“The Thurman Cafe or Thurman's is a cafe and bar found in the German Village district of Columbus, Ohio. It was opened in 1942 by Nick Suclescy and has remained a family owned establishment ever since. Thurman Cafe is considered to have one of the best hamburgers in the country. Thurman's is often associated with its famous burger known as the Thurmanator. It consists of a bun, lettuce, tomato, mayo, American cheese, provolone cheese, ham, sauteed onions, mushrooms, a 12-ounce burger, bacon, cheddar cheese, hot peppers, and another 12 ounce burger. The burger also comes with house made kettle chips and a pickle spear. The burger was featured on the Travel Channel's TV show Man v. Food (season 1) where the host, Adam Richman, ate a Thurman burger and was then introduced to the Thurmanator. Richman explains the Thurmanator originated as the preferred fuel for competitors in the Arnold Classic bodybuilding competition.”

“Schmidt's Sausage Haus und Restaurant is a fifth generation historic landmark in the heart of German Village, Ohio. Noted for their German sausage recipes from the packing house day along with the award winning jumbo cream puffs, cream pies and of course German chocolate cake. German entertainment five nights a week makes Schmidt's a great place to take family and out of town guests. Lines can be long but you can tour the Schmidt's fudge Haus along with quaint shops while you wait for a table. Schmidt's is also known for their classic catering along with the Schmidt food trucks roaming the neighborhoods of Columbus. You can also find Schmidt's sausages at most all the fairs and festivals in and about Ohio. Columbus' own, Schmidt's.”

“Really unique breakfast fare... got to try the pancake balls (Danish aebleskiver) with Nutella ”

“This is another Tex-Mex spot that has unique tacos and drinks. It's almost identical to Barrio Tacos in Cleveland if you've ever been there. Little more of a bar scene compared to Local Cantina, but the food is just as good. It's a great place to go with a group.”

“Our favorite spot to grab coffee and morning pastries. Our kids are on a mission to try every single sweet treat they have (they haven't been disappointed by any yet). In the warmer months they have a back patio you can sit out on and enjoy your coffee in the sunshine. But heads up - on weekends this spot can be a bit of a mad rush.”
