Fat Hippo Nottingham in Nottingham

This place hasn't really improved over the 3 previous visits. It's not Average but it's not Very Good either, it's just 'Good'. My Swiss Tony was nice enough and the Hand Cuts were also nice. My daughter's was a little on the cold side. The service was standard 'any allergies' 'are you ready to order' 'how was the food' 'is that cash or card?' Zero interest in us as customers. This place has had enough chances, I will be going to Bohns in future!

Requested a highchair on booking, didnt get one. Instead they sat us on a high table with a 2 year old who then fell off twice, mains took over an hour to come out & it wasn't busy. Chicken burger was extremely greasy. Sat us on the closest table to the door which was freezing & bangs ridiculously loudly every 3 minutes with Uber/Just Eat drivers constantly in & out. Not very impressed unfortunately, after hearing such great things about it. Won't be returning.

Our server Grace was so lovely and bubbly, made our experience at this restaurant really warm and happy

great service from tis and rob, and great food as always!

Best gluten free burger! The trash browns are lush and you should ask for extra cheese, it's so worth it!

Very tasty burgers and good service

Rob (Dave) will oversell you food BUT it’s amazing!!! Listen to him!!

Food was amazing, especially the freddie’s fingers, so happy they are back! Service was 10/10, Rob was an amazing server and provided us with whatever we needed, he is a credit to the team. Tishawn also made us the best desserts, highly recommend.

Food was outstanding, very glad Freddie’s fingers are back. Rob was an AMAZING server- he deserves a promotion. Very glad to be coming back to the restaurant after that awful male manager left. The restaurant was great before that, and is back to its high standards. Well done fat hippo Nottingham for finding your former glory

A decent burger place in Nottingham.

Dined last night, stay and service was really good. Unfortunately the chicken burger my daughter was still pink inside, she didn’t realise and now has food poisoning today. Sorry but won’t be going back

Order through uber eats, one burger was fine but the burger seemed to be missing half the ingredients.

Been looking for a replacement for Annie's when i visit Nottingham with friends. This is that place. It was quiet on a Friday lunchtime but the food was great!

Un grupo más grande de nosotros no regresará la comida fría cuando salió como si solo se hubiera dejado para que llegaran las edades, tampoco es barato para lo que te dan

Esta fue nuestra primera visita, y me temo que tuvimos sentimientos encontrados. Mi esposo estaba muy contento con su hamburguesa de res, dijo que era excelente, sin embargo yo tenía hamburguesa de pollo y sentí, como los aros de cebolla, era muy grasosa. Y realmente necesito mencionar la velocidad del servicio, que era demasiado largo para dos hamburguesas. Casi parecía que los pedidos en línea estaban teniendo prioridad, ya que alguien estaba recogiendo pedidos todo el tiempo, y los pedidos del restaurante no aparecían tan rápido. Lástima, ya que 40 minutos de espera es simplemente inaceptable. Entiendo que no es un lugar de comida rápida, y la calidad lleva tiempo, pero no tanto tiempo.

Food is amazing, I recommend the fried pickles they are amazing

Cheese balls are epic but share them as they massive as are the very good burgers. Waitresses kindly added a candle to my daughters burger for her birthday and accomadated my eldests fussy order. Reccomended.

Nice moody industrial decor. Music would have been a nice added touch, there was enough people that background chatter created the ambience, but with less people the no music could make the atmosphere awkward. The food was lovely with Vegan and Gluten Free options available. I had a watermelon margarita that was simply stunning! It had chili flakes on the rim of the glass, I could have drank 10 of them! Staff were great 😊

Really nice one of the best burgers I've had would highly recommend 👍👍

Extremely poor service, waited to be seated no one came we had to walk up to a member of staff to ask if it was ok for us to sit as we had never been, (only three tables were occupied so really not that busy on a weekday afternoon). Once seated ordering took another 20 minutes and food another 30 minutes to arrive, we had to ask for cutlery to be brought to our table. Waitress literally slammed it on with no apology, shocking behaviour really.When it was time to pay, we waited another 30 minutes for card machine to be brought to us and when card machine was brought it malfunctioned, so yet another 10 minute wait. Am sure the world wont stop because of my review but theres so much room for improvement at this establishment.Food was ok.

