Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Location, characters, portion size and quality
Cons:	Inadequate Bathrooms for ladies

We ate lunch in early February [an 11:30 ADR] and it may have been the best meal of the trip. My wife and 2 youngest went ahead to check in as the eldest & I waited in Thunder Mtn's queue. (you won't be seated until your whole party is present) We reunited just as the town cried called us. The total wait was @ 30 minutes for my wife and youngest 2 [no wait at all for the eldest & I].

I'd read that characters were no more, but was thrilled to be greeted at our table by a hug from Minnie. Chip & Dale and Pluto rounded out the character detail and they helped occupy the kids as we enjoyed our meal.
The food quality of the preset menu was high, simple salad bowl with warm rolls and butter, followed by a platter of beef brisket, turkey & pork over mashed potatoes & stuffing accompanied by a bowl piping hot mac & cheese and a second bowl piled high with fresh steamed green beans. Dessert was a platter of apple crumble covered with a scoop of ice cream for each patron. When the middle child lament her lack of extra ice cream, our server wasted no time offering to bring more [with Mom's consent].

I especially loved the Liberty Tree Tavern mugs and wish I'd tried to buy one.

The line to use the ladies room was remarkable. I was able to get in and out of the gentleman's restroom after lunch with no problem.
we'll be returning!!!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Delicious food, good service
Cons:

This was the best meal we ate while at Disney World. Everything was delicious and tasted homemade. The service was also very good. It does get a little crowded in the waiting area but we didn't have to wait long. Everything considered, it was a wonderful Disney dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Service, Selection
Cons:	crowded, a bit loud

This place may be crowded and loud (because of the crowd), but the food is good and so is the service! Food is delivered all-you-care-to-eat right to your table, dessert included. It's not the finest food around, but it's worth the price, especially if you have kids.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	convenient location
Cons:	food, long long wait for service

Talk about over-booking. We arrived 25 minutes ahead of our ADR and were FINALLY seated 40 minutes after our ADR. Ok, so a long wait, but we were looking forward to a delicious, satisfying meal....NOT. If I wanted Stouffer's prevously frozen turkey microwaved and dumped on lumpy mashed potatoes I could have made that at home. (Maybe it wasn't microwaved, but it tasted like it) The bread was not very fresh and the butter packets were frozen, so just try to make those 2 work together! That meal will be my first and very last at the Liberty Tree.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	setting
Cons:	family style food

We have eaten here twice: the lunch menu was wonderful; the dinner family-style was not so much. it was very salty and starchy. We love the environment, but the bathroom is small and the noise level can get really loud.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Food was good
Cons:	Can be noisy

I read the previous reviews and I was nervous about eating here. It was my Father's birthday and we took him here for lunch. We arrived and were seated in less than 5 minutes. The server was nice and very friendly. The food came quickly and was served pipping hot and was excellent. My dad had the pot roast, my sister had chicken and dumplings and the rest of us had the roast beef sandwich. Everything was really good. The wait staff came and brought a cupcake with a candle and sang to him. Very good experience.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Good food, plenty of it
Cons:	Bathroom access difficult

We had tickets to the Halloween party, so wanted a table service in Magic Kingdom. The selection was a bit on the limited side, you get brought what's on the menu, no real choices, but the food was very good, and they brought more of whatever ran out at a good pace. The all-you-can-eat of a buffet, without having to jostle in line to get food, best of both worlds. And, extra cake for hubby's birthday.

They could definately use better bathroom facilities. Up stairs (which are pretty steep, and me with a cranky knee), and just a couple small bathrooms, there was a line to get in, the only line for a bathroom I ran into in ten days in the parks.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Good food, fun, all-you-can-eat
Cons:	Bathrooms limited and up stairs

I was pretty disappointed with the limited number of table service meals at Magic Kingdom. (I got spoiled reserving EPCOT first, I suppose.) Made reservations, we were seated within five minutes of checking in. The food was good, service was excellent. This was hubby's birthday dinner, and we were in the MK for the Halloween party that night, and I didn't want to have to worry about changing parks. Will definitely do again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Location in the MK, SpectroMagic at night
Cons:	Food, service

We were seated within 30 mins of our 7:30 PM ADR and were impressed with the authentic decor and seat near the door as we planned to step outside for SpectroMagic when it passed by. Our waitress seemed rushed and harried, brought a basket of rolls and drinks within about 10 minutes. Salad brought out first and it was truly disgusting...limp, rotten leaf lettuce and iceberg lettuce had started to turn pink/brown. I pointed this out to the waitress when she returned about 10 mins later but she only argued with me that it was fine. (?!) The main course was turkey/roast beef/pork loin with dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans...all very skimpy servings. The pork loin was tasty with the sauce, the green beans were not good. My son wanted extra dressing and it took her 15 mins to get that...he really had given up by then. The dessert (apple cobbler/ice cream) was brought out and the ice cream had melted it into a mushy mess...not appetizing. We had requested a birthday celebration for my 2 children and this is how it went: the waitress brought out "happy anniversary" cards and she and 2 others sang..then she said "I don't know if its your birthday or not but there ya go" Sometime during the meal, Spectro passed by and hubby/kids stepped outside to watch which was the highlight. Hubby had always wanted to eat at the LTT and we were all very disappointed in the food, the bad service, and the fact that we wasted a TS here. NOT recommended unless you like a surly waitress and bad food.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Nice location

I have mixed feelings about this place. The first time I was there, I was extremely happy with the service, the food and the interaction with the characters. The second time, was very disappointing. We had an ADR for 7, and showed up 15 minutes early. We waited 45 minutes before they seated us. Our server was less than friendly, the food came to us barely warm and what is it with that lumpy flavorless gravy??? The best part of this meal was the characters. It's a lovely place inside, but if I will go there again...I'm not sure. It could be that I caught them on a bad night.

