This place is a bit unassuming, located in an older strip mall next to a Sheetz off Miami Blvd in Durham. There are a lot of great little shops in this plaza that deserve recognition--I never would have found them without a Yelp search. I walked in to get a quick takeout order because I had to be back for a meeting in 30 minutes. I almost left because there were about eight people ahead of me waiting to order. I also just started a keto diet, so I was hoping they had something I could actually eat. The menu looked incredible. If I weren't on this diet, I totally would have gotten the gyro and fries that I saw delivered to a nearby table; I was literally drooling. I settled for a Caesar salad to go. I forgot to ask for no croutons, but that is on me! It came with fresh pita and tzatziki, which looked and felt awesome. I tasted the tzatziki before giving them both away, and it was delicious--probably the best tzatziki I have tasted in a long time. For my salad protein, I chose the chicken skewers (you get two). The salad was dressed, and I had to sprint to my meeting. I opened it and took a bite at the office, and let's just say I kept my camera off and my microphone on mute for most of the call! The chicken had such good flavor, and the salad had a generous amount of shaved parmesan with a nice dressing. They also did what I always do with a Caesar: added lemon. There were two big wedges of lemon in the container, which provided that perfect extra hit of acid I always look for. While I didn't get to interact with everyone, the woman running the front of the house (and probably the back, too) was incredibly nice. I wish I experienced that kind of service everywhere I went; the world would be a much friendior place. I think I'll be a regular here. read more

Let me start with the negative, and it is a big one. My wife and I wanted to come here maybe a year ago and we didn't get around to it until today. Huge mistake. This place is freakin' delicious. So, we had a great meal from the food truck once. And Gussy's catered a wine pairing dinner at Peak of the Vine in Apex which was spectacular. We decided then we had to visit the brick and mortar location, but one thing after another delayed us until today. We went with our (adult) kids and everyone loved every bite. I had a new pork gyro and their amazing lemon rice (do not sleep on the lemon rice, it is a stealth amazing side), my wife had the fried shrimp platter and the shrimp was great. Somehow more shrimpy than most fried shrimp. I don't know what that means, but there you go. My daughter got the chicken gyro with fries and declared the fries her new favorite fries. The veggies were so crisp and fresh in the gyro that even though she finished all the chicken, she brought the last few bites of pita and veggies home because she didn't want to waste them. My son is a limited-taste eater, but was relieved to see some Italian classics on the menu. He went with his favorite sandwich, a chicken parmesan hero. He didn't have super high hopes for an amazing experience, because outside of a pizzeria chicken parm is usually just good, never great. But he was shocked, "This is better than most pizzerias. I'd have to get one here and one at Mezza Luna and have them side by side to judge them, it's that good." So yeah, Gussy's. Don't wait around like we did. If you find yourself close to RTP, plan lunch at Gusssy's. Or make the trip special during the week. You won't regret it. read more

I remember trying Gussy's when they were a food truck and had been meaning to visit their restaurant once it opened a while ago. The menu offers plenty of options, and I liked that the food was made to order. I had the Gyro Pita with Greek fries and feta, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Everyone in my group enjoyed their meals too. The only downside was the price--although the portions were generous, it felt a little expensive for lunch. Overall, a solid experience with great food and large portions. read more

OMG, where do I start?! I called around 1:30 today to check on their food truck hours and the lady over the phone was sooooo sooo soooo nice! She told me the schedule and unfortunately the truck wasn't open today, however, that their storefront is open if I still wanted to stop in. They close at 2 and I told her I didn't want to place an order when they were about to close. She insisted it was ok and took my order. Got there in 10 min and it was ready. Got home and omgosh, so many flavors bursting in my mouth! The service alone had me but now they definitely got me with how good the food was as well! 10/10 recommend! read more

I always default to the Gyro but yesterday finally decided to get the lasagna ( forget what they call it but ) it was amazing! They don't have it every day, but if they do... GET IT! read more

$18 for a salad that only has few ingredients. No thanks Maybe that's the reason it was empty when I was there. read more

How had I never heard of Gussys before? Probably because Sheets blocks the view of what's in the shopping center. A friend took me here and I was just floored how good it was and how long it's been there. Passing by this place thousands of times but not once noticing it, makes you wonder if you ever paid attention to anything. Food was great, fries were generous and staff were helpful. We ordered gyros and fries but next time want to try the plates. This place also advertised a Greek Festival, which I'm curious what type of involvement they have. Do they sponsor it, did they create it, are they selling their food? At any rate, just love how decorated the place is and how it ties back to Greek culture. If you're traveling on TW Alexander, you must stop by! But, be warned that they are only open during small windows of the day. read more

