Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Wild Bear Tavern delivers a taste of authentic German cuisine in a cozy, rustic setting. Guests rave about the "absolutely delicious" food and "huge" portions. While the service can occasionally be slow due to understaffing, the atmosphere and standout dishes like schnitzel, goulash, and potato pancakes make it "a must go" in Pigeon Forge.

The service was outstanding. The schnitzel, mashed potatoes were very good and the pork shank was absolutely hands down delicious. However the potato salad was incredibly mustardy and the sauerkraut was dry and more sour that it should be. The potatoes served with the pork shank were undercooked. Overall I was disappointed and I wouldn’t go back for the price.

We underestimated the portion sizes for breakfast. It was huger than we thought and definitely filled us up before we could even finish.

We made reservations online for Thanksgiving dinner was told half of the items were out after we were seated for the dinner then the waiter came back said they actually had everything still the food was dry and bland they attempted to charge me for 5 adult plates with all my kids under 10 worst experience ever. Will never eat there again. Cost me 240 for 5 people for Thanksgiving dinner what a joke.

We’ve previously enjoyed a visit and couldn’t wait to go back. However, the food didn’t live up to our expectations. The SCHNITZEL PARMIGIANA was dry. The “robust tomato sauce” was so sparse we didn’t taste it as was the cheese. There were 4 of us. The Caesar salad was enjoyed as was the 2 cakes.
