"Today's episode of #roadfill comes from Osseo Family Restaurant in Osseo, Wisconsin. This eatery is located within an independent truck stop near the Interstate and I always try to stop at these non-chain locals. The independents usually try harder than the big faceless chains, and this goes for the fuel prices, the quality of food and customer service. I went to the restaurant for breakfast and found it pretty busy with their main demographics. The restaurant was quite large and could accommodate a large number of patrons in stands as well as along the counters. The attentive servers were efficient in serving and keep the restaurant clean. Truckers do not tend to search for Bohemian style dishes. Instead, they prefer meat and potatoes style; the house boiled flavor and offers that you simply do not find in chain restaurants. I prefer home boiled taste too, but my wife cooking is unmatched, so I am always looking forward to home for 'real food'. The menu had these standard meal times, such as pork chops and liver bulbs, that you do not find in 'fine' restaurants. As breakfast I chose Polish sausage and eggs, ash brown with rosin toast. I really liked their coffee price: $1.49 per floorless cup. That sounds like my good white garbage coffee. Of course I ordered a cup and found it pretty good truckstop mud. Do not remember Starbucks, but without the Pomp and the circumstance. My server would make a point to keep my cup full. The meal just arrived. The sausage was juicy and tasty with a lot of taste. I prefer a good Kielbasa in the AM about the "ready" breakfast sausage. Eggs were noticeable and hashbrowns were light and fluffy. The opportunity to order Raisin Toast was nice and helped me make sure I had some fruit with my meal. Two forks up!"

"This was our 1st time here. We're on a 10 day camping trip and purposely added this place to our plans. We stopped in early morning. The place was busy but not packed. 2 waitresses on duty when we arrived. We were seated right away. Service was slow. Our waitress seemed distracted and her customers waited for almost everything. There was a table of men who got most of her attention. The table next to us waited a good 10-12 minutes to get their tab and the table behind to us finally gave up waiting for their tab and went to the register without one. We waited 15 minutes b4 she came to take our order. Once a 2nd waitress came on in that same section, the newly seated tables were served immediately. Getting drinks and coffee right away. We finally got the new server attention to get our coffee. 30 minutes after arriving. Service was disorganized and slow. The lady at the register (owner maybe) never stepped in to help her staff. The food was amazing!!! my potatoe pancake breakfast was delicious!! Eggs were done exactly as ordered. There was too much hollandaise for my taste (the menu said it would be a drizzle). Overall it was great! The sourdough toast just melted in your mouth. 4 berry jam was awesome. I bought a jar to take home. We also bought 2 pieces of pie that I can't wait to try. I would have taken home a sourdough bread too but they didn't have any for sale that day. We will be back if we're ever in the area. I'll sit back and relax. Thank you for a great meal!"
