Delicious food! I got the Thurmanator (and finished it, amazingly). It did not disappoint! In addition to being ridiculously large, it’s a very good burger! It’s not just a huge pile of things for show. All the different flavors really worked for me. The hamburger patties were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The fries were good too! I’ll definitely be back!

5 star all the way. The portions are big enough to share, which I did with the pepper jack burger, fries and cheese curds. They truly make magic here. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town!

If you’re looking for a burger that will blow your mind, look no further than The Thurman Cafe. I recently visited this iconic Columbus spot and was absolutely blown away by their signature Thurman burger. This behemoth of a burger features one 12-ounce patty. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re up for the challenge, it’s a truly unforgettable experience.

This was our first time eating at Thurman’s Café and we really enjoyed it! The place smelled great, the rest rooms were extremely clean and the burgers were truly amazing! My husband and daughter enjoyed them more than I did since I’m not a huge burger person but the food was good nonetheless!! Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful!

This is definitely a gem for your city! It’s one of the best “hole in the wall” joints I’ve been to in a while! THE BURGERS ARE HUGE, and so are the portions! The price wasn’t bad either for 7 of us. Our bill was roughly $100, and some change! We had several different burgers, a hot dog, wings, fries that had garlic and Buffalo sauce on them, angry orchards, sodas, milk, and sooo much more! Definitely go and explore this place you wont be disappointed…

Stumbled upon this place and so glad we did. This place has been opened since 1942 and it’s on its 4th generation of family running it. Our waitress was fun and spunky & All the staff worked together and seemed to enjoy one another. Great music was playing, lots of old memorabilia to look at and the burgers are out of this world! Come hungry because these 12oz burgers are no joke. Lots of variations of burgers that are hard to choose from, but they also offer many other options as well as housemade coney sauce. Full bar is also available.

If you like huge burgers, you’d love him. If you like flavor, this won’t be the place for you. All the toppings hide the fact the beef is not seasoned well. But eating a burger the size of your head is definitely an experience

Great food at a great price. The burgers are enormous. Plus, we got onion rings and they were delicious. My only knock on the place is it needs to be bigger. Wait times are quite long.

Amazing experience! The burgers put Red Robin to shame! Only issue is the chairs aint that comfortable and the wait is long but worth it ! Our waiter was an older man and he was one of the best waiters we’ve had and made it truely a great experience ! Best house made ranch! I got the 3 cheese burger add bacon, fried cheese sticks, and bacon cheese fries with ranch. For two huge burgers, two sides of bacon cheese fries and bussin mozzarella sticks around $58 /60 before tip and of course we tipped ☺️
