TM lovers.. give this one a shot.. great game!! I agree that there could be some tweaks made such as a right click to end actions or better upgrades.. but the fun and replay value make this game a winner in my book. Think the poor reviews are somewhat unjust. It gets better in later rounds.
I recommend this game!

Needs more of a graphic upgrdade. If I clinic on a location to venture and then choose where to go in advance, it should state in order, to show that it acknowledge I pick that area already. Also needs a little better graphic display... very beginner looking

It's like a Diner Dash game and the idea is to sit customers, collect dishes and put them in the dish tub. I was really enjoying the game, until I got stuck on Level 26. I even went back to the beginning and played all the levels again, to earn more money, so I could get all the upgrades at maximum level. I also got all the bonuses that could be purchased for the level. I kept all the customers ...Show more
It's like a Diner Dash game and the idea is to sit customers, collect dishes and put them in the dish tub. I was really enjoying the game, until I got stuck on Level 26. I even went back to the beginning and played all the levels again, to earn more money, so I could get all the upgrades at maximum level. I also got all the bonuses that could be purchased for the level. I kept all the customers happy, didn't lose any, and played it over and over, trying different techniques, but to no avail. You can bang your head against a wall, only so many times before you move on, or pass out. Time to move on. Disappointing. Show less

I'm not sure where to begin with this game it was just simply awful. The graphics were disgraceful even though the game required a higher resolution to play. The colors were dull and lifeless along with the characters. The basic premises is you're an over-worked manager at a restaurant and decide to purchase your own country buffet. You do not serve your customers just clear plates and restock the buffet. You then purchase upgrades in the form of more tables and country decor. It has been a long time since I've played a game similar to this one. It has the feel of a very simple online game with very rudimentary controls. There is no indicator check mark for items you click on so you just have to assume you clicked correctly. For example if you click on a table to clear plates you just start walking in that direction but nothing indicates you clicked on the table. Same goes for the bus table you take the dirty plates to. You will need to go into the "kitchen" door that is actually marked as 'Training' to restock the buffet. There is also a 'Party Room' but I quit before I knew what it was for. I could barely stomach this game but for a few minutes and can't imagine that it would interest most people. Show less

It appears that these days the only real TM games we get are spin-offs of Diner Dash, or at least, follow the same rules and concepts. Countryside Buffet follows the same concept but has a slight variation. I lasted only 15 minutes of the demo before quitting out of sheer boredom.

It appears that these days the only real TM games we get are spin-offs of Diner Dash, or at least, follow the same rules and concepts. Countryside Buffet follows the same concept but has a slight variation. I lasted only 15 minutes of the demo before quitting out of sheer boredom.
The one good thing about this game was that the gameplay is much better. While Diner Dash if fast and frantic, Countryside Buffet is slower and more patient, and is easier to complete. Unlike Diner Dash, you are not overwhelmed with more customers than you can seat. They come in one at a time and sit down, eat and leave. That was what I really enjoyed, because it took the pressure off and you could relax a little.
The real downside to the game though is that you don’t serve food. All you do is clean up and collect the money over and over again, and because of this, the game is really boring. I couldn’t bear to play any longer when all I was doing was cleaning up.
The graphics are really cheap and outdated too, and seem to be from a game years older than this one. Everything was cheaply animated and did not stand out.
Despite the gameplay being better than Diner Dash, I really didn’t enjoy this game as much. It’s a real bore, and for that reason I don’t give a recommendation.
I could only play 15 minutes…

I have played a lot of horrible games before, and although this one is pretty boring it's not horrible. I think kids will enjoy this game. The basic's of the game are to seat the customers, preferably at a matching table of 2-4-6 etc. according to the party's number. After a couple of seconds of waiting the first dirty dishes appear and you must click on that table to remove them and then click on ...Show more

The basic's of the game are to seat the customers, preferably at a matching table of 2-4-6 etc. according to the party's number. After a couple of seconds of waiting the first dirty dishes appear and you must click on that table to remove them and then click on the tray to place the dirty dishes in it, you can only do 2 tables dishes at a time. When the customers raise their hands it's time to collect money and clear the table for the next customers, you also have to go to the kitchen and refill the buffet and dessert counters. After each round you get to buy upgrades like more tables or decorations. Show less
