Well Worth the Wait!

Thurman's Cafe opened in 1942, family run and owned for almost 70 years!

The last time we visited Thurman's, Alexander was a newborn!  We waited for just shy of 1 1/2 hours, in the middle of the day, to be seated in the cafe. 

The walls are decorated with vintage pictures and awards as well as hundreds of signed one dollar bills.  The bar lines one side of the cafe and there are 5 wooden booths which seat up to 6 patrons on the opposite side.   In addition, a few tables seating two patrons line the window area.  Not a large place, but one that's ALWAYS busy!


The ceiling is lined with vintage Budweiser wallpaper.

Hmmmm....what could Thurman's possibly be known for serving?!  HUGE 3/4 pound burgers!  The Thurmanator (not pictured) has all kinds of "dressings" including 2 3/4 pound burgers!  Now, that's a mouthful.  Trey and I ordered the bleu cheese burger--fully dressed.  And, oh my heavens--that's the best burger I've EVER tasted!  SO worth the wait!

We can't wait to enjoy our Thurman Burgers--yum oh yum!
