    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!

    We went on a Saturday early evening and although the place was almost empty, we got asked if we had…read morea reservation.... Umm I don't think we needed one. No wonder they are closing but we are still sad about that. We waited for about 7 minutes for someone to approach our table! When she did, she immediately apologized took our drink order and told us to pick an appetizer on the house! Now that's how you handle that situation! And the reason for the 4 star review. We actually got the pepperoni flatbread pizza for our appetizer and I am so happy we did because it was so yummy! I was pleasantly surprised honestly! Both of us got Burgers with fries and tots which were really good too! The waitress really made our visit special after a bad start to our dinner! Hopefully we will be able to get back before they close for good! As huge music fans we enjoy the music and decorations throughout the restaurant! Come on! They have The Rev's drum kit in there!!!! We're going to miss you guys!

    This place is so complicated for me; I see it both as from when I was a child going before a night…read moreat the Comedy Barn, and as my more recent experiences as a fully grown adult! As a child, it was a bit more well kept and almost majestic, but I could tell this most recent visit that the building interior and exterior could use some work. Otherwise, the live entertainment was incredible and food was exactly what I expected, and that's exactly what I needed for my nostalgia trip up to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Service was a bit spread thin and upon entering the restaurant there were no hosts to let us know where to go or wait for them; very strange entrance way. We started walking to the right of the host stand, met immediately by a gentleman running up. Servers were also stretched thin, but much friendlier! We're frequent Smoky Mountain visitors, and may be back but with all of the local and less corporatized options you reading and I have to enjoy in this glorious town and region, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't return until we have kids. Cheers friends

    Don't believe all the negative comments made in reviews. Arrived just before seven. Warmly greeted…read more Helped with my German beer choice. Food was quickly served, since most are prepared by slow cooking. Delicious! Took our leftovers to the condo. Nice small place and clearly family oriented.

    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.
