The food is a lil expensive for some skirt steak, fries, and salad. This order came out to about $32. The service was very good. Employees were very nice! Everything was seasoned well including the fries! read more

Gave them another shot following a few months hiatus. I believe they have increased their prices (and maybe it's not reflected on their truck's price list). Not sure if they always had a service charge of 4% (but certainly do now). All that aside... what's inexcusable is that they serve you meat that is burnt and dry. Done with this place. read more

Love the zucchini balls - this place is delicious. A little pricy but always delicious.

Huge portions and sensible menu that's quite easy to order from. At lunch there's a super long line mostly full of people who work nearby that moves really fast. One portion is certainly big enough to share. We got the chicken plate with the works. Fantastic. You will smell like garlic afterwards but it's worth it. we ate on the church steps right behind the food truck as others were doing. read more

Uncle Gussy's - Chicken Breast Platterp - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Still as delicious as I remember! When I was still working in the Financial District, I'd have Uncle Gussy's Chicken Breast platter at least once every 2 weeks. Pre-pandemic times, that's right. That's how I've gotten to know Nicko and his team over social media because I was a regular. Fast forward to the other week. My husband was near their Park Avenue truck and the thought of having their chicken platters and souvlakis were just too good so I ordered online, messaged Nicko and he said, "I got you, guys." Hubby comes home and I see that Nicko threw in some extra fries with feta cheese! What a treat! Thanks again for that! Anyway, safe to say we tremendously enjoyed that meal. I absolutely love their tzatziki and hot sauces too. Heck even their simple side salad that's in every platter is divine. And the pita. And the rice. And that everything tastes fresh and delicious. I somehow can't understand how they could make a simple chicken breast to be delicious and more importantly, not dried out, which tends to be the case mostly but not here. Absolutely cannot wait for our next Uncle Gussy's meal! Thanks again to Nicko and the team! :) read more

The Food here is Fresh and delicious. The French fries are seasoned. Service moves pretty fast and friendly.

Decent food and price is alright for what it is in midtown. Not the best cart you can get around the area but they work quick so even if the lines seem a little long, it'll go down quick. I personally like the other gyro cart on 53rd more than this one but to each their own. This spot will always be popular during lunchtime. Nothing too amazing or stands out in regards to their food. read more

Friendly staff and big portions here - I got "The Hercules" combo (lamb + chicken) with the works (white sauce + hot sauce + grilled onions). I came by for a late lunch, so there was no line and food was quick and hot. Definitely one of my favorite halal carts. read more

Great food truck near midtown. My coworker and I have gone here a few times and we've never been disappointed. My go to is the lamb gyro, which is absolutely delicious! The pricing for size of the gyro is great. I always get my gyro with tzatziki and the extra hot sauce. I love hot sauce and am usually disappointed by the amount of heat that's in most hot sauces, but this one packs a punch, and would suggest getting the mild hot sauce if you're not a fan of spice. Aside from the great food, the service is always great and on point. This is very busy food truck with typically a long line, but they do a great job at taking orders quickly and efficiently. If you're in a time crunch or don't feel like waiting on a line, you can go to their website and order online for pickup. read more

I used to love uncle gussy's but I feel like they cut back on cost. I lined up two weeks ago around 11:45 am. I usually go around that time since the line is shorter. I was super excited to get their pork souvlaki over fries because all their dishes never disappointed me and their pork is always juicy. When I received my order, I noticed that their packaging changed and also the pork souvlaki over fries looked different. I was not concerned until I bit into the pork. It was extremely dry and I was unable to finish my meal. read more

Been a patron of this truck since I started working in the area. The pandemic has changed my work status to fully remote so I haven't been able to get my fix. Just recently I found myself in the area and walked over to Uncle Gussy's spot. I ordered 2 chicken and rice platters with tzatiki and hot sauce and brought it home to my family. The rice and chicken were cooked perfectly and survived the trip home. I'm happy to see them still thriving in the heart of midtown east and the food is still fantastic! Highly recommend. Big portions and delicious food for a reasonable price. read more

Definitely lives up to the hype. Came here a few weeks ago and waited on about a 20 minute wait. Looked extremely long but they move fast and are like machines. I had 2nd thoughts about waiting but really wanted to try it. Boy was i happy i stayed on line. Absolutely incredible- i got the hercules plate it was full of gyro crispy fries and salad. Their hot sauce is amazing. The fries are amazing - the "greek salad" could definitely use some more love and dressing. But still 5 stars for me. Just go and wait on line you will not be disappointed. read more

Uncle Gussy's - Uncle gussys! - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered the lamb/gyro fries box w the works But they gave me rice instead The pros of this store was its speed and presentation The downside being that the meat and sauce were extremely mid Its probably as good as it gets in the immediate area for lunch halal trucks but its not impressive (and is $2 more than the other top halal choices like halal guys/ adels) Pass on this if you got the other two aforementioned options but otherwise this will generally do the trick read more

