In all of our trips, we've never eaten there. We are fans of the "meat and potato" meals (no fancy foodie food for us!). I've made us our first ADR for this for our next trip, but am waffling a bit. Is it worth it? Food decent? We try NEVER to go to MK in the evenings, so it would be a bit of a different schedule for us, but if the food is good, we'll make an exception. What do you all think?
Both my DW and I enjoy the Tavern and you wont go home hungry. The food is good but we do miss the characters.
Its a must for us when we attend MNSSHP.
Try the Yankee Pot Roast. It is so good and perfect for a meat and potato person!
We went twice the one trip but that was because we had extra credits and wanted to use them up before we lost them and this was open for a time frame we needed. I really really enjoy the food.
They call it the "New England Pot Roast" now and it is only available at lunch. It is very good. Unfortunately it is not available for the dinner service. This is a copy and paste of the dinner offerings:Quote:

DH is a meat & potatoe kind of guy and he likes it alot. We have our ressie for LTT for the night of MNSSHP.
Can't wait!
I ate there once and haven't gone back. Was not thrilled with the food. Many others I know don't like it either. I'd go to Crystal Palace instead.
We ate there a year ago and I really enjoyed the food. There is alot and you won't go away hungry!! :mickey:
We ate there once in 2005. As I recall, it was decent but just basic dishes nothing special. May be just the thing for a meat and potatoes type of person though:mickey:
The food is NOT so good. If you are used to good potatoes, not for you.These are off brand boxed, mac and cheese was bland dry, worse than box mixes. The meat is dry,thin, This is our opinion but when you are from Texas we know good food. This was the biggest let down of all our eats in 2010. I would try Tonys. Their steak looks good and have been told on another board that it was really good.
We ate there for dinner. It was nice. The food was decent and plentiful, the decor was nice. The location was perfect. We would do it again.
I agree that this restaurant is just so-so. The food seems to be all fake and none of it is fresh. It tastes processed to me. I used to like this sort of thing, a few years ago, but after I started eating better and leaning towards organic, fresh, and going towards the signature meals I almost cannot eat things that arent freshly prepared anymore and potatoes, forget those. I am a homemade potato maker, at home, and my entire family can call a potato flake from miles away. We probably wont ever eat here again just because there are so many better options. It might have continued to entice us, had they continued to have characters though. :mickey:
I believe this restaurant is sponsored by Stouffer's and what you're served as far as the mac and cheese and potatoes would be Stouffer's foods, which is not off brand or boxed, but premade and frozen/reheated, but also not what I want in a restaurant's offerings. Unless this has changed in the past years.Quote:

Hmmm, so all in all, a resounding "EHHH". :mickey:
Well, we have enough time to try and switch it up a bit. We really don't care for evenings at MK, and finish off most every evening at Epcot, so maybe I'll go for another Epcot eatery.
I'm sure it wouldn't be bad food, but if it really is a Stouffers sponsored meal, and most of the food is Stouffers brands, we probably would not care much for it then. We may not be "foodies", but we are "home-made-ies"!
Thank you so much everyone, for your swift and honest replies!
All the Epcot restaurants are great for our family. I remember the LTT giving us belly aches the last trip and thats no fun in wdw. If you havent yet, maybe try Akershus. I think they are widely overlooked.

Just not LTT with or without characters,if the food is no good then there are plenty of other places with characters like Tusker that has the same Mickey Minnie Goofey Pluto..
Interesting range of reviews. My experience was the food was about a B-. Better choices at the Monorail resorts (like Grand Floridian Cafe @ GF and Kona Cafe @ Poly). Everyone's taste is different.
I find there to be a big difference in the food served at lunch and that served at dinner. The latter does remind me of being at a big banquet where everything is pulled off of huge steamtables.
But lunch is another story! As far as I'm concerned, LTT is another WDW sleeper. Would most definitely go back! :eat:
Ate there in 2008 when they had the characters. I enjoyed the experience. Food wasn't bad.
The only thing I have a problem with now with no characters is the price.
YES! Go there! We tried it last year for the first time since I was a little kid and it was great. SO MUCH FOOD! They serve it family style: a huge platter of sliced turkey, ham & roast beef, then a big bowl of vegetables, macaroni, mashed potatoes, etc. And I assume they keep refilling the bowls if you can eat it all. We weren't able to finish all of the food they brought us!
We're going again there next time. Wear stretchy pants! It's like Thanksgiving dinner!!!
YES for Lunch.
NO for dinner.
At lunch, they have a larger variety of choices, and the food is good and fresh. Dinner is mostly premade, processed stuff. :ack:
We had dinner at LTT on our last two visits and enjoyed it both times. The gravy was the best I ever had. Delicious apple cobbler for dessert. Give it a try.
Ditto. We have a lunch ADR for our upcoming trip. The lunch has been pretty good in the past.Quote:

I advised him of your thoughts about LTT, to which he responded "I'm glad you switched!". We will be at Rose and Crown instead. We are much happier at Epcot in the evenings anyway. Thanks again for all your help!
Even though I agree that LT is "ok" food wise, I think it is better than Crystal Palace. CP has buffet style food that we can find at our local cafeterial style restaurant -- actually, ours is better than CP. But that is what Intercott is for - opinions. So, if you are interested in trying either, go for it! It will give you reason to come back again and try something new next time! :thumbsup:Quote:

I give LTT a "C"...not great. There is so many better choices!
Funny, I asked a co-worker who is a DVC member about the Rose and Crown. He said it wasn't one of the best places to eat. If you're looking for something in Epcot, try Les Chefs de France or Teppon Edo.
I disagree. Rose and Crown is a good choice. Not the best, but certainly not bad, especially for basic meat and potatoes types.Quote:

Some very nice places to consider. :mickey:
Maybe someday I'll get there to eat :mickey:
I remember my first trip to WDW on my honeymoon. The only two TS we did was San Angel (which was terrible Mexican food), and Crystal Palace (whose food has gotten better since then).
On our next trip, we decided to try the LTT. WE LOVED IT. After eating hamburgers and chicken strips for days, it was so refreshing to sit down to a "home cooked meal". Since then, I've been using the Dining Plan, and LTT just doesn't seem to match up with some of the other places we eat. However, for that person who needs to dump the fried food for a day and wants a Thanksgiving Day meal, LTT is great!
Because of this thread: I have booked a lunch reservation on 12/12. I had forgotten how good the pot roast was. I think mom will love it.:mickey:
One of our favorite places for lunch...
:mickey:
We had Thanksgiving dinner at LTT a few years back and I wasn't blown away by the food. However, I can see the appeal to some people -- standard, old standby food like my mom used to make when I was a kid. Tasty and filling, but in a cafeteria kind of way, which isn't anything close to Thanksgiving dinner for me. My DDs enjoyed it (they were 16 and 13 at the time).
This year we're trying 50s Primetime for Thanksgiving dinner. My 20-year-old DD had that idea because of the fun family atmosphere. I know the food won't hold a candle to Thanksgiving dinners I have at home, but it doesn't matter because we'll be in WDW!