My five year old son and I enjoyed our lunch here very much. The pot roast was excellent and my son was trilled to get fruit as his side dish. Service was good, but very fast paced. I loved the Strawberry shortcake. The restrooms here are tiny and upstairs, plan ahead and use the nearby restrooms in the park before you sit down.

This is one of those places that we've just always done well. Our food has always been excellent with massive portions. Though we've noticed a shrinking menu, we've always loved the comfort food served at Liberty Tree. Service has alwasy been excellent.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Atmosphere
Cons:	everything else

We arrived for dinner at 4:20 at the LTT on July 13, 2009.
We were seated in less than 5 minutes in the Ben Franklin Room.
I asked some questions about the "set" menu.
The set menu for dinner consists of salad with a strawberry vinergarette dressing, Turkey, Beef Brisket, and Ham.
The sides were macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, seasoned green beans, and stuffing aka dressing with gravy. The desert was apple pie ala mode. Everything was served family style.
The server took our drink orders and we asked for water in addition to our iced teas. She never brought the water.
I asked her about the menu and had some questions because I am a diabetic and I am also on a plan to lose weight I was concerned about the sugars in the salad dressing and the "seasoned" green beans. The server hesitated and said " I don't know about the dressing... I said "Could I please have a little oil and vinegar instead?". She replied with " I will have to see what I can do about that... She clearly was disgusted with my requests. She rolled her eyes and acted put out. I also requested my green beans plain. This was the beginning of bad service ... She arrived at the table with about 2 dozen rolls and our iced teas and then she said ok and walked away. She placed the cruets of oil and vinegar next to me and made a HMMMPPHH sound. I thanked her for getting me the dressing. There was no response. We waited a long time for the entree and when it arrived it was barely warm. The turkey was ok. The rest of the food was flavorless and gross. I have had school cafeteria food that has had more flavor. The bad service added to my discontent. Then we got our check. OMG! We had to pay 15.00 for our dd3 and each of our dinners were 30.00. It was awful food. Awful service and I was highly disappointed. I am planning to contact Disney's Food and Beverage Department. Don't waste your time or money.

We had lunch here and the service was great. Our ADR time was 11:35 (shortly after it opens) and we were seated promptly. The menu offers good choices for everybody and the food was good. My Wm Penn chicken Pasta was very flavorful.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Mac & Cheese
Cons:	The Other Food

Outdated guidebooks will tell you this is a character meal - it no longer is.

We went for dinner and did the family-style thingymajig. The mac & cheese was great (it should be - it's stoufers) but everything else was just blech.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Theme, Location
Cons:	Food

Without characters about the only really positive part of Liberty Tree Tavern is that it is a sit down restaurant in Magic Kingdom. We thoroughly enjoyed the characters and hope they return.

The food, to me, was okay. My husband thoroughly enjoyed it. My children enjoyed parts of it. Because it was served family style, we all ate the same thing. We do not enjoy the children's menus at any of the restaurants, so this was a nice feature.

Cons:

Liberty Tree Tavern is one of our favorite MK table service places. I loved the charector interaction (when they were still there, they are not as of now) and the good home-style food was wonderful. The strawberry vinegarette dressing is one of my favorite in the world and their mac & cheese is to die for. The portions are plentyful and since its family style if you want more just ask. We will definately return to Liberty Tree again (even without the charectors).

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Best TS in Magic Kingdom, great food, great location
Cons:	bathrooms are tiny, upstairs and totally cramped!

On June 16th, my family dined at LTT for lunch. My wife ordered the Pilgrim's Feast and I ordered the New England Pot Roast. My wife said everything was great with her lunch. She had sliced white turkey, herb stuffing, mashed potatoes and green beans. Considering the small sandwich I received at Le Cellier for the same $14.99, this was a deal! Everything looked great and really enjoyed the bite of everything she forked over!

The pot roast was better than I expected. It was very good. The meat was extremely tender, well seasoned and NOT fatty at all. I hate pot roast that is loaded with tons of fat. There was none to be found on this roast. The cabernet sauce was perfect and the mashed potatoes were great. They tasted like real mashed potatoes and not instant (something I was concerned about and, to be honest, expecting). I honestly can't remember what the garden vegetable was right now, but whatever it was, I enjoyed it because I ate everything on my plate that afternoon.

My son had the cheeseburger from the kids menu and it was the requisite kid's menu cheeseburger. No big surprise there.

