Editorial Review for Schmidt's Restaurant und Sausage Haus – by Jesse Will
The Scene
Since 1886, Schmidt's has served millions of brats to millions of people, likely helping Columbus retain its image as one of America's fattest cities. But with food this good, who's thinking about image? Now a tourist attraction, the service can be off-and-on, but the food's almost always on.
The Food
Along with the traditional bratwurst, which is a delicacy in itself, there's the famed Bahama Mama; a spicier link now carried in groceries everywhere, it's best paired with sides like German potato salad and homemade chunky applesauce. Also on the menu are traditional German spreads like chicken spaetzel and Wiener schnitzel, and enormous cream puff pastries drizzled with chocolate. You'll find some local microbrews on draught, as well as German favorites like Paulaner, Spaten, and Warsteiner.

we were first timers to Schmidt's tonight and the experience was poor enough to compel me to write a review. Food took 50 minutes to arrive - the side salad alone took 30. The waitress spent more time talking to the busboys than to our table and neglected to keep us informed on any delays. Likewise, the manager seemed to care less about our experience stating "we try to get our food out in less than 20 minutes - your ticket was out in 18." No apology, which would have been nice. Bad first impression, unfortunately will be my last.

There is no place like Schmidt's for German Food. If you like sourkraut, this is the place to be. Try the schnitzel, it is the best in Columbus. The atmosphere is good, and they serve good German beer. The buffet is good for first timers, to get a change to try different offerings.
Pros: Fun dining, the Fudge Haus
Cons: Tables are really close to each other.
