Absolutely tremendous meal. Staff are super friendly and accommodating (shout out to Lydia and Marcy!). Haven't had chicken tenders as good as these in a while! HIGHLY recommended!

Food was really nice definitely recommend fat hippo . Lydia was our server and was amazing!

Came here on a work do for Easter Sunday. Place was quiet but the service was lovely despite there being 12 of us! We were served by Lydia and Marcie who were delightful, Lydia said she was quite new but you wouldn’t have known, she did a stellar job. Food was delicious, all plates cleaned by all of us. Absolutely will be coming back!

Ali served us today. He was very attentive and always came to check that we were okay! The food was amazing!! Would definitely come back!

Great place for burgers in Cardiff chicken or beef patties. Really flavoursome and great choices. Friendly staff especially Hannah.

Got the American burger- quite good! Very filling, and the chips were great too. Definitely try the fat hippo dip, it was my favorite part. Hannah was a great server, got me things quickly and was very kind! Great spot!

We went for the deal meal, it consisted of any burger of our choice, any side, two tenders and a drink. We also ordered onion rings. We went for the Swiss Tony burger, unfortunately the sauce is so over powering you can’t taste the mushrooms, cheese, bacon or Cajun onions. Burger was actually cooked well tho. We went for the fries which has a good heat to the chip spice. We had a garlic butter mayo, which had to garlic flavour. Tenders were nothing special. Onion rings looked amazing, the taste of them was fantastic, they could have done with the oil draining from them more first before serving as they left loads of grease in the bowl.

Second visit so there must be something good. Burgers are excellent. Chippy chips side was also top. Drinks are a little expensive but not too bad for Cardiff. Service was a little slow to start but once our order was taken things moved well.

A great birthday meal - many thanks to Fliss for taking good care of us!

Great food. Fab gluten free options and didn't feel like I was missing out on any options. Friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Service and food was amazing. Our server Nell was great

Great meal, Fliss was a fantastic server! Loved the Watchos 🤤🤤

Wicked burger- George was great!

Lovely friendly staff and food was fantastic

jack and marley are very hospitable and kind

Food was lovely can't fault it , great portion size Staff member who took our order ( dyed red hair ) was polite welcoming and helpful But once we are enjoying our meal about 5 mins after it's arrived another staff member comes out wanting to take payment , even though asking if it's ok I felt pressured to comply I understand this may be standard for the particular business but this felt intrusive For a very messy advised meal of burgers and fries using our hands ,no napkins offered or supplied

Jessica was really lovely and the food was great! 💕

Jack was our server. Very quick service & helpfull. Food was amaze! Deffo reccomend ! X

Food was a bit meh however service made up for it. Good drinks and very friendly staff. Food wasn’t great, dry and overcooked beef and greasy and oily chicken. Staff made my visit pleasant despite the disappointing food. Both George and Talisha did amazing.

Fantastic vegan burgers and great service. We went there a couple of times during our four day stay in Cardiff. Well worth it.

Great service and the food was absolutely stunning. Staff were very friendly and very accommodating with allergies.

Fantastic Food, Service and atmosphere perfect for a birthday party. The team especially Lydia and Sarah dealt with every request from the party present and even helped when it came to a diabetic having a low blood sugar. Looking forward to our next visit.

Once again amazing food and service! Loving the new deals and options on the menu. Talisha our waitress was great! Made sure everything was perfect and very attentive and helpful. Cannot recommended enough

Amazing! Our server talisha was fabulous and super attentive. Food was tasty and drinks very good.

Best place for burgers in Cardiff with amazing cocktails. Talisha our server was super helpful and friendly in what was a busy restaurant, deserves a pay rise! Excellent food, cannot recommend enough

Amazing burgers, good selection on drinks. Quick and efficient staff. Talisha was brilliant

Lush food and lush service from Talisha. Really made our day

Great food, drinks were a bit meh. Service was very quick and friendly. The atmosphere wasn't amazing as it seemed quite busy and loud.

