Uncle Gussy's

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

Uncle Gussy’s is hands-down one of the best Greek food experiences I’ve had in NYC. For anyone who works in Midtown, you’ll know what I mean – there’s always a line starting around 11 am, and for good reason. I always go for the Hercules gyro with extra chicken, and it never disappoints. The meat is perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and pairs beautifully with their fresh tzatziki sauce. The fries are crisp, perfectly portioned, and the rice is spot-on – not too greasy, just the right amount of flavor. They add in lettuce, tomato, feta, and olives for balance, making every bite a pleasure. Beyond the food, their service is top-notch. The online orders are always on time, with every detail right. The team is friendly, efficient, and it’s clear that Uncle Gussy’s is run with care. You get great quality and generous portions at a fair price – something we need more of in NYC. In a nutshell, you pay for what you get.

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.

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!

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.

Food is good but they gyp you on the tzaziki sauce. I ordered 4 total (2 with each dish and 1 extra for each dish) and they gave me only 1. Not fair really as I don't want to eat 2 dry dishes with no tzaziki. Will skip going forward if they don't want to give you what you pay for.
