Reviews Uncle Gussy's

I love this place. I usually get chicken breast over fries which comes with a little salad and pita. I add sauteed onions, and hot sauce with tzatziki. Hot sauce is spicy enough but if you aren't into heat don't get it. Also, they put a liberal amount of sauce on the food so if you don't like that add it to the side. Even if there is a long line the wait is not bad at all. The service is great, the guys who take orders and hand them out are extremely nice and friendly. Price is pretty decent for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend this truck. It's pretty much a must go if I am in the area.

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.

Excellent service. I walked up to a friendly smile and less than 5 mins later had meals for three, that ended with leftovers. Amazing gyros, easy and affordable as well.

$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.

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!

This is a food truck located on Park Avenue in the low 50s. The food is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We always get a gyro with red onions, Lettuce and sauce on the side. The gyro is HUGE. It's about $10 and is very fresh. The staff is so friendly and personable. My brother told me about the spot and my brother is very particular about where he buys his food. He normally doesn't eat truck food. This is the ONLY place where he will go. If you're in the area, stop by and try their tasty food. I think they close around 3:30 or 4pm so it's best to just call them up for confirmation. I hope they never leave NYC. With so many things changing, it's a nice feeling to know that good people who sell good food are still around.

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.

Food truck , reasonable price by Manhattan standards . Taste was great .. be ready to wait in a queue at peak lunch time .. service was too quick though compensated for wait time .. try chicken gyro 😀

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.
