Wild Bear Tavern offers a unique dining experience with a mix of American and German cuisine. The restaurant's atmosphere is quaintly dark, and the service is friendly and attentive, with staff going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The menu features dishes like Traditional Shnitzel, German Potato Salad, and potato pancakes. The Goulash special received positive comments, and the Pork Schnitzel was praised as very good, though some felt it could be made more traditionally. The cheese spätzle was delicious, and the portions were generous. The Rotkohl (red cabbage) was enjoyed as tasting homemade, and the overall atmosphere made for a really enjoyable experience. Some dishes, such as the German Pot Roast, did not meet expectations, tasting more like beef stew than traditional roast, and the authenticity of certain items like the potato pancakes and German Potato Salad received mixed reviews. The restaurant is cashless, so credit card payment is required. Overall, Wild Bear Tavern is a decent option for those looking for hearty meals and friendly service, especially if they enjoy a cozy, casual environment, but it may not fully satisfy those seeking authentic German food.
