The best restaurants serving American food in Birmingham West Midlands

Visited the Fat Hippo in Birmingham with my 32 year old daughter on a Thursday evening and the place was very busy. My daughter had organised it prior to us visiting the Symphony hall. Table was booked for 6pm ( you need to book!) and although we were a few minutes late due to the train we were shown promptly to our table. Staff were friendly and efficient. Restaurant was clean and well presented in a sort of shabby chic style. We both had the American burger, I had skinny fries and my daughter had the dirty fries with a side of deep fried gherkins and a couple of Pepsi Max. After a short wait, our food arrived and it was fabulous, burgers were quality, juicy and freshly cooked, fries were crispy and hot. The burger came on a fresh brioche bun with 2 patties, pickles, cheese, mustard and ketchup and I would not have changed anything, it was delicious. At roughly £20 a head it isn’t cheap, but quality does not come cheap. Toilets were spotless which was another bonus as I think there is nothing worse than eating your meal and then finding filthy toilets.. it makes you wonder about what you can’t see. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended

Delivery guy was rude and obnoxious, and delivery was extremely late so the food was cold.

19th of march 2025 timing 18:00 good food but reception services was wired and takeaway is on priority,eat in is late food and i eat my meal in chilling cold inside no heaters on

He estado visitando durante algunos años y siempre lo he disfrutado mucho, ¡la tostada francesa solía ser un regalo de fin de semana! Sin embargo, recientemente ha perdido su ambiente hogareño y, en cambio, se siente como un café que intenta ser un bar, no el ambiente más agradable, las bebidas estaban bien. . . ¡nada especial! Desafortunadamente, queríamos comida, pero la cocina estaba cerrada, sin embargo, nos ofrecieron una selección de pasteles. En general, no fue una gran experiencia, solía ser muy hogareña y familiar, sin embargo, ahora se sentía como una combinación sin carácter o atmósfera real.

Rubbish food , rubbish service , everything backwards in this place, also heard the owners are abit gay.Defo won’t be going there.

Closed. Don’t trust the google maps opening times.

Gran recepción amable a la llegada. Aconsejé que una mesa de 20 en breve, que era fabuloso, ya que nos sirvieron rápidamente con comida fantástica, servido caliente y muy bien presentado y nos dieron la opción de sentarse en una parte más tranquila del restaurante. Sin duda recomiendo este lugar y volveremos a visitar pronto.

Great quality food and service, portions were just right.

Great taste, fries 🍟 Cajun n masala best.

Wouldn't go here again got an upset stomach. Fried chicken isn't nice. Chicken didn't seem fresh. Never again better options down cov road at better prices

Filip was great! Very efficient, very chatty and had great customer service.

Cold and shocking food staff not good and over all probably the worst place I’ve eaten in over the last 10 years just not a place I would return too

Traté de reservar mesa para el almuerzo en dos ocasiones, pero la voz automatizada me dijo que nada estaba disponible! ¿Por qué anuncian menús para el almuerzo? ¿Por qué es imposible hablar con un ser humano en estos días? ¡Completa pérdida de tiempo y energía!

Great venue which has a lot to offer. Live music every Friday & Saturday evening. Midweek Lunch Time offers and their loyalty club is very rewarding. Food is always amazing and the service from Craig and his team is always very welcoming and they always go the extra mile to look after their customers.

Pedimos 3 postres, un café y un té y se negaron a darle agua del grifo a uno de mis amigos, diciendo que no sirven agua del grifo. Bastante pobre servicio al cliente viendo cuánto gastamos allí.
