This was the best dinner we had at Disney World! My mouth is watering just thinking about how good everything was! When you are ready to be seated they call your name saying "Hear Ye, Hear Ye" which was cool and all the servers were dressed as if it were Colonial America. We sat in the Ben Franklin room, I loved the overall theme and atmosphere of the restaurant. Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive.
For dinner you have a family-style, all-you-can-eat thanksgiving type meal. First you get rolls and salad. I could make a meal just off of that. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp and the dressing was tasty! The rolls were warm and the butter had a yummy flavor. For your dinner they bring out Pork, Beef, Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Mac and Cheese, green beans, and seasonal vegetables. Everything on the table was delicious! The beef was mouth-watering, by far the best I have ever tasted in my life! The stuffing was magnificent! The Mashed Potatoes were perfect and I don't know what they do to the gravy but that stuff is amazing! The Mac and Cheese tasted delicious and cheesy, the spices they put on the green beans gave it an exceptional taste, and the seasonal vegetables were great too!For dessert you get a delicious apple cake and Ice cream.If I could only have one meal everyday for the rest of my life, dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern would be it!
Remember to make a reservation early in advance to ensure a table, you don't want to miss out on this! Also if you are staying at Disney for multiple days look into the Dining Plan's I promise they will save you tons of money!
A cool oasis on a hot day.
Although crowded, the reception was quick, the seating fast - we did have a reservation.
The endless glasses of iced tea were welcome on a hot, hot day.
Something for everyone here. Â The traditional Turkey dinner and Yankee pot roast were the favorites of the table.
The youngsters enjoyed their burgers, and wolfed down the desserts.
I loved this place. I went to a family style restaurant (Garden Grille) before and was pretty disappointed for dinner. The portions were tiny and food took forever to come to the table. I was a little hesitant to try this one out.
I am glad I did though. This was one of the better meals I had on my trip. They do a little introduction to call you for seating ("Hear Ye, Hear Ye") which was nice but you could tell at the end of the night, the cast members were getting tired of it.
For dinner, it's all Thanksgiving items. you start with a salad with vinaigrette dressing. My mom is not big on salads and she loved it. The turkey was delicious, the beef and pork weren't very tender and I would rate those as passable. The sides were root vegetables, mashed potatoes/gravy and mac n' cheese. The mac was awesome! I had two bowls of it and I'm not ashamed to admit it. The dessert was great as well. Vanilla ice cream with a cake. Yum!
Get the Patriot's Punch. It was an orange slushy this night and it was covered under the dining plan (just not the souvenir mug). I ended up shelling out the $3.99 for a good sized glass mug though. It makes a great souvenir and it's marked for the Liberty Tree Tavern, not some generic glass that's sold at 300 different places on site.
The best part was that we finished dinner right before the Electric Parade started. We walked out and had a perfect spot to watch the festivities. Great place and I'll definitely be back.
If you don't make your Disney dining options six months in advance your dining options are very limited. Â I didn't want our lunch to involve an overpriced, disappointing hamburger from one of the depressing pavilions so I called Disney Dining to see if there were any openings. Â
I had never eaten at Liberty Tavern before, but I really enjoyed my meal! Â A food snob could tear apart the flaws in this meal, but for theme park food I was pleasantly surprised how good our meal was! Â We ordered the Patriot's Platter as our meal. Â There are cheaper options on the menu, but we liked the idea of an all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving dinner since we had been walking around the park all day and just wanted to eat and relax. Â
We started off our meal with a light and simple salad and then moved onto a Thanksgiving feast of turkey, pork, roast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, a variety of vegetables and dessert. Â Since it was my birthday our waiter surprised me with a cupcake at the end of our meal!
At $35 a person this meal wasn't cheap, but what do you expect from a park that sells $9 sodas? Â For an all-you-can-eat sit down meal, with no lines and air conditioning I would gladly pay the $35 again.
As far as Magic Kingdom restaurants, this is the kind of place that you'd definitely enjoy--even outside the Disney context.
Nevertheless, it's all American--the portion sizes were big enough that we shared an appetizer and a BLT and we were stuffed afterwords!
The Crab and Lobster dip is delicious and creamy. I don't know if that's what they had in revolutionary Massachusetts/Virginia/wherever, but it sure did taste like a revolution in my mouth.
The BLT is special--it's not your standard crispy bacon, but instead thick-cut savoury bacon.
