Good Burgers – The place only has about 10 tables, very cozy, very unique. There's tons of crazy stuff all over the walls that kept us entertained. The pretzel bits and pizza rolls were AMAZING. Have to get pretzel bits! The burgers were huge and good, but not as amazing as I was hoping. After reading all the reviews here I expected something out of this world, but was a little disappointed. Service was a little slow, but there wasn't a wait.

The absolute BEST burgers in the state of Ohio! There is nothing on the menu worth skipping over...and the value is great. I cant say enough about the place. After dining at Thurmans for 10yrs they remain way ahead of the pack

World Famous Burgers & Fries! – My 3 seconds of fame came while I was eating lunch at Thurman's and the Food Network was filming an episode there. The reviews are all true - not a first date place - not pretentious in any way - 2 fisted burgers - the BEST fries anywhere. My biggest decision is do I get the burger or wings with my fries? Sometimes I just get them all! You'll need a doggie bag if you do this though! The video game was Galaxia and Ms. Pac Man (I think) I love Galaxia, so this keeps me busy while we wait for a s... read more

Big Burgers. – Thurman's is usually busy on the weekends (not during the week) and the wait can be long, but the burgers are delicious, with a large girth.

Best burger I've ever had – This place is awesome. Great atmosphere and great food. The burgers are the best and the biggest I've ever had. The dining area is small and the wait can be long but it's well worth it.

Thurman's Is Too Die For!!! – First off, I'm from Jacksonville Beach, FL and I'd crawl on my hands and knees for a Thurman burger!!! I've been going to Columbus once a year for the last 10yrs. and Thurman's is must stop on my list. The Thurman burger is the most monsterous thing I have ever seen, with everything except the kitchen sink on it, it is insane!!! It takes 2 hands to eat and have a friend feed you fries because once you put it down you'll never get it off the plate again. Don't eat it like a "'girly man" with a kn... read more

Best burger... ever. – The wait isn't fun. Try to plan this one out and you'll still wait an hour. However, there's a sweet pinball machine to waste your time. Oh, there's also the burgers... quick and simple, they're phenomenal. I just found the place a month ago and have been there three times. If you're too trendy for a burger, go somewhere else... The Rossi would love your money and your drama. But if you appreciate a fantastic burger and fresh-cut fries, YOU HAVE TO TRY THURMANS. I've been on this earth for 30 years, bu... read more

Best Burger in the city! – I have tried burgers from all over the city, and other cities like Chicago and SF and you will be hard pressed to find any that can match the Thurman Cafe! The burgers are huge, the fries are flavorful and crisp, the atmosphere unique. I highly recommend Thurmans for lunch, dinner too but only if you have time to wait. This place is a hole in the wall and you will have to wait for a table at dinner time. If you want to be seated immedietly, go to one of the numerous chain restaurants in town and ha... read more
