Restaurants near Craighead Caverns

Love this place!! Dancing Bear is a regular visit for my husband and me throughout the year but once a year we bring visiting family to share in our happy place. It’s become a tradition over the last several yrs. We have never been disappointed. From the wait at the bar until the stop at the fire pit for s’mores after our meal, it is always an enjoyable experience. Already looking forward to our next group visit!

For Christmas, they do buffet service. I wasn’t aware of this and had doubts. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The food was superb, and I loved the fact that I was able to eat so many different kinds of food. It was a terrific experience. I can’t wait to return. The crab cakes are the best by the way.

Food was great. Restaurant was decorated for Christmas and looked so festive. Only use was drinks were slow to come out.

Lydia was our server and she was absolutely fantastic—very personable, helpful, conversational . . . The food, as always, was so delicious—we personally think this is overall the best restaurant in Knoxville!!!

Stunning! Special holiday meal and the staff, food, ambiance, location all made it amazing! Everything is so special from cocktails, appetizers, and main courses! Outstanding! 👏🏻
