I was thinking, is it grammatically correct to say, "I feel like such a fool"?
In my opinion it can be either "I feel like a fool" or "I feel such a fool".

There appears to be a difference in usage between British vs. American English for this sense of feel. British English uses "feel such a" and American English (the dialect I speak) uses "feel like such a". And both dialects use "feel like a".
This is backed up by the data I found using the British National Corpus (BNC) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA):
