Uncle Gussy's in
New York (NY)

Best run food truck in NYC. Henry is a great man and treats every customer with sincere care.

This restaurant deserves the title of best without question. This was shared between me and someone else. You'll find every surface clean in this well-lit restaurant. We waited longer than expected for our food and noticed others waiting for drinks. Make this place a stop.

Well the place is full of hype but the reality is the way over priced for a food truck, chicken seasoning is ok but over cooked basically dry chicken lettuce i believe they don’t even wash their lettuce before serving. But the worst part is attitude gentleman at the cashier using two different credit card machine i was trying to tap in the one on the left (previously the guy infront of me paid that machine) anyway that’s not the problem, the problem is the guy at the register cursed me in his language probably he thought that i won’t understand, he said (μαλάκα) Malaka basically it means “idiot”. I guess he is right I’m idiot to spend money in his business I won’t be going there anymore and i won’t suggest anyone to eat their overpriced dry chinken

I really like Uncle Gussy's and so do 80% of the other corporate drones I subsist with (to any snooper: I like my job a lot I am joking). The food is flavorful and very filling and always fresh and the service is jovial. I do need to enable the standing desk after eating here because it is a bit heavy but always worth the trade-off.

Omg the pork slouvlaki on rice here is EXCELLENT. Better than any I’ve had in nyc restaurants. Tender, flavorful, properly charred. So good!!!

The food here beats most competitors. Workers at this place are notably pleasant. The food pleased while service stood out. The mood here makes you want to stay. Having just become a local resident, this restaurant was a delightful find.

This food truck was such an awesome find on my walk home Friday. There was a bit of a line but it moves fast and the service was super nice. I ordered a grilled chicken thigh with rice and one with lamb and beef. Both super flavorful and tender and the spicy sauce they add provides a nice punch. I’ll definitely be back.

I was surprised to already see a line at 11:30am on a Thursday but it moves very quickly. And having tried the chicken thighs on fries, I can understand why people wait. The chicken is flavourful and moist, the fries are seasoned and crispy on the outside. The lettuce helps to balance out the stronger flavours. You can even order ahead online for pickup to avoid the line!

Amazing. It hurts to have to wait in a long line, but it speaks to the quality of food you're getting. Generous portions without compromising on taste. Food truck at its best, and fast Greek at its best. Go a little earlier or later to avoid the lunch rush.

Gyro over rice cost $13 when lamb over rice in a normal halal food truck cost $8-9. They differentiate themselves by online ordering service (cost extra $2) and high quality food. I prefer not to pay extra for the difference but I guess ppl work in the area don't mind.

Great place to stop for a pita the sauce and the pita bread are really good. Watch out that there is usually a long line at 12:30 after that there is almost no line during week. If you ask for the pita top it with fries, a dollar really worth it

When in NYC I have to stop by Uncle Gussy’s. The Lamb pita sandwich is so good .

Best quality food truck in New York City. I would eat here every day if I could. Chicken was perfectly marinated and grilled. Greek salad was fresh, and they put enough good quality feta and the better Greek olives in it. The tzatziki sauce was exactly the way it should be with a bit of garlic in it. Very affordable for New York City compared to the store fronts. The staff is great and can handle the long lines, unlike the store fronts.

$20 for two of us to eat a NY phenomenal street vendor food truck. “Eat where the locals eat.” And we did. Took lunch over to the lobby of nearby high rise and ate in the warmth. Wife and I both had the gyro lamb/beef combo with the works. The spicy sauce is tasty and has a good kick. Tzatziki sauce cut that heat just right.

Jul 2019 photo on Park Ave & 51st, was looking forward to try their talked about Gyro. Unfortunately for my taste was too greasy, the meat was a bit dry and lacked seasoning. Have tried better Gyro's. Tzatziki sauce was more like mayonnaise. Although GREAT packaging & presentation, but prefer tastier food. Dear owner, looking forward to a revisit in 2022. The review, photos and taste are 100% correct as platter was served on Jul 2019. I'm looking forward to tzatziki and not mayo this time.

A little greasy. For the area, different taste from all the regulars. Grab take out and eat in a near by public park. Line is long but moves quickly. Cash only!

