Order ahead at http://unclegussys.com/menu/ before 11:00 am and specify time for delivery or pickup. They do take credit cards and Paypal on line. Between 11:30 and 2:00 p.m. is their busiest times.

Today, halal food reigns supreme in the world of New York street food, but just a few decades ago it was all gyros, souvlaki, and tztatziki. One of the holdovers from those days is Uncle Gussy's. Read more

This legendary Greek spot seasons its food with only olive oil, salt, lemon and oregano, so it’s pretty healthy. (Unless you drink a vat of the tzatziki sauce, which we’re seriously tempted to do.) Read more

This Greek food truck, serves up gyros, meat platters & crispy seasoned fries. Try the combo platter: big chunks of chicken and lamb gyro over rice; douse with tzatziki, hot sauce and a side of pita. Read more

My husband had the lamb gyro and I had the chicken platter - both Greek and Spicy. It was delish!!!! And order the seasoned fries! Yummmmm. And I consider myself a foodie and I'm pretty picky.

Greek food truck with solid souvlaki, friendly service, and homemade Greek specials like pork chops and baklava. Lines can grow long; go early or late to skip the lunch rush.
What's Good HereAugust 13, 2014
There's a reason why there's a line. The flavorful Greek plates here rival many restaurants. Do not be tempted by the fries. They are addictive.

Solid for a cheap lunch. Meats better than usual street near quality. Definitely get feta on there
Lili BazOctober 10, 2019
Hercules! Comes with rice, gyro meat, fries, and Greek salad! Recommend hot sauce and tzatziki on top!
Vivek SinghJune 13, 2015
Very generous meat portions for 8 bucks. Leaves you satiated. One of the best food trucks in the city
Uncle Gussy'sOctober 30, 2013
Thinking about #GreekFood but don't want to wait in line, give us a call for pick-up or delivery #51st #ParkAVe (within a 5 block radius from foodtruck for delivery)

Delicious. I was looking for great Greek food with good tzatziki and I found this truck!
Mark DePalmaMarch 12, 2012
The chicken rice platter was very tasty. Smoky and tender pieces of chicken, grilled onions, tzatziki sauce, and hot sauce on rice and salad. Only thing negative is the rice is lacking a little...
Andrew FurmanNovember 16, 2016
Great spot for a somewhat healthy lunch. Salad is awesome.
Uncle Gussy'sOctober 30, 2013
Mom's Tzatziki Sauce, Pork Souvlaki, and our crispy Seasoned Fries! Simple #GreekFood over at 51st and Park!
Brett KearonMay 10, 2011
Souvlaki over rice with feta and the works. The best $6 lunch in midtown Manhattan. Just be sure to get there early as the line gets crazy after 12.
Patrick GilleJune 19, 2014
Lamb on Greek salad was yum. Maybe too much leafs in salad, not enough of the other veg advertised. But still delicious.
Leigh QuindaraMay 22, 2015
The best gyros! And ridiculously friendly!! Always a pleasure, and worth the wait.

Deliciousness. Love the Greek salad with lamb. The spicy hit sauce is HOT so I recommend getting that on the side.
Rahul GuptaJanuary 8, 2018
Can't go wrong here. I had the chicken platter with tzatziki sauce: brilliant!
Eric JaffeApril 4, 2013

Best lunch in the area by far. Fries > greek salad > rice > pita.

No seating but the church steps next door make a perfect lunch spot on a sunny day.
Chris PolloneAugust 6, 2014
Greek chicken salad is great. Skip dressing and just add some tzaziki and hot sauce.
Uncle Gussy'sOctober 30, 2013

The line is absurd, but if you're willing to wait it out the lamb is delish.
