I can't believe that some of the last reviews have been bad. I make it a weekly to bi-weekly effort to go the Thurmans. Just from being in there, I can tell you that everyone in there has a good time. The people writing these complaints are probably the ones who want there butts wiped for them. The service there is different, but great. They don't baby you here, but they do have fun with you; it feels like a second home. The food is fresh, high quality, relatively inexpensive, and darn good.
I RECOMMEND THE BLEU CHEESEBURGER WITH BACON (and I like it rare). WITH A PITCHER OF LIENE RED.
There is usually a pretty good wait there, but I don't see it as a wait. My Thurman experience starts out in the lobby. Getting to the table is just the next phase. We get pretzel bites and a pitcher while we hang out in the lobby. If you go out with friends, then hanging out for an hour or two really isn't so bad.
I love the Thurman Cafe!!!
Pros: Burgers, Atmosphere, The Wait!!!
Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Okay, if you live in Columbus and don't know that Thurmans has great, huge burgers then you are really out of it, but I want to tell you about their Italian sub. It is the largest, meatiest Italian sub I have found in all of Columbus. I get it hot so that the cheese is oozing and bread is toasted and warm. They also generously juice the sub up with some Italian dressing, that just makes me feel all happy in side. Serve it up with a basket of fries and you have some serious comfort food. So if the burger just isn't what you are looking for try the Italian sub, if you are looking for take out, ask them to put the dressing on the side, so the bread doesn't get soggy. Enjoy.

I have purchased many a pizza from Mama Mimi's. It is great when you are expecting a crowd - you can have the pizzas ready to pop in the oven hours before they get there and not have to hassle with placing an order for delivery. The pizzas are always very fresh and of course piping hot right out of your own oven!

My project group has been meeting at a few of the Panera Bread locations near campus... the one toward Clintonville and also the one way north on 23 have seperate rooms that you can reserve to spread out your books and discussions. Then there's the coffee, which might come in handy. I know there are a few that don't have the meeting rooms, but the newer ones do.

This little hole-in-the-wall near campus has great pizza and great breadsticks. You have to really appreciate crust (which I do) to like their pizza because it is thick. The sauce is zesty (but not HOT). My vegan friends go here for pizza because it is the only crust in central Ohio that is vegan-friendly. For a cheap lunch, I suggest just an order of breadsticks and saunce. They are cheap and filling.

fun place to go with large group or just for a romantic dinner for two, as long as you have similar eating habits as those u go with. i've only ever had macaroni rosa, which is sooo good! it has macaroni noodles with broccoli, mushrooms, peas, and chicken and a tomato cream sauce. i also HIGHLY recommend their tomato/mozzarella salad.
Pros: lots to choose from, atmosphere
Cons: sharing dinner recommended (pro or con, depending)

Out of the 3 Greek restaurants I've been able to check out in Columbus, I enjoy King Gyro the most. The sauce they use ( I believe it is tzatziki) is great. It is not watery like some places and has a great balance of the cucumber and garlicky flavor.
They have courteous, good service and everything on the menu has been tasty. From the baklava to the chicken gyros, to the lamb gyros and the Greek version of chicken noodle soup- it has a lemony flavor... every thing's been delicious.

I was originally hired as a delivery driver in Fall of 1987 when I transfered to Ohio State from University of Cincinnati. There was an Adriaticos at UC also, and I think that is where the 1st restaurant was started, Jefferson Ave. The manager of Adriaticos in Columbs was a delivery driver at the Adriaticos in Cincinnati, Bill Davidson. I knew hm at UC and we partied together. When I transfered to Ohio State, I went in to get a job, and who should I see when I went in to apply but Bill Davidson! He immediately gave me a job as a driver. Bill eventually left and a few more managers came and went. One day the owner, Greg Fortney came in for what I think was a suprise visit to inspect the restaurant in Columbus. He fired the manager and asked me if I would like to become the new manager. I said, sure!
It was at the end of the school year around June 1988. There was not a lot of business at the time because the students were all gone. There were only about 2 other employes, so I hired my best friend at the time, Mark Jobe, to be my assistant manager. I eventually hired the whole staff and most of these great people continued to work there for years.
The pizza was always very good and we started branching out into other things like breadsticks and I think we even had spaghetti for a while. It was not a very fancy restaurant, but I knew it was the best pizza I had ever tasted and I knew it would eventually bve discovered for it's great tasting thick crust pizza. I've never found better anywhere.
Pros: STILL THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD, AND I MADE IT!

My husband and I got engaged here. We've gone back every year since in February for our engagement anniversary. It is always wonderful eventhough the menu never/hardly changes. The steaks are always so perfect and the other food items are just a bonus. The wine list is extensive, but more on the expensive side. For two people, you will easily spend $100, but it is most likely for a special occasion and will be worth it. Steak Kosar, with lobster and bernaise, is the most likely specialty and fantastic.
The new location in the Short North, with its patio, is a must see as well. Same consistent excellence.
