Famously good or a total fluke? Thurman's Cafe

Let me first start out by saying that we made the mistake of getting it to-go, which meant our food would be waiting for us to arrive and pick it up then we would have to wait 25 minutes to delve into this deliciousness. However, it is conclusive: these burgers are to die for! I had "The Big TC", and let me tell you the special sauce leaves you craving more.  I was always mocked for not having tried our famous Thurman's Burgers which have been featured on Man VS. Food, etc. and now I understand why, I was really missing out on a piece of Columbus that gave Cbus-ers a sense of pride and unity; it connected our community. (Us "foodies" really come together in the name of excellent, mouth-watering food). Even with soggy texas toast, I enjoyed every single bite and saved my morsels for later. I definitely recommend eating in the cafe, or if you are in the mood to for take-out just make sure you ask for all of the sauces on the side.
Now, let's get to the fried appetizers... We ordered fried pickle chips and jalepeno chips. My boyfriend and I were both pleased with the overall taste, but it seemed like they rushed through cooking them as they could have been much crunchier; the soft breading was the downfall to these appetizers receiving an 'A' in my Foodie Book. BUT, that didn't stop us from re-cooking them in order to make them savory and tasty- we threw them in the oven on Broil (HI) for about 7 minutes and they were better than ever! That extra crunch really made the dishes. (This is proof that go-getter's achieve much higher satisfaction in life simply because they make it happen!)  The last and final dish to top off the meal was their fried cookie dough bites.... yes, FRIED cookie dough bites...and of course they were as amazing as they sound! I was gushing with excitement as I bit into my first ball of cookie dough, the ooey-gooey center was bursting with sweet flavors but the salty fried batter on the outside balanced the sweetness to give me the best of both worlds. No complaints there. I must say, this is surely and positively the way to eat cookies. On our next trip we may have to splurge and get both the fried cookie dough bites AND fried brownie bites.
With their menu, the choices are endless. I could go there time and time again and order something different, which I am sure would be wonderful, and leave fully satisfied. Even my wallet can't complain about our experience; the prices are average for the size of burger that you get. This is a two-meal burger for around $10-12. The appetizers were priced reasonably and the portion size was quite enormous. Overall, I give our experience a 'B', but I also take fault for deciding not to sit-in to enjoy our meal. I may become a frequent foodie visitor there, if it weren't for my diet telling me to relax on my "cheat" days!
