The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. And can we talk about the bacon? Thick, perfectly crispy, and full of the most delicious smoky flavor!

We will absolutely be back!

They have something for everyone here and the reason I like it is, they include the local Greek fair in their breakfast with the Greek omelette, or you can get the gyro meat in a salad (add feta) or a straight up gyro. Service always good. (Think Dennys with a much better menu and freshness and great service. You might even hear a little Greek being spoken.) shout out to server Claudianna I give it five stars for delivering what they say not because it's a fancy dress up place. Got it?! Good.

My wife had a Southern Country Skillet; which she enjoyed. No complaints with customer service, everyone was attentive as they could be, with the amount of people that were dining. The restaurant is clean, open, and very inviting. The wait-time was a bit longer than most brunch spots, but they make the food FRESH, so I understand for the wait, also worth mentioning, the food came out piping hot! Yum! I will be a returning customer, if you happen to be in the area, put this spot on your food list!!!

I went here with my family during the First Friday market in Tarpon Springs, so it was pretty busy…read more The atmosphere was exciting & fun, but the large crowd affected the service quality a bit. Our waitress was attentive until our food came out, but after that, she didn't really check up on us. We tried to get her attention for five minutes to have her fill our water glasses, since she hadn't done so all night. As for the food, the tempo of serving was good. Our appetizers came out pretty fast, & our entrees came out a bit less promptly. For appetizers, we got the Greek Cigars, which I really enjoyed! They tasted like a mix between a spanakopita & a mozzarella stick, which was unique & delicious. The lemon aioli dip was very lemon-forward; a bit too much for my preferences. We also got the Buffalo Cauliflower, which was great! Those had a strong buffalo taste, but weren't overpoweringly spicy. The Pretzel Bites had a good flavor, a reasonable amount of salt, & they were a good level of crispy. The creamy cheese dip was okay; the flavor wasn't very prominent. I got the Chicken Caesar Wrap with House-Made Kettle Chips, & I thought it was great! The chips were very thin & flaky, & I'd never had chips quite like that, but I enjoyed them. The chicken & lettuce tasted super fresh, & the wrap was sufficient. It wasn't very saucy, but it didn't necessarily need more. My friend got the Fish and Chips, & said they were definitely a highlight. The batter was heavily seasoned & the fish was flaky & tasted very fresh. My parents shared the Jägerschnitzel with Potato Pancakes (a seasonal item on their Oktoberfest menu), & described it as essentially a panko-breaded fried pork cutlet with a mushroom sauce. Not 100% authentic but tasty nonetheless. The potato pancakes were thick & fluffy; a nice addition to the dish. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Tarpon Tavern. The prices were a little high for the portion sizes, but the food was great!

Leaving from the Howard Beach, and stopped in before commuting home to this local joint, and it was surprisingly raving!!! Hillbilly Eggrolls had great reviews and thought I would try, and it was actually REALLY good! Food is served FRESH and HOT! Even with minutes passed, I don't think I ever had food served this hot, but it was a great thing. The bathrooms even had a sign of Caution: Water Gets Hot! And I have hot water at home so I smiled because if the water is that hot, I know germs are being cleaned on silverware! But again, food was amazingly hot, and thank you for the great service, Tyler!

For a starter I had the Hillbilly Egg roll Slow-Cooked BBQ Pork, House Made Slaw, Pepper Jack Cheese, Drizzled with BBQ Served with a Side of Ranch Dressing!! Very good! Great portion! For my entree I had the Steak and cheese wrap and its Shaved Rib-Eye, Sautéed Mushroom, Onions, and Bleu Cheese, wrapped in a flour tortilla. Sooooooo delicious and juicy! Service was rocky at first as for as drinks were concerned, and they definitely made sure that it was an addressed and took care of the issue. I had a smoked bourbon for my drink...sooo good! Probably one of the best I've had. All-In-All GREAT local spot for eats!! I'm going to have to come during football season to see the sport vibe...while wearing all my Seahawks gear! Lol!!

Plenty of indoor seating, but the day was nice enough to sit outdoors. I do intermittent fasting, so I eat huge breakfasts.
