Chris JonesSeptember 30, 2015Great 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, 2015One 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.
Keith CaveySeptember 9, 2017Fun 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!

Chuck CoulsonDecember 22, 2021Great 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!
Discover OhioOctober 26, 2012Food 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.
Stuart WilliamsDecember 18, 2012Great 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- Derek WilliamsJuly 5, 2014Get 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.
Tom BurkaJuly 5, 2013This 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.
Sandra FoytJune 24, 2014The 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.
Evesta StewartMarch 4, 2018We 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.
Greg HennessyJune 12, 2013If 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.
Ben MorrowOctober 9, 2015The 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).
Chu ChuDecember 20, 2015Very hesitant when I went in there because I'm a vegetarian. But their fish is pretty awesome and the desserts....wow
Luz ZSDecember 16, 2014Woow, the food is really delicious here and they serve large proportions!! The octoberfest beer is perfect, so light and sweet!! ;9
Tommy KashMay 22, 2016Had the Buffett and it was well worth it. Everything was delicious and I just couldn't get enough of the sauerkraut.
Brandy 😀 Noponen 💕February 15, 2014Great beer! I tried the buffet for the first time ever, the sausage stew was phenomenal. I also love their German potato salad.
Kyle LeBeauOctober 16, 2017Get the Bahama Mama and a cream puff for desert. They’re both the cats pajamas
Nathan SmithDecember 10, 2015The Bahama mama is legendary. Don't leave without a cream puff. The beer is classic German and very good.
George LeeFebruary 28, 2016Get there early. Staff was very kind on a hectic night. Take out is an option. The cream puffs are worth it.
Max TFebruary 10, 2016Amazing German food. The potato salad is the best, goes great with kraut and sausages
LL MedvinJune 14, 2015Totally worth the wait. Cream puffs are incredible and sausages are amazing. Highly recommended.
Nicole KirchOctober 16, 2010Try 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, 2013Jeremy 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, 2014It is a very popular restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. It produces it's own beer. Draft beer samples are perfect.
Zach HuffmanMarch 31, 2018Everything 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.
Constantin WOctober 22, 2019Unfortunately, not really authentic, but the garlic knokwurst was good! Great desert pastries!
ᴡ WollamOctober 7, 2016The famed cream puff is nothing more extravagant than whipped cream on a croissant. Imho.
David KrukJanuary 15, 2015The buffet is absolutely amazing and is paired perfectly with German beer!
Eric KeeslingApril 6, 2014Can't say enough about this place. A must stop anytime we're traveling through!

ElizabethAugust 20, 2011$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.

Angel CraleyAugust 10, 2011The potato soup is excellent and so is the meat loaf....OMG!!! and the cream puffs are to die for. love this place.
- Annamaria Settanni McDonald ArtistMarch 16, 2015Loved 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!
Bentley CordelNovember 16, 2014You won't want to drive home after the buffet!! Try Lyft. First ride FREE* We are in the area. Use promo code #NOlyNOft for your free ride up $25.
