Food was cold and bland. Poor presentation. Dingy and dark, some of the outdoor fans were off. Will not go back. Not worth the money. Poor serviceThe flaming cheese was good. Perfect place for dog dining...not people.

Start off by saying that the waitress staff was awesome and very attentive. Well the food was not good. The Saganaki was free and still not good. The gyro platter was cold and the potatoes had enough vinegar to dye Easter eggs. Now the kicker. Wife and I are in the middle of dinner and here comes a bartender or host and lights and smokes a cigarette at the back bar. Not coming back.

Got the Greek vegetable pasta. Was so good they give so much that 2 to 3 people can eat this. The feta fries were the best I have had, the lemon chicken soup was delicious! I had the Greek coffee was amazing! The waitress was so nice.

They had a great ambiance. Sitting on the patio was pleasant. There are fans to cool you off and live music to entertain.2 out of the 3 dishes I ordered were prepared poorly. The fried chicken sandwhich and the creamy pasta. The char broiled octopus was fantastic. They do need to scale back on the oil.We struggled to get our drinks refilled and our waitress did not care about our experience. With all the other wonderful dining options around Tarpon, I will not return.

If you're not a dog person , do not go here, a dog ran under my table. The food was lukewarm to cold and bland. Very basic meals. If you're into your spices , this is not the place for you. Overpriced and underwhelming

We have been going to Tarpon springs for over 20 years, we even got married at St. Michael’s shrine (rest in peace Goldie). This is the firsts time we have eaten at Mama’s. We ate outside on the side facing cross street, which is the full bar side. There were lots of fans going so they created a pleasant breeze. For an appetizer, we had the tzatziki which came with pita points-yummy. I had a shock top (cutest little beer glass but they had 2 for 1 which made it better (for me). For our main course, we had Gyro’s which was on the sandwich menu. They were the best Gyros we have had at tarpon springs in a very long time, the gyro meat was fresh, the tomatoes were fresh, they sandwich was very good. And we have eaten at just about every place in Tarpon. Unfortunately, we didn’t get our server’s name and it wasn’t on the check or the receipt but she was very attentive and cheerful without being over bearing. The only drawback was because we were outside, there was someone around the corner at the bar smoking and that smell wafted our way ( I think it was a contractor ).Their menu consisted of the usual Greek food and if it’s as fresh as the Gyro, it would be fantastic. I very highly recommend Mama’s. By the way, they feature a belly dancer on some days so that would be an extra treat. The restaurant is located such as you can enter two ways, we entered on the cross street side, which is a side street but you can also enter through the shopping plaza. Hope you enjoy!
Nice place try itParking: Expensive $12 a crack don’t forget your not in New York or New England, lts tarpon springs. But if you are going to be there all day ok.

Mama’s at the Sponge Docks is our favorite place to eat when in Tarpon Springs. Because we are local we have the opportunity to visit Tarpon Springs quite often; especially when family is visiting us from up north. We have been to all the eateries in Tarpon Springs and Mama’s is our number one choice. The service is always excellent and the food never disappoints. The atmosphere is simple, but we love the live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Every item on the menu is delicious. I always get Marides (smelts) because I won’t cook fried foods or fish in my house. Being Greek, I know what the foods should taste like and I have to say, 99.9% of the time it tastes like it came from your own kitchen!Highly recommend and visit the front entrance of the Sponge Exchange on Dodecanese Blvd to get your coupons for Mama’s dining.Kali Orexi!Vegetarian options: Salads, greens, falafel, seafood, fishes, and more!Kid-friendliness: Kids have a great time when they go.Wheelchair accessibility: You have to enter the restaurant from the Sponge exchange where there are ramps. The side entrances only steps.
