Great food. In town for work and went with people from work. All foodservice people great experience. Only thing is wish there was more spätzle in the green beans sausage sample was excellent!
One taste and you'll be glad the cream puffs are as big as your head. Incredibly good. The beer is good too and the buffet was awesome. My favorite restaurant in Columbus.
Fun place with great food and live music . Order a German beer , get your fill of sausage and other eats from the buffet , and then finish your meal with one of their massive and delicious cream puffs !
Great Bierstube-style restaurant in German Village ! Great housemade sausages (although the "Bahama Mama ," while great, seems an odd fit), sides, and desserts . Check out the fudge shop next door!
Food is authentically German , the waitstaff is dressed in German attire, and the restaurant is on the national registry of historic places! Known for its Bahama Mama sausage and their cream puffs .
Great menu. Awesome buffet ! You gotta try the vanilla cream puff your first time but after that it's peanut butter fudge all the way. It's also the only resturant in town with my picture on the wall
Get Autobahn buffet ...all of the bests of Schmidt's and all you can eat . Make sure to leave room for one of their famous cream puffs .
This place is a great Columbus find. Located in the Herman Village , great food (brats , wurst , schnitzel , red cabbage , etc.). They have a lunch buffet that is reasonably priced.
Sausage Sampler potato salad and apple sauce is amazing definitely a 9.0 rating
The lunch buffet is a deal--$10/person--with desserts only $3.75 extra. Warning: cream puffs a ginormous, one is big enough for a family of four.
We were on a Croswell motorcoach trip to Columbus German Village . The food was good and there are shops within walking distance. Had a good time.
If you are on a diet than skip dinner and just have the jumbo 16 inch softball size Creme puff. It is awesome and probably 1800 calories. I am so ashamed of my own lack of will power.
The Autobahn buffet is great. Make sure you get a creampuff . They're awesome, and slightly cheaper with buffet (get it to go if you're not hungry).
Very hesitant when I went in there because I'm a vegetarian . But their fish is pretty awesome and the desserts ....wow
Woow, the food is really delicious here and they serve large proportions!! The octoberfest beer is perfect, so light and sweet!! ;9
Had the Buffett and it was well worth it. Everything was delicious and I just couldn't get enough of the sauerkraut .
Great beer ! I tried the buffet for the first time ever, the sausage stew was phenomenal. I also love their German potato salad .
Get the Bahama Mama and a cream puff for desert . They’re both the cats pajamas
Loved by locals, this is a must try in Columbus. Feast on Schmidt's Famous Pretzel Nuggets ($5.75) for a starter w/the Bahama Mama "The Original" ($10.75), or one of the legendary sandwiches ($7+). Read more
The Bahama mama is legendary. Don't leave without a cream puff . The beer is classic German and very good.
Get there early. Staff was very kind on a hectic night. Take out is an option. The cream puffs are worth it.
Amazing German food . The potato salad is the best, goes great with kraut and sausages
Totally worth the wait. Cream puffs are incredible and sausages are amazing. Highly recommended.
Try the hot pretzels , cream puffs , all sausages on buffet , creamy potatoes , and more at this wonderful German restaurant . At the bar , try the beer sampler and a stein of the best Hefeweizen !
Jeremy at the bar is fantastic! And forget the calories get a cream puff ! Had the peanut butter one and it was fabulous!
It is a very popular restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. It produces it's own beer . Draft beer samples are perfect.
Everything that you can order is delicious!! The Sausage Platter is fantastic.
Pork shank . First new item in 25 years. Instantly the best thing in the menu. Get. It.
Great German place. Try the buffet to sample a little of everything.
Unfortunately, not really authentic , but the garlic knokwurst was good! Great desert pastries !
The famed cream puff is nothing more extravagant than whipped cream on a croissant . Imho.
Great cream puffs ! Best non home made I have ever had!
Can't say enough about this place. A must stop anytime we're traveling through!
The buffet is absolutely amazing and is paired perfectly with German beer !
$16 for the buffet is a great deal. Plus I got a discount on a cream puff by ordering the buffet .
$14 all you can eat buffet is awesome. Plenty of sausage , most side dishes, special price for dessert w/ buffet $2.75. Try the cream puff .
Never disappointed...great food, great music , great fun!!....and the cream puffs are "the bomb"!
Great sausage buffet with green beans and bacon ! Cream puffs are fabulous!??
Try the Pork Shank - it's new and it's fantastic!!
The Autobahn is the best!! German knockwurst and German potato salad ????
The potato soup is excellent and so is the meat loaf....OMG!!! and the cream puffs are to die for. love this place.
The Bahama Burger Special and the Jumbo Cream Puff is all you need.
Loved the Buffet cuz you try a little bit of almost everything menu. Sausage & Hot German Potato Salad ! Creampuffs yummy & huge. Don't share because they're light enough you could eat a whole one!
Definitely get the pretzel bites and the cream puff of course

A real German restaurant . Yes, just like in Germany, but in Columbus.
Sauerkraut Balls are to die for! Best invention EVER! Beer sampler was fantastic too!
Try the pretzel bites they are delicious!
Everything here is great. Worth the long wait on game days.
Try the schnitzel . I like their weizen beer .
Recently opened casual German bar and restaurant. Try the corned bees hash on the breakfast/brunch menu! - jiresell
Do not leave until you’ve tried the raclette. The signature raclette is great to share. Also recommend the zoodles, the stuffed chicken breast, and the käsespätzle. - Ella Howd
Best park in the city. Adults and children can enjoy this wonderful park. So relaxing, clean, and safe. And it's dog friendly. My 2 yr old sister loves it! - Nitra M
