i took my new bride to tarpon springs for a sunday day trip and full greek lunch. we picked plaka over hella's and others because of "rave reviews" of Plaka's homemade gyro meat and souvlaki. we also ordered flaming cheese, mousaka and spinach pie besides the double gyro and souvlaki platter. 1) the meat was not cooked well though we... more

I grew up near Tarpon Springs, and in all the years I've gone there, the food has only gotten better. I live a couple hours away now, but it's not uncommon for us to go up there just to eat. Whenever we have out of town company, we take them to...you guessed it, Plaka's. Their gyros are fantastic, the Greek... more

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
