Tony's Town Square Restaurant is a table service restaurant on [[Main Street USA]] in the [[Magic Kingdom]].
==History==
The genesis of the restaurant that would eventually be known as Tony's Town Square Restaurant began during the planing of the [[Magic Kingdom]]. 1970 blueprints for the location indicate that it was originally earmarked for the "Coffee Mill Restaurant" <ref name= "widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/hsphouse.htm </ref>. These plans were eventually changed however, and when the park opened on October 1, 1971, the restaurant was known as the Town Square Cafe sponsored by Oscar-Mayer<ref name= "widen"/>. The Town Square Cafe featured turn of the century decor and an open-air dining area.
