Lil Black Bear Cafe - Pigeon Forge

This is definitely the best spot for breakfast in Pigeon Forge. It's quite small and almost feels out of place, so be careful—you might miss it! You might think that to compete with the larger establishments on the strip, you'd need a bigger venue, but this place proves otherwise. The friendly and down-to-earth staff is just the beginning of a wonderful experience. They cater to all your needs and desires. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the breakfast burritos, which aren’t listed on the menu—you have to ask for them. They were fantastic! I can't wait to go back and try the pancakes and other options. I'll be returning in late August 2022 and will be bringing my wife. I'm looking forward to introducing her to this little gem that stands strong against the giants—it's like the little engine that could!

Don't be deceived by the small, unassuming building. It's a clean but cozy spot filled with fun and delicious food. There's currently about an hour wait, though it might be shorter. Arriving early or being patient is definitely recommended. Trust me, the food is worth the wait! I tried the blueberry French toast, which was fantastic. My wife enjoyed the grits bowl and a veggie omelet. While the dishes are simple, they're packed with flavor. The menu offers a solid selection—nothing too fancy, but there's certainly a lively atmosphere with lots of audience participation.

This cafe is simply wonderful and charming. Lynn was exceptionally kind, and the food he prepared was outstanding. Our waitress, Jennifer, was incredibly sweet and provided excellent service to us and the other customers, as this is a cozy spot with just five tables. (Trust me, it's worth the wait! I ordered a bagel sandwich and two pancakes, and they were some of the best homemade dishes I've had in quite a while. The place has a warm, Christian comfort vibe and a nostalgic mom-and-pop atmosphere that you don't find many of anymore. I will definitely return whenever I'm in the Pigeon Forge area!

An incredible dining experience for breakfast or lunch. Servers are gracious and committed to made to order options for a pleasant experience. Would have not stopped here if it were not for the high recommendation from a server at another restaurant.So glad they did! We will definitely be back!!!

Please don?t expect any type of chain restaurant experience here. It?s much much better. From the moment we walked in until the time we left we were smiling. The family that owns this restaurant were so kind, helpful and amazing cooks! If you want tosupport a small local business, put this address in your GPS and head there. They have breakfast and lunch options, all of whichare custom and made to order. Nothing sits in the kitchen, as soon as it?s plated they bring it to your table. We got thepancakes, and pictures will not show the true size, but I would definitely recommend asking the size and gauging whether youwant one or two. If we would have known, we would have only ordered one. This is going to be a place we stop every time we cometo the area. They are only open from 8am-2pm so plan to be there before they close! HIGHLY recommend!!