Walked in to pick up a grubhub order and had to wait for it. When it was ready I said thank you to the guy behind the counter with short brown hair and have a nice day. I asked if there was a reason he wouldn't look or talk to me. Maybe it was because I interrupted him looking at his cell phone behind the register? He didn't greet me when I walked in and when I asked for a manager he said he was and I could leave. I asked for the owner and he said it again. White people walked in after me and were spoken to and got customer service. So i'm just going to call it racism. Time- 11:20 3/31/26. read more

Amazing service, and even more amazing food. Would absolutely recommend this place. Zeus Platter is my favorite

I've been going to Gussy's Greek Place in Durham for the last 8 years and they've never let me down. The food is always fresh, packed with flavor, and made just right every single time. I always order the gyro Greek style with a side of Greek fries topped with feta cheese. That combo hits every time. The gyro is juicy and full of flavor, and the fries are perfectly seasoned with the feta giving them a nice salty finish that pulls everything together. The employees have always been great too. Friendly, fast, and they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time there. The customer service is just as consistent as the food. You can tell they really care about what they do. It's hard to find places that stay this solid over so many years. Gussy's has earned my loyalty because they've never cut corners and they always deliver. If you're ever in Durham and craving something satisfying, this is the place you need to try. It's one of those spots that makes you glad you live nearby. read more

Are you guys kidding me ?! This place is putting out pure magic. Seriously some of the best Greek food, if not food in general, I've ever had. Had the spicy chicken wrap with rice... to die for. THANK YOU!!!! read more

This place is super pricey for a food truck turned restaurant, but the food is oh so good! I don't come here often because $15-20 for lunch is more than I care to spend, but the chicken pita and fries are incredible. It's definitely worth the occasional lunch splurge. read more

Service ok. Friendly came after lunch rush so I'm not sure how they are under pressure. Food- trash! Gyro cold! The French fries tasted better than gyro. Un freaking believable. This was rated the #1. I wonder who they paid off for that rating. Never ever again read more

Best Yeero in the area. Whenever I have the craving I go there! The greek style is soooo good. And the lady there is super nice and friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. Do try this place out - you will not be dissapointed. read more

Gussy's is really good. I'm vegetarian and the falafel pita is a gem-- the pita is so soft, the tzatziki is yummy, and the veggies are fresh. Their fries are really good. However if you get a sandwich and fries, it is a bit pricey. I think the food often needs hot sauce, which they provide near the drink area. For how busy it is, the service is fast and good and the employees are nice. So happy to have this place as a lunch option ! read more

I LOVE IT HERE! The food is very well seasoned and yummy and the service is great. The French fries and always cooked to perfection and the chicken kabobs are flavorful and not dry at all (which happens with chicken breast sometimes). I wish that they were open longer so that I could eat here for dinner too, but it's a very solid lunch spot! read more

I am in love with gyros and Gussy's always hits the spot. Best Greek food in Durham, possible the triangle. Just wish their storefront was open more often. Have not tried their food truck yet, but I'm sure it's also amazing. read more

Double chicken breast was fire Couldn't handle the 1lb serving of fries so I gave them to my colleague. Definitely a big boi meal

I tried Gussy's for lunch yesterday and I got the gyro pita. I'm glad I didn't order any sides because it was so filling. The lamb/beef was so flavorful and tender. I definitely can't wait to go back and eat another one! read more

Their Greek gyro is great, always on point. Pretty busy but always on time. Perfect for lunch pick up

It was my second time eating here and this time I had to review them! I ordered the fried fish and substituted the sides for a spinach/orange/pecan salad. The fish was made perfectly! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My husband eats lunch here often since it's located close to his work and he usually gets the Gyro sandwich, which he got this time as well. After sitting there for a few minutes, the owner approached me and said I was charged too much for my order and offered me my money back or some baklava (I chose the latter of course, which was a great decision). Over all great experience and I'm looking forward to going back there. read more

