   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’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.

   It was ok. The table was dirty when we sat down. The food was pretty good although I've had better German. The potato pancakes were outstanding as was the apple strudel, although it wasn't traditional strudel. The red cabbage was OK but needed more flavor. The traditional schitzel wasn't traditional as it was not breaded but was tasty if not a little too salty. It was a little overcooked with lots of darker than desired sear on the bottom. The server was very good and did the best she could do with very little help. I find that most restaurants in Pigeon Forge are very average. It seems they cater to tourists and know they won't be back. It's a constant stream of new people who are very easily impressed.

   Food was decent/good. Service was excellent. Smell from the restrooms wafting into the entire restaurant- gross.

   It’s difficult to find good, authentic German dishes, but Wild Bear did not disappoint. Our server Billy was gracious, funny, friendly, and helped make the dinner experience even more enjoyable. My only complaint is that their selections do German plates was somewhat limited, with just one Schnitzel selection (with two options of lemon or jager topping), and just 3-4 other main dish choices. The servings were quite reasonably sized, and the food was hot. We would recommend this restaurant for a great German dinner experience!
