Nice friendly burger place. Great selection of burgers, both beef and chicken options, never tried the veggie stuff, would have been good to see a chicken fillet burger option. We got there on a Saturday afternoon and sat downstairs, the staff were really fast and friendly. We picked our burgers from a vast choice of options. The food and drinks came quickly although our onion ring were missing, when we asked, the waiter noticed he had put them down on another table. Rather than get us new ones, we went and grabbed them from the other table. Fortunately we had seen him putting them there, and no one had touched them, but for hygiene and customer service, I would have thought, rather than run the risk, just get us a fresh portion. However they were pretty spectacular! The burger themselves were pretty good, the American beef burger had great pickles and nice sauces, albeit slightly overcooked burgers. The Semi-parked life chicken burger was really good. We got a portion of both the fries, simple, nice and crispy, and a portion of the dirty fries, these were nice, but you really need to love the Fat Hippo sauce for them. As I said earlier, the onion rings were spectacular, brilliantly crispy. All in with mains, the sides and couple of beers and a cocktail, the bill was really good. Definitely one of the better burger chains in Glasgow.

I went for lunch during the week with my partner, we both ordered the lunch deal burger. It comes well accompanied with plenty of potatoes, my girlfriend ordered the vegetarian burger and she liked it a lot, however I ordered another one with beef and the truth is that it wasn't very good. I've seen what the "normal" burgers look like outside the lunch deal and they looked much better, so I'll be back to try those as I think for £3-4 more they would be worth it.

A very good burger restaurant with a wide variety of both beef and chicken burgers. The burgers are very tasty and as burgers come with a side included, Fat Hippo is fairly good value. The only negative I experienced was that one burger we ordered was lukewarm although still very tasty. I would definitely recommend Fat Hippo to all burger lovers.

Just back after being recommended & was bitterly disappointed it looked great on the eye, lots of sauces & colour, but really bland, I had the chicken wings to start with & found the batter to be far to crispy & greasy, then had the hangover burger & as I stated it looked the business, but tasteless, my wife had the beef patty burger & once again very bland, hate being negative, but it just wasn't for me, I much prefer 5 guys or bucks bar, just my opinion, after our visit.

Pop in with my partner, wasn't that busy, ordered a wild bill i think she got a chicken burger, we also had 2 pints, camden hall i think which really didn't look it as it was more like a large whisky glass, very over price, did enjoyed the burger though, partner didn't eat all off hers. We only stayed around 40 mins. Not much of an atmosphere, dont think we be back , as it was really over priced of what we paid for

0 flavour! Wanted to try this place based on the good reviews, staff were friendly, atmosphere nice but fundamentally as others have mentioned the food is just bland. They fall into the trap that often impacts burger places of chucking everything on a burger and assuming more is better. Can only assume they use very cheap ingredients because flavour was 0. Chips and salad were good but tiny. Dessert was truly strange, lots of sugary items jammed into a cup (like a trifle) but vegan custard used for all the options so tasted, again, of nothing Nice general idea, poor execution of the food, go elsewhere, assuming the 5 stars are from people that either like the food because it Instagrams well or people used to eating at TGIs

We each spent about £15 and got 3 burgers with fries and chicken with fries, the food was top tear being cooked well and cooked quickly. We only waited about 20 minutes and got drinks almost instantly. The staff were kind and and retrieved some lost baggage from last visit. The restaurant was filled to the brim. My younger brother had the chicken and says it’s the best ever 10/10.

I'm afraid to say this was one of the most unusual dining experiences we've ever had. I won't be long-winded and just deliver a quick account: 1. Delivered the wrong items - twice - to our table and then react in a odd passive aggressive manner as if we had caused the problem. One of the employees did - with a crumb of subtlety - suggest that we should accept them which was odd. 2. When a member of our party asked for some condiments the employee seemed annoyed by this request. At first we thought that we had read her wrong but no. She stood behind us taking an order from someone at another table and then backhandedly threw the condiments at our friend. We looked in surprise- as our friend sat with packs of condiments on her head and shoulders - at the member of staff and were met with an insane level of stink eye. 3. We also waited 30 mins for burger and chips. 4. We then waited 25 mins for the bill - which is weird for people that gave off a strong vibe that they didn't want our custom. We've been to Karen's and that was more chill than this.

I decided to try this place via Just Eat instead of the usual suspects. My order took 2 HOURS and 10 mins to arrive (not the 30-45mins indicated at the tike of ordering. ) I used to work in a takeaway and of someone's order was going to be over an hour you'd call them to let them know. When the food arrived it was cold and I had to reheat it. Whilst the buffalo wings were really tasty but they were really oily. The burger was good I think but it's difficult to tell accurately when it's cold and the fries are soggy. Might be nice for sit-in food but deffo will not order for delivery again. Disappointing

I went for breakfast a couple days ago having seen the online menu and was after a gluten free breakfast bun of some kind. When I got there the server told me it would be difficult to accommodate my intolerance and that there was nothing officially gluten free which was disappointing. I decided to stay as I was very hungry and what I did have was okay. The coffee was very nice however.

Ordered take away and asked for utensils for my husbands dirty tots, our order came with no utensils and no napkins. We are staying in a hotel so these items are crucial for our meals. My semi-chicken burger didn’t come with pickles and the chicken only covered half of the bun. I had half of a sandwich left over with no chicken to fill it. My husband buffalo chicken had no flavor, almost as if they forgot the buffalo. All around dissatisfied.
