Great service, great selection of food. Wait staff team worked, location to my camp ground was 3 miles or so. Full chicken wings, onion straw, wedge salad, and desert portabella mushrooms fried with horseradish sauce. I would go again in a heartbeat. read more

Sat at the bar. Definitely a neighborhood joint but welcoming to everyone. Welcoming atmosphere and friendly bartenders. I ordered the Johnny burger, bacon in the side. Blue cheese and horseradish cheese. So good!!! They won't do medium rare so I went with medium and it was cooked to perfection!!! The cook cooks a mean burger!! Kudos!! I highly recommend Son of Thurman! read more

Wow! We all loved our food. These burgers are huge...and so good. The onion strings were so good, we ordered a second basket....but then we were so full from burgers that we couldn't eat all of them. ‍ Make sure you try this place! Also, the staff was super friendly. Note: I eventually had to remove my bun to eat my burger and I still couldn't finish it. read more

We recently moved to Worthington from Cincinnati. A couple weeks ago we went on a ride and stopped at Son of Thurman in Galena, OH. We had eaten a few weeks before at Son of Thurman in Delaware, OH, snd enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We liked the atmosphere in this restaurant too, and we asked the waitress for her recommendations. She said they were known for their hamburgers. We had split the Philly Cheese steak in Delaware so we decided to get a burger for each of us. I don't like French Fries so I got a Side Salad instead. The salad came first and it could have been a meal itself. A little later the MushroomBurger and the Blue Cheese burger arrived. They were huge. I don't think I have had a hamburger this large in a very long time! What we couldn't eat we brought home and I think my wife had 2-3 more meals from the French Fries and the burger . We will be happy to go back here again! read more

Had an Italian sub with french fries here. The Italian sub was huge as I got the large sandwich and super well flavored with all the different meats cheeses and garnishes. French fries are always the star for me here as they do a great job of keeping it crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. My coworker got a burger and said it was awesome Great job! read more

Came in for lunch. There were two servers. The shorter one was really excellent and didnt stop working the entire time. The other one was nice enough but worked the room at a much slower pace and was far more chatty- which when you only have two people and a lot of customers..... maybe less chatting. We came in and ordered fries. They came out really quick. Almost too quick to cook. They were also cold. We sent them back and then there was a long delay. We did get them. They were super fresh. Nice and hot. If you dont like seasoning... remember to order them without salt. They use a lot of seasoning/salt. We then ordered a reuben pizza thin and buffalo wings. The wings are huge. Meaty. Cooked and presented nicely. The pizza thins never disappoint. Probably the best thing there. read more

Son of Thurman - Kansas City Chef Burger and onion straws. - American Near Me - Galena, Ohio

First time coming here. The atmosphere was very relaxed and all the staff were very welcoming. I think my favorite part of my meal were the French fry's! I love crispy fry's and these didn't disappoint. The only thing I would say is that I requested a gluten free bun and my husband requested no onions. Both were forgotten. They ended up bringing a bun out to me to swap, but the burger was so big I really couldn't swap it out without making a huge mess. We plan to try it again because everything tasted great! read more

So sad about this experience. We were so excited to try it. The food is overpriced and too salty. Bad bun choice.

Great portion size and very filling! The onion straws are super tasty, and the pizza burger is an absolute must-try. A bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. read more

Intimate place in Galena (north end of Hoover reservoir). Relative of "the"Thurmans. Nice patio, nice people. Menu has a bit of everything, for anyone. Good beer selection (some local stuff). Even some healthy options, or go full bore burger hugeness read more

Great food and service. Very friendly waitstaff. Never had a bad experience here and prices are reasonable.

