Fat Bear Tavern

Fat Bear Tavern is a family-friendly tavern serving made-from-scratch comfort food, with burgers, hand-breaded chicken tenders, buffalo mac and cheese and homemade meatloaf on the dinner menu. Breakfast is served all day, and a brunch menu with pancakes, biscuits and gravy and eggs any way you like runs on weekends.

The tavern has 23 TVs, a full bar and a lively room for watching games, so it draws a crowd on game days. Groups can book a reserved space for private events, and online ordering and catering are available. Diners with dogs can eat at the picnic benches out front, and gluten-free options are offered. It sits on Teaster Lane in Pigeon Forge.
