 13. Hellas Restaurant & Bakery 785 Dodecanese Blvd., Tarpon Springs "One of my ultimate fav spots in Tarpon Springs Florida! The cocktails are so tasty and perfect, I always get the white sangria! The authentic taste of Greece with their chicken souvlaki and Greek salad. The chicken souvlaki is perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, while the Greek salad bursts with freshness and flavor from crisp vegetables and tangy feta cheese. Overall, a delightful culinary experience that transports you to the Mediterranean with every bite." - Christina B. Photo via Hellas Restaurant & Bakery/Website

Britton Plaza Plaza Roster Highlights: Play it Again Sports, Tapper Pub, Burlington, Publix, Tampa Buffett Though it's a shell of its former self, Britton Plaza is still one of Tampa's most iconic shopping centers. Sure, the Plaza 8 movie theater was converted into a mega church, and Big Lots, Stein Mart, and Tuesday Morning have all packed up and left. But the 30-acre plaza still has some worthy tenants like Tapper Pub, a decent BCF and the area's best Taco Bell. 3802-3950 S. Dale Mabry Hwy., Tampa
