"They have had great vegan burgers for quite some time, but they also have good vegan sides now. We love the vegan dirty fries with vegan cheese sauce and vegan bacon. I love that the vegan options are just as inventive and indulgent as the non-vegan options and they are about the same price too. A great place to eat with non-vegans, would recommend going when very hungry though as it is extremely filling. Definitely not for those who don't like greasy/deep fried food though as pretty much everything seems to be deep fried."

Plenty of vegan options served here, great if you want a dirty bit of junk food!

Items were clearly marked as vegan options available, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Food was absolutely amazing! I haven't been vegan long, but I've missed food like that!

great place to go when it comes to non-vegans, load the food options for everyone. several times before, the Veganuary specialties, which should apparently remain on the menu, enjoyed the kerl that served us.

large portioning, amazing burger, Busselling restaurant. we had the notorious wfc 2.0 and the oprah sense-free and I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite from them! the waitress also asked us if we were vegan when we ordered.

The vegan burger section had five choices and there was a special on too. Lots of vegan starters to choose from too. There was a vegan beef, chicken or pulled pork option. The burger I got was delicious and came with onion rings and cheese. Really nice food.

I was a couple times too fat hippo and to different places that eat is incredible. but there were a few occasions that we were served the non-vegan version of objects. So only double check when they bring her food. the müllbräuen are wonderful, and I get in the rule the notorious wfc I never finish!

We decided to visit Fat Hippo last night. Good I prebooked a table as it was very busy. The food was amazing. I chose the vegan fried pickles as a starter and they came with vegan mayo and a spicy sauce on the side. As a main I went for the Notorious VFC 2.0 and Dirty Vegan Fries on the side . Plenty of food, plenty of vegan options. Definitely coming back. Updated from previous review on 2021-08-29

Really tasty fries and burger served in an enamel dish with waxy paper, and excellent service from the staff. As always, a burger is messy to eat but there is cutlery on the table. Would definitely come back. Fries had delicious topping and plenty of salt. Afterwards I felt so full, like a boa constrictor, I won’t have to eat again for another 6 months (yeah, right). Nice 80s music playing Updated from previous review on 2021-07-31

there were many vegan options on the menu for beginners, net and sides. most appetizers and sides were veganized versions of non-vegan food. the food that came out, although quite tasty, were huge portions. most people in our party struggled to finish and because it was all deep fried, it was not a good type of full. I had vegan fricken (which I later realized were not the vegan version that they have brought out.) yummy, but extremely oily. I also had the harlem fake burger who was great. friends on the side.

"started really well and went to the counter and ordered a cream with bananas and nutella and especially gave no earthberries I also asked after a san pelegríno still water as this was on the menu. I was the first person to order and the last to eat at the end. I brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water I just had £2 for what I would like to have seen? we will, when asked for san pelligrino to say water that they do not in. Finally my crepe and I take a bite and understand that it is earthly on the whole species and wise by which I am allergic. one of my family members takes it back and says that I have asked for bananas, there is no earthly reason why I cannot eat it and did not want it on my crepe. then 5 minutes later another crêpe comes out, who was my bite crêpe, that someone had put the earthy and banan in the bananas. disgusting ... not sure whether this was a mistake or just stingy either as it did not. it is then returned because there is no way I eat, and it is explained again, there is a reason that I can not eat strawberries, to which then one of the owners passes to serve the right crepe and apology. I really hope that today a lection has been learned because cross-contamination is not a sweat. please be careful when they eat there. I didn't get any refunds offered, but then they were ready to serve me a bite crawl, so it didn't surprise me so much."
