Thurman Cafe

Huge Burger With Huge Flavor. Thurman Cafe is known for its delightful and huge burgers. Not only burgers are huge but the flavors of those burgers are huge too. That's the reason why I'm addicted to Thurman's Burger. It's simply scrumptious!

Among my favorites are the Thurman burger and the Jonnie burger. Both burgers are crazy good. I can't live without those burgers. TC is my life!

Other food I liked at TC are their onion rings, chicken cordon bleu sandwich and steak cut fries. Those 3 food I mentioned are food you must order and eat at TC.

Their attendants are very warmth and approachable. That makes Thurman Cafe's customer service world class!

TC is a must go to place!…

The best!. Okay, I have now been there 7 times now, and there is no discussion about, these burgers are the best! Huge patties cooked the way you want it. The Macedonian, the Big TC, and the Jonnie burgers are just a few of the exclusive line of unique burgers only to be had at Thurmans. Yes, some burgers do not come with fries, but that's probably a good thing, because you may not have room for them! And if do order them, then come in a huge basket at a great price. And yes there is a wait. Why do you think that is? Its because its that good! Service may be a little slow too but that's because of the size of the flat top. The cook can only cook so many burgers at one time. But even with the delays, I have never had bad service or a cold burger...always piping hot. The pizza and subs are excellent too. So in a nutshell, if you are too anal to chill out and a have a drink while you wait, this place may not be for you, but if you like great burgers, you cant go wrong here.…

What is the fuss all about?. I had waited a few years to make the trip to the famed Thurman Cafe. I'd heard mixed reviews from my co-workers about the place, but after the Man vs Food episode at the Thurman, I figured it it would surely be worth a try.

First of all, we were told the wait was going to be an hour; on a Saturday at 5 PM. This is to be expected, given the popularity and the size of the restaurant, so we decided to wait.

We got lucky and found some seats at the bar; so our wait was only about 30 minutes between entering and ordering. It' a super crowded little bar, but the staff was friendly and it's a fun place to have a drink. We did not have any surly-staff experiences like some other reviewers seem to have encountered.

But then we got our food, served at the bar. I ordered a Thurman Burger ($10), my wife ordered the Fish Dinner ($9), and we got an order of onion rings ($4).

The famous Thurman Burger? In summary, it's huge, sloppy, and boring. Most of the taste of this burger comes from the slathering of cheeses, mayo, sauted onions+mushrooms, and the ham - not the burger itself. Honestly, I've had tastier ground beef from many other chain restaurants, as well as my own grill. It's not bad; but surely it's not worth waiting for over an hour for such mediocrity?

The fish dinner on the other hand, was a major thumbs down. Greasy, dark limp breading that slid off the codfish; "fries" that were similarly greasy and limp. To me this is sort of the litmus test of a bar and grill; the fried food, and this was disappointing.

On the bright side the onion rings were pretty good, very crisp and flavorful batter. Overall not a bad onion ring.

I won't be rushing back anytime soon to the Thurman, I can't imagine waiting over an hour for food this average. After this meal, I really don't understand all the hype about this place.…