Uncle Gussy's - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Food truck that is known for its tzatziki sauce, and that has all of the greek food staples. It has a lot of hype around it, but I was not blown away. The food was not bad by any means, but I felt that is was very average. I got a chicken pita with fries on the side. 6 read more

Great service! They keep the line moving by having a separate window for delivery service. I had the basic gyro and fries. Boxed up so it wouldn't get soggy. Everything was made perfectly and served in under 3 minutes for $16. What's not to love! read more

Their grilled chicken salads are delicious with the white sauce, and they give you a big portion you can split with two people I always bring leftovers home delicious! read more

Great food for a great price. Friendly staff and also have an order ahead option for pick up. We shared a Hercules and then sat in the church steps and watch the people go by. Def worth a try on a good weather day. It can't be beat. Will def be back. read more

Uncle Gussy's - Gus waiting for uncle gussy with his momma. - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Saw all the reviews and was so excited to have Uncle Gussy's for lunch. I ordered the Chicken Breast Platter which comes with rice, chicken and salad for $9 (oh my word! It was a ton of food) which was awesome for being in New York City and expecting to spend a lot . Two people can eat comfortably from one platter. I will say however that next time I'll opt for the Chicken Thigh Platter as the chicken breast was a little on the dry side but it was well flavored and tasty. Ps. Plan ahead before you get super hungry, the line was a little lengthy but moved speedily. read more

This place is pretty good! Came here for a work lunch with a colleague and it was convenient. The downside is that it's cash only... so buyers beware. They had a wide range of pitas and sandwiches (check out image below). Service was quick and cast and the person at the window was helpful and courteous. I ordered the chicken pita with the works. It was cooked well and sauces were nice. Packaging was also great and included utensils and napkins which were helpful for this hand food. Overall, a good meal and may come back here in a gif. read more

It's all Greek to me! This very large Greek food truck is a full size restaurant kitchen on wheels and always has a line. I decided to wait on the long line for my lunch break and it went pretty quick and I ordered half gyro and half chicken over fries with salad. They give good amount of food and not to much to put you in that lunch food coma vibe where you can't get any work done for the rest of the day. The meats are really good and have a solid Mediterranean taste and the fries were perfectly crispy. In short: - solid lunch food truck spot - fair price - fries are good read more

Believe in the hype, it is so good. I wish I worked closer to here but I guess we can't get all of what our heart desires! First, you know a food carts good when you come at an arbitrary time like 3:20 pm on a snowy day and there's a couple of people ahead of you. The prices are reasonable and the portions are more than suffice. The staff is also really sweet and swift (can we coin that phrase)? Like finishes making my meal in 2 minutes max kind of swift. I got the combo wrap with fries inside (because like, why not) and it did not disappoint. The fries were so good (kind of wish there was more) and there was more than enough meat in it (most important part obviously). It was $9 (sandwich typically $8 but extra $1 for the fries). Definitely stopping by again. On a random side note, in case you would want to sit and eat maybe there's something closer but due to the less than lovely NYC January weather I just went to the open food court/seating area/idk what to call it at Rockefeller Center it's max a 10 minute walk- enjoy! read more

Uncle Gussy's - Gyro pita - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

Awesome I could order online and then go pickup as I walked down Park, the line was crazy ass nuts so glad I didn't order there and wait it out. Chicken pita had great spice and flavor to it, and the fries inside gave it the extra little crunch texture that I figured would be perfect. Pita was good consistency even though a little chewy, but still pretty solid. Would have liked a little more sauce as well but overall really nice quick lunch from a food truck that had online ordering which worked out perfectly. read more

Uncle Gussy's does not disappoint. If you're craving a solid Greek gyro, this seems to be the truck to go to. Prices are little higher than other food trucks, but it'll certainly satisfy. Only wish the hours of the truck expanded into the evening. read more

Whenever I go out to lunch around 12-1pm (depending on my workload), I always see an insane line stretch across the block to this food truck. I was curious what all the hype is about. It's a good thing I asked a friend about it so I know how to avoid the line completely. I was recommended to preorder my food. It costs an extra $0.50 or a dollar, don't remember which, but you get to completely cut the line that way and save yourself time. Preorder is only available up to 10am, so order early. I ordered the Chicken Hercules with Mild Hot Sauce and Add Grilled Peppers and Onions. The meal comes with yellow rice, greek salad, pita bread, and fries. The order costed around $14 with tax which isn't bad for what you're getting. The food itself is really good and I can see why people are willing to sacrifice half of their lunch hour waiting for this. Will be looking forward to trying other items on the menu in the future. read more

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! read more

Uncle Gussy's - This hot mess is The Hercules - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

High quality food truck in Midtown East that consistently puts out good food. I usually go for a chicken or gyro platter, but tried a chicken Greek salad today and really enjoyed that as well. Basic salad base with feta, olives, and a grape leaf and perfectly cooked chicken thigh on top. Make sure to get their tzatziki sauce on whatever you order too because it is some of the best I have eve had. Price is right for the quality. Be prepared for a long line, but it moves fast because these guys are pros. One of the better lunch spots in the area for sure read more

