What User likes about Hungry Hippo:
the best time of my life with the kumpels. everything perfectly cooked and seasoned well. jd mix during the basting in the day cloud. the fingers of the sodium that draws together between thin sample, smile. I can't ask. thanks tuatapere. View all feedback.

What oscar goodlet doesn't like about Hungry Hippo:
I had the worst hot chips I've had in years—dry and completely lacking in seasoning, despite requesting chicken salt. The steak burger was just a thin piece of schnitzel topped with an overcooked egg. At $16.50, it felt like a total rip-off. I won't be coming back.

The combination of shoe string fries and blue cod is the best! The fish is fresh and lightly battered. Delicious!

Beautiful burger. hoki a little greasy, but as a filet does not come a 'shaped' piece. chips were not soggy

I paid $17.50 for two small pieces of cod and chips. The chips were decent, though I suppose you can only expect frozen fries that are quickly fried. Unfortunat...

Sorry just not worth 17.50. Felt a bit ripped off. The cod pieces were tiny, 2 x small nugget size. The photo angle makes them look the berson St. I do try. Cof...

The chips were cooked perfectly, and the blue cod was incredibly tender; however, the batter was a bit greasy. The whitebait fritter was enjoyable, though a few...
