Reviews for Hippo's Eatery in Fenton, MI
Ordered Pizza and chicken tender combo great price and are the best tasting I've had. you can tell the food is made to order... not pre made Read more
Let me just start by saying THIS is the kind of place that us Michiganders have been needing! Hippo's has the kind of menu, that... implores you to keep coming back to try it all (and I've only visited on this one occasion!). I had the pleasure of meeting &talking with the owner John, during my visit, and learned more about this establishment and his passion. John is a formermilitary service member (and for that alone I am grateful), and now He puts his heart & soul into the food that he's craftedhere. The centerpiece at Hippo's (to me), are their ribs. Let me tell you, one of favorite things of all time are ribs!However... Finding a place near me that has GOO-OOOD ribs, is near impossible... Until now. John's ribs are what I'm TALKINabout! Fall off the bone, smokey flavor goodness, barbeque sauce that will blow your ever loving mind, and JUICY (not dry) ribs.I'm about 20 minutes away from Hippo's, and I ain't even mad. I'll drive it! The wedge fries here are reminiscent ofRally's/checker's fries except they're BETTER (in my humble opinion), nice crispy outside, seasoned perfectly, and light andfluffy inside! I also sampled the chicken fingers. Perfectly battered, and WOW was it flavorful and not overcooked! The chickenthat Hippo's uses is not frozen, and it's also non hormone/free range local chicken. And let me tell you, it is game changing.Hippo's also makes most of their dips in house, one of my personal favs is the "old man sauce". From that to their ranch, I wasin chicken finger dipping heaven! If you're passing by, shopping in the area, or live locally, you better get yourself in here,and get some of this deliciously crafted food. We need more proud business owners like John, to remind us just how good food canbe, when it's made with passion! Read more
Ordered chicken parm calzone, it wasn?t on the menu but they were able to make it; inedible, chicken has zero flavor, drowned in... garlic sauce, first time trying hippos; cashier was super nice and friendly Read more
Excellent food, love the pizza, crust is amazing! I have tried almost everything on menu fresh ingredients with a different... touch, great calzone, flats, cole slaw and backed beans, Best Chicken Tenders in the area. Read more
This place is great! It was one of the best calzones I've had in a long time. The bread and mac and cheese bites are also great,... but I let other people in my party try a piece of the calzone and they thought it was great as well. Available for dine in ortake out. If you dine in, you order at the counter then are served. Read more
Three clerks were so helpful. We kept going back for more and more. Everyone in our party thought it was the best pizza. I liked... that the toppings went all the way to the edge. I like the flavored crust. The children loved the ice cream and the chalk board.It was a nice informal gathering with table big enough for eight of us. Family said they would definitely return to hippos. Read more
I took my friends from Kentucky and Texas to lunch at Hippo?s Eatery because of the high reviews and we were not disappointed. ... The owner offered us free coffee and explained the menu.

You definitely get five stars ?? from me! Read more
Chicken strips were juicy and seasoning was spot on. Dips were good. Following week had the pizza, had a thin crust and regular... both cooked perfectly. Sauce is spot on. Little sweet but great flavor. My new pizza spot going forward Read more
