Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant is a legendary Columbus eatery dating all the way back to 1886. The story of Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant begins with German-born Fred Schmidt. Fred arrived in America and settled in Columbus’ German Village in the early 1880s - a charming neighborhood just south of Downtown Columbus. Here he opened the J. Fred Schmidt Meat Packing House. Fred's Meat Packing House was extremely successful, so he decided to open a concession stand at the Ohio State Fair in 1914 - a concession stand that still stands today! This concession stand eventually led to the first Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant being opened in 1967 - around the corner from the original meatpacking plant - and the rest is history!

Using recipes from their original meatpacking days, Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant instantly became the go-to food spot in Columbus. Their live German oompah music and their desserts - which were developed from the secret recipes of the German immigrants that used to work in the kitchen - reminded the residents of German Village of home, so they kept finding any excuse to go back. Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant is now so synonymous with Columbus that their restaurant building - a brick livery stable - is registered as a historic landmark. Their signature Bahama Mama sausage was even voted as being the official food of Columbus! If you're unsure which sausage you want to try, we recommend ordering their “Autobahn Buffet”. The Autobahn Buffet offers a wide selection of sausages, so you'll be able to eat until your heart's content. More than just a "sausage haus", Schmidt's also offers a number of amazing traditional German dinners, including their Alpine Chicken Spatzel and the Wiener Schnitzel und Gravy. 

Five generations of the Schmidt family have now worked to bring authentic German hospitality and food to Downtown Columbus. Upon entering their restaurant, you quickly realize how great of a job the Schmidt family has done. The historic atmosphere at Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant is second-to-none. With a beautiful "banquet haus" upstairs and offering live German music on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, Schmidt’s makes you feel as if you are actually in Germany!
