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.
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.
Fast Clean Delicious. This may be the best food truck in the city.
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.
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!
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.
This is a hard spot to beat! Food quality, Customer Service and the energy here are unmatched. I have been going here for a while now and every single meal has been outstanding. Thank you Uncle Gussy!
$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.
SOo, caught Uncle Gussy's on a very light foot traffic day (last time the line was around the corner and extending up Park Ave). What immediately impressed me was the large and very clear informational sign, instructing guests on what and how to order! Ordered their biggest meal, the Hercules, since I was sharing and wanted (more than) enough for self. The food was great (!!) as expected. The quantity, though, is what prompted emotions of love and will guarantee a return. Uncle Gussy's 'feeds you like family' and this can't be overstated. The service was focused and very friendly, and as a native-NYer I cherish that. Very glad I bumped into UG on the way back from running around in midtown this week. - a very satisfied Guy
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!
