Burgers With Options
In the German Village in Columbus, OH, is a small tavern called the Thurman Cafe. Located on Thurman Ave, it appears to be just a regular bar that serves food. While they do serve some typical bar food, that's not why many people visit the Cafe.
Upon entering the small bar/restaurant area, you'll immediately see hundreds of signs, stickers, and lots of other stuff all over the walls. It's a highly decorated place, and you couldn't possibly see everything if you wanted to.
Once you're done staring at the walls, you'll start to stare at your menu. They've got sandwiches, wings, and other regular fare, but the main attraction here is the burgers. All of the burgers are 3/4 pounders, and they've come up with some unique ways to serve them.
I ordered the Thurman Burger, which includes the burger, cheese, ham, lettuce, tomato, and every other topping that they can possibly cram on the burger. Needless to say, it was a big dripping mess, but it was absolutely delightful. They appeared to be hand pressed burgers, and they were seasoned just right.
Other burgers include Pizza Burgers, Mushroom Burgers, Salsa Burgers, and a variety of others with mounds of toppings you might not expect from a tavern. Best of all, all of the burgers were under $8. They were huge, and you really can't beat the quantity/quality for the price.
Thurman Cafe is located at 183 Thurman Rd in Columbus. Their phone number is 614-443-1570. Expect longer waits on busy nights (Fri-Sat) as the place isn't too big. We got in very easily on a Sunday afternoon though. It's definitely a satisfying meal, and I'd recommend it to anyone with a passion for great burgers.
