Skipper Canteen or Liberty Tree Tavern

[Tharris711]

This will be for dinner and I have never done either of them. Everything else is already perfectly planned and placed, but this is the one that we keep going back and forth on. The whole fried fish sounds good at Skipper Canteen, but I see that they are only giving out one fish instead of two. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

I have dined at both. Skippers is fun we had a great playful server, the lamb chops were amazing but a small portion, we had lunch at liberty tree last trip. I ended up getting a burger (available only at lunch) i had surprisingly never had pot roast before. I tried some of my wifes and had order envy now i am a pot roast fan we have even made some at home in the slow cooker (admittedly tastey but not as good)

Skipper Canteen for sure over Liberty Tree dinner! LTT is better as a lunch spot IMO. I got the Whole Fried Fish at Skipper Canteen and it was DELICIOUS! Mine came with 3 (supposed to be 2) Lionfish and it was mindblowingly flavorful. I would totally recommend, whether it was 1, 2, or 3.

Skipper Canteen for sure. Maybe it's just us, but not all of us could finish our meals, so the portions were not small by any means. The service was great and a lot of fun. The food was excellent as well. LTT is just average IMO where Skipper's Canteen was really very good. We love lots of flavor in our food and we got exactly that there.

We actually just had this decision for our last day lunch. We always do a special sit down lunch our last day. We have dined at both and are quite fond of both. This time we chose LTT as we figured it would be a tad more "filling" for a travel day.

Honestly you can't go wrong with either. If you get the right Skipper, then SC is a blast.

Skipper Canteen! I like Liberty Tree but I think the Skipper Canteen has a better atmosphere and more variety. It's also my favorite WDW restaurant so I'm a little biased

2 very different experiences...LTT is a strictly American comfort food type of place. The Skipper Canteen has a more eclectic faire and a little more upscale. I would definitely choose ST but I have a pretty adventurous family of eaters.

Add me to the list of Skipper Canteen fans. Had a really great experience here and personally can't wait to go back. The food is great and there are so many interesting things to explore throughout the restaurant, tons of easter eggs for disney fans that were so much fun to find.

Skipper Canteen if you want a great atmosphere, a creative and well prepared menu, alcohol if you are so inclined, and in my opinion the best restaurant in MK vs Decent typical American Fare in a fairly cool atmosphere. It comes down to what you want to try to eat.

My family enjoys them both equally -- as others said, it just comes down to the kind of food (American comfort food, vs. slightly more adventurous fare) that you care to eat on a given day.