The best part about this experience? My waitress was the mother of a friend who went to the same elementary school as me. The magic of Revolutionary USA!
We had a reservation at this place. Â We admittedly walked in 3-4 minutes late. Â After waiting in a ~long~ line to speak to one hostess who was actually helping customers, we were handed a buzzer and asked us to wait. Â And, wait and wait and wait we did. Â
When we realized we were waiting longer than the walk-in customers, we walked up and asked what was going on. Â The hostess then told us that because we checked in for our reservation late that we were "back of the bus". Â
Jen from Spokane made this experience worse by being completely unapologetic and rude. Â She said we were required under Disney Dining Terms to check in 15 minutes ahead of our reservation. Â And, that we were next. Â We weren't next. Â We waited and waited and waited some more. Â I felt penalized for having the gall to ask the status of our seats.
After speaking to Jen, I think Disney should rename this place the "Kompliance Kitchen" or maybe "Lunch for Lawyers". Â It was a FAR FAR cry from the happiest place on earth. Â And, the food was marginal at best.
Priced perfectly in my opinion. Our waitress Cathy was absolutely awesome. Great recommendations. She was great with kids.
Chicken noodle soup was good. Had the salad entre with cranberries - loved it. The chocolate deseret was really good - waitress suggested substituting chocolate sauce with extra caramel cause I'm not a huge chocolate fan - it was delicious!
I really liked our meal at Liberty Tree Tavern and would definitely return. We had the crab and spinach dip and the clam chowder for appetizers and the pot roast and pilgrim's feast for entrees and we enjoyed everything. I also had some of Martha Washington's chocolate cake for dessert, but that wasn't quite as good as everything else. The service wasn't bad and it was a bit faster than some of our other Disney meals. I really liked the theme of the restaurant and thought it was a great place to eat lunch!
Review Source:Easily my favorite restaurant in Magic Kingdom. Lunch has a regular menu featuring burgers, sandwiches, salad and pasta. The cost is very reasonable for a sit down option in a theme park. I love the ooey gooey toffee cake desert and the sugar free raspberry sorbet dessert is amazing! Dinner is served family style and includes traditional American fare like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes etc... This place is always crowded and even with reservations I have waited an hour for a table. I have never had a bad meal here and will keep coming back!
Review Source:This is arguably your best lunch option for dining inside the Magic Kingdom, short of scoring a coveted table at Be My Guest, the Beauty and the Beast themed eatery in the newly expanded Fantasyland.
Currently, the bar for in-the-park eats inside the Magic Kingdom is not high, as you have probably gathered if you have already eaten any Disney counter service meal.
Located in Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom and directly across from the Hall of Presidents, Liberty Tree Tavern is a colonial-period restaurant that requires reservations. Â It offers several "healthier" options when ranked against the mountains of pizza and fried food on offer at most of the counter service spots in the park.
Best options at lunch included a turkey lunch (a baby-Thanksgiving) with the fixings or the catch of the day, which in our case was a generous salmon salad with arugula.
From our experience  this spot, and Tony's (to a lesser degree) were the better in park options for a sit down meal inside Magic Kingdom. Â
Its Disney Dining, so standards are different, but do at least know that you don't have to stare down the face of another chicken nugget or french fry.
Even better, if you can bust a move, opportunities improve immensely.  If you can park hop and can commit time to going offsit for a better Magic Kingdom meal, take a quick boat or Monorail outside Main Street to one of the Disney Resorts easily reachable and close by Magic Kingdom Park.  We  recommend Ohana or Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort, or Artist's Point or Whispering Canyon (very kid friendly) at the Wilderness Lodge. Â
Again, keeping expectations in line, you can have a memorable meal.
A solid choice for Magic Kingdom dining. There are several good sit down restaurants at this park (all need reservations) and this is one of them with reasonable prices and an array of options. Also some healthy options for those who like to keep to their lifestyle while in a theme park or on vacation.
I dined here with my parents while they were in town visiting. We had reservations for 12:20 but arrived early abd they ended up seating us within 5 minutes of checking in. Which when traveling with kids can make a huge difference! So that was greatly appreciated.
I had The Colony salad which was fabulous! An entire grilled chicken breast on spring mix lettuce with fresh apples and dried cranberries with a sweet vinaigrette on the side. It was a very filling salad. My little boy was getting close to nap so I knew his minutes were narrowing down in the cooperating department so I asked if I could bring my stroller to the table and they happily agreed to let me! I ordered an order of cheese sticks for him bc healthy meal would not have worked for him by this point. He loved them. My dad ordered the turkey plate which he cleaned his plate.
