German Village is an antique brought to life...
...A place where brick lined streets wind between beautifully
restored homes and businesses...
Where brewmasters crafted their beers in small batches long
before breweries were called micro...
Where the heritage of German-American immigrants who fashioned
this place is lovingly preserved...
A place where J. Fred Schmidt made his famous sausages from the finest ingredients.
We hope you enjoy the true flavor of German Village found on our menu.
