    Here are my photos! I wanted to make sure everyone got to see the delicious Dolmades dinner with a cup of minestrone soup.

    Recently visited after wife had been here once before and had an amazing visit. Her and her friends had several apps and loved everything. So flavorful and fresh they couldn't stop talking about it. So her and I went in to just grab a gyro before going out. The first girl who waited on us didn't understand that we wanted to share a gyro, so someone else came out after five minutes or so to clarify. No biggie, but thought gyro was pretty standard. Super friendly service and our gyro came out a few minutes later...as you can see...it's big!! We shared and were plenty full after. We did note the lamb was a bit crispy/overcooked, and the tzatziki sauce was plentiful (which was nice)...but didn't have a lot of zing to the sauce. Wish it was a little tangier, and the meat not so well done. We'll come back though as there are so many options to choose from and service was friendly!

    Greek salad

    First time here & first time to try octopus & calamari that wasn't fried. Both were excellent. They had a delicious olive oil, lemon sauce with Greek seasoning. The Greek salad was excellent too. We had a very nice server who patiently answered all our questions. We will be returning!

    My family & I had a nice time visiting Costa's restaurant. We ordered a plethora of food and sat inside by the window. The restaurant itself is nicely designed and has a private parking lot for its guests which we appreciated. They do have outdoor seating as well. The inside feels a bit tight and it was unclear where the host stand was to find out where to sit. As far as the food, the saganaki was well prepared. The Greek salad was a generous portion and absolutely delicious. The moussaka was missing a bit of flavor but the dolomites and the gyro meat were fantastic. The service was alright but wished we had received a bit more attention. The drink specials are fantastic at this location as well. Especially the fact that a large pitcher of beer is $8.99. That should be noted as well. Thanks Costa's!

    Had to have my hand hold the sandwich to show the massive size of this thing! The restaurant is located toward the end of the main hub of shops and we learned about it because people were passing out menus with a coupon for a free slice of baklava. They had a lot of veggie options so knew I had to check it out. Not only was the falafel sandwich flavorful and giant, it was also affordable! 12.99 for this massively filling sandwich, the ingredients were falling out of the pita other was so stuffed. We also were served fast and thr staff were all friendly.

    Complementary Baklava at lunch
    Lita L.

    We stopped here for lunch after being handed on one corner, menus from three restaurants. We sat on a bench there, and decided on Costas. The lunch special we selected and shared, was a Roasted Lamb Souvlaki with all the toppings, including a Greek Salad, for $16.99. We also ordered a 2for1 draft beer, Amberbock, $4.99, and a complementary Baklava dessert. The salad was huge and included the classic potato salad on the bottom and perfectly seasoned with the perfect amount of dressing and crispy Romaine lettuce and plenty of Feta cheese. We were also brought complementary bread and spread. The Lamb Souvlaki came rolled up in parchment and aluminum foil and was so packed and large, I ended up unrolling it on a plate and eating it with a knife and fork. The lamb was in chunks and was tender and tasty, and the the pita bread had a nice chew. The complimentary Baklava was as good as any I've eaten. What a very affordable lunch that we shared and really filled us both up. I highly recommend and would definitely return.

    While it may not look as glamorous as some of the other restaurants in Tarpon springs, the value and quality here is easily as good as if not better than any of the others. Don't skip this place! Brought family here late and we were sat and catered to like we owned the place! Portions are great and food is excellent!

    "Lamb Gyro with fresh tzatziki -- tender, flavorful, and made right"

    A True Taste of Greece in the Heart of Tarpon Springs My family and I visited Tarpon Springs on November 15th for the Seafood Festival and decided to grab lunch nearby. We passed several places, but Costas Restaurant was absolutely packed -- and now I know why. We followed the crowd and ended up finding one of the best Greek meals we've ever had in Florida. From the moment we walked in, you could feel the energy of a well-loved local spot. Service was fast, friendly, and genuine -- the kind of place that clearly takes pride in its food and its reputation. I ordered the lamb gyro, and it was perfection. The lamb was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, wrapped in soft, warm pita. The tzatziki sauce was spot-on -- creamy, garlicky, and bright with just the right tang of lemon. You can tell it's made fresh every day. We also had the fried clam strips, and they were done exactly right -- crisp, golden, and full of flavor without being greasy. The batter was light and seasoned perfectly. Every bite tasted fresh. It's easy to see why Costas is such a staple in the Tarpon Springs community. They don't just serve food; they serve the heart of Greek heritage. Sitting right in the middle of this beautiful town, surrounded by shops, waterfront charm, and that warm small-town magic, it's the kind of place that stays with you long after the meal ends. Whether you're a local or just visiting Florida, make time to stop here. Costas captures everything that makes Tarpon Springs special -- great people, incredible food, and a true sense of community.

    Grilled snapper with lemon and garlic olive oil

    Wonderful fresh grilled snapper with Greek potatoes and salad. We come here as often as possible for amazing Greek food

    Beautiful Greek salad
    Susan B.

    We ordered Greek salad, spanakopita and appetizer of Doka. Also drafts beer, 2 for 1 all day. Limited selection (Bud, Shocktop or Amber bock) Service is slow, atmosphere is relaxed and casual. The Doka was unexpectedly tasty, the shredded pita added a lovely nutty flavor. The salads were a fantastic blend of lettuces and vegetables- the potato salad was nicely done- nothing especially overpowering in tastes. Spanakopita was the absolute piece de resistance- delicious blend of spice, lemon and cheese - At the end of the meal, I was happy and will definitely come back to Costas!

They were able to answer all of the questions I had about any of the Greek pastries I haven't heard of. It was very lively in there because it's also connected to a restaurant. They had a variety of pastries. I got the pistachio baklava and the tiramisu pasta. Both were very rich - I don't think I'm a big fan of the flaky bread but anyone who is will appreciate this bakery. One of the best Greek bakeries I've been to. Highly recommend.

The baklava & the other delicacies were good. But none of the ladies behind the counter asked if I was ready to order or even greeted me when i walked up to the counter, especially the two ladies folding the boxes on the counter. I had to get their attention so I can be served. I understand that the other ladies were busy fulfilling orders. Then we came back for lunch after our tour, the place was busy but were seated right away. The music in the background wasn't too loud. For a busy restaurant like that, we got our food in good time. Our server was very attentive & checked on us a couple times if we needed anything else. My pastitsio was good & the fam liked their lamb kebab.

    First trip to Tarpon Springs. Saw good reviews and decided to swing in. the menu was pretty limited…read morebut my husband and I decided on the Greek salad and one of the platters. it took a while for our server to get to us to order but they eventually made it. My husband wanted a beer and asked for "one of the Greek beers" as there weren't any descriptions or options on the menu. Our server wrote it down and went on their way. My husband then commented that they must only have one Greek beer, because he wasn't given any options; the menu didn't list any specific beers either. After our drinks arrived I noticed our server smoking a cigarette outside on the sidewalk right outside the restaurant and right next to other dining tables. This was unsettling, and I kind of didn't want them handling our food after that. However, our food arrived promptly and was very good. I was surprised to find potato salad in my Greek salad, but it worked! The gyros were delicious as well and the pita bread was great. At one point we wanted more tzatziki sauce but our server was no where to be found. After a while they finally stopped by and we were able to ask for more sauce and our check. All together it was not the best experience. The food was very good but it was the experience that will keep us away. I find it unacceptable to have employees smoking out front of the restaurant, ESPECIALLY when it is in the outdoor dinning area. I am sure there is an area behind the restaurant that they can smoke if they need to. If I would have seen then when looking for a restaurant, I would have kept on walking.
