- CCharlotteHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe stopped overnight in Pigeon Forge, and while we have been here many times, we had never eaten here. Found it online and decided to give it a shot. I have to be honest, we weren’t expecting much when we walked in, but the service was excellent and the food was very good! My mom was German, from Bavaria and I have had great German food. I was impressed that the red cabbage was made from scratch there and tasted just like Mom’s. The schnitzel with lemon sauce was very tasty as was the potato pancake with apple sauce. My husband had the best with sauerkraut and fried potatoes and he enjoyed that as well. We will be back when we come through again. Thanks!More infoWild Bear Tavern$$$$• German• Pigeon Forge•4.3
