Fat Hippo sits on Bold Street in the heart of Liverpool, a lively area known for its diverse dining options. This burger-focused restaurant is part of a small group with locations across the UK, but it brings its own distinct energy to this central spot.
The menu revolves around indulgent burgers, with a mix of beef, chicken, and plant-based patties. Expect bold flavour combinations and generous toppings, with options ranging from classic builds to more adventurous creations. Start with options such as waffle fries topped with bacon bits, cheese balls with a hot honey buffalo sauce and ranch, or fried pickles served with Fat Hippo sauce.
When it comes to the burgers, guests can opt for the likes of the 'Hangover III' a chicken burger with smoked bacon, pickles, and BBQ sauce, or the 'Fat Hippo' which includes a double beef patty, smoked bacon, chorizo and onion rings. Sides include loaded fries and other comfort food staples, and there’s also a dedicated kids' menu for younger diners. The restaurant offers a range of drinks, including milkshakes, cocktails, and craft beers, to complement the hearty food.
The space is designed for casual dining, with a focus on accommodating groups as well as solo diners or pairs. The layout and format make it suitable for a quick bite, putting the emphasis on bold flavours, with a relaxed vibe that prioritises comfort and ease.
Takeaway is available for those who prefer to enjoy Fat Hippo’s burgers at home. The restaurant also caters to dietary preferences, with vegan and gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu.
