Schmidt’s Sausage Haus Catering

Always a must do when in Columbus. There may be a wait, but there are a few shops nearby to browse and kill time. Save room for a half-pound cream puff for dessert.

My father's eyes will light up whenever you mention Schmidt's, so this morning I read that their food truck would be close by at the new Tractor Supply and I thought it would be nice to take him. As we pull up I see a line of people and a big fancy truck with absolutely ridiculous prices, I'm reading this menu and see "beef and pork sausage for $13" Now I'm no smoke master but a beef and pork sausage is equivalent to a cheap hotdog, why would you charge a very HIGH price for a poor low quality meat. We immediately got back in the car because two basic sausage's aren't worth $30. A extension of an original 1886 restaurant shouldn't be serving that at those prices, so we drove down to the Dairy Hut and got a full lunch for the cost of 1 of Schmidt's poor quality sausages

In Springfield this evening at Mother Stewart's, arriving in the pouring rain we decided to buy four meals, ordered and went to pay for our two and hand up a $100 bill, the cook is obnoxious telling us no not accepting, we than looked and handed up two twenties and both the cook and the older lady were grumpy, borderline rude just because they did not want to make change, and still would not accept them, we then gave a $20 and my wife had some change to pay. There was absolutely no need to be treated this way, if they asked politely we could have used a credit card. Napkins, are they now in such short supply that you have to beg for two (2) each (per person/meal)The restaurant it ain't! Did I take a photo, why waste my time.Talk about an unpleasant start to a fun evening. The food, OK at best, probably 3 stars.

I was walking around Upper Arlington and right there in the Third Fifth Bank parking lot (or it might be Fifth Third Bank--I dont' know what happened to First, Second, and Fourth) was the Schmidt's Sausage Truck.I was cold and little perplexed. On my walk through the neighborhoods I saw several signs with the word ENOUGH. In smaller print was EqualUpperArlington.com. Okay. I was more cold than perplexed. UA is 88% white and 0.252% Aftrican-American. So ENOUGH what?I like places where I can walk around and find a frankfurter in a bank parking lot--even if the bank name is a little schizophrenic.I like that Schmidts doesn't subscribe to that Hot Dog business. It's a Frankfurter!I asked for a Frankfurter with onions and the dude put it together in about 4 seconds.I stuck it in my pocket and used it as a handwarmer on the way back to where I was staying.I ate it standing by a frozen birdbath in the backyard.Plump, juicy, with just a tiny hint of spice that seperated Schmidt from Oscar Myer.On my next walk around the neighborhood, I'm going to look for a Bourbon Truck.Now that would be ENOUGH.

I caught up with the Schmidt's Sausage truck at a fun alternative pop up they did in place of all our beloved Oktoberfest celebrations that got cancelled! This year they did a collaboration with Graeter's Ice Cream to create a Raspberry Chocolate Chip cream puff, that benefitted *The cure starts now*. Cream Puff? Black Raspberry? SOLD! Nevermind the fact that there would be German deliciousness too! If you've never had anything from these guys, its a must try. Well, I was not the only person who feels this way about Schmidt's apparently because when I arrived at the event at Mason Graeters, the line was wrapped around the building (in the middle of a weekday)! People were really respectful, 6ft away, and patient through the whole thing. It took about 45mins to get to place my order but my god it was worth it. I walked up to the counter and was impressed to see the employees, who were getting slammed, having so much fun! I got the Bahama Mama platter... which is their best tasting sausage along with sauerkraut and amazing German potato salad. I of course also got the cream puffs that I came for. They were straight up the best cream puffs I have ever had! I would stand in line even longer for all this food it was so good! I get the hype now! Follow this truck! (Or you can stop by their physical location in Columbus!).

I LOVE Schmidt's. It is a Columbus staple and when you're on the run or don't feel like going to the actual restaurant, the food trucks are the perfect option. They always have multiple food trucks out and about Columbus & the surrounding burbs. They do a really good job of updating their website and social media to let everyone know where the food trucks are.They usually would come to my work on Food Truck Fridays and although all Friday summers had various food trucks, the ones where Schmidt's would partake were always my fave! Working from home since March, I've missed my Food Truck Fridays so I noticed the Schmidt's Food Truck is usually at the Fifth Third Bank in Upper Arlington, a short drive for me.I ALWAYS get the Bahama Mama platter. That is the #1 sausage that Schmidt's has and it is a must try. It's so juicy and flavorful-- just like if you were in the restaurant. All platters also come with red cabbage (fantastic!) and German potato salad (out of this world!). You also cannot leave Schmidt's food truck without getting your hands on one of those jumbo cream puffs. This most recent time, I got the September 2020 special- Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip. SO GOOD! It may be the best of all their cream puffs I've tried. I regretted only getting one. I hope they make this a regular summer collaboration. On my most recent trip to this food truck, they were a well oiled machine. I think I placed my order, was paying and as soon as I hit the tip button and signed, she handed me my bag. Honestly, it cannot take more than 90 seconds. I was very impressed!Can't wait to be back soon. I am a huge fan of Schmidt's and always will be. Make it a priority to get to the restaurant or food truck if you haven't been there yet. They've been in business for over 130 years, so that speaks for itself. So impressive!

I've been to Schmidt's brick-and-mortar and had recently heard about how they had a food truck about a few weeks ago. I came during Village Lights in German Village and there was a long line! Didn't matter to me since we weren't waiting too long and the workers were quick to prepare food.They mostly had handhelds, like brats and such. I decided to get the Fat Daddy. It's a thick slice of bologna in a pretzel bun. Yummy! It had a nice kick to it.My sister got the Bahama Mama. A brat that she added kraut and pickled cabbage to. She said it tasted like a regular hot dog.Most stuff on the menu is $7.50. Expensive! But I get that they've got to make a profit somehow. Service was alright. No one cracked a smile but they all seemed nice.The menu is pretty limited so I would recommend going to their actual restaurant if you haven't been before. Still, their food is pretty good so it's worth trying the truck as well. You can even get yourself a huge cream puff if you want something sweet.

My grandma lives right by where the truck was parked tonight and the smell drew me in. We walked over and the guys working were super friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. I got a German Bologna platter. My husband got 2 bratwurst. My platter came with the sandwich, red cabbage and German potato salad. I don't like cabbage normally, but I wanted to try it to just see how it was....omg. it was so so so good, so was the potato salad. The bologna.....amazing. my husband is very happy with his brats and has gobbled them both down rather quickly. I will for sure visit again when they are by my grandma's house.

We ended up coming to the Oakland Nursery in Dublin to get some nice foliage for the house. I was pleasantly surprised to see the sausage truck to be sitting in the parking lot when we pulled in! I love Schmidt's sausage house downtown with their wonderful buffet. It's my go-to location to bring visitors who come visit us in columbus. It was nice to see the truck have the same quality of food as the restaurant downtown. The two dudes in the truck were pumping out food quickly so there was no line waiting for me when I approached the truck. The bahama mama sausages are always my favorite, super snappy with a nice spice. The sauerkraut is always fresh and nice and crisp. The pickled cabbage was off the charts and the german potato salad was good as always. I think I will be hunting down this truck the next time we hit the town! Huzzah!

Amazing food! Very patient and friendly crew. Everybody at my old facility excited on Days you are Coming'. Hope to get it worked out where you all can come to the new Dublin Facility....If so bring lots of creamPuffs
