Restaurants near Tallassee Recreation Area

We were not aware of DBAB until we found it on this app. After reading several positive reviews we decided to give it a try. We’ve eaten at some fine restaurants in our time but the ambience, service, and food at Dancing Bear are unrivaled by any of them! The location and decor are peaceful and welcoming. The fireplace alone is a must-see! Brad patiently explained every single item on the menu and gave us fabulous recommendations. He was on-time or ahead of us each time we needed anything. We shared the Trio of Dips, and chose the Butternut Squash Soup and Charred Caesar for starters, then topped it with the Sweet Tea Brined Pork Chop and Truffle-Topped Filet. Every detail of every dish was fantastic! Only wish we had saved room for the Bread Pudding…but there’s always next time!!!

We had a birthday celebration last night. Everyone else opted for fish and they were all happy with their choices. I got the special rib eye cap. That’s the outside curve of the steak above the fat layer. It was heavily seasoned with only salt and pepper then wood fired to a perfect medium rare. This prime-grade cut was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I’d put it up against a Wagyu A5 anytime. Thank you Connors!

Exceptional food, exceptional service. Had a part of 7 celebrating a birthday and our server Grace was fantastic. She had good suggestions and very attentive. RT Lodge is always wonderful.

Really enjoyed this meal. Finding great food at a good value is a nice find. The staff was attentive and helpful. The biscuits are a must have.

Celebrated my wife’s birthday. We both had the Roquefort Filet and it was amazing. Good variety of meal options. We are looking forward to going back to try new dishes.
