The absolute biggest burger I have ever eaten in my life. The menu is huge and there are so many burger choices. The onion rings are huge. Homemade ranch was outstanding!!

I have been to Thurmans many times and always had a burger since that's what they are known for but this time I ventured out into unknown territory hoping the rest of the food was just as good and I was not disappointed at all. I tried their crispy chicken sandwich this time and it was crispy on the outside, juicy in the inside and HUGE! Our server provided excellent services and brought out food out when it was fresh of the grill, smoking hot. 10/10 recommend!

Best burger so far this decade! It's obvious they make their own patties, and it was cooked perfectly. The bun was all kinds of buttery goodness. The cheese, tomatoes, and pickles were what I'd expect from a farmer's market--beautiful and so much flavor! The ambiance is so German pub. This is what I'd want as a local if I were in fact local. Busy, cheerful, with staff that clearly care about doing their jobs right. I heard drink suggestions, and once a food platter bringing comments as it was paraded to its table (the biggest sausage I have ever seen, looked awesome). I want to come back here. There's so much more to try on the menu! And it'd be a great place to have a few drinks as well.

Great staff and amazing wings and burgers. Long wait but great atmosphere and worth the time if you're in the area.Parking: You may have to walk a block or two but we'll worth it.

Very bad service I felt invisible good place to hang out but very bad treatment average food nothing out of this world I do not recommend this place to anyone when I asked for the bill they charged extra things that I did not ask for the blonde lady and the guy at the bar Apparently they had everything orchestrated to overcharge me, what started with a good night out with my wife ended up damaging everything. I felt cheated. Good place, but rubbish employees, thieves.

The place is very nice but the customer service is very bad because we are Latin and they heard that our English is poor. They wanted to put more items on our account for more than $40. They were putting us on food that we didn't order. How many other people might have done it? Thanks to the fact that my husband understands a little English, he realized what was happening before canceling the account.
