    Pork sandwich dinner meal. $15
    Leslie R.

    Da Spot is now my new place for BBQ! I ordered the pork dinner meal with Mac and cheese with collard greens and dirty rice. It was delicious!!!

    We got more than expected and it was all great

    Was hungry for ribs and decided to try somewhere new. Wow! Outstanding!! We had both the ribs and chicken. Both were lights out spectacular. We will definitely be back.

    Below the TV is the impromptu ordering and pay station.

    This is an eclectic restaurant located just a couple blocks from the main Tarpon Springs shopping district. Food was above average. Huge appetizers. Smaller meat portion that had dirty rice. It was tasty. No ability to apply or adjust the sauce. And only one type as far as I could tell. Even when you order to eat there it comes in a Styrofoam box with plastic silverware. Bottomline is to come here for the good BBQ but don't expect much else. You order at an impromptu table that does have a menu. Then pay on the tablet. The lady brought the drinks out in their original containers. The rootbeer I ordered was semi-cold. Then brought entrees out in less than ten minutes. You toss your trash into an open garbage can next to the door. More people appear to order for takeout. The inside has almost zero ambiance. It looks like many shower curtains are hung on the walls. They were setting up for some kind of party that night. They have various other areas that weren't open. They had to walk down several corridors to show where the bathroom was located. Tip: after you're done there is a really cool place about a block across the Pinellas Trail called Architectural Salvage. Some super cool old stuff in there, including old license plates, music albums and a lot of treasures.

    I've been coming here for just a personal meal, but today I bought some takeout platters for my big family and everyone was so happy with the food. We got three full racks of ribs and a family platter of snow crabs and a bunch of sides. Everything was outstanding. The people who run this business helped me to my car, made sure I had everything, and I cannot recommend them enough. Invite some friends over and order a platter or two. Order early, as they sell out. The platters are plentiful and delicious, and the people are so kind and accommodating.

    Deliciousness!!

    Delicious Smoked Meats and fishes...need I saw more?! Oh wait, the veggies are seasoned and delicious too! You can smell the aroma lure you in from a mile away. So we did :) Ribs, mac & cheese, and baked beans. I wanted collard greens but I couldn't talk him into it. lol GET THE NAPKINS, TAKE HANDY WIPES! (You can thank me later for that hint.) Fall off the bone savory BBQ that I could not stop eating. I thought the mac & cheese could have used more cheese but it could have been having a bad day. Don't hate on it...Get it! Staff behind the tiny window is super sweet and helpful with your selection process. She did not steer us wrong. It is an outside eating venue... prepare to sweat or just take it home and tell all of your guests that you cooked it! Delicious! See you soon :)

    My local friend suggested trying this place because it's all everybody on Tarpon Springs Facebook is talking about. Okay... I am not on FB but always game to check out a new spot. The place has a few tables for outside seating, but we plan to order take out for lunch to avoid them running out of food. We placed our order ahead of time, but when we arrived, they explained that they prepare everything fresh for us, so it was still a bit of a wait as they readied our order. The food is definitely worth the wait. The ribs are tender (though we suspect if we go for dinner it would be even better) and the sauce so good. For sides you must get the beans. I hate baked beans from a can but these little gems are so soft with a smoky sweetness to it. My friend loves her chicken too. This place is only open from Friday to Sunday, till around "sundown" or when they sold out. A few times we pass by on other days, our mouths start drooling and we wish so much they were open for more days!! Also note that this is a small spot with only two people working. So take it in stride if nobody picks up the phone. The staff is nice, just that it's a small operation. If you can't handle that, plenty of chains if you go up on 19.

    Da Spot!

    Well, I tried to try Da Spot but they simply aren't open when advertised. I popped by Sunday morning for breakfast and although the smoker was smoking, the building was locked up tight! No breakfast for me! Time for plan B! Life will be good when I finally get to try this place.

