Hungry Bear BBQ #1 is a restaurant that serves a variety of BBQ dishes, including tender and flavorful ribs, sausages, and pork. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Many customers enjoy the food, calling it some of the best BBQ in the Gatlinburg area, especially praising the pulled pork sandwiches for their tenderness. However, some dishes can be overcooked, with the sausage having a spongy texture and the ribs being mushy, sometimes lacking seasoning beyond a smoky flavor. The sides are limited and not particularly flavorful, with potato salad and mac and cheese receiving mixed reviews. The atmosphere can be loud due to Christian music played inside, and prices have increased over time. The restaurant is accessible with flat entryways and offers child seats if needed. Overall, while the quality of food can be inconsistent, many find it worth visiting, and the friendly staff makes it a welcoming spot.
