I got a 50-50 burger & yucca fries to go. My car smelled so good on the way home that it was hard not to just start eating at the red lights. The burger was legit. I wasn't the biggest fan of the citrus pickles but the mac sauce was awesome and let me tell you-- that burger patty was *so good*. It didn't surprise me when I found out that they use Fresh From Florida ingredients. BIG fan of that! Not pictured, but equally loved: the yucca fries. They came with a citrus aioli that paired perfectly. I'm usually great at sharing but it took everything in me to let my hubby take a bite. I mean, I let him, but still. Go local!

Burger was great simple and fresh loved the homemade bun! We also really enjoyed the fries!read more

Who knew we could get amazing Colorado cuisine and more in the sleepy local part of Tarpon Springs!…read moreWe've never had Colorado green chili or a Colorado burrito and we were blown away! The chicharrones appetizer is fresh, hot, made in house and still crackling when it comes to the table! Delicious! The huge nachos with steak had like an entire medium rare steak cut up on them. Our blackened wings were crunchy as spicy, with a nice dry rub! I had to order a Colorado burrito with green chili, black beans, carnitas and more. It was yummy and filling. Breakfast tomorrow! My wife got the ghost pepper burger medium rare! Well seasoned and atomic, it hit the spot and obliterated it. Our service from Macy was on point. We got two large green chilis to go! Meals for a week! Life is good with a new unique local restaurant!

Tom Terrific here with another honest review…read more Too bad the bartender wasn't honest. I stopped in on a saturday to have a single beer and check this new place out. I was very pleased at how they placed all the TVs, games, tables and bar. As a whole this establishment looked clean and well put together. I noticed the people at the bar next to me ordered food and it came in a nicely arranged plate and the food looked delicious. I ordered a Michalob Ultra draft and it came cold. I told male bartender I was only going to have one drink. I asked the him to take care of my bill and gave him a $5 bill. I saw him go to the cash register. I finished my drink and as I prepared to leave I asked the bartender how much the draft beer was. He said, $4.50. HE NEVER RETURNED MY CHANGE and simply kept the 50 cents without saying a word. I thought that action was pretty ballsy. So whether it's 50 cents or 50 dollars your change should always be returned to you unless the customer says to keep the change. A small grievance - yes. But one that needs to be corrected by the owner. It cost him 2 stars.

Absolutely awesome place! We went here after the USF V UF game 09/06. The environment was calm when…read morewe got there but service was amazing and staff and regulars were so kind. We hung out until after midnight, service was insane. Danielle the bartender was coming out from behind the bar to serve us. The owner even made my friends fries after the kitchen was closed because it was the first time we visited. We've been waiting for a place like this in tarpon for years. There's pool, darts, music, football, and they are hoping to bring in live music soon! I have celiac disease and really can't eat most normal food lol, the bartender Danielle was so nice and brought me MULTIPLE bags of chips that were listed "gluten free" so I had something to snack on. We will definitely be back and hope everyone in the area will come and hang out!

This place is amazing! Anyone who knows me, knows I love me some Jamaican food, mon! I was so happy…read moreI found this place right before a weekend vacation to Tarpon Springs/Clearwater. It ended up being the first place we ate for lunch as we arrived. There is a decent amount of parking (tip: there is additional parking in the back) The restaurant is huge and can easily hold a party, which supposedly happens on Saturday nights. The decor and smells transport me right back to the island. The service was also spectacular...shout out to our server, the owners son. He is very humble and has outstanding customer service skills. Now onto the food! Literally everything we ordered was amazing and tasted great. The Jerk chicken was cooked to perfection. It had the right amount of spices and was really tender. But the oxtails stole the show. I haven't had oxtails in over a decade and a half, and these were amazing. The sauce was so good that I was putting spoonfuls on my rice even after the meat was done. The rice was good and the steamed cabbage tasted really fresh. There was even a special sauce provided that is made by the owner, which is like a family recipe that is a purée of fresh vegetables! The beef patty and coco bread was awesome too. No lie, if we lived close I would be a regular here. Respect !

The place is smaller on the inside with maybe five or six seats at the bar area and a few tables but they do have seating outside as well. This is an old house so there is only so much you can do with the space. They do not offer food but do have some snacks. If you have the munchies and right next door is an amazing smelling restaurant if you're lucky enough to be able to get in. We will continue to go and enjoy all their new beers they have to offer.

If you're in Tarpon and haven't been to Tarpon Family Diner yet... what are you even doing with…read moreyour life? Hubby and I went for breakfast and let me just say -- this place is the definition of small, local, and absolutely DELICIOUS. It's cozy (read: if you blink you might miss it), but that just adds to the charm. Limited outdoor seating, but honestly it feels like you're in on a little secret breakfast club. I ordered the blueberry pancakes and I'm not being dramatic when I say they were basically blueberry masterpieces. Not those sad, three-blueberries-scattered-on-top situations. These had the freshest blueberries baked right into every bite. Like... someone's grandma was back there lovingly placing them one by one. The husband went with the hash and was immediately silent -- which is how I measure excellence. If he stops talking and just nods while eating, we've found a winner. And Brittney? 10/10. She kept checking on us without being that "hovering while you're mid-chew" server. Just the perfect amount of attentive. Water refills before we even realized we needed them. Breakfast ninja status. If you love supporting local spots with great food, friendly service, and that classic hometown diner feel, Tarpon Family Diner is it. We'll absolutely be back... probably next weekend... because apparently I now judge all pancakes against theirs.
