel outside. Our server was Alex who was incredibly nice and friendly. He gave us very helpful and nice and chatty.
Food was great, the cheese balls started was amazing. Burger was very well cooked and overall a fantastic burger. Really nice meal and would definitely recommend
Rebecca Dane

Joe Trickey
Really had a tasty experience here at Fat Hippo. Loved the options and edits you could make for your burger. Sides were beautiful and the burgers juicy and lots to choose from. We had some nice drinks too. RETURNED: Still just as good.
Back again: best improvements - service was much better.

Went for lunch today with my friend. Both rate our burgers 5/5. Extra cheesy, the honey garlic mayo was lush, the beef was juicy, not dry at all. Fresh bun.
They have real coke in glass bottles. Hot crispy fries.
Friendly, hospitable and helpful servers.
I loved it, I’ll be back. 😁👍
Fred
The most marvellous burger in Nottingham? perhaps so!! delicious meal with wonderful service.
Poppy was a delight, happy to help with any request. Jess was a font of allergy wisdom and alleviated any concerns I had whilst providing excellent menu recommendations! Clayton provided stunningly fast bar service for which we were immensely impressed.
Such a wonderful team! It was lovely getting to know them and I’m sure fat hippo will be seeing me soon!
