10 Places for an Ooey Gooey Cheeseburger Around Columbus
Isn't it amazing how a humble ground meat patty topped with cheese can be transformed into an infinite variety of choices to satisfy any palate? Whether you like it simple, spicy, sweet, savory or even meat-free, there's a cheeseburger out there with your name on it.
Friday, September 18 is Cheeseburger Day, a time to celebrate this iconic staple of American cuisine. Honor the cheeseburger and support local businesses with a visit to one of these delightful restaurants around Columbus.
The Thurman Cafe
183 Thurman Ave., Columbus, OH 43206
View this post on Instagram
As one writer put it, if there were an NCAA-style tournament for burger joints around Columbus, The Thurman Cafe would be Duke. A German Village landmark since 1942, The Thurman Cafe is so well-known that they have their own Wikipedia entry. Adam Richman of Man v. Food traveled to Columbus to take on the Thurmanator, a behemoth with 24 ounces of beef, three types of cheese, bacon, sautéed mushrooms and onions, ham, and banana peppers But don't be intimidated: there are nearly two dozen types of burgers on the menu to accommodate any size appetite. The Thurman Cafe's kitchen opens daily at 11 a.m.
Rockmill Tavern
503 S. Front St., Columbus, OH 43215
Opened in late 2016, Rockmill Tavern has become a favorite destination in the trendy Brewery District. The menu features upscale gastropub food, but Rockmill's signature Tavern Burger strikes a pleasing balance between traditional and contemporary. Starting with a grilled ciabatta bun made exclusively for Rockmill by Matija Breads, the burger is then topped with Tillamook Cheddar, pickled red onion, bacon jam, and Dijonnaise. Pair your burger with one of the hand-crafted Belgian beers from Rockmill's brewery in nearby Lancaster. Rockmill Tavern is open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday through Sunday.
Flip Side
3945 Easton Station, Columbus, OH 43219
View this post on Instagram
When it comes to supporting local vendors, Flip Side backs up their words with action. All of their chef-driven burgers are made with Ohio-raised grass-fed beef, although you're free to substitute a chicken, turkey, or veggie patty. Purists go for the Simplicity Burger with lettuce, pickle and tomato, while the Uncle Jimmy Burger, with peanut butter, applewood bacon and habanero pepper jelly, is a creative take on comfort food. If you're looking for flavor and tenderness with less fat, try the farm-raised bison burger. Be sure to include a side of truffle fries, which customers rave about almost as much as the burgers themselves. Flip Side opens at 11 a.m. every day but Monday.
O'Reilly's Pub
2822 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43202
Some like it hot, and if you're one of them, the award-winning Pepper Burger at O'Reilly's Pub is your dream come true. A black peppercorn crust is added to the half-pound patty to ensure a satisfying tang with every bite. Bacon, pickles, white onions, and Provolone cheese round out the fullness of flavor. Heatseekers also enjoy the Tom Burger, which is prepared with a healthy dose of spicy Jamaican jerk seasoning. And what would an Irish pub be without a pint of brew to wash it all down? O'Reilly's is serving up burgers and beer seven days a week.
Ritzy's
4615 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43214
View this post on Instagram
Thanks to Irving Berlin's classic song, "Puttin' on the Ritz" has come to mean doing it up right. Nowhere is that more evident than Ritzy's, where your way is always the right way. The Ritz is one of their trademark crispy-edged smashburgers served with toppings that you choose. Options range from traditional add-ons, such as cheese, ketchup, and bacon, to more inventive ones, including sriracha and peanut butter. How hungry are you? The basic Ritz is a double-patty burger, while the Itzy Ritzy is a single patty and the Grand Ritz is a triple-threat. Head to Ritzy's any day of the week starting at 11 a.m.
Street Thyme
1101 N. 4th St., Columbus, OH 43201
Popular, easy to make, and portable, burgers are a natural for food trucks. Street Thyme has gained a reputation for one of the best burgers in Columbus, encompassing the city's thriving food truck scene along with brick-and-mortar restaurants. The best-selling Single Suzy, topped with Cheddar cheese, dill pickle, and housemade Worcestershire aioli, is a masterpiece of simplicity. Add another patty and make it a Basic Betty. Start your day the way Mom intended with an Irish Breakfast Burger, two patties with bacon, grilled tomato, Cheddar, bacon, and jalapeño jelly. Find Street Thyme outside Seventh Son Brewing on Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon, as well as at Land Grant Brewing on Monday night, Antiques on High Wednesday night, and Parsons North Brewing Friday night.
High Bank Distillery
1051 Goodale Blvd., Columbus, OH 43212
View this post on Instagram
In little more than two years on the Columbus restaurant landscape, High Bank Distillery has quickly established its place in the upper ranks. The slogan "Elevated yet Casual" applies to the handcrafted bourbons from their distillery as well as the upscale bar food favorites on the menu. High Bank's namesake double burger is an elegantly tasty combo of American cheese, red onions, pickles, and secret sauce on a brioche bun. Order online for speedy carry-out service. Doors open at 11 a.m. daily.
Pat and Gracie's
340 E. Gay St., Columbus, OH 43215
Pat and Gracie's may sound as though it's named for a vaudeville comedy team, but the backstory is even more colorful than that. The tavern sits on land once occupied by a horse farm purchased by big-time gambler Pat Murnan for his ladylove Gracie Backenstow, former madam of a downtown brothel. Fast-forward to the 21st century, when customers enjoy hand-formed Pat and Gracie burgers such as the Chimi, featuring Monterey Jack cheese, bacon, avocado mousse, caramelized onions, and house chimichurri sauce. Pat and Gracie's has a second location at the more conventional site of Graceland Shopping Center. Both spots are open daily for dine-in, carry-out, and delivery.
Grandview Cafe
1455 W. 3rd Ave., Columbus, OH 43212
View this post on Instagram
As if spectacular food wasn't enough of a draw, the romantic speakeasy vibe earns Grandview Cafe a spot on Columbus Navigator's list of the city's 10 most beautiful restaurants. Billed as "the burger of all burgers," Grandview Cafe's impressive GC Burger lives up to the hype. An appealingly chewy pretzel roll holds a dry-aged beef patty topped with bourbon-caramelized onions, smoked bacon, tomato jam, and a three-cheese blend of Fontina, White Cheddar, and Gruyère. Less exotic but no less tasty is the Hadley's Diner Burger, with American cheese, pickles, and Dijonnaise. Grandview Cafe is open every day for lunch and dinner.
Village Coney
418 E. Whittier St., Columbus, OH 43206
Heading to a hot dog joint for a first-rate burger may sound counterintuitive. Not when it's Village Coney, where both burgers and hot dogs are served with equal amounts of love and respect. With no need to reinvent the wheel, Village Coney offers a beautifully basic cheeseburger with your choice of cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, pepper jack, or bleu cheese. Village Coney serves lunch from Monday through Saturday.

Want to help out? This park has a monthly meetup on the last Saturday of each month from 10 am until noon. This is a great way to meet like-minded people (and their dogs!) while also working on small improvement projects around the park.
