Tarpon Springs, Florida
Pinellas County · 122 restaurants
Tarpon Springs is home to the largest percentage of Greek Americans of any U.S. city, a legacy of the sponge-diving industry that Greek immigrants built here starting in the early 1900s. The Sponge Docks along Dodecanese Boulevard remain the heart of the city's dining scene, where Greek restaurants and bakeries serve pastitsio, gyros, and baklava to tourists and locals alike. With 121 restaurants packed into a small historic city, Tarpon Springs' Greek Orthodox Epiphany celebration each January — one of the largest in the country — draws crowds that fill every table on Dodecanese Boulevard.

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