Freezing cold venue, 1 HR wait for food with half the tables empty. Had to ask 3 times for bill and chase 3 different servers to pay... Feels like they don't even want your custom! Won't return.

Food and service was amazing , served by Daisy and tishawn who were great!

Kaylie & Daisy were fantastic and couldn't help more Food fantastic as always Make sure you visit, its a great place to eat

Daisy was a lovely with her service

Daisy was really friendly and helpful. The only issue was the slamming of the door, so I recommend getting a table away from the entrance.

The food is good but the wait on service is sometimes a let down and if they seat you by the door it's freezing. It often feels like people are sat on top of one another.

Really nice food affordable and nice seats, very polite server-Daisy

The server daisy was lovely - she was very sweet and polite

Very happy with the food and Daisy was brilliant, does need to learn how to say Schofferhofer though! 😂

We ordered this as a takeaway and it was awful. The burgers were tiny and tasted bad. The burger meat seamed super cheap/ packet. Really not worth the cost. Very disappointed! It also was being prepared for ages after the order.

Phoebe had great customer service

My burger was tough and pink in the middle absolutely disgusting !

Brilliant service from Charlotte and Daisy 👍🏻

Charlotte and Daisy were great for our party of 9. Great food, great time.

Daisy was an absolute credit and made our evening a pleasure. Also big shoutout to Charlotte for looking after us on my birthday

Good food, quick service and nice atmosphere. Thanks!

Daisy and Charlotte were very helpful, attentive and looked after us

Had two lovely servers, Charlotte and Daisy, great atmosphere and plenty of delicious vegan options!

Daisy and Charlotte gave great service shame the chief didn't know how to serve hot food. And the upgrade fries for £4.5 not worth it!

The food is great, but the service has a lot to answer for..... To order took 15 minutes, in an almost empty restaurant. To recieve the food was nice and quick, tasted great! To get plates taken took well over half an hour. We literally sat waiting for a dessert that we couldn't order, all in all less than 45 minutes from ordering we had all finished, but didn't leave for another 45 plus minutes and counting whilst staff were absent, on their phones or generally not paying us any heed, they won't even take our money despite asking how we wanted to pay, they've just not been back to let us pay. I was excited to come and try out the restaurant, I won't be back that is for sure.... very disappointing.

Allowed in, told possible 45 minute wait. An hour later asked about order. Told "on way" whilst server was leaving building. 30 mins later asked where food again, mains came out before starters, ok that's fine but onion rings burnt to a crisp. Asked about starters, in the end asked for starters to take away as we had been there 2 hours at this point. Celebrating a 21st, sorry. Just not good enough.

I have to say the manager of this store is definitely a RACIST!!! I don’t know why he can be the manager. We recently visited this restaurant and had a terrible experience. Despite plenty of empty seats, we were asked to a corner table by the manager and then we talked with the staff whether we can change because the chairs are too high for us. But the manager refused even though there were other empty seats available. The staff explained that those seats were reserved. However, this explanation seemed highly suspicious as we were never asked about reservations upon entering, and several groups who arrived later without reservations were seated inside. The food was also disappointing, with overpriced burgers that were nothing special. You guys can look at the second picture. One is £14.99, another one is £8.99. The size is the SAME! After the meal, we needed a takeaway box, but we received a stepped-on lid for our takeout. Anyway, I can't recommend this restaurant due to the UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF and the TERRIBLE FOOD as well as the RACISM.

Mercedes was absolutely amazing and didn’t stop working with a smile - was lovely to everyone even though it was extremely busy

Really banging grub. Great service, well dine Sarah and all. Lots of food! A little drafty near door but no complaints! We’ll be back! Hard shake next time…..

After 11 months from the first review I can say that nothing has changed Very rude staff, careless with drivers who go to pick up their orders, treated myself and others riders like a rubbish.

Visited here last night for a family member’s birthday, the food took a hour and half to come out and then it wasn’t very warm unfortunately. Such a shame as it could have been a really nice meal. We did all still eat it and we could see they were over run with online orders (just eat) etc so think this is why it took so long for our food to come out. The restaurant was freezing cold and there was quite a few people sat in coats eating. Such a shame as we all had such high hopes for this place. I would definitely go back but hopefully we not have the same experience. Staff were all great and did give us a free drink to apologise.