Massive burgers. I got the thurman burger. It kinda tasted like an Italian sub with the banana peppers and provolone and ham, which I felt was weird. Reuben balls were ok. Not enough meat tho. Service was amazing tho and the inside looks very nice dive bar vibes. read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp as we were passing through Ohio. What a stroke of luck. This place is a hidden gem. We had one of the best hamburgers and fries I've had in my life. I believe it was called the Johnny burger, horseradish cheese and blue cheese on a 3/4 burger cooked to perfection. We also had buffalo wings that were awesome. We'll definitely stop by if we're ever back this way. Great service too!!! read more

First experience at Thurman Jr's. Loved it!!! Soooo much more room than the original location!!! Our party of 9 was quickly seated & the staff handled everything from drinks to apps to entrees in a perfect fashion. Pretzel Bites, Reuben Balls, Fried Pickles - wonderful. Fries are absolutetly incredible. Oh.....The Burgers......They were great as you would expect. Chris, the owner came over to our table and introduced himself & we had a nice chat about why we were in town.....Minford High School boys Soccer State Semi-Championship. (Victory, btw....4-0) Will definitely be back. read more

For a dive bar, 4/5 The wings are huge! 4 is plenty for one person. I personally liked the hot vs bbq. Onion rings were good and the burger was pretty solid. If back in the area, I'd go back again. read more

They will not make a rare burger. Don't let them talk you into medium if you want rare. Also the garlic wing sauce is different.

We couldn't get in to our first choice as visitors to the area on a Friday night, so we walked next door to Son of Thurman. We were not disappointed! Everything was top notch: food, atmosphere and service! The prices were fair and we left stuffed with the tastiest burger and fries. We'll definitely be back! read more

WOW! This is a great spot. Locally owned with awesome waitresses that are very friendly and attentive. We had reservations with a group of 11 and seated right away. Great drink menu with craft beer. Known for their burgers you can't go wrong. This could be a hidden gem Bar style decor but the entire group lived it. I would be back and you should stop also or miss out. read more

1st time at this Thurmans in Galena and let me just say WE Loved it. We sat out back on a very large nice deck overlooking woods. Ashley was our server and she was so Pleasant , Attentive on spot on. The food taste Fantastic, we started off with a Large Pizza Crisp and in my opinion it truly is one of my Top 3 Pizza's in C-Bus we followed that up with the Famous Thurman Hamburger and is was as it always is The Best Burger in Columbus or surrounding areas. Always a very Happy Camper after leaving any THURMANS but this place with a Great location, plenty of parking and less wait time may be our New go to Thurmans location..We will miss Victor but we now have Ashley read more

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was hesitant to eat here but I was surprised. The cheeseburger was actually good. I like my burgers well done and I was very pleased that it came out this way despite the patty being so large. It wasn't dried out. In fact it looked greasy but didn't taste greasy which was unexpected. We got the Big 3 cheeseburger and we chose the pepper jack, American and cheddar cheese. The fries were big fries and just okay to me. I think I would have liked them if they were fresh and not quite so cooked. They were dry but edible. Something I definitely did not expect was a $2.99 share plate fee. I had never heard of this before. And I hope this isn't a new thing that restaurants are now starting to do because we often share a big meal at restaurants. Ambiance-to me, it's more of a bar than a restaurant. We visited during the day on a weekday. I'm not sure what it looks like at night. None of the customers were rude or disorderly. There were five others at the bar. The service was prompt and friendly. The bill was approx $22.00 for one large cheeseburger and fries (no drink). That included the tax and our shared plate fee of $2.99. read more

If you want such delicious food in Delaware Ohio you best go here. Been here a few times I live about 30 mins away. Inside the decor is wonderful to not. The staff is always great my wife is in a wheelchair and I am disabled. They make sure to greet everyone and help. read more

This is the best burger I have ever had! Thick, and cooled to perfection. Can't wait to get back one day! I live in Texas now but would fly to Columbus just to go to have that burger again! read more

A wonderful place with delicious food! The wait staff was very friendly. I love their Hawaiian burger! Happily recommend five stars.

