There was a 25 minute wait for a party of 2, but it is SO worth it. Service was amazing and the drinks Victor recommended were so good. We got the A1 burger and the Aloha BBQ chicken sandwich, both were top notch. For the appetizer we got wild style fries. Highly recommend all 3. We will be making this cafe a regular when we come to Cbus.

I’ve been to Columbus twice in the past 10 years, and both times the only meals I had were here.
The burgers are unique and absolutely delicious. Everyone there is incredibly kind and friendly.
Be sure to give yourself extra time, as there’s usually a wait to be seated, but it’s totally worth it.
If you’re craving an amazing burger, this is the place to go.

I need to double the stars to 10.
First off I’d like to say I’ve ate here a few times and it gets better each time.
The burgers are so big and cooked phenomenally. Has to be the best burger joint in Ohio.
Victor is such a a great guy he was my server both times I’ve been there. I felt like I’ve known him my entire life and he treats you like family.
If you go here please know it’s worth the wait Everytime.

Ok, these burgers are legit. If you are a hungry college student order a burger, if you are not- order one to split, seriously. 12oz to start, big burgers, but super tasty. We had several and all of them were good, get them med well (I usually like med rare, but these are big enough to take a little extra. A family owned dive bar kind of place. Not many tables so plan ahead, they won’t seat until everyone is present. Staff all share waiting duties, so at least there is always someone checking on you, but it is all made to order so nothing is fast, but it is worth the wait. Fries and onion rings were ok, as was the Ruben. Not bad, but stick with the burgers. Beers on tap and some in the can. Friendly staff, street parking. Gets busy fast. You will not go hungry (even splitting).

Burger was completely raw on the inside. How is this Columbus’ best burger when they can’t even cook a burger (to a safely edible temperature)? Also, waited about 15 minutes to be helped (and it was not busy and there was no wait/people before us). Overall, overhyped.

Super fun time at Thurmond Cafe. We had a 40 minute wait but it was totally worth it. Very eclectic place, nice and attentive servers, delicious food. Me and my wife shared a White Pizza Thin and the Thurman Burger, it was a ton of food. My favorite thing were the Battered Onion Straws. Would definitely come back to try more menu items.
