This is all I have to say: BEST PEANUT BUTTER CREAM PUFFS EVER!

I was disappointed that the only entrees on the buffet were sausage and meatloaf. I was expecting a larger selection of German food. The salad bar was very small and the only desert I noticed was a jello/fruit salad. The bahama mamas weren't spicy at all. We paid extra for creme puffs and chocolate pie and they were very good and the (small) buffet was very good as well; but a little pricey.

Not sure how anyone could write a bad review for this place...Its great! The buffet was awesome!The cream puffs were awesome as well!

My friend and I live in Dayton and whenever we go to Columbusits automaticly a Schmidts Event... because there is just no better place to visit while in German Village.

I love the buffet - its all you can eat and you wont find a better selection!

HORRIBLE, nasty food and service! I heard alot about this particular restaurant, and finely we decided to go! Waisted $50, never ever again. Well, I guess that is OK that we didn't like the food.....but service...restroom...never ever again!

I have gone to Schmidt's for years and it is definitely an awesome restaurant. You walk in to a wonderful atmosphere with pleasant people working there. You can see what the desserts look like when you walk in ready to eat. And of course they do taste better than they look ! I love their sausages, but their buffet is awesome. You can try a ...
