Thurman Burger Rocks! – If you can get past the rude servers...the food makes it all worth while! Killer onion rings, wings and the namesake...Thurman Burger. You must get the thurman burger at least once. Take a friend or two; it can feed a small army. I've had about a dozen or so and not once has the meat been bland. You can't go wrong here for good eats. The management needs to improve the service...THE SERVERS ARE RUDE!!!
One of the most beloved nightspots in the German Village area serves some of the tastiest burgers in town. – The Scene Space is tight and the decor is a bizarre array of bumper stickers, signs, pictures and other random things stuck on the walls behind the bar and along the cafe's perimeter. No matter how many visits you make, you'll always find something new to look at. Big tables allow groups of friends to sit together easily, but there's almost always a wait for a table on weekends. The Food The fare is reasonably priced,... read more
Best Hamburger – You haven't visited Columbus, OH unless you've visited Thurmans Cafe. The food is outstanding. The place is small and usually crowded so don't go if you're in a hurry; but believe me the wait is worth it. I often order and go pick it up, No Wait, No worry about parking. They have a lot of cool things on the wall to look at and the servers are very nice, often in a hurry because they're busy but very nice. GREAT PLACE TO EAT!
French fries tasty, hamburger bland – I've lived in Columbus for a year now and am constantly amazed at what the locals consider to be good food. If you've ever cooked a burger on the George Foreman grill, you know what that bland tasteless hung of burger is like when its done. Tasting the burger at Thurman's last night reminded me of that. No flavor at all. Also got an order of onion rings that tasted fishy. Only edible item was the french fries and I have to say, they were great. Otherwise, horrible food and service.
On A Mission: Eat the Biggest Burger In Town – I recently visited Thurman's before a Blue Jacket's home game to try and impress my date with the amount of red meat I could eat, true Columbus style. I gave an honest effort only finishing half of my delicious Blue Cheeseburger. He showed me up and made the whole Thurman Burger disappear, which is quite a feat! Here's a tip, outsmart the waitlist and belly up to the bar- you'll get your beers quicker. No plasmas, but at the bar you are close enough to see the score without it b... read more
Nap time – I have lived in Columbus for 14 years and had my first experience with Thurman's today. What a burger. Fries were good too. It is a small place but we only had to wait about 15 minutes at 12:30 p.m. and the service was average to above. The short wait was certainly worth it once the burger came to the table. An hour and a half later... I need a nap!
User review by brit1 – We would definitely go more often if there wasn't such a wait. Even at 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon we were waiting for nearly 40 mins. Parking is also a pain. We have experienced extremely good service and also unbelievably bad. There is one guy in particular who clearly does not give a rat's rear. That said, the burgers are legendary - and rightly so. Enormous, flavorsome, juicy. What more could you want?! Try the deep-fried pickles too!
BIGGEST BURGER I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! – Thurmans is a Great Place to go before a game, after a game, or when there isn't a game. The Burgers are big ( you definately need 2 hands and a very large mouth to eat them) You can dress comfortably and watch a game on TV...and everyone there is Friendly! I suggest you go early if there is a game in town, it does get packed.
Mushroom Burgers are wonderful!!!!! – The place is great! Food is wonderful and well priced! The radio isn't blasting in your ears as you talk and the waitress was wonderful. The mushroom burger was cooked just right. I recommend this place anytime!
