We both ordered the gyros for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised by the huge quantity of meat which was of a higher quality than other gyros we have had in the past. We noted that people ordering other items received large quantity also and they all looked good. They had combo platters on the menu which I would recommend... more

I revisited Plakas after 30 years and its just as good as I remember. Best greek salad I've ever had; instead of chunks of Feta on the salad, the chesse is crumbled so every bite has a bit. The atmosphere, however, is diner-like. It has a quick take-out window at the front. If the weather is good, get a gyro... more

On my recent vacation to Tarpon Springs, I had dinner at Plaka's, I am a Greek food lover and this was the best Greek food I have come across. The Gyros, Saganaki , Salad, and service was outstanding. The owner "Claude", was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. I would recommend Plaka's to anyone visiting Tarpon Springs. more

One of my many visits, and each visit it gets better. Must check out Plaka's new menu. Taste for Lamb? This is a must. Go to Plaka and try out their Rack of Lamb, served with garlic and parsley potatoes, greenbeans and a greek salad. Enjoy your lunch or dinner with a glass of wine. The owners make the atmosphere... more

You could try all the Gyro around, but you will never find better. It tastes totally different than the also rans. What ever secret spices you use are great. Can't wait to get some more. I'm glad I always get some meat and pita extra to take home. This way I can have a little taste of Plaka at home.... more

Being from Chicago I have eaten in most of Greek Town's restaurants which are very good. But not even the most famous of these restaurants can compare to Plaka's. Their gyros are homemade and the portions are super generous. It is a fun place to eat at, everyone is so friendly that you feel at home. My mouth is watering... more

I moved from New Port Richey Fl to Denver Co seven years ago. On one of our few vacations my wife and I were able to bring some friends with us to show them around the area we grew up. Our first stop after picking up our rental car at Tampa Int was Plaka for Lunch!! After hanging around and... more

I vacation in Florida every fall, in the Orlando area. Yet...I drive to Tarpon Springs just to have a meal at Plaka.

You cry when you reach the last bite,... more
