Hungry Bear BBQ #1 is a restaurant that serves a variety of BBQ dishes, including tender and flavorful ribs, sausages, and pork. Many customers say the food is the highest quality in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area, with everything being well seasoned, homemade, and cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, making guests feel at home. The restaurant is located across the street from excellent trails in the Great Smoky Mountains, making it a perfect stop after a hike. The outside picnic area is clean and shady, adding to the pleasant experience. Customers enjoy the delicious sides, tasty sauce options, and the overall quality of the meal, which is worth the slightly higher prices. The main courses are served quickly, often within five minutes of ordering. The chef is seen loading the grill for the next day, and many feel lucky to dine there. While the menu offers a good variety of BBQ dishes, some dishes can be overcooked, and the sides are limited and not always very flavorful. The atmosphere can be loud because Christian music is played inside, but the friendly staff helps make it a welcoming spot. The restaurant is accessible with flat entryways and offers child seats if needed. Overall, despite some inconsistencies in food quality, many visitors find it worth visiting, especially after outdoor activities, and appreciate the friendly service.
