If it happens you're in Columbus therman cafe is the place to be! Mouthwatering burgers , friendly staff and the best part of it is the Dollar Bills all around the place! Got the chance to do one!

Jeremy Myers

Best burger in Columbus . If you want quality and want to be full for the next week, get the Thurman Burger or Thurmanator.

Avery Jenkins

Get the Thurmanator Burger !!! It's the Best Burger around and it's piled high to the Sky. Its by far one of the biggest burgers out there and its an incredible accomplishment if you finish it. Eat up!

Bentley Cordel

The public transportation directly to the restaurant can be limited and parking can be chaotic. Try Lyft. First ride FREE* We are in the area. Use promo code #NOlyNOft for your free ride up $25.

Stop by the rustic Thurman Café , serving over-the-top burger masterpieces dripping with egg yolk and melted cheese . Read more

Nuno Cristino

The burgers were pretty good. Although the first one was a bit overlooked. Service however it’s very friendly . Have to admit, I’ve expected more for one of the best burger places in Columbus

Patrick Lester

The burgers are legendary, but resist the temptation to come here with ALL of your friends. The waits can be insane for large groups. If you keep your group small you might snag a spot at the bar .

Justin Ellis

Burger with egg was great. Stopped here before the Blue Jackets game and I will be back.

Aaron Tomich

The wait to be seated is well worth your time! The variety of burgers is absolutely incredible, and the quality is the best in the city .

Hamid Alan9ary

A good option for burger ???? It’s thick and juicy how it should a burger should be ????

jiresell

Delicious burgers and fries ! Great beer selection too. To avoid a wait, go later in the evening on a weeknight.

Kate Rhoades

The whole building was constructed primarily with hamburger meat. Eat the whole thing for a chance to win a live baby dolphin. Served with slaw and a drink.

Jon Adams

This is absolutely the BEST burger I have ever had, this coming from a burger aficionado and connoisseur. Try the Blazin Burger if you like some spice.

Sharon Wise

One of the best hamburgers I've ever waited an hour for...well worth the comfortable wait!! Small place...Big taste!!!

Michelle Brown

Order the Johnny Burger and make sure you get the shot of tequila !!!!

Khalid Alabdulghfour

Try the A1 Burger : 3/4 pound burger with fried & raw onions , mushrooms , lettuce, & cheese in a bun . AWESOME!

Stacy Bo Bacy

The burger was ridiculously big; I couldn’t comfortably fit it in my mouth. Thai-flavored chicken wings are highly recommended.

Mike Smith

Try not to eat for a day before you come to Thurman's such a huge burger . I suggest the Macedonian

Berlin & Co. Jersey

Cheeseburger deluxe good reminded me of an old school homemade burger . Decor was old, lighting was dark.  Not kids Friendly . Return: Maybe Food/Quality: 7.5  Staff/Service: 7 Decor: 5

Wes Crow

What a sleeper. You'd have no idea what great food this place has if someone's didn't tell you. A delicious German Village secret.

Nicole Kirch

Best burger place in Ohio, hands down. Was shown on the travel channel 's "Man vs. Food " for their huge Thurminator burger . Come prepared to wait about an hour + for a table and have the burger of yo

This place has 18 types of burgers , but one isn't on the menu: a burger created for the Arnold Schwarzenegger Bodybuilding Competition: the Thurmanator. --Adam Richman, Man v Food Nation

Cherie Hitchcock Burnett

They have the BEST burgers I have ever had. We were there on vacation, My husband says that I'm a Thurman snob now because I don't want any other burgers but we live in KS : (

mike mcmillon

If you go to the Thurman cafe & there's only 2 of you, your best bet is to get a beer at the bar & wait in line for a bar seat 15min vs. 1hr

Patrick Yancy

Just do yourself a favor and get the sloppy fries . Whatever else you order will be awesome too.

Cody Ingle

Long wait but well worth it. Food comes back and friendly service .

Craig Eddy

Great burgers , awesome service, fun and festive atmosphere

Logan Sandoval

The Thurman burger...best burger ever, and I've been around. Well worth any wait...oh and there WILL be a wait

Will Scholl

The Jason Burger - fried egg , bacon , salami , mozzarella , cole slaw , and fries . Best burger I've ever had.

Jessica W

9 times out of 10, the service isn't friendly and the wait is atrocious... But once that glorious burger touches your tongue , you forget the rest!

This German Village café has brought the Travel Channel to town for the Thurmanator twice to film episodes of “Man vs. Food ” and “101 Tastiest Places to Chow Down”

The Thurman Burger is the tastiest burger I've ever had. Some of the best beef I've ever tasted.

J Emm

The wait time around lunch is crazy long, but you can order your food to go and the wait time isn't as long. Amazing mushroom burger !

Jordan G

No preparation can get you ready for Thurman's. Make sure you have room in your fridge after this one.

Safelite AutoGlass

Best burgers in town ! For the ultimate challenge, get the Thurman Burger . - Suggested tip from Jennifer K., Associate

Legendary, epic, historic, important and greasy. Life. Soul. Immortal.

Ty Habegger

Thurman burger and handcuffs fries

Steven Flynn

Take on the Thurmantor !! Awesome Staff

Dan Miller

Jonnie burger makes the wait well worth it. No vegetarian options though,mainly because vegetarians are dumb and this place is awesome.

Patrick Mccolgan

The biggest burger you will ever eat, hands down! Roast Beef Stack is my favorite

Kirk Winters

The dining room is small, so there is sometimes a wait.