We sat outside on the patio on the nicest day of the year. Did you know their burgers are 3/4 pounds?!? Thankfully there is a senior burger, which is about the same portion as the junior burger (6 oz.), but the junior burger comes with fries and the senior burger doesn't. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich (it comes with fries) and it was delicious. The pork was moist and nicely seasoned and was topped with coleslaw and pickles. read more

TLDR: Nice server and fun dinner, but way too expensive. The food was fine. It wasn't super special, but it was ok. My husband's burger was fine, but lukewarm. My veggie burger was pretty good, if not way too big. However, the kids' drinks were priced for EACH glass (not stated on the menu). That means we paid more for their drinks than our beers. $14 bucks for two Sprites and two lemonades is crazy. Our bill was $95 for average food and Bud Lights. I mean, it's Galena and not German Village. It was a $60 meal at best. I'm all for paying for what you get, but man that was a lot. Our server was really nice, but stretched way too thin. I think I'd go back if it was more reasonable, but I can get a much more impressive meal for that price in this city. read more

Been her several times! Love their food! They have huge portions!! They do charge for an extra plate if you are planning to share. Great staff, super kind helpful and understanding of my toddler!

Son of Thurman - Cheeseburger. - American Near Me - Galena, Ohio

Uhm I love this place so much. I didn't know what to expect when my husband suggested this spot for lunch one rainy Saturday. Literally thought it'd just be a regular ol' burger but little did I know it'd be the GOLIATH of burgers. I ordered the Thurman Burger and committed to the 3/4 lb patty because I ain't no bish. Y'all, I'm from California so I'm used to the thin patties they serve at In n out. Boy was it an undertaking to finish the burger but, hey, I'm not complaining. Every single bite was savory, succulent, and to-die-for. And I demolished it. Oh and let's not forget their fries. Ohhh my god I actually love when a restaurant leaves the potato skin on -- it's extra crispy and has a better chew. So yum, so satisfying. I thoroughly enjoyed everything so rest assured I'll be back read more

The wife wanted a good cheese burger for mothers day so we tried this place out. We weren't disappointed, and the burgers were awesome. With this being our first time we tried the original and holy cow, it was huge. The flavor was awesome, and even the kids liked the burgers. I like to try onion rings wherever I go, and the rings here are worth it. The place had great service, and the Tempe was just right.We will be back. read more

Our service was amazing. The atmosphere was nostalgic. The Thurman Burger was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. My brother and dad would frequent the original when he played at OSU. Dad would have loved this location! read more

My husband, sister and brother-in-law and I came here a few weeks ago for dinner and it was soooo good. We previously had a great experience at Thurman downtown, so we knew we'd have a similarly awesome time at this spot. The food was delicious and service was awesome! For apps we split the garlic parmesan and buffalo wings, along with the fried pickles and we were all very happy with these choices. The burgers are (obviously) the stars of the show but I really enjoyed my chicken salad sandwich and my sister liked the cheese pizza thin too. We also enjoyed the overall vibe of the place and clearly the local folks do as well. My husband and I, who live locally, will be back soon! read more

Wednesday nite we went an hour before closing. We were worried that it may be too late, but they said to come on in. I ordered a Kansas City burger, junior sized. Even tho it was JUNIOR, it was huge. I took home leftovers. Meat is cooked to order and the fries are fresh cut, similar to fair fries. My husband ordered similar, but no leftovers for him. We had several drinks from the bar, they have specialty drinks and beer. We love this place, its on the square in Galena and easy parking. read more

We came in on a Friday night a few weeks before Christmas- it was a bit busy, so we had to wait about 20 minutes. I'd say that was the most negative part of our experience by far. The problem is, you have to wait outside, because there's no really no place to stand inside, or else you're standing right over someone's table where they're eating. No problem with the wait itself though. It's understandable. I can see why people like it here! We were greeted with a very friendly smile and great service from the get-go once seated. Our kids ordered the pizza because they almost always do, but I have to admit, they didn't love it. They said it was too greasy, but hey, I liked it. I'm not picky when it comes to pizza. I had the Angie's grilled cheese with french fries, but of which were greet. My wife and in-laws liked their food too. I appreciated the draft selection and took advantage of the options. But moreso, it was the great service and the atmosphere. It definitely felt like a small town vibe, without the pretentiousness or exclusivity that an out-of-towner might feel in other similar places. I'd feel very comfortable coming back here and I definitely will be back. read more