Service was nice and quick! I will go back again.
Located directly across from the Hall Of Presidents they make a valiant effort at being period correct, make sure and look at the windows as the glass is handmade and amazing.
We ate dinner there which features a fixed menu served family style which is all you can eat. Dinner began with Declaration Salad ,Tossed mixed greens with house made dressing which was pretty tasteless a disappointing start. It was followed up with the main course which consisted of Roasted turkey breast, carved beef, sliced pork, mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, parsnips and carrots, green beans, mac and cheese and brown gravy. Here's where it got better, everything was very good but the cornbread dressing was terrific. It ended with Johnny Appleseed's Cake, white cake filled with apples and Craisins dried cranberries, topped with ice cream and it was the highlight of the meal.
If you need a break from the madness which is WDW this is a good choice but bring your wallet as it's a whopping $35 per person... Yikes!
Enjoy!
We came here for lunch twice on our most recent visit and zero has changed food wise and that's a good thing. Â Still the same old predictable turkey and pot roast with very good mashed potatoes and green beans.
A few things worth noting:
1. Â Don't forget that if you come for lunch you order a la carte from a menu where as dinner is served as an all you can eat family style Thanksgiving meal. Â So if you're not into traditional Thanksgiving type food a dinner here is not what you want.
2. Â The children's menu is 100% customizable so that if you child loves apples you can get two sides of those and skip any vegetables or soup and vice versa.
3. Â The servers are under tremendous pressure to turn tables at lunch so don't be surprised if they start badgering you about when they can bring your dessert out or in the case of our one daughter, who eats very slow, just drop the ice cream off without saying anything to melt at the table when she was barely half way done with her turkey.
They seem to be trying to get you in and out in under 45 minutes tops and it's a bit infuriating considering that the food itself is very good but it can get ruined by Disney's great "service" of trying to turn tables too fast.
Overall I would go back in a heartbeat as the food still outweighs any service issues.
I read all over the place that this was the best restaurant in MK and it actually wasn't too bad at all. No wait when we went for lunch (which was great!) and they had super cute little coloring pages that I took advantage of while I was waiting for our waitress and food. The menu isn't too large (at lunchtime) and had some great options. Turkey, burgers, salads, pasta, and stew. Something for everyone!
The location was nice - we went in and came out and were legit RIGHT near the start of the parade, so we just walked up to the rope and waited for it to start. Score!
The service was good and quick! I don't know if it's like that all the time, but it was a nice break from walking around and eating the other park food.
I actually LOVED the salad I had. It was the colony salad I think? The honey-shallot dressing was super sweet and great compliment to the nuts and cheese. It was way more expensive than a salad should be, but at disney I guess it wasn't too bad. The portion was huge, too. My husband got a burger.. and it was alright. Not the greatest, but not the worst.
Stop in if you're looking for a good bite to eat in a good lunch-y location.
As of this writing, this may be the best full-service restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. Â
Unfortunately, that's not saying a lot. Â
Background: Â There's only 5 total as of this writing (Be our Guest is soon to be added to the list, where Disney will start down the slippery slope of serving alcohol to the Magic Kingdom masses--a move which is probably causing Walt to turn in his grave as I type...). Â
If you want to strip out the food places that don't have face characters with a $30 picture built in (i.e. - Cinderella's Royal Table), or if you don't want a character buffet (i.e. - Crystal Palace, though the buffet isn't too bad), it's either Tony's, the Plaza, or the Liberty Tree.
I've never mustered up the courage to eat at Tony's. Â It gets fairly universally bad reviews. Â I'd probably steer away from it altogether. Â The Plaza is okay, but underwhelming. Â For the price, you might as well go quick service. Â But, you can make somewhat of a case for the Liberty Tree Tavern.
I've eaten here at least twice in my life... maybe three times. Â Here's my take.
Food: Â Good, though better for adults. Â People call this a "Thanksgiving Dinner" type of place. Â They're right. Â But, I hate turkey, and I'm not quite that fond of Thanksgiving Dinner, even on it's proper night in November. Â I'd recommend the freedom pasta... Â and if you want a light but tasty lunch, ask them to split it for you. Â You'll get a good size sit down meal at a quick service price, and you won't feel like crap afterwards. Â The freedom pasta is actually pretty good!