Best gyro and Hercules platter is perfection . The meat is moist , flavorful and the tzatziki sauce is perfect! With that said, you sleep on their hot sauce either or fried; their food is of great quality and always fresh ; it's my go to whenever possible and thankfully happy they deliver as well. read more

Oh my God. The reviews are true. So I have a combo over fries with the works. It was amazing. So juicy and flavorful and the right amount of everything. Although I have to admit, I added more salad and tomatoes to the dish. But I really like salad Mixed in with the rest of it. The fries are amazing. Perfectly seasoned and crispy perfection. I usually find french fries to be very bland and boring a great find as I was cycling down Park Avenue!!!! read more

Was working in the 345 Park Ave location and colleague recommended I try out the famous Uncle Gussy's for all things, Greek. The food truck is located right on Park Ave and has a very long line so be prepared to wait if you make the visit during rush hours. It reminds me of the Halal Guys which I am a fan of so I had some high expectations coming into this visit. I've ordered the chicken breast rice platter with both the white and red sauce on it. It is a (4/5) and definitely fills you up for a low price of $9. It is a bit hearty and heavy, which I never feel after eating Halal Guys. It must be the sauce or something. That said, Uncle Gussy's is a decent choice if you're looking for a nice box lunch to take with you back to the office. My box was hot, fresh, and packed a 1,2 punch Will likely return but try maybe a wrap or something lighter... read more

Uncle Gussy's - Chicken Breast With Rice (4/5) - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

After listening to an interview done by Abdus from Thinknum on this food truck, I decided I must try. As the first ever Greek food truck in NYC, they definitely have the best gyro platter. The "Hercules" comes with fries and actual greek salad with feta. The sauces are served on the side so if you do get it delivered the fries are still crisp and hot. The gyro lamb and beef was flavorful and tender. I pretty much end up mixing it all up, but there is enough to save some for later. It is a pretty hefty plate. Looking forward to trying the chicken next time! read more

One of my Favorite Greek places in the city. Food Truck located at the corner of East 51st Street and Park Ave. The Lunch Line can sometimes get pretty crazy. I love the Pork Sausage Hercules. It comes with Greek Rice, Salad and Fries with your choice of Meat. It is super delicious and worth the price. With a drink and all, comes to about $18 or $19 for the Hercules Meal. There is seating nearby around the Buildings with concrete benches where other people sit and have lunch. read more

I ordered the Hercules with Chicken (dark meat) which included a Greek lettuce salad (olives, feta cheese, tomatoes and lettuce), french fries, yellow rice topped with chicken drizzled with tzatziki and hot sauce. It came with slices of pita bread on the side. I went around 12:15 PM. The line was long but it went somewhat fast (this was on Good Friday - can't imagine how much the line maybe on a regular Friday). There is a sign on the truck that mentions you can order online for pick up. My order took a few minutes to prepare (the line itself took longer than my order - it shows how efficient they truly are!). I was a bit worry about the fries being soggy since I had to I trek back to Grand Central Terminal but was surprise at how crispy the fries was. They'll ask you at the end if you want the tzatziki/hot sauce so you can always opt out of it or maybe ask them to put it on the side (I asked them to go easy on the hot sauce and they did a good job of that!). The pita bread started to get a bit tough by the time I dig into it but I was getting full with everything else. I did wish there were some hummus with the pita bread. Chicken was well flavor. After my meal, I was pretty thirsty for the rest of the day/after. I'm hoping it was a one-off or maybe it was something else that made me thirsty. Will definitely go back and try the Pork Soulvaki. I am usually pretty leery of food trucks but Uncle Gussy's appears to be clean. I used to feel the dirtier the place, the better the food probably taste but I'm not sure my stomach can handle that anymore. : ) read more

Uncle Gussy's - The Hercules - Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - New York, New York

At last I have tried the infamous Uncle Gussy's and left a little underwhelmed unfortunately. I think it may be because of my constant love for the Halal Guys. I know Uncle Gussy's is Greek so it's a different type of cuisine but I can't help but compare. Uncle Gussy's just didn't meet the same addiction level I have for the Halal Guys. I got the combo platter with hot sauce and their infamous tzatziki sauce. Although the rice was plentiful with moist and well-seasoned chicken and lamb, it just was only good to me. Not as mind-blowing as I hope and I think it was mainly due to the sauces. I felt the need to add way more sauce than I usually would with anything else. Maybe because the tzatziki sauce tasted lighter and the hot sauce was not as hot as the Halal Guy's red sauce, I thought the whole combination was worth trying but not worth it for a long wait. Overall, this place is definitely good and I can tell it is well-respected. But for my personal preference and allocation of my fat calories, I don't feel the need to go out of way to go back again. read more
