“Emma is a true asset to Rusty Bellies. She was professional, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. From recommending great menu options to refilling our drinks before we even asked, her attention to detail was outstanding. To the owners and managers: you have a rare gem on your team, take good care of her.“

“beautiful presentation and great food.“

“I stopped in to place a to-go order, and the women who started this place took great of me. They were super friendly and down to Earth. I sat and enjoyed a water and coffee while my order was prepared and also was given a coffee to-go. I got home and enjoyed a wonderful meal! I will for sure be back. Be sure to check this place out if you're looking for a welcoming vibe, friendly staff, and damn good food.

Update: I went back and dined in. It was excellent!“

“awesome food at a fair price. top notch service“

“I had been looking for some smoked mullet around where my family live, but all their places were closed or out of them. So I was very happy to come across this place while visiting a friend in the area.
Everyone was very helpful and friendly. And the smoked mullet was amazing and lasted great during my flight back home! Best fish there is, in my opinion. Definitely recommend this place as they have such a great variety of fish and seafood!“

“love their pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich it's so delicious“

“One of my go to bars. I always feel so comfortable here. Nick, the owner, always treats us like family. As well as his bartenders. Love Tina and Solomon 😁 Absolutely recommend stopping in for some wings and drinks.“

“We enjoyed a lovely lunch today. Xanthy was our server and she is fantastic!“

“great food! great atmosphere! a favorite in tarpon!“

“Awesome food .....great service....this place is the bomb!“

“Looked like all open air seating- fans and gentle breeze were great thanks to the weather. We were protected from seagulls where we sat and they were very entertaining!!! Bar centered in the inhabited area. Bar looked happy and busy. The place was GREAT for an afternoon at the bar with some snack food but Menu was more limited than expected. Grouper bites apps were plentiful and good for an appetizer. Fried shrimp not as good. Seared tuna nice. Greek dressing not a good choice.
Waitress was efficient but not around often.
It’s great for an afternoon snack and spirits around the bar. Not the evening I was expecting for a dinner out.
3 of us: We had 1 soft drink, 2 appetizers and 2 entrees: :$78 & change, $92 with tip.
They had many available tables the whole time , which was great for the idea of having a (limited) bite to eat in Tarpon Springs on a Friday evening. Fun to be outdoors“

“What a fantastic experience at Tarpon Turtle! My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful evening — the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive and friendly, and the food was outstanding.
The highlight of the night was hands down the blackened Grouper sandwich. We both ordered it and agreed it was the best either of us has ever had — perfectly seasoned, beautifully cooked, and incredibly fresh. You can really taste the quality.
If you're in the Tarpon Springs area and looking for a great meal, do yourself a favor and visit Tarpon Turtle. We'll absolutely be back!“

“staff is friendly and provides great service! Food is fantastic!“