Value for the Price: Â I think it's WAY too expensive at Dinner time, plus I don't want to eat a bunch of damn heavy food in an "all you can eat" fashion. Â That, and it's like 36 bucks before the tip. Â I think you get way more bang for your buck by eating here at lunch (for like less than half the price), and I also think the food options are better at lunch! Â If you're on the Disney Dining Plan--there are worse options, but there are much better ones as well.
Ambiance / Location: Â Welcome to the Liberty Tree Tavern! Â Would you be seated in the "Crying" or "No Crying" section? Â Just kidding... Â the whole restaurant is the crying section! Â You're in the Magic Kingdom. Â Sorry to get your hopes up. Â But seriously, folks. Â Generally speaking, it seems to be a lot quieter than a lot of other options, especially if you can get a seat away from the main large room with the throngs of people waiting for a table.
Also, the theme works surprisingly well with the Liberty Square theme. Â (Probably my least favorite theme of all Disney park "lands." Â It's like a colonial urban sprawl of Disney World. Â I'd take the Blue Bayou and Cafe Orleans in New Orleans square ANY DAY over Liberty Square). Â But that being said, it works really well for where it's at.
Extras: Â They used to have the Disney colonial characters dressed up walking around in the evening. Â This was super awesome, and they should bring it back. Â (I imagine they don't because they don't have to...)
Reservations: Â Like any other Disney restaurant, if you don't have an ADR (Advance Dining Reservation), you're a SUCKA and you're wasting your valuable park ticket time waiting for a Disney restaurant. Â Call 404-WDW-DINE and make your reservations AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Â This is a no brainer. Â If you don't do this, you only have yourself to blame.
All in all, the Liberty Tree represents a good alternative to counter service for the price in the Magic Kingdom (at lunch), and the food's OK. Â (They still need to bring back the colonial characters, though.) Â I'd probably do it again.
Great! I have eaten here before and the it was wonderful. We had taken advantage of the buffet sit down with everything polished off. The salad was great the dressing made it good. The main meal was meats, mashed(which I loved), green beens, squash, gravy, and Mac-cheese. The desert was amazing ice cream and fruit cake. I loved it in general and rolled out!!!
Review Source:Best food I've had in the Magic Kingdom.
They serve good quality meats (sliced beef, turkey, pork) and I was impressed with all the sides:  stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans.  It's  all served family style (like an all you can eat buffet served at your table). Not the best meal I've ever had but certainly the best food at Disney outside the Epcot world showcase.
Also, not a bad place to grab dinner before the fireworks. Step outside and cross the street for a good view of the parade route an fireworks shows (although you won't be able to see the stage at the front of Cinderella's Castle.
A perennial family favorite in The World.
The meal is served family style, with platters of meat (turkey, ham and beef) served with classic sides such as mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing and green beans. Â Everything was prepared well and served with classic Disney service. Â Our servers have always been quick with refills, smiles and camera shutter buttons. Â
The yeast rolls are absolutely delicious. Â It's almost impossible to eat only one. Our family of five adults did very well with the platters, and our server just kept bringing us additional servings of whatever we wanted.
The nighttime parade rolls right by the restaurant, so it's actually a great place to eat while the parades are going on. Â You might need to get up and move to a window or a doorway, but if you're not 100% interested in the parade, it's nice to catch a short glimpse.
The bathrooms are up a steep set of stairs, good to remember if you have some difficulty getting around.
I honestly wasn't expecting much, but when you're at the Magic Kingdom, a quick scan of reviews reveals the Liberty Tree Tavern to be the best lunch option. OK, fine. I ordered the roast pork sandwich, and was surprised to see a very appetizing-looking sandwich composed of multigrain bread, quality greens, and pork. Hey, it looked great, and I was thinking I was going to have to give this place at least 4 stars.
But there was one major problem. The sandwich contained mayonnaise. Anyone who has read my reviews knows of my visceral hate for the white goop, especially when it ruins an otherwise perfectly good sandwich. Why can't places use a tapenade, pesto, or just plain old olive oil? Or in this case, a cranberry relish would have been phenomenal with the roast pork, and in keeping with the colonial theme of Liberty Square. Yes, I know I'm in the minority here, especially at a place like the Magic Kingdom - romping vacation grounds of mayo-loving Flyover Country, U.S.A.
