Opened in 1942 by Nick Suclescy, and family-owned ever since, Thurman Cafe is considered to have one of the best Hamburgers in the country and continues to generate long lines in Columbus’ German Village even today.
Forever a capitol favorite, popularity bolstered by Travel Channel’s Man v. Food and the Thurmanator, guests begin to arrive by 10:30am anticipating an 11:00am opening with all tables filled by noon, no matter how cramped or uncomfortable.
Rarely updating the menu, a tried and true approach that hasn’t failed yet, it is with sports on TV and music playing loud that servers work as teammates slinging Beer followed by Appetizers including Loaded Fries and Onion Rings plus Jalapeno Poppers sure to set mouths ablaze.
Not about to skip Pizza Rolls, Mozz and Pepperoni ready to burn the roof of any careless mouth, Pretzel Bites come deep fried and delicious as a prelude to 12-ounce all-Beef Patties topped as preferred, but undeniably best as the signature complete with Sautéed Onions, Mushrooms, Mozzarella Cheese, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayonnaise, Pickles and Banana Peppers stacked so high it won’t fit anyone’s mouth.
