If you’re craving an unforgettable burger, The Thurman Cafe is a must-visit! 🍔 I tried the legendary Thurman Burger, and it was a flavor explosion - juicy and perfectly seasoned. We also indulged in the crispy onion rings and wild fries, which were deliciously addictive!

The cozy, historic atmosphere adds to the charm, but be prepared for a wait during peak hours. We waited about 40 minutes, but it was totally worth it! 😊 Great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. Can’t wait to go back!