    Amazing bbq spare ribs and Mac and cheese! We were visiting Tarpon Springs for some Greek and this place caught our eye instead. The food was delicious and service very friendly. It looked like it was mostly takeout which we didn't understand since the outdoor area was so nice! They had people waiting for food at all times while we were there. We felt very comfortable as they were accommodating of our large pup with their outdoor area. What we had: Spare ribs Mac and cheese Collard greens Brisket We loved everything except the brisket was a bit too sweet and not as juicy as we would've liked. We will drive out to Tarpon again for this! Thanks guys

    Gotta plan ahead to check this plate out...foods so tasty ya may miss out. They DO sell out on the weekends, so call ahead or get there early! We had the ribs, Mac and cheese and baked beans. The ribs had a nice bbq/mustard sauce and were sloppy and tasty!! Enjoyed the Mac and cheese, but the baked beans even more w their sweet brown sugar taste! Yum yum get you some!!

    The brisket was amazing! The fries were seasoned well. The Mac and cheese had great flavor. The staff was attentive and got our food out quickly. We took ours to go, but they have outdoor picnic tables. We can't wait to come back!

    The best decision I made was to try out this BBQ. I was real bbq ribs, which exceeded my expectations. The Mac n cheese could be better, but the real star was the fall off the bone ribs

    I really love this place. after checking out all the other BBQ places I found Da Spot is the very best place around.

    Tender, Smokey and the sauce combination. Holy Moly! What a treat! Homemade Mac ! Spicy but amazingly sweet beans! Sausage medium spice.

I came across this restaurant through a search and I am so glad we did. Unfortunately, we had to do takeout as it was brought to us for a lunch break and we are 40 minutes away so it wasn't at the temperature the they would have served it to or the presentation - our fault. But theirs at all. It wasn't through a delivery service either so I cannot fault anyone but us. What I can say is the food is phenomenal. The brussel sprouts are some of the absolute best I have ever had and the others agreed. The tuna was to perfection. The refinery salad, we added shrimp, also amazing. The bulgogi - no fat or gristle, tender and flavorful. We also got a flatbread- rest in pieces. Someone bumped into our sacrificial delivery person and it went everywhere. We heard it was aromatic and had it not been on the sidewalk of a downtown high traffic area it may have been a Friends cheesecake moment in the hallway. Overall, definitely want to go to the actual restaurant now. There are other items I would love to try and the consensus is that this would be a fabulous date night restaurant. Not bougie and just hip enough inside. Looking forward to more dishes and plated to the perfection of the taste of their food.

It was within walking distance to a business fixing our car, so we walked here to wait and eat breakfast. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was helpful & friendly. We looked around, and it is a large place, comfortable and welcoming. I ordered sunny side up eggs with grits and English muffin. Husband got pancakes and sausage links. We both got water, which was the only low point of the meal. It did not taste good, even with the complimentary lemon slice. The food came quickly. Everything was so good! My grits, eggs, and muffin were cooked as requested. So hot and delicious! Husband loved his pancakes, and raved about the sausage links. He wanted to know where they came from. He asked and they promised to find out next time we come back. And we WILL be back. I'll just ask if I can bring my own water bottle. Or I'll have hot tea! By the way, I have no food pictures.

Enjoyed a nice hot cup of coffee which was actually really good. Diner coffee is really hit or miss in my experience and this place is a hit for sure. Menu is full of traditional Greek entrees but since I was here for breakfast I decided to go with the eggs benedict with hash browns. Came out fast and fresh and really good. Eggs were cooked to perfection and coated nicely with the sauce. Hash browns were really good as well. I managed to talk to the owner for a few minutes as I was paying the tab on my way out. Great guy! You can tell he's quite passionate about customer experience and making sure to deliver great food and service. I was a tad bummed that they didn't have any rice pudding to take away but they were fresh out. I can't wait to come back and try it along with my favorite dish (Spanakopita) which he admitted sells out fast.