For dessert, we had the strawberry shortcake and it was good. The sliced strawberries were fresh and not swimming in a heavy red syrup. Instead, they had been sugared and created their own light syrup - very much what you would expect if you were to cut up fresh strawberries, put them in a bowl and lightly sugar them. For me, what really made this dessert was the shortcake. The shortcake was a strawberry flavor. It wasn't like a strawberry cake mix, either. It was as though the cake had been made with fresh strawberries. It was moist, sweet and delicious all on its own. The cake was the shape of a small bundt cake with fresh sliced strawberries and syrup spooned over it and then topped with a dallop of fresh whipped cream. We all enjoyed it. Granted, this isn't the same caliber of dessert you'd expect from some place like California Grill, but for what it was, we all agreed that we'd order it again with no hesitation.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	family style, great location
Cons:

We've eaten here a number of times and are disappointed to hear it is no longer a character meal. My experiences were always as the character meal, so keep that in mind....

Since my family are not exotic eaters, we enjoy the 'thanksgiving' type food served here. We also enjoy the family style setup, so that we can ask for more of whatever our group likes. The food has always been hot and plentiful. I know my BIL loved the beef, others enjoyed the turkey and all enjoyed the mac and cheese and potatoes. THe salad and the yummy vinagarette were also a hit.

The atmosphere is quaint and can be a bit crowded sometimes. The characters were always fabulous.

We really enjoy the apple cobbler for dessert with ice cream. The waitstaff also gets into the theme and spirit.

one note- the bathrooms are upstairs and small.

This is a great stop especially on hot days at the MK when you need a break from the crowds and heat. Be sure and make an ADR, it is very difficult to get a walk in reservation here.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Simple good food will please most people; Strawberry salad dressing.
Cons:	Cranberry Sauce on the meat.

Overall this was a very good meal. We are a "meat and potatoes" family and this fit in perfectly. The highlight of our meal was by far was the strawberry dressing. The low point of the food was the excessive amounts of Cranberry sauce on the meats. If your family likes cranberries this is perfect, but since I was the only one that likes cranberries in our family it did not work well. The service was phenomenal, very quick, kept our drinks full and quickly brought out more of the foods we desired (including cranberry-less meat!!!).

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	hearty food
Cons:	hearty food

Without the characters, the only real draw is the food. However this is not the kind of food you want to be eating when it's 95 degrees outside. On a hot day the last thing I think of is a huge plate of turkey, stuffing, roast beef, gravy and all the fixings. Served family style it can take a long time to get seconds, especially when you're in a large group. We had 8 at our table and we should have asked for seconds as soon as the food came because it was all gone before everyone got some. Restrooms are up the stairs and very small, so be warned with those who can't do stairs or have small kids, restrooms are a pain to get in and out of. The real draw here was the characters and unless you really want good old comfort food, I'd stay away until they bring the characters back.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	good American style food, very filling, great price
Cons:	none

My favorite meal here is lunch. Love the turkey feast. The meat is real turkey, filling and potatoes, green beans, all very good, and lots of it. My most favorite is the strawberry shortcake with ice cream. This desert was changed and it is now with a pound cake and no ice cream. It used to be with a homemade shortcake...but I asked to add ice cream, and it was really good. The service is very good here.

We have dined at dinner, and it was very good also, and is a family style all you can eat. No more characters, which is a shame. I believe that a lot of folks go to Disney to see Mickey...and he is seen less and less...but at any rate, I love this restaurant. Eat here regularly on our vacations, and have NEVER had a bad meal or a bad server.

Are you looking for a nice place for a good dinner in Magic Kingdom? Do you love Thanksgiving? If you said yes to these questions, than Liberty Tree Tavern is for you. This table service in Liberty Square couples old world charm with family dinner. While reservations are tough to come by, you will not be disapointed. From the salad to the apple cobbler and everything in between you will enjoy your meal here!

Cons:	Very squished seating.

Some of the food, especially the dessert, was actually really good, but the majority of it was pretty so-so. I could get better at any restaurant here at home. And the seating area was uncomfortably cramped.

We ate here in 9/08. I must say I didn't have high expectations of this place since it's family style and has some stouffer's products. However, it was delicious! From the salad to the meats and side dishes everything was very good. We ate there right before MNSSHP started one night and we did get to see the characters in costumes as well as the host staff. They no longer have characters but there have been rumors that they are bringing them back. I think it definitely increases the draw to this restaurant. I would definitely eat here again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	a "family" style meal
Cons:	very small bathroom only on second floor

Dining at Liberty tree Tavern has become a family tradition for us. The home style presention of the food is nice and after spending the day wandering around the park it's nice to sit down, relax and have the at dinner at mom's experience. There's enough variety to please a picky eater. When dinig here, I've never been able to get a walkup seating, I've always had to get an adr. However, as busy as the place is, we've never felt rushed to finish our meal. Good service, great food.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Good Food and Character Interaction
Cons:	Noisy but you have to expect that

We enjoyed the Restaurant more than we thought we would. Food was better than expected and portions were large... plus you can always ask for more. Character interaction was excellent.
