Fat Hippo Jesmond

Incredible burgers, super friendly staff, and an all-round great vibe. Only downside? It was a bit warm inside—but hey, maybe that’s just the grill working overtime. Would 100% meat again!

Had a lovely time at Fat Hippo Jesmond today. It was delicious with excellent service. Fat Hippo always consistently deliver! Thank you

Bought 3 menu's from here tonight and for the price of the food I thought it’s going to be something really nice but the burger tastes burnt and very dry . So disappointed I was actually looking forward to eating something nice but will definitely have to go somewhere else next time

I've tried Fat Hippo many times but this was my first visit to the Jesmond spot. It's quite small but still as cosy as the other Fat Hippo places. This time I tried the burger with the chorizo and it was incredible and my partner had a limited edition Kraken burger which was also delicious! Just like their other places it's dog friendly which we love and service was perfect.

Who doesn't love a good burger! Great flavour packed into a HUGE burger. I went with the great white buffalo and it was so good. When I say these are huge, they are mammoth!! Defo need to find a way of dislocating my jaw to fit the bites! Great value for money Service was amazing, our server Phoebe was lovely. Super friendly and helpful

I guess I am just getting old, but I thought that the price was a little high, the burgers were good, but the patties were a little lacking in seasoning, over all I was a good meal and by the way the chips were very good! The service was good but the heating could have done with being turned up a notch or two. But over all I would return and enjoy their very nice burgers 🙂

We made an impromptu visit after not eating from fat hippo for a long time. The service was great, it was fairly busy for dine in and deliveries when we arrived but the staff dealt with everything really well. Food was good and the portions were decent value for what we paid.

Great food very good value for money. Love the cosy vibe of the restaurant. Dan the server was really friendly!

We ordered for delivery and food was good. Bf and I shared the double patty burger that had mushrooms, grilled cheese and onion because this thing is pretty darn huge. My son ordered the five lies (what's the lie? Is it not fake meat? lol) and we got dirty waffle fries for our meals. Good stuff. Lotsa greasy American-like food.

Food is always nice here, I try and go when the students are away and it's easier to get a table. My partner loves the choice of beer/cider.

Popped in here when in Jesmond over Christmas, having eaten at the newer City centre outlet earlier in the year. Service was disappointing. Staff seemed disengaged and more interested in chatting or eating there own meals (or listening to our conversation). Toilets were, to quote, grim! Drink selection wasn't that great either. Food though is why you go here and it was awesome. Flavoursome and generally delicious! Would definitely recommend for a quick bite inbetween places. Good value for money.

Yummmmm...beer and burgers. Such a fun place to go! My friend and I came here for dinner and had a great meal. The atmosphere is really nice - sort of casual-elegant with wooden furniture and dim light from candles. Looks quite a lot sexier than you'd expect from a burger joint, but that adds to the appeal. They've got bottles of Blue Moon, which is very exciting for me, and they pair deliciously with all the burgers. We shared two burgers between us - I got the Stinky Pete (blue cheese, caramelized onions, jalapeños) and she got the classic American that comes with cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. The Stinky Pete, obviously, was the clear favorite - I mean just look at those ingredients! I've had burgers before with wonderful-sounding toppings but yet somehow when you have the burger, the meat flavor overpowers and you can't taste all the good stuff. This burger did not have that problem - it had all the sweet-savory-spicy pungency that you'd expect from blue cheese, caramelized onions, and hot peppers! Both came pink in the middle, and were juicy and indulgent. They both came with piping hot and crispy handcut fries, which I pigged out on shamefully. Burgers run about £8-10 which is a pretty good deal for something so fantastic and filling! I prefer this location to the Fat Hippo Underground, as here you've got actual windows and aren't basically just eating in a basement. The Underground feels like a dive bar, but this place has a much more enjoyable vibe. Great stuff!

Amazing burgers, chilled atmosphere with excellent service. My favourite spot in Jesmond.
