Liberty Tree Tavern
(photos below)

This restaurant, located in Liberty Square, is a table service establishment which brings to life a little "taste" of the colonial period of United States history. The setup is a colonial tavern way back in the day, so to speak. The theming here is terrific, with vintage decorations and even old wavy, seeded glass in the windows. Lunch is served as ordered from the menu, while a character dinner is "all you care to eat" with a few optional extras in the forms of bottled/specialty drinks and desserts (cherry pie and ice cream is included).

Liberty Tree has decent food, but it certainly isn't among the "better" offerings at WDW. In my opinion, the all you care to eat situation is better than the menu items, but this is based on a visit in January 2006 at lunch (see last photo below), as well as another lunch back when both lunch and dinner were the same all you care to eat setup. Though I'm not overly excited about the taste of the food, I am very pleased with the restaurant itself--do consider stopping by while visiting the Magic Kingdom. Characters (Minnie, Goofy, and the crew) appear at dinner only, lunch is character-free.

Please note that this establishment has been in operation at the Magic Kingdom for quite some time now, and there are a few "quirks." The main annoyance here is the restroom facilities. To access them, you go upstairs where you'll have a nice elevated view of the reception area. Unfortunately, there's only room for two folks at a time--and with the popularity of this venue, you may find that there's a wait for the restroom.