Brilliant service by Lydia, very pleased, thoroughly enjoyed

The food and service was great! (Lydia)

Lydia gave exceptional customer service with the food being an easy 10/10 quality. Reasonably priced too!

Place is lovely. Very welcoming. Lydia was super helpful. Food was delish

Amazing food, friendly staff, great music

Food and drinks were very nice. Lydia was super helpful and made some nice recommendations!

Had a great afternoon meal with a friend. Excellent food and excellent service. Lydia was especially attentive and friendly. Would come again.

Lovely waitress and food was delicious

Food and service was excellent, thanks to Lydia :)

The burger and dirty fries were lovely, there was a good range of drinks and fab service. Lydia was our waitress and she was lovely. We’d definitely come here again.

Ordered GREAT WHITE BUFFALO , it’s written Halal, when it I got the food, there was bacon which not halal! Not sure how it’s written halal and has Bacon on the meal!! Service is ok, they changed the meal straightaway! The chicken is very greasy/oily. Never back again!

Smashing burgers, nice ambience and Good service.

Great 3rd experience at fat hippo cardiff! It’s a great place to eat, great food, friendly staff. Also, the service was extremely quick!

Tasty burgers and milk shakes, prompt service despite being busy, thank you

Didn’t read the reviews before coming but the overall review scores are accurate. I’ve eaten at most burger joints that there is as I love a good burger. This place is unfortunately average and that’s being generous. Staff were friendly it has to be said but like mentioned in previous reviews not very attentive, it wasn’t busy and there were several waiting staff just chatting etc. Maybe I just the chef on an off day but there’s no reason to return with several far better joints around.

Great food and affordable, Ali was a great server

Food was late, very cold and tasteless. Burgers were also stodgy and mostly tasted of beige. Burgers were also overpriced, definitely ‘quantity over quality’ in terms of portions.

Great food. Our waiter Ali was fab!

Very welcoming atmosphere. Ali, our waiter was very helpful as it was our first time here. Food was outstanding and plenty of it. Excellent value for money and the friendliest staff.

Service was so bad. Food was decent but not good enough to make up for the lack of service.

Best burgers i’ve had in a while. Easy for me being gluten intolerant and all the same burgers so very easy choice. Great service

Brilliant burgers!! Definitely worth it, the choices of different burgers is unreal. Service was a little slow to begin with considering there were only us and two other tables in. Other than that we both enjoyed our meals. Will definitely be going again.

Our server Robbie was very friendly, polite and super attentive to allergy requirements. It was a refreshing experience, lovely atmosphere and great food.

Amazing! Best place to eat in Cardiff, could not recommend more. Food was cooked perfectly and drinks were fabulous! My go to burger restaurant

En realidad no puedo comentar sobre la comida ya que no llegamos tan lejos como para recibirla. Llegamos para una reserva a las 6 pm pensando que tendríamos mucho tiempo antes de un espectáculo en la arena a las 7 . 30 . a las 7 . 05 comida aún no había llegado fueron informados, su pedido es el próximo ticket. Basado en la velocidad del servicio a nuestro alrededor, tuvimos que salir antes de que la comida incluso llegó una hora después de ordenar. Después de haber ahorrado el apetito por las hamburguesas, se agravó la decepción al tener hambre durante el espectáculo. Se podía decir que otras personas se enfrentaban a tiempos de espera similares, pero habrían apreciado los avisos. No se necesita mucho para un “lo siento, aprecio que haya reservado una mesa, pero estamos frente a una hora de espera en este momento”... parecía que estaban batiendo las opciones para llevar, aunque tal vez solo pedir comida para llevar y probablemente será más rápido.

After an 1 1/4 hour waiting with no service and no food we and 3 others tables began leaving.

Lydia our server did amazing on her first day!!

