The Clapham Junction venue first welcomed customers in late 2024 – its 20th opening in five years.
The chain, which one blogger previously said “beats McDonald’s and KFC,” sells everything from burgers to fries.
Customers can also get their hands on a hot chicken sandwich, tater tots and stroopwafel shakes based on the classic Dutch sweet treat.
The new London branch has garnered dozens of glowing reviews on Google since its launch, with one labeling it “absolutely delicious”.
Another said: “The signature burger is a great hit and tastes very fresh. I can’t wait to go back!”
A third said: “Best burgers we’ve had. Absolutely amazing.”
The Sun asked Fat Phill’s if it plans to open more restaurants across the UK and we’ll update this story when we hear back.
The chain opened its first branch in the Dutch capital Amsterdam in 2019, quickly expanding to 19 locations across the Netherlands.
Restaurants were opened in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Utrecht.
The fast food chain describes itself as an “urban, cool, young” chain with an American theme that combines culture and music.
