This family restaurant sits right in the middle of Columbus’s German Village, which has been meticulously restored to look exactly like a little old German town. Of course, the restaurant has followed suit, offering a tempting assortment of authentic sausages and desserts, as well as other German specialties. Outfitted in traditional costume, the staff is extremely friendly and willing to help diners choose between the buffet and the “Bahama Mama” bratwurst plate.