The food was delicious and patty melt burger was on notch! 🫧

Fat Hippo Cardiff is an absolute gem for burger lovers! The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The variety of toppings and sides, especially the loaded fries, are amazing. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. If you’re in Cardiff and craving a great burger, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

It was an amazing experience. I had a lot of fun and the food was amazing

Very disgusting behaviour from the people who works there and they also request people on telegram to ask for the fake reviews to get their restaurant and they also tell you to send the screenshot but when u ask them about the money they will block you which I think is very cheap and disgusting behaviour from them.

Burgers were all great, including the vegan option. Service was friendly and fast. Great option after the rugby match

Beautiful place to eat. Very friendly and a very happy atmosphere and the food is exceptional. I am a big chicken fan. The chicken cooked and served here is probably the best place I have ate from. What you guys waiting for , join in and enjoy great food.

Great food, great experience, best restaurant I've been to ever

Nell was great! Really good service and great food

Great time at fat hippo service speedy and food unreal. Nell was class

It was a great experience i ordered classic America burger with a side of onion rings, the service was great and it didn’t take more than 10 mins to come, the place is affordable and loved the staff and the atmosphere 10/10.

First visit to Fat Hippo for a 16th birthday lunch. Everyone in our group loved it. We ordered chicken, beef and vegan burgers, fries and coleslaw, beer, wine and shakes - everything was delish. Servings were huge and even the teens were stuffed. Please consider offering a single patty option on weekends to prevent waste! Unusually, service isn't included on the bill and we nearly missed this - the wait staff were great so don't forget to tip them. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Brilliant food Perfectly presented and tasted amazing

Amazing, Food was the best so was our service, our waiter Torin was great, drinks was great, highly recommend

Lush food. Torin was a good server. And has nice hair xoxo

We got the buffalo chicken fingers which were DIVINE! Best food we’ve had in wales so far! Staff was extremely friendly and everything was delicious.

Food was perfect. We were welcomed and seated by ali who was brilliant and made us feel welcomed.

We had Ali serve us today. What a guy!! Thanks Ali!! Great value too 😊

Wow! Just wow! Went here for the first time and I've recently had to go dairy free and going to a burger place and eating vegan food it's usually same old! Just WOW! This place was amazing! Cocktails were cute and yummy! Could tell they were fresh and not artificial. The food was absolutely gorgeous! The rest of my party were eating meat and they absolutely loved their meals too! Would highly recommend! Staff were beautiful! Service was quick and cooked to perfection! Would highly recommend.

Absolutely insane 🍔 Highly recommend this lovely burger place!

Sat outside, was a great location to watch the world go by. Service was friendly and didn't have to wait long. The Burger was amazing, very tasty and filling. The seasoned hand cut fries were a bit spicy, (I don't really eat spicy things) I also tried the Hot Honey Buffalo dip, that had a really strong spicy hit, didn't have to much of that. For two of us, 2 Americian burgers, fries & soda £35. Will definitely go back.

Easily the greasiest place I've ever eaten and ive been to Greece. All the food deep fried to oblivion. Slippery floor upstairs probably from all the grease fumes pumping out of the kitchen. Way over priced for a few bugers

Food was okay quality but nothing special & items missing (butter beer) 🫤

Our server Hannah was lovely, polite and served with a smile. The food was tasty but (I don't think I've ever said this) I needed a smaller portion! I would of loved a dessert but there was no room.

Good food, and great service from Hannah

The service was really nice. Specially Ali was really nice to us serving us with food and drinks. The ambience was great.

The service was great. It was our first visit we didn’t know much about the menu but the staff was really friendly and helpful and the food we had was absolutely amazing.

Super burgers. Would benefit from better draft selection.

Great food. Big portions. Pretty good value for money.

Food was really late and then really cold. Really disappointed and won’t order again

A top-notch restaurant! The food was well-prepared, bursting with flavors, and served in generous portions. The service was excellent, making for a great meal.

Food took over 2 hours to arrive and was stone cold and damaged by the time we received it. terrible service
