Lucilla FelicianoMay 19, 2015Order 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.
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.
Serious EatsMay 2, 2013Greek 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, 2014There'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.- Uncle Gussy'sOctober 31, 2013Kalimera! Double, Double, Toil and Trouble! We have the Double Shrimp Souvlaki Platter Today as the Special! #GREEKEATS #NYC #FoodTruck
- Uncle Gussy'sDecember 26, 2013The butcher sent us a delivery so we will be out Today and Tomorrow. PARK & 51ST if your visiting #NYC Or just going in to work stop by.
AmateurConciergeApril 13, 2016Solid for a cheap lunch. Meats better than usual street near quality. Definitely get feta on there
Lili BazOctober 10, 2019Hercules! Comes with rice, gyro meat, fries, and Greek salad! Recommend hot sauce and tzatziki on top!
Vivek SinghJune 13, 2015Very generous meat portions for 8 bucks. Leaves you satiated. One of the best food trucks in the city
Sara VasquezFebruary 9, 2015Delicious. I was looking for great Greek food with good tzatziki and I found this truck!- Uncle Gussy'sOctober 30, 2013Thinking 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)
- Uncle Gussy'sOctober 30, 2013Mom's Tzatziki Sauce, Pork Souvlaki, and our crispy Seasoned Fries! Simple #GreekFood over at 51st and Park!
Mark DePalmaMarch 12, 2012The 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...
Brett KearonMay 10, 2011Souvlaki 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.
Leigh QuindaraMay 22, 2015The best gyros! And ridiculously friendly!! Always a pleasure, and worth the wait.
Patrick GilleJune 19, 2014Lamb on Greek salad was yum. Maybe too much leafs in salad, not enough of the other veg advertised. But still delicious.
Combo platter with Greek and Spicy sauce. I could eat it everyday. Best food truck in Midtown
Deliciousness. Love the Greek salad with lamb. The spicy hit sauce is HOT so I recommend getting that on the side.
Rahul GuptaJanuary 8, 2018Can't go wrong here. I had the chicken platter with tzatziki sauce: brilliant!
Eric JaffeApril 4, 2013Line goes quick, staff is nothing but easy and friendly. Lamb over rice w hot sauce is incredible.- Uncle Gussy'sNovember 20, 2013In case you are checking in with us today, our fryer is not working and we will not be serving fries. We will let you know if this situation changes. Thanks.
- ShannonAugust 23, 2013Best gyro and chicken combo greek salad I ever had. Absolutely worth the wait!
Best lunch in the area by far. Fries > greek salad > rice > pita.- Uncle Gussy'sOctober 30, 2013For those checking in with us today, what are you having for lunch? Show us a picture of your meal!
Teo SartoriMay 2, 2014No seating but the church steps next door make a perfect lunch spot on a sunny day.
Chris PolloneAugust 6, 2014Greek chicken salad is great. Skip dressing and just add some tzaziki and hot sauce.- Uncle Gussy'sOctober 30, 2013Stop by to get Mom's Homemade Baklava today at 51st & Park #GreekFood #Desserts #MomIsTheBest
Mike KarasFebruary 3, 2010This place has the best Souvlaki, the tzatziki is excellent I have never seen a cleaner cart Standing on 51st and park avenue. amazing. The rice is off the hook.- What's Good HereJanuary 15, 2015If there's no line, either they're out of food or it is your lucky day.
Get the "Triple Threat" on top of your platter - Tzatziki, BBQ and Hot Sauces.
