The burger was charred. Burnt taste was not good. Also this gigantic inch and half slice of unripe tomato.

I've heard about this place but never tried it until a few days ago.I enjoy the large selection that they have but the meat patty was a bit bland. These burgers and the sides are large portions.I would probably try this place again.

First time we came it was amazing and everything was perfect. Today not so much. I would ask for manager but the girl already told me there's not one here today. I ordered the egg burger and it was not good. The egg was way over cooked and it definitely was not the way I would've liked. The cheese "sauce" is bland and fell way short. The last burger I got was perfect but this one I'll definitely avoid in the future.

Let me start by saying I LOVE burgers!!! I consider myself a burger aficionado as you see in all my previous YELP postings. I am in this part of town probably once a month and I try to visit different restaurants when I can. I found Hippo Burgers on YELP and was very excited to visit. I mean Angus beef burgers!!! How can you go wrong?? Well they did. Reading other posts that state that these are great tasty burgers compared to McDonald's says it all. A comparison is a very low bar. My order was the combo platter which included fries and a drink. My expectation is for a burger to be juicy to the level of it being runny and sometimes messy. I found this burger to be overdone and not one drop of juiciness. NOT ONE DROP!! I ordered it with bacon and jalapenos. The burger had no flavor it was meh. Not even the Jalapenos, no heat at all. The cool part is that they had 2 different ketchups: normal and a Jalapeno one. The Jalapeno ketchup was tasty. Plenty of bacon. The fries were hot and crispy but some were simply blacken chips. The restaurant was super clean. They had a man immediately wipe down the tables once you were finish. I was there at lunch time, 12:30?, on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty empty. 1 table was filled fellow workers and maybe 2 others that had solo clients. To me not a good sign especially when the next door restaurants were full and a constant flow of customers. The price was quite low! The staff were very friendly but I walked very disappointed.

Great burgers, these guys really made a really good burger. Hand made patties cooked just right. Cajun fries were good and my wife loved the onion rings.

The first time here and the burgers were amazing! Worth the price. We got all the flavors of fries. They weren't as crispy as I would have liked, but the flavor was spot on. We also got the fried pickles with ranch, 4 outta 5. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was quite somber for an animal named place. But it was clean and easy to navigate.

Burger is decent. If you want a decent grilled burger, this is ideal. Cajun fries were unimpressive. My fiance got garlic fries and they literally had minced garlic on it ?. Very wet, very garlicky. Wings were not good. Very fatty. Probably won't go back but at least I tried it.
Delicious food and nice atmosphere. They don't have that many tables to dine
