Town and Country Steakhouse

OUTSTANDING DINING EXPERIENCE

The Town and Country Steakhouse is one of those restaurants that has been around for a long time and enjoys a reputation for excellence. Often times, this type of restaurant falls short of their reputation but this one absolutely does not. We chose this place out of many restaurants in Barrie to have our Christmas gathering. The service was amazing and there were no mistakes made. The owner even came to our table to ensure we had a good meal and great dining experience. The steak was wicked good. A lot of us are quite picky about steak choices but this one exceeded our expectations. The complimentary pickle/olive tray was unexpected and a really nice addition to before the main course. We also were given complimentary garlic bread (yummy)! I could go on and on about the whole experience but to sum it up, I have been to every fine dining restaurant in our city and this one really impressed me. Our whole group had nothing but positive things to say. We will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Thanks to the team at Town and Country for making our evening a wonderful one!!!

best steaks ever

I don't order steak,,,my husband ordered and he gave me a bit..I ended up ordering a rush on a steak and wow it was absolutely amazing...definately going back.

We visited the Town and Country last night 08/29/2010) and left very disappointed. When our orders were brought to the table, one order was wrong ( ordered Lamb and received a steak ). I ordered a medium rare steak and it came well done ( I had checked with the sever before ordering as to what was a Medium Rare steak). Sent it back and received a steak which one would normally receive if one ordered steak and eggs in a Diner. The replacement steak was much smaller and was no where close to the advertised 8 oz steak. Our server should have refused to send the second steak to the our table, but at this point my evening was ruined and I was not about to upset the rest of our party. My steak was tough, was not properly trimmed and was not juicy as advertised by our server when I initially ordered. Another member of our table also ordered the 8 oz New York, it was tough and also small. Given the price that is charged ( $24 for the New York steak ), it is far too high for what is served. Another point which surprised me, there were no vegetables served with the meal. Choice of potato or rice were the choices for the main course. The prices being charged sets an expectation of a much nicer meal. This restaurant advertises that Steaks are its specialty, and this statement was a long way from the truth in our case. It will be a long time before we think about going back ( if ever ) . Dave

We went to many restaurants for Barrielicious...

We went to many restaurants for Barrielicious, this was by far the best. We had a choice of 10 entrees. We were all amazed that we actually got a full plate of food!!! Many others only give you a little sample and you leave hungry!! The service was great and fast. The food was excellent...the dessert was AMAZING!!!! We will all definately return.

My husband and I have eaten here several times...

My husband and I have eaten here several times. In the past, the experience was enjoyable and well worth the money. OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY TOO!! The salad was little more than iceberg lettuce and dressing. My steak was so overcooked that the waitress was appalled There were 9 bones on the rack of lamb which left very little meat to eat. To make matters even worse, my husband's broccoli flower had a HAIR in it!!! I walked out and left my husband to pay the bill. We spend $80 at a place we will never patronize again nor will we recommend Town and Country to anyone we know. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
