It is always a great experience at Dancing Bear. I love the way it is tucked away in the beautiful smoky mountains. The best part to end the dinner is the outdoor fire pit with a fresh S'more for dessert!

Great service and nice ambiance. Apps were very good. Burger was very average and the buffalo chicken salad was sub par. Chicken not very warm and small and strange pieces and sauce was very smoky tasting.

Tammy is a spectacularly great server! She is super attentive and so fast. She reminds me of a football quarterback continually glancing for an open receiver, looking at each of her tables!
