We moved to the south 9 years ago but every time we back to visit NY we must stop here. It is the best. Tasted with my father first time in the 80's, bringing my kids now and they love it too!
Love this spot. Started going here on my last year of High School with my dad. It was his favorite spot and it became mine. Had my children and it became their spot too. Now they are grown adults and we all make sure we go there every now and then. Good luck with your business in the years to come!!! Great food! Great prices!!!
My go to Souvlaki truck and favorite one as well! Best in Astoria Queens! Always ask for more hero bread..you can never have enough bread!! Rain, snow or sleet this place is always a great place to have a quick bite and has great customer service! They’re also located in different parts of Queens so that also comes in handy!
Best souvlaki sticks east side of the Mississippi River. Frankie does a great job ensuring that everyone is promptly taken care of in an efficient fashion. Him and his workers are extremely polite. Food is ALWAYS fresh and very reasonably priced. My family and I have been coming here since the early 90s when his dad was running it out of a cart. There's a reason they've expanded their business the way they have! Highly, highly recommend for anyone and for any occasion!
Food here is always good clean and delicious. It is on a busy corner so you get to watch the shoppers go by while eating your meal at a couple of tables provided. Most New Yorkers know this old spot has been here for a long while. hope they are here forever.
Had the gyro player for lunch take away, it is simply amazing.
The meat is well grilled well cooked, the fries are very crunchy and well fried. Even in the box they are still crunchy when eaten at home.
Rice is seasoned well, if anything the spicy sauce is not really spicy, maybe need to ask extra extra spicy next time.
Not too many people early for lunch, easy to order, fast to get it. Very well priced and the portion is large enough, maybe a bit too much for one person.
Will try other items from the menu for sure, their sticks looks amazing but that will be for the next order.
Keep going guys great job !!
The best! Can not go to queens and not stop here! Its sooo fresh and flavorful.! 10/10
Super nice guy taking orders, prices are fair for quality and portion and the people working there are quick to prepare your food. There is always people here which is a good sign for fresh food.
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ❤ The Flavor hasn't changed since I was a kid... ALWAYS Fresh n Delicious!! I Live in Lake George now but EVERY trip home to Astoria, I make sure to Stop by n grab 1 or 10 to take with me lol.

My wife comes from a Greek family and while visiting her sister here in NYC with our kids, she told us about “The best food truck souvlaki in NYC”…
And that’s it all right !! Franky, his brother and the gang are super cool and friendly and the food they cook every single day at the corner of 31st ave and Steinway st is beyond delicious ! My kids loved it !
You MUST try everything - including the exclusive fries with fetta cheese , possibly the only one on the world 😂
We’ll miss you guys ! Hope we can get back soon !
YASSOU ! OPA !!! 🇬🇷🇺🇸🇧🇷

One of the best souvlaki food trucks in my opinion. I grew up in Astoria and remember ordering food from them when they were only a small push cart on the corner of Steinway and 31st Avenue. Back then they only sold souvlaki sticks with a slice of Italian bread. And I think it was Franky’s dad or uncle that used to man the grill. Was so happy to see a few years ago when they upgraded to a big food truck and introduced other items on the menu. Now they offer lamb, pork, shrimp and beef sticks, rice, French fries and hot dogs. Whatever meat you decide on is always perfectly cooked, tasty and juicy. I think the key is the marinate they use. The meat is just so tasty and tender. I’ve had them with the lemon, bbq sauce, tzatziki and the spicy sauce—all are tasty. And it’s a bargain at only $3 a stick. The French fries is also good, surprisingly. I recommend getting the fries with feta cheese—so good!
There is usually a crowd of people around the food truck. They even have plastic chairs for people to sit, eat and hang out in. I’ve heard people say that they’ve traveled from other neighborhoods just to get food from them. I believe it. I think they also now have a second food truck in a different location to meet demand.
I think everyone should try Franky’s. Can’t go wrong with their food and you’ll be helping to support a family owned business.
Tip: Cash only but there’s an ATM attached to truck. Call and order in advance to skip the lines.

Great spot for a quick souvlaki. My go to is the pork or chicken souvlaki sandwich. The meat is tasty because they cook it on the charcoal. I usually eat it on the hood of my car since I love my food hot. The prices are very reasonable and it’s easy to park your car.
