My husband swears this is the best Gyro he has ever had!!! *Since Greece* I could eat their hummus on toast everyday!!!! *Most definitely homemade* Mom and I had falafel and my husband had Gyro. But, we have already picked out our next choices for later. The whole menu looked delicious. ( I just have certain lunch dishes that I test out new places with. ) I can't wait to try some appetizers and I saw and eggplant dish that I will be all over next time😁❤️ Our Nikolai always goes out with us after a run at the dog park. However: It was very chilly so our pup was asleep in his carseat *The patio is dog friendly!* So, we can't wait for another out at the DP. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Tarpon Springs area. Even if it's only for a visit. It's a couple blocks away from the Sponge Docks with free parking right by the restaurant. Update* We went back and had some more! Mixed appetizers, Briam, rice, pita with hummus and my Hubby had another Gyro. *He says it's the BEST!* Eat up my friends!

I feel bad: I snapped at the cook/associate ringing me up behind the counter with a, "$21 for a salad?!" He probably had nothing to do with it and didn't deserve that. I know better. I should have paid, said you're charging too much money and left. I am sorry about that. The food here has a nice touch to differentiate it from other Greek places that surround it, as I can say after living here for over 10 years, and it is good, the people are very nice, but it's still significantly overpriced compared to the market here. The regular Greek salad is $10.25, but that's not entirely the case: if you want to eat it Americana with potato salad, a regular scoop is $3. If you want a chicken stick with it, it is $5.99 when the FB photo for the menu says $4.99. The salad does not have fresh chunks of feta. It's shredded and the salad is mostly lettuce. Look at the photo. At Mr. Souvlaki, I could have purchased 2+ salads. The only price on the ingredients that was the same was the chicken at $5.95. These are Mr. Souvlaki's prices: "Two People -$13.95 | w/Potato Salad $14.95 Four-Six People – $28.95 | w/Potato Salad $30.95" There's a surprise charge on the register that says 3.75% is added to all orders. By the time you leave, it's $21.06 if you tip 18%. I just spent that on a salad. I had a fine dining experience two weeks ago and not even THAT salad was this much. This was takeout. Crazy. I don't know what I was thinking. Hellas, the typically most expensive Greek in town, is actually $11.50 for a salad with potato salad. Even Door Dash would've been cheaper. The food is good, but it's just too much money. The chicken and salad should not come out to more than $13-15. I don't get off on bashing local, small business and I do understand things are more expensive right now, but this is too much and it's depressing because they're closest to me.

We recently visited Katerina’s Taverna and Grill. After reading reviews, we decided to choose this establishment. The interior is quite nice, with seating both inside and outside the cafe. The cafe is located by the road. There are parking spaces available. The restroom was clean and odor-free. The service was so-so. They forgot about us several times. The dishes came with salads, which were brought out half an hour after we ordered. Although there were other customers who arrived after us and received their food much faster. The food was the most disappointing experience of Greek cuisine. I had the stewed eggplant, which was super salty, and the proportion of eggplant to potatoes in the dish was extremely small. The gyro on a plate was also disappointing. It consisted of dry chicken, 3 slices of tomato, onion, sauce, and pita bread. We expected more vegetables. The salad that came with it had one piece of tomato, one olive, one slice of cucumber, and the rest was just leaves. They completely forgot about the vegetables I ordered. We told the waiter about the eggplant, and they replied that they would inform the chef, and that was it. I cannot recommend this place.

👏👍 I eat at Greek restaurants all over the country and have visited Greece many times. Katerina’s is the most authentic Greek meal I’ve had in a long time and I felt transported back to an excellent dinner in Crete or Naxos. Amazing food and I can’t wait to eat there again! I highly recommend their Greek Islands salad. Fresh and delicious tomatoes, onions, green peppers, croutons are topped with a heaping pile of wonderful feta cheese blended with herbs. Their imam bayildi (eggplant stew with tomatoes and potatoes, topped with feta cheese) is both delicious and has the flavors of Greece. Excellent pork souvlaki gyro too. They brought butter with the bread, which was surprising given how authentic everything else was. But we asked for olive oil and they brought delicious high quality extra virgin olive oil topped with herbs. They were also very generous to offer more bread while we waited for the food, without us asking. 👍😋

The inside looks like a carryout, brightly lit but you can watch and smell your food cooking. it’s warmer in the winter too. If a restaurant has dirty bathrooms I don’t come back because staff use them too. if you catch my drift. The restroom is spotless. We always wind up there because the food is great and you don’t wait for an hour like at the places tourists frequent. Their grilled octopus is the best! They have limited bakery items but if you are pressed go to Hellas the bakery is separate and their stuff is sold in restaurants all over the nature coast. Our dinner was expensive because we got a large Greek, an appetizer, extra sides and two entrees. Took all the leftovers home, added chicken peas and little rice pastas and had that for our next two meals. The flavor was even better the next day.

Been here a few times in the past, they have a really good Greek Salad. This time was better then last year, a Woman Server last year told me that she had no change to give me when I paid my Check! I said seriously? She said she ran out of change Lol. I told her that she can keep the change and that was very disappointing. She really didn’t deserve a tip she was terrible. I am not sure that she works there anymore because I didn’t see her today. This time I told my Server today please make sure I get my change back. And I always leave a good tip! I really like Niki S she is a wonderful Server, she did a good job. I took some pictures of the Salad to show how beautiful it is. They do a good job here. Best in Tarpon Springs. See you again soon.
