    A&W Restaurant: $ - fries 10/10 fish fried style taste - Chicken sliders 8/10 after taste - Cheeseburger 6/10 too many pickles, bland a little hard to swallow - Fruit punch 10/10 immaculate - Dr. Pepper 6/10 little watered down Overall: I'd eat here again.

    I would normally never review a fast food place like this but the guy who works here is so fantastic it deserves a review. I didn't catch his name but he is originally from long island. The first time we went into this A&W my wife spotted that hey had root beer made fresh and she wanted to try it. We went in and encountered this man who when we ordered a root beer to go he insisted we try it in a frosted glass instead. We did and it was great. We chatted with him a bit and he made us a to go cup after we were done with the glass. We went in a few days later and he remembered us. We got 4 root beers in glasses (the right way) and talked to him some more. He was super nice and brought over refills. This man is what America needs more of! We need people who love what they do and want you to love their business as much as they do. If there were more people like this small businesses would thrive. I don't know if this man is the owner or a manager but I hope he sees the greatest success in life!

    My family and I came in for dinner after picking The Fat Bear based on yelp reviews. We were seated…read moreimmediately, and Kylie came and got our drink orders. I ordered cheese curds as a starter. They taste greatz kinda like small mozzarella stick nuggets. We ordered four plate: grilled cheese, plain cheeseburger, buffalo chicken sandwich, and B.E.L.T. (bacon egg, lettuce, tomato). Fries all the way around. They were well-cooked crinkle fries, and well seasoned too. I had the B.E.L.T. which was great. In fact, all of the food was ideal and fresh. Between the flawless, quick food, and cleanliness, and the service I am missing nothing. Kylie was super nice and always there when we needed her. Overall, this place is a winner. Simple menu, all-day breakfast, and convenient location. Definitely worth checking out.

    If you yearn for food that doesn't taste like it originated from a deep freezer, than I highly…read morerecommend The Fat Bear Family Tavern. For once in Pigeon Forge, I have ate something that actually tasted distinguishable. If you blind-folded me and had me take a bite out of different burgers from different burger joints, I could guess this one with no hesitation. However, one notable throw-off i had was that the burger had a weird aftertaste of tuna. I ordered the smash burger and it had the perfect amount of grease that doesn't drench you, but keeps up with freshness and taste. And the reason I wanted to write this review was for the french fries. Tired of soggy fries? This place puts the FRY in french fries. They maintained a delicious level of crunch and crisp (if that's your gusto) and didn't have that same refrigerator taste. I also ordered cheese curds and they had the most amazing cheese pull and tasted great! The service was excellent too, unlike some servers, they don't abandon you and they keep up with you and refills / clearing the table. If there's anything I appreciate more, it's waiters and waitresses that (even if they don't) act like they cherish their job! And if you yearn for a setting that makes you in the mood for adventure.. or a bear lover.. this place has attracting visuals so you aren't trapped in a minimalist setting. Overall, if you're up for trying new flavors and advancing your taste buds' vocabulary, I recommend The Fat Bear Family Tavern!

    I was a solitary diner on my birthday and had a hankering for German food. There aren't many…read moreGerman restaurants in my home state so I was surprised that I could find one in Pigeon Forge. I ordered the traditional schnitzel (pork cutlet that was pounded thin). It was not breaded, but it was coated with egg and flour and prepared well. I had the German potato salad and red cabbage side orders. Both were served warm as is custom. I was a bit upset that the waiter gave me the bill when the meal was finished. I told him it was my birthday and that I had wanted coffee and cake. He took the bill and crumpled it in his hand. The portion of cake that he presented could have easily served three! I left the top frosting. The chocolate cake was moist and the frosting between the layers was German chocolate. Available seating offerings were a booth, table, or a table al fresco. It had the beer garden appeal. I opted to sit inside. The restaurant is also very family oriented (as are most things in Pigeon Forge). Prices were reasonable, food was served at the correct temperature, portions were prodigious. The venue was also immaculate. I would recommend this tavern to anyone who appreciates German fare.

Food on chalk board by door [pork shank] was not avail. Smoked drink also not available, and other things as well... spaetzle with cheese sauce was not good, mushy... wish was just with butter. At 8pm Waitress presented bill while we were finishing main course without asking if we wanted dessert and left quick. When I had to flag her down and mentioned we wanted dessert like apple studel waitress, she spun and walked to kitchen but didn't ask if wanted anything else, dropped off updated bill with 1 strudel on it before dessert landed then never saw that waitress again... eventually bar tender came over to take our credit card. Cant recommend.
