Great buffet when we were there. Lots of fresh veggies and a great selection. I like buffets so I can eat a little of a lot of different food and get my veggies. Went out of our way to go back 3x's to eat there during our stay. Good service and a nice quiet place for a meal. Just have to watch when the tourist buses unload it can get very busy. Large roomy restaurant made of old box cars. If I lived in Toronto I would go there often. Sorry to hear other people didn't like the buffet style or went at a really busy time.

My friend booked this place for a Christmas-time get-together one year, we had one whole box car section closed off for us. I guess when she booked it she was thinking about going to a place that could possibly feed all these hungry guys in our group of friends. Similarly, the Town & Country Market Buffet's train of thought is hm.... what kinds of food can we throw together that is filling and could feed a large crowd for cheap.
So that's the type of food we ate, breads, pastas, pizza, tacos, etc. The food doesn't look exactly fresh. It's not even comparable to Mandarin when you walk in and you can see an extravagant fruits & veggie stand with fresh food being made.
The servers were good at bringing us water, but in the end it was the serve yourself kind of deal. It's definitely not a place that we'd go back to for another get-together based on the food itself. What made it even worst though is that because it was a buffet-style restaurant they didn't appreciate the 1 or 2 people that passed by the get-together to say "hello" and didn't stay for the meal.
They charged us for the extra person that came, even though she just walked in to say hi, and didn't eat a single thing, and left before we even went to dive into the buffet tables. We complained and brought it up with the manager but they still made us cover the charge. At that point all 20 of us knew that we would never lay feet in this restaurant ever again. -

What's better than mediocre food? Lots of mediocre food. What's even better than more mediocre food? Lots of mediocre food on a box car. That's what awaits you at the Town & Country buffet. Okay, okay. I lied. It's not one box car, it's several tied together.
Now it's not all that bad. It succeeds in trying to be the thing that it tries to be. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet with different styles of food on offer, and you can take as many trips as you like to the various carving, pasta, taco, pub food, nacho, mussels, salad, fruit, ice cream and dessert stations until you eat so much you will require a caboose to control your forward momentum.
Admittedly, I'm not one for buffets. I have never been one for gluttony and tend to focus my efforts on the remaining six deadly sins. There is a lot of choice here and the food is always plentiful. But the range provides part of its own downfall for Town & Country. There's no focus on one thing and there certainly isn't any one dish that stands out or would make you say to someone, "Yes, it's a buffet but you have to go there to try [blah]." I've been there several times with work friends trying to find that blah. It has yet to be found. This said, it's a safe, relaxing place to go if you're part of a large group, part of a bus tour, or have starving parents whose run at ethnic food stops at soy sauce.
The staff are truly friendly and will cater to whatever buffet-based need you have. Take it for what it is, you may have some fun with it. Else, you may die of excess looking for blah.