The food was amazing and the restaurant was great too. Phoebe was very attentive and friendly the whole way throughout our visit, she made our experience, we’ll definitely be back

Terrible service. Food not great.

What a lovely surprise! Wasn’t expecting such great food and service. Phoebe was a great server and very friendly.

Food was lovely, Daisy was great!

To whomever this may reach….. i send my all my thanks and gratitude to the most astonishing meal i just had at Fat Hippos! (talking about the restaurant not my partner ha ha xx) ordered a burger then to my suprise was greeted with an absoloute whopper of one at my table, and all for a great price! The young lady that served us had lovely manners and an outstanding polite attitude towards us, Feebie, her name was. Thank you all again, will definitely be revisiting XD

phoebe is the main course at this place!!! she was absolutely exceptional!!! food and service was good, but phoebe made this place 10 times better. she looked great, and treated us like royalty 👸🏼 11/10 for phoebe thank you for being the super star you are 🥰😍

Me and my partner recently came for food and had such a great! Experience! Phoebe served us and helped us decide on food as we couldn’t pick! She was very helpful and made the experience even better! we enjoyed our food and will definitely return! Just shows what good staff can do to a dining experience!

Was here the other day and had amazing food and it was served by an absolutely lovely friendly girl called Phoebe. She was very attentive and helpful. Wouldn’t have had such a good time without her I don’t think! Food was great too

Amazing place. Phoebe was so demure when she served my food. The food was amazing but phoebe was even better! She should be on the menu! #burger #chips #phoebe

Great food, great company. Burger was absolutely huge. Daisy is a sweetheart.

I had the Semi Parmed Life chicken burger and it was sooo good! Massive too so great value for money. We were looked after by Daisy, who was so friendly and provided a lovely memorable experience :)

We were severed by Phoebe who made the experience amazing

I recently had a fantastic experience at a local establishment, and I just had to share my thoughts! The service was exceptional, thanks to Phoebe, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcome. Phoebe was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations that really enhanced my experience. She checked in on me regularly without being intrusive, ensuring that I had everything I needed. It's rare to find such dedicated service these days, and it truly made my visit memorable. I left feeling valued and appreciated, and I can't wait to return!

had such a lovely meal tonight, food was incredible! i’m usually worried about my allergy when going to restaurants but charlie was so so helpful and really put my mind at ease. the service was super quick and friendly, thanks to the lovely eloise, we will absolutely be returning!!

Fast and efficient service from Daisy

Chips needed a lil bit of something , but burger was good. Frickled and tata tots starter were great. The hill Billy lager is a bit sad - very dry. Server, Daisy was cordial.

Had a great time here and food was tasty. Phoebe was a great server!

Phoebe was attentive and helpful!

excellent service by phoebe, very helpful and served with a smile

Phoebe hosted with finesse and charm.

Food was fantastic, great atmosphere and Phoebe was very friendly and asset to the team. Would highly recommend the frickles!

Phoebe was the best waitress, food was ace, I am strong

Great service and patience for a large booking.

Brilliant meal and service, Phoebe was excellent!

Go when you’re hungry. You’ll need to be….. And Daisy looked after us like a peach

The food was lovely and the atmosphere. However the main event was the service, and we were served by Phoebe (if I remember correctly). She was just amazing in every way, looked so professional in her apron and hair tied back (lovely clean girl). Brought the food over always smiling. I was on a first date and she made the meal feel even more romantic!! When we thought we were full she suggested dessert, 10/10 dessert and wouldn’t have got it without her amazing upselling and knowledge of the menu. Will definitely go back and invite her to the wedding AHAA.

Daisy looked after us amazingly!

Lovely service by waitress daisy

Food was lovely. Daisy was great.

Sat upstairs with only 1 other table so no atmosphere but understandable as was busy downstairs. took 40 mins for mains to come after having a starter, had to get up and ask for cutlery for starters and mains and staff didnt come over to ask if we wanted more drinks/were ok/ had everything we needed. one burger was cold when brought out so we asked for a takeaway box for the whole meal. we were visibly disappointed but they didnt say anything. when paying we said about the long wait and was just told it was busy. no offer on how to make it better.