Even though I consider it a high culinary crime, my problem is not that the sandwich contained shiny white goo. It's that the menu did not disclose that fact. If it had, I would have asked for it without, or ordered something else. I'm a firm believer in the idea that a menu should tell you what the dish you are ordering is composed of. A menu certainly shouldn't hide the existence of something so polarizing as mayonnaise.
The Liberty Tree Tavern is located in.... Surprise! Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom. Â The theme of this restaurant is (wait for it) Surprise! The liberation of the colonies from England in the 1700s. The costumes are colonial and tri cornered hats, mop caps and long white aprons abound. All that's missing is the Liberty Bell you ask? Â Guess again, it is right outside. Â
The theme is fun and the staff are efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. Â The food is that of old New England and the portions are hearty. We started with an appetizer of the tavern fried cheese with marinara. Â Anything with fried cheese is good by me, but I call it like I see it, and these were triangle cheese sticks. My entree consisted of The New England Pot Roast. Â The meat was tender and delicious served in a wine and mushroom sauce. Â It came with mashed potatoes and veggies. The portion was more than adequate. Â My girl got the Pilgrim's Feast which was pretty much Thanksgiving dinner. Â It was also very good. Was this some blow your socks off alien fusion meal? Â No It was good old meat and potatoes done very well. Â We split the toffee cake for dessert and it was also good.
For those who are not a big fan of stairs, the restrooms here are on the second floor, but there are ground floor restrooms just outside in Liberty Square.
I loved this place! The family style service (all you can eat), the yummy food, the decor, and even they way they call out your party for seating were all great.
Traditional colonial American food (like eating a small Thanksgiving meal) with seating in a particular part of a colonial house (we were in the "library" room). Â You get served as many servings as you like and the kids love the huge bowl of cobbler with ice cream.
Next time I visit Disney World, I will for sure dine here again.
Loved our delightful experience at the Liberty Tree Tavern on our first day in Walt Disney World. Â We were on the Disney Dining Plan, so we didn't have sticker shock at the price, and it definitely seems like the best option for table service in the Magic Kingdom.
I'm actually a little burnt out on the standard Thanksgiving food, which is what you get here - the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans and such, all in family style at our table rather than buffet line. Â I maxed out on the mac & cheese - among the best I've ever had - and the deliciously rare beef brisket. Â Dessert was a decent fluffy Craisin apple cake that they misnamed an apple crisp.
We had made a reservation and were seated 20 minutes late, but that seems to be par for the course at the Disney table service restaurants. Â Super crowded inside and outside the lobby, and the two-stall ladies' room was an absolute train wreck full of frustrated dinner guests. Â But they seated us at a prime table, from which we had a great view of the fireworks show, albeit through colonial frosted window panes. Â
All in all, pretty great. Â I'd go back.
The first thing you should know about this place is that it is all you can eat. You don't really order anything, they just bring it to your table. And it's all American comfort food. Not gonna find enchiladas, chow mein, or matzo ball soup here. The second thing you should know is that it is $36 per person for dinner (not sure if there is a break for kids, but I would guess so). I would imagine that is enough info for some of you to decide to move on. You need not read further.
But if you are still not deterred, i would recommend you try the place (if you don't have many other options and you're pretty hungry). Inside the park, the options are pretty limited, in my opinion. The food was pretty comforting, as it turned out, if a tad uneven. It includes nonalcoholic drinks, rolls, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, roast beef, roast pork, roast turkey and stuffing. gravy, dessert, and some veggies (though of course you don't have to eat them).
The rolls were freshly baked, fragrant, and yeasty, and accompanied by crack masquerading as honey whipped butter. The mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery, with some skins to make you think they were real potatoes, and the the mac and cheese was creamy and exceedingly cheesy. Just perfect. The green beans (haricot vert) were well done, had a nice crunch, and nicely garlicky.
The meats were all good but this is where the unevenness comes in. They turkey was well seasoned but a bit dry, which was not surprising since it was breast. We had two servings of the beef, which I think was maybe a london broil or top sirloin. The first order was a little tough and overcooked, but the second order was super tender, cooked to about medium. Not sure about the cut of pork, but the first order was great, well seasoned, and tender, but the second order was overcooked and too salty.
The dessert was yellow cake with some berries baked into it, topped with ice cream. The description really doesn't do it justice though because it was delicious. A perfect way to end the meal. Â
I thought it was a pretty good meal overall. I had to be rolled out of the place. Good thing there was still a lot of walking yet to be done in the park before the night was over!
