Hellas Restaurant & Bakery

"This was our second visit to Hellas and it was just as good as the first visit! Service was fantastic once again! We ordered Makaronada, Greek Scallops, Greek Burger, and Shrimp Ala Hellas. I personally had the shrimp and have to say that it had the perfect amount of breading and was fried to perfection. I'd definitely order again."

"Hellas was HELLAZ good. We had a large party with children and they were easy to accommodate, extremely friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was very attentive and clear in communicating with us. The restaurant had a fun and lively atmosphere. The food? Like I said, HELLAZ good. We ordered a variety of food, the gyro and Greek salad stood out as the most delicious. One notable item, the lamb and spaghetti was good, the lamb was awesome but the spaghetti was just okay, granted it’s not an Italian restaurant so that’s understandable. Don’t forget about dessert! I tried my first baklava and my goodness, it’s all I can think about now! The most scrumptious pastry I’ve ever had."

"Overall it is a nice restaurant and bakery. The food is pretty good, but there are better Greek restaurants in Tarpon. Hellas is more of a tourist restaurant and there prices are a little higher than most because their on the sponge docks. All of our food was good, but nothing was amazing. However, the server was great and super attentive. Definitely recommend the bakery, but not the main restaurant as much."

"While the restaurant may appear bustling and challenging to secure a table, rest assured, the service is remarkably swift, and the ambiance is exceptionally comfortable. Our server, Constantine (apologies if misspelled), exhibited impressive knowledge and unwavering politeness, despite a momentary oversight in taking my drink order at a table of seven – a lighthearted touch to the evening. The highlight for me was the appetizers; we indulged in six, along with complimentary bread. The hummus was delightfully flavorful, the Greek salad outstanding, and the Saganaki (flame cheese) reached top-notch status. Moving on to the entrees, they proved to be delectable, with the lamb chops standing out, although the absence of presentation gave the plates a buffet-like appearance. The bakery and dessert options added another layer of delight, prompting us to take home a box filled with assorted treats. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and it's no surprise that this establishment stands as one of the most popular destinations in the area."

"Not a secret I guess given the long lines of people at this restaurant. Food was delicious and service top notch! Reminds us of the good old days of neighborhood diners where good food and service brings you back again and again. Be prepared to wait for a table, leave your no. and go check out the shops and they text you when your table is ready. The wait today was over an hour! There is also an attached bakery with mouth watching treats though we were too full to sample this time. I read in reviews here that there is a parking lot for the restaurant behind it so definitely good to know. We feel that we overpaid for parking opp the sponge factory and realized cheaper parking is available if you drive down the main stretch. Next time!"
