Osgood Grub Co

I eat here once a year on the way to the Whispering Beard Folk Festival. I have the lunch buffet because it is pretty darn good. There's a salad area (with actual lettuce and cold veggies), a dessert/salad area (fruit in jello, pudding, etc.), a couple of soups, and a pretty huge hot bar.

I usually fill a plate with veggie-type stuff (lima beans, green beans, corn, maybe soup) to eat first then go back for a smaller plate of the meat-and-carbs items. This year they had pasta with clam sauce, turkey and dressing, roast pork with gravy, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, battered fish, beans and ham, and a few other items on the Friday lunch buffet. It was all pretty tasty. Had I eaten any more, I probably would've fallen asleep before getting the campsite up in Friendship.

I browsed their menu and was shocked to find brussels sprouts in the appetizer section! It said "pan friend with walnuts and balsamic". Definitely not something I expected to see at "the Grub" (locals call it that). There is a bar but also plenty of family dining. Decor is along the lines of Cracker Barrel meets TGIFriday's...lots of memorbilia glued to the walls with a redneck/country/local feel. Taxidermied animals, old newspapers, antique lanterns, etc. Some of the bar stools are seats from old fishing boats. It's that kind of place. Outside there is "found object" metal art...think bits of old cars welded into the shape of Don Quijote.

Definitely a neat spot and deserving of a place in "roadside Indiana" lore.

Went for dinner, so missed the buffet. The pulled pork was good, not the best, but good enough I would order it again. The portions were good, and price was fair. I plan to go back again, as it is something different from all the stuff in the Greensburg, without too far of a drive. The only minor issue I saw was some of the staff seemed to get on each others nerves, but that could happen anywhere.

Super cool atmosphere and interior design using architectural salvage. Food was great. They have great diner food and bigger platters for dinner. Next time I eat there, I am gonna have to try the deep fried Brussels sprouts.