I try to make it a goal of mine to try at least one different restaurant or meal when I head to Disney World. The Liberty Tree Tavern has been on my radar for a while and I made it a point of going on my last trip there.
I arrived during the busy lunch hour and had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated. Something I love about this restaurant is that every room is themed with a different person from Colonial America. I was lucky enough to be seated in the Thomas Jefferson room.
For my meal I got the Pilgrims' Feast which is essentially a Thanksgiving meal. It was turkey with gravy, green beans, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. The meal was great. A much welcomed change from the usual burgers and chicken fingers that you find in Magic Kingdom. My favorite part of the meal had to be the stuffing. It was delicious, but I am partial to stuffings because I love it.
My friend got the cheeseburger with mushrooms and provolone cheese and thought it was great too. I had a bite of the burger and it was pretty good. The burger is much more gourmet than the ones you find at any of the quick service restaurants.
The make the meal even better I was given a free cupcake since it was my birthday. The cupcake was chocolately goodness.
Overall, I really liked the Liberty Tree Tavern. Next time I go I would like to try out the all you can eat dinner they offer.
I REALLY LOVED my meal here! Â What is not to love about Thanksgiving-style dinner served family style. Â They brought out plates of roasted beef, roast turkey, carved ham, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, fresh rolls with honey butter, and to end things, warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream.
The service was great, and the restaurant provided a comfortable place for us to sit down and relax after a long day at the park. Â I would absolutely come back again.
OMG! - Do you like Thanksgiving dinner? Â If the answer is yes, you must come to this family style restaurant in the Magic Kingdom! Â Since i have been here last they have changed their style of service. Â Instead of a menu with options when we ate at 4:30pm they offered family style food. Â
Which was okay with us!!
In short, Liberty Tree Tavern hits the spot after spending a long day walking around Disney and the service is awesome! Â The whole time we dined, our waitress never let a beverage go unfilled. Sometimes we had an extra glass waiting, that was how cool our waitress was. Â
My family of seven sat down and basically, there was just one thing to order and that was THE FEAST. Â I am making this word up but the food they brought was truly a feast. Â After explaining the place was now family style, the waitress prgressed to bring our food out and let me say she brought it out quickly. Â
There was a platter of piping hot meat (turkey, beef and ham) all beautifully presented around a mound of oh so yummy stuffing. There was a big bowl of mashed potatos and gravy, then a basket of soft fluffy rolls (the kind you have to eat 3 of), delectable green beans and a big cheesy bowl of macaroni and cheese. Â Can you say comfort food!
Anyhow, my family loved this placed. We chowed down and when we were done with our second, third and fourth helpings, the waitress brought us cherry cobbler with vanilla ice cream as if we had any room left. Â Â Can you say stuffed?? Â We had to go walk around more to wear off the meal! Â This was our second favorite meal at Disney with our absolute favorite being Jiko's. Â But darn, was that ever a good all- American meal!
Again, had I reviewed Liberty Tree Tavern in 2003, I would have given five stars. We had an early lunch reservation and were chosen to open the restaurant by ringing the bell. We received a commemorative certificate for doing so and had an excellent meal (Salmon on pumpkin bread . . . one of my favorite Disney meals that has disappeared from the menu.) This was the hey day of the DDP, back when you received an app, entree, and dessert, instead of just an entree and dessert. Our meal in 2003 was one of the most memorable we've had, so we opted to return again a few years later.
Sadly, it's just not the same. Dinner is now a set menu with no choice whatsoever. Lunch will provide you options, and the Pot Roast and Pilgrim's Feast are my husband's favorites, but how are you supposed to hit up the park after a huge Thanksgiving feast? LOL The food is pretty heavy, so keep that in mind before making a reservation.
This is place is just OK. The service is fast and friendly. The food isn't too bad nothing special. If your looking for the basic turkey day style menu items this is the place. The atmosphere inside is nice and welcoming.
If your looking for a quick bite for lunch go to Columbia House instead of here. If you do eat here use your Disney dining vouchers because the real price is not worth it.
We went during perfect timing! We sat right as they were switching from lunch to dinner so we not only got the all you can eat dinner but we also got the characters! The characters are only around for lunch but we had the perfect time. We were one of the only tables in the dining room and got a lot of extra attention from the characters dressed up in their patriotic clothing!
