    Great service. Great food. Only complaint is that it was a bit cold but to be fair it was quite early and very cold outside. Definitely going again

    We ate here for our anniversary dinner and it was amazing! My partner had the Harissa Butter Chicken Burger and I had the Rump Steak. Both were cooked perfectly. We also shared an amazing Sticky Toffee Pudding. The staff were all lovely, we will definitely be back!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the Badger Monday Deal, what great value for money! £14 for a Burger AND a pint of San Miguel, can’t go wrong! I had the Chicken Burger & my friend had the Veggie Bean & Sweet Potato Burger - both AMAZING. Excellent service & ambience too, we love the little Dining Room area at the back. Will definitely return.
    The Fat Badger YorkResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for your review Fiona, We are so glad that you love our Badger Monday deal just as much as we do. The dining room definitely does provide the perfect setting for a cold pint of San Miguel paired with any of our delicious burgers. The value for money on this deal is not one to miss! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Chees, Fat Badger

    Very good service and friendly staff warm and welcoming , we took friends who had travelled from Norfolk , Food was average, with a fair selection for meat eaters , we are vegetarian with a limited choice we choose burger , this served just warm and skinny fries , burger was sloppy but tasty. Beer choice good and well kept Great atmosphere
    The Fat Badger YorkResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you for your review Andrew, It is always a pleasure to hear that our staff made your visit extra special for yourself and your guests and that our beer choice and atmosphere were to your liking. It is a shame that you found our menu to be limited for vegetarian diners and hope you consider visiting again to try another of our excellent veggie-friendly dishes; the Aubergine Tagine is definitely a Badger favourite! Cheers, Fat Badger
