| - Finally had an opportunity to try OSS and definitely worth the effort to get here...and to come back for seconds!
Outstanding Sausage Selection might be one of the many things that OSS stands for. Others would be Our Sausage Shop or Original Sausage Specialties, but my two favorites....Ohio State Sucks (particularly pertinent this week) and Obviously Sparty Sucks! Whatever you want the acronym to be, it doesn't change what this place offers....great sausages and 'Or Sorta Sausage' (i.e. hot dogs and vegetarian options).
The draw is finely crafted sausages with flavors that you could only get from a place that makes their own. Definitely one of the best smoked polish sausages I've ever had (not getting it with kraut is sacrilegious! ) and the deep fried (Kevin) Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog is a carnivorous nirvana! My DNA (the youngest one) opted for the Chicken Fajita and raved about how great the spicy chicken sausage, with mexican cuisine inspired flavors, tasted. Alas, it was already off the menu by my second visit.
With an ever changing menu of Original Special Selections (another OSS!!), as well as their menu standards, there is something to please even the most Overly Selective Sybarite (again!). Patrons can even achieve limited time notoriety by submitting their own ideas for gastronomic originality with ideas for new sausage flavors. With sides of deep fried cheese curds or french fries, and great beer specials (today was BOGO!!), it's a great pre-Badger game day eatery.
The only knock on the place is that parking can be a pain but, depending on the time, Meriter's parking lot across the street can be used. However far away you have to park though, it will be well worth your effort!
