Walk into Spiros Taverna on NW Federal Highway and the first thing you’ll notice isn't just the smell of roasting lamb. It’s the noise. Not the annoying kind, but that specific, high-energy hum of a place that’s actually busy because the food is good, not just because it’s convenient. This spot has basically become the unofficial headquarters for Greek food in Jensen Beach.
If you’re looking at the Spiros Taverna Jensen Beach menu, you’re probably trying to decide if it’s a "quick pita" kind of day or a "sit down for three courses" kind of night. Honestly, it’s both. They’ve managed to bridge that weird gap between a casual lunch joint and a place you’d actually take your parents for a nice Saturday dinner.
The Heavy Hitters: Gyros and Platters
Most people start with the Famous Gyro Sandwich. It’s $11.95, which feels like a steal in 2026 when a fast-food burger often costs more. It’s a blend of seasoned beef and lamb, sliced thin and stuffed into a pita with the usual suspects: tomatoes, red onions, lettuce, and a healthy dose of tzatziki.
But if you’re actually hungry—like, skipped-lunch hungry—the platters are the way to go.
- Gyro Platter ($16.95): You get the meat, the pita, and two sides. It’s basically a deconstructed sandwich but twice the size.
- Trio Platter ($22.95): This is the "I can't decide" option. You get gyro meat, souvlaki (marinated pork), and grilled chicken. It’s a lot of protein.
- Moussaka ($18.95): This is the soul food of Greece. Layers of eggplant, potato, and ground beef topped with a thick, creamy béchamel sauce. It’s heavy, it’s rich, and it’s perfect.
The souvlaki here is pork tenderloin, which is a nice touch. A lot of places use cheaper cuts that end up chewy, but Spiros keeps it pretty tender. They also have a Lamb Shank ($26.95) that’s braised in a tomato-based giardiniera. It’s one of those "falls off the bone if you look at it too hard" situations.
Breakfast at a Greek Taverna?
Yeah, it sounds weird at first. But Spiros opens at 7:00 AM every single day. They’ve got this "Olympic Breakfast" section that’s surprisingly legit.
You’ve got your standard eggs and bacon, sure. But the Greek Scramble ($10.95) with fresh spinach, tomatoes, and feta is the move. Or the Gyro Benedict ($12.95). Replacing Canadian bacon with gyro meat and topping it with hollandaise is a stroke of genius that more places should copy.
They serve breakfast until 11:00 AM on weekdays and until Noon on weekends. It’s a solid alternative to the usual greasy spoon diners in the area, especially if you want something that feels a bit fresher.
The Stuff Most People Skip (But Shouldn't)
Everyone orders the calamari. It’s fine. It’s $13.95 and comes with marinara. But if you want to eat like someone who actually knows the menu, look at the **Saganaki ($12.95)**.
It’s Kasseri cheese. They flame it with brandy right at your table. It’s salty, gooey, and comes with that slight char from the fire. Just make sure you have enough pita to scoop it up.
Then there’s the Spanakopita. You can get it as an appetizer for $11.95 or a full platter for $18.95. The filo dough is flaky, which is the only way spanakopita should ever be served. If it’s soggy, send it back—but here, it usually holds up.
Salads and Light Bites
If you’re trying to be "good," the Greek Salad ($12.95) is huge. It’s not just a pile of iceberg lettuce; it’s got the kalamata olives, the pepperoncinis, and a massive slab of feta on top.
- Mediterranean Rice Bowl ($15.95): You pick your protein (gyro, chicken, souvlaki, or falafel) over rice with sautéed tomatoes and onions.
- Vegetarian Gyro ($11.95): Loaded with roasted eggplant, red peppers, and cucumbers.
- Dolmades ($9.95): Stuffed grape leaves served hot with a lemon sauce. These are polarizing—you either love the vinegary bite or you don't.
The Vibe and Service
Jensen Beach is a laid-back town, and Spiros fits that. It’s located at 4200 NW Federal Hwy. It’s clean, the decor is bright, and they have some outdoor seating which is great during the five weeks of the year when Florida weather is actually nice.
Service is usually pretty fast. Servers like Brandon and Nick get mentioned a lot in local circles for actually knowing what’s in the food and not just hovering awkwardly. It’s a well-oiled machine. You can tell the management actually pays attention to the floor.

Is It Worth It?
Honestly, yeah.
Prices are reasonable for the Treasure Coast. You can get out of there for under $20 for lunch, or spend $40 for a full dinner with wine. Speaking of wine, they’ve got Greek imports like **Anemos ($45 a bottle)** if you want to stay on theme.
If you’re planning a big get-together, they also do "Party Pans." A half pan of Pastichio (think Greek lasagna) feeds about 8-10 people for $90. It’s a way better move for an office lunch than another stack of cardboard pizzas.
Actionable Next Steps:
Check the clock before you head out; they stop serving breakfast at 11:00 AM on weekdays. If you're going for dinner on a Friday or Saturday night, expect a short wait or try to grab a seat at the bar. If it's your first time, stick to the Trio Platter to get a sample of everything they do best. For the best value, the lunch-sized gyros are hard to beat for a quick, filling meal. Regardless of what you order, make sure to ask for extra tzatziki on the side—you'll want it for the fries.
