The Best Restaurant in Magic Kingdom: Liberty Tree Tavern

Tucked away in Liberty Square, Liberty Tree Tavern is a favorite among guests — and for a good reason! Home to an all-you-care-to-enjoy menu, Liberty Tree Tavern offers comfort food that will please even some of the pickier eaters in the family. Inspired by the days of Colonial America, Liberty Tree Tavern is a living homage to the founding fathers, complete with all the fixings. You can smell the delicious roasted turkey, pot roast, and pork served with mashed potatoes and vegetables as you enter the restaurant.

Plus, the meal isn’t finished with the Patriot Platter. Don’t forget to try their Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream! You might wonder why we selected this as our favorite at Magic Kingdom when there are so many table-service options. Overall, we find it offers guests a pretty great value for the cost!
