Fat Hippo Birmingham

Dirty burgers done right on Bennetts Hill

Fat Hippo Birmingham, on Bennetts Hill in the heart of the city centre, is a burger specialist with a cult following — a short walk from New Street Station and the Bullring. The focus is simple: properly indulgent, well-built burgers in a relaxed, friendly setting, with a menu that also looks after vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free diners and a great-value kids’ option.

What to order

The signature beef burgers and boneless buttermilk chicken patties are the stars. Try the Higson — beef, Swiss cheese, mushrooms, Cajun onion strings and truffle mayo, with a free side — or the Poppa, with American cheese, chorizo, an onion ring and Fat Hippo sauce. The Little Caesar swaps in buttermilk chicken tenders with creamy Caesar, bacon and Parmesan, while the Born Slippy piles a double patty with braised pork rib meat, jalapeños and hot honey for the seriously hungry.

Who it’s for

This is a go-to for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends or a family meal — generous portions, fair prices and a friendly welcome make it easy. With vegan and gluten-free choices, there’s something for most diets.