I got the chicken with rice and the seasoned fries. It was really tasty; specially the fries. Go early if you want lamb. They go through it pretty fast.

looking for Greek & Mediterranean food options in Midtown East? Uncle Gussy's blue truck has you covered. the big food truck is parked at 51st and Park Avenue from 10 am to 3 pm --not 4 pm as listed on the truck's website and elsewhere...I learned this hard way by showing up between 3-4 pm 4X and not finding the truck! ? Guys, for the love of God fix your website and Yelp + Google listings! ?? the truck is well-maintained and there's typically a line during most prime-time lunch hours. however if you go too late in the day, the truck will typically run out of certain menu items like fries or gyro meat as i found that to be the case, last week. the menu has something for everyone: comfort foods, relatively healthy eats, sandwiches, platters, salads, and more. there's also soft drinks on the menu. ordered a chicken pita at Uncle Gussy's most recently and it did not disappoint. you can taste the freshness and quality of the veggies and chicken on the first bite. the lettuce had crunch, tomato had that burst of tomato-ey citrus and the chicken had that firm juiciness which you expect from grill led meats. the tzatziki and hot sauce punched up the flavor with cool creaminess and a touch of spice. all in all, you could taste all those flavors separately and enjoy how they combined to give you that simple classic Greek comfort food satisfaction which is not easy to duplicate unless you go to an eatery that knows what they are doing. the staff is super friendly and kind. hospitality is a lost art but even at this food truck whether you're a regular or a newcomer, the folks here are jovial and upbeat. tip them.

Delicious Greek salad with chicken! I ordered online and avoided that crazy line on Park Avenue. I just walked up to the front and told them I ordered online. Very efficient, was ready in 15 minutes of my ordering online. I will be back, looking forward to it!

Simply the best food truck in the city. Used to work in midtown for years and would take a little walk to the friendliest guys serving you the most delicious lunch. Returned today (long overdue) with my car parked right in front. Did not disappoint ????

One of the best Greek places in all of NYC. Located at the corner of 51st and park av...the food is just delicious. I usually get the pork sausage or pork souvlaki Hercules which is about $16 but definitely worth the price.

I got the combo platter and it was fresh, hot and delicious. It’s pricey for a food truck but the food is excellent so it’s worthy. I’ve had the regular gyro and that was my least favorite because of the portion for your money. The Combo Platter with chicken and gyro meat accompanied with rice and salad. The Hercules takes it up a notch with Greek fries and Greek salad with feta and olives. Quick, efficient service!

I was meeting my BF for lunch one weekday near his office, and he recommended Uncle Gussy's for Greek. I could always use some Greek food, and this place was also on my bookmarks list, so it was perfect. We arrived a little after 1 pm and waiting about 15 minutes (according to BF, there's always a line). We decided to go halfsies on the Hercules (yellow rice, Greek salad, pita bread, and fries) with chicken, and added a side of lamb. This was more than enough for two people, especially since they don't skimp on the meat. We were still full at dinnertime. I prefered the lamb over the chicken because the chicken has this charred flavor I don't really care for, which my BF loves, so if you like barbecued stuff, this one's for you. The more you eat the platter, the heavier it feels, and the saltier it tastes, but the Greek salad definitely helps cut that. It's worth feeling like a beached whale afterwards, but just make sure you have plenty of water available - you'll need it. Tip - cash only!

Ordered the gyro platter, the meat is delicious!! And the platter was $9, which is really affordable in America Standard (cause everything here is fraggin overpriced, even foodpanda is $8 and it doesn’t even taste anything like chinese food). And the portion is really nice, enough for a fill grown man’s lunch

Great food truck. The food is good (specifically the gyro platter) and plentiful for a reasonable price considering its Midtown location. The service is somewhat slow by food truck standards - I had to wait around 10 minutes for my order, but I will concede that it was a busy time for them during the 2PM lunch rush.

One of my favorite places for lunch in midtown east. The owner, Nick, is a really nice guy and cares about his customers. Always a line down the block, but it moves very quickly. Once you put your order in, your food comes out in less than a minute.

General note as many people have said there is definitely a line if you go during lunch time. I waited about 20 minutes when i went around 1pm. Once I got to the counter i ordered my Gyro platter with the works. It only took about a minute to get my food which was quite refreshing after waiting in line for 20 minutes. Once you open the container you see the beautifully plated food which a nice balance of colors to make it extremely eye appealing. The food itself was cooked very well. The pork souvlaki was extremely savory and flavorful. The rice was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The tzatziki sauce sauce complements the meat very well and also takes some of the heat away from the hot sauce. Which the hot sauce itself its very flavorful without packing too much kick. The onions were cooked very well but i wish there was a little more flavor there, same with the lettuce and tomato. Overall the meal was very satisfying and for under 10 dollars you get a huge amount of food. I will definitely consider going again but probably at an earlier or later time because it seems that there will always be long lines during lunch time.
