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!
Nicole SmolikOctober 13, 2015
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
Sandra FoytJune 24, 2014
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

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.

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

Get the Bahama Mama and a cream puff for desert. They’re both the cats pajamas
Nathan SmithDecember 10, 2015
The Bahama mama is legendary. Don't leave without a cream puff. The beer is classic German and very good.
George LeeFebruary 28, 2016
Get there early. Staff was very kind on a hectic night. Take out is an option. The cream puffs are worth it.
Max TFebruary 10, 2016
Amazing German food. The potato salad is the best, goes great with kraut and sausages
LL MedvinJune 14, 2015
Totally worth the wait. Cream puffs are incredible and sausages are amazing. Highly recommended.
Nicole KirchOctober 16, 2010
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!
Ed MoranJuly 16, 2013
Jeremy at the bar is fantastic! And forget the calories get a cream puff! Had the peanut butter one and it was fabulous!
Ipek AkolMarch 23, 2014
It is a very popular restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. It produces it's own beer. Draft beer samples are perfect.

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.
John KApril 6, 2016

$16 for the buffet is a great deal. Plus I got a discount on a cream puff by ordering the buffet.
ElizabethAugust 20, 2011

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!
Maria HartsteinDecember 16, 2014