We were expecting mediocre food but were very pleasantly surprised. We had a great waiter, super friendly, and all of the food was brought out promptly. You gotta love all you can eat when they bring it in big bowls right to your table! Traditional American Thanksgiving food, but my favorite was the mac & cheese. I've heard it's Stouffer's but all I know is it was amazing!
Family style Thanksgiving dinner every day of the week.
We liked it because it was family style but the food was only ok. Â The vegetarian choice was not so good and the mac and cheese could be better. Â However, the mashed potatoes were fantastic!
For dinner you get ham, beef, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese, stuffing, rolls with honey butter. For dessert, you get apple cobbler with a mound of vanilla ice cream.
The location is great and the servers were too.
Even on a fairly empty week in Disney World, this was the only place my friend and I could find sit-down fare for dinner in the Magic Kingdom.
They had recently changed their menu to a standard family-style, All You Can Eat, Thanksgiving type meal. Â All of the food was excellent and we were definitely allowed to keep asking for more (even of the meat!). Â It did take a lot to get our waiter's attention though and we would have probably had even more to eat, if we didn't have to worry about him going missing for 10-15 minutes at a time.
The meal cost us around $40 a person and while not our first choice in dining at Disney World, the food was very appetizing!
We went there twice while we were at Disney. Â The first time was a great experience - we ate dinner much later at night, and our server was attentive and friendly. Â The food was pretty good, we really liked the flank steak, and our server happily brought us more.
The second time wasn't as great an experience. Â Our server was hurried and didn't even tell us about the menu before placing the food on our table. Â She checked on us only a couple times during our dinner, and at first I thought it was because they were really busy, but I later saw her chatting it up with the other servers in the back. Â The food was still good, but the second experience really dropped it down a star.
I went here on either my first or second visit to Disney World. Â I didn't ever have the desire to return. Â Sorry Patriots, you didn't ring my bell.
Sit down Dining with a Colonial feel and menu. Â ( Our City Tavern in Philly would laugh at you ) my bad?
Maryland Crab Cake, New England Clam Chowder, Yankee Pot Roast, A "Pilgrim's feast" of Roasted Turkey & Trimmings, William Penn Chicken Pasta ...well you get their idea.
You need great food to keep one coming back in WDW where there are more restaurants to choose from than there are attractions!
I was hoping for a pleasant Thanksgiving-like feast, but once we were done w/ our meals, we weren't as satisfied as we have been with the dining meal plan thus far. Not to be greedy or wanting to be gluttonous, but when I read Thanksgiving feast on other reviews, I thought there might have been a bit more variety and a bit more proportioned dishes.
However, those 3 stars were for the food, but the experience has to be 5 stars. So you know, this is a character dining experience, and being kids at heart, my friends and I were super excited to be rubbin' elbows (paws, noses, tails what ever) with the famous Disney characters, and TRUST ME, if you want to make a kick out of spending time with them, they can be super fun when going around your table.
It seemed like the manager didn't want them (Chip, Dale, pluto n the gang) to come around us so much, but hey, we can't help it if we're the most enthusiastic customers in the restaurant (literally we were, singing the chip and dale song every time they came around cheering every time pluto made a funny gesture). So why can't two characters be at the same table at once? (we wanted to get a pic w/ chip and dale since my bro Jan and I were twins for the day) Geez, have more characters then! We felt bad that Dale got in trouble for serving us and sitting down with us (but hey we enjoyed it so why come up and ruin it for us Mr. manager?)
But really no matter how old you are, you have to try a character dining experience. It's always worth it :)
This restaurant is located across from Tom Sawyer's Island and near the Hall of Presidents. The theming isn't quite as good here as some other restaurants, but we ate in Ben Franklin's room and enjoyed the little details, like the kite and the franklin stove.
It seems the pot roast is the thing to get here. If I had one complaint about Disney's nicer dining options, it would be that they are very protein and potatoes based: they seldom come with veggies, no matter where I ate. The pot roast was braised for over 24 hours, the portion was generous and tender, but it said it came with spring vegetables, which turned out to be the carrots in the sauce, and mashed potatoes, not actually extra veggies. After a few days in the park you'd do just about anything for veggies (and I don't even like them usually).
The air conditioning here is powerful: a plus on a hot day. Beyond that, the meal was not very memorable.
Like all Disney restaurants, its pricey but you're paying for the overall experience. And if you can, make reservations in advance.