Went here as I’d seen pictures of the burgers online and they didn’t disappoint. Food was fresh and tasted amazing. I tried both the chicken and some of the beef burger my partner had and they were sublime. The chips had a great seasoning on them and the dips were only £1. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the music was at a suitable volume for a Friday lunch time. Definitely going to come back and try a different burger next time.

Kaylie was amazing. Excellent service. Enjoyed the food.

Food was great but unfortunately very poor service let it down. Staff didn't really seem to care, or make any effort to make up for (what I assume was) staff attendance issues. For example, a wait of 15mins at the door to be seated, even though we had booked and the table wasn't in use. We were warned it would be a 45min wait for food, and that would have been fine if our order had been taken.

1st time we've ever been was very impressed the food was lovely we will definitely come back

Food ok chips rock hard no cutlery or napkins had to get my own condiments

Good service, fast and the food was delicious.

Food was really good except the onion rings (far too large, greasy batter and hard onion). The service was really slow. It took an hour from when we sat to getting our food. We had two kids but no kids menus - not even offered. When we asked for them we were told there were none and to scan the QR code to access it online, which wasn't great as signal was poor inside. They didn't bring cutlery until we asked and we saw someone else complain they had no cutlery ten minutes after getting their food. Some people were standing, coats on, by their table waiting for someone to eventually take payment. While the food was good, it wasn't value for money.

Mind blowingly good food and great customer service

place was cold, one hour to get our burgers, had reservation got awful table in the entrance with the cold. and food was meh

This is basically an up-market burger bar. The burger I had was excellent, service was good and the restaurant was very busy. It was a cold night and every time the entrance/exit door was opened a cold draught was felt if you were sat near the door (which we were). Other than that, a very pleasant eating experience. P.S. Alchohol drinks were available.

Unfortunately, it fake advertising today in Nottingham Fat Hippo my burger didn't come with pork ribs. I complained and they said that pork ribs come with the burger. I'm very upset that they thought I looked like a slobber. I don't recommend it. The manager is a liar and I paid the normal price... fake marketing.

Amazing especially the milkshakes!!!!!!

Lovely food and staff. Meal came very quickly and the lunch deal is great value. Not the first time coming and definitely won’t be the last!

First time here, not usually a burger person, but theirs are beautiful lovely meat, great choices for meat or chicken burgers, nice cocktails. Definately go again.

Visited Fat Hippo at Nottingham last night for my son’s 19th birthday. Staff were great and quick, food was delicious and didn’t wait long for it. Really enjoyed it. Would recommend.

Very good place. Good food and very good burgers, not a huge menue , but that's a good thing because what they do , they do it well. Drinks slightly prices. Good service. Would reccommend a visit if you want a decent burger. Not the cheapest , but you get what you pay for and it is worth it

10/10 service, 10/10 food, 11/10 milkshakes! Will definitely be returning! Seriously, give the banana shake a try - you will not be disappointed

Went here for an early dinner and it was fine. the vegan burger was a little chewy and the onion rings on burgers we're quite greasy, but it was an enjoyable meal with fast service and generally tasty food.

nice place to eat on an afternoon

service was awful, about 4-5 members of staff stood around doing nothing most of the time, food took ages to arrive, they forgot one of our sides and still charged us for it, the chicken burger was… naassssty… bun was stale, burger itself was oily, chicken thigh was obviously a cheap cut of thigh meat, mine had multiple bits of string and bony bits. chips were cold hard and stale. soft drinks were tasteless/syrup needed changing… if you’re going to charge the prices you do, make sure the quality of food is up to standard.. sure if you want to take a great pic of your burger for instagram it’s perfect.. otherwise avoid !!! (from someone who works in hospitality) xx

Atmosphere was very chilled, food was delicious especially the Born Slippy burger. Really stood out above everything. Happy with the service, all in all a very good experience

AVOID! We visited restaurant on New Year’s Eve, get an unprepared table without any cutlery or napkins. We placed an order and have been waiting for so long only to get a water after 30 minutes. Everyone around us was getting their orders but no one was really bothers about us. After 40 minutes or wait I ask what is going on with our order only to get told that we can place it now and be first in line. Horrible experience very poor customer service. Do not recommend at least you want to waste your time there.

Daisy was amazing and so friendly