Service is fast, food is delicious, and always hot! I've been coming here for lunch and I'm very pleased with my experience. I haven't had anything that I didn't like so far. I've tried the fries(DELICIOUS), gyro pita, chicken pita, pita bread with tzatziki, and the Zeus platter. All were a 10/10 for me. They have a seating area inside that is pretty spacious with some cute Greek-themed decor. The only thing I will say is that on their menu they only advertise FULL portion sides for $6. You have to ask for a HALF portion side that is $3. The $6 side comes with soooo much food like an entire container's worth. You definitely only need the $3 side unless you're starving or sharing it. I wish they advertised the $3 side too because it's cheaper and comes with plenty. Plus, you can get fries and a salad for $6 instead of fries and a salad for $12. Anyway give them a try ;) read more

Chicken parm out of this world! Before I took a bite I knew it would be. The best part of this place though is the cashier... Miriam. She is like a ray of light. So friendly and just exudes joy. She brightens everyone's day who comes in. I would come back again just for the her personality. New favorite spot! read more

First tried the lamb kebab plate ($13.50), which I didn't think was anything special. Definitely pricier than your average lunch meal. The fries are average to decent. They give a generous portion of them though! A couple of months later, Gussy's catered an event at work and all the food (gyro, grape leaves, rice) was awesome. Much better than my first experience at the restaurant. Not super hard to find seating here even during peak lunch hours.

I have been obsessed with greek fiesta for the longest. (yes i know. boo me. whatever) but I now live too far away from greek fiesta to go there as frequently I want. I started looking for more mediterranean restaurants in my area and stumbled across Gussy's. From the pictures I could already tell the food was gonna be BOMB! The young man at the register was very kind and attentive. He helped me find the platter that I wanted because I didn't see it on the menu, which was much appreciated! My food was absolutely DELICIOUS. I'm not gonna lie, most times at greek fiesta I don't eat all my food. Gussy's on the other hand...I literally demolished my food. It was so good that I kept eating even when I was full. The salad was fresh, the dressing was perfect, my chicken skewers were cooked and seasoned perfectly, fries were on point, and the taziki sauce was the cherry on top! Sorry for such a long review. I don't leave them often, but when I do I like to give every detail possible! I don't have a picture of my meal, because it didn't last 10 minutes lol I will be sure to take a picture next time! Thank you, Gussy's read more

First time customer and I was so happy I decided to try it out. I called in an order and the lady on the phone was so sweet and kind. I arrived in 5 minutes to pick up my food and it was on the counter ready to go. The lady at the register (I'm sure it was the same one who took my phone order) was so kind and made small conversation. I ordered the gyro pita with a side of Greek fries. Everything was so so so good. They do have spacious indoor seating and lots of parking. I will be back to try more items on the menu! read more

Had lunch here yesterday, I got a Greek salad with a chicken kabob and I tried their soup with the chicken / rice meatballs... Everything was so good and FRESH! Their customer service was great , nice ambiance you can tell this is a popular place and I see why. I'm new to the area and this is going to be one of my new lunch spots!! read more

Fantastic food, great service, and convenient location from work. The Zeus platter and grilled chicken Greek salad are my favorites.

This is the place. Family owned. They have amazing food at a reasonable price. Order that gyro pita Greek style!!

Loved the atmosphere and the lady at the counter was soo nice. The food was ready quickly and was sooooo tasty. My 1 year old loved it. The chicken pita was delicious. Will be coming back for sure!!!! read more

I flew in from Australia and the fam highly recommended this place and wow. AMAZING customer service and quality food and great portions.

This place was delicious. The service was friendly and the staff seemed to know all the customers! Super warm and welcoming. Wouldn't expect the interior from looking at the outside. I had the lamb gyro and substituted the lettuce with fries. The fries alone were amazing and well seasoned with oregano and sea salt. There was ample amount of meat and the tzatziki sauce on top was a great compliment. It costed me 8.60 including tax with no drink. There were a lot of food options and my meal came out in less than 10mins. It is seat yourself. Only downside was I needed a mint afterwards but it was worth it. read more

This food is fantastic! Our first time here, but it will NOT be our last. We had a chicken type soup with a strong cream base. The flavor was a delicious. Rich. Creamy. Hint of lemon. My wife had the classic gyro sandwich and loved it. I got a pork steak meal with a lemon rice. The pork was tender, flavorful, and huge. The rice carried a lemon hint, and was perfect. I did not specifically ask, but everything tasted like it was scratch made. We think the pita bread may have been, as well. Soft, warm, and tasted awesome. We ordered two orders of the Greek fries. They are huge. We shared one. Try them! read more

Yes, yes and yes again. I've been searching for some good Greek food in this area and up until today I've been disappointed. Finally checked out this spot which is located in a strip mall, of sorts, on 70. Fingers crossed I went in and was surprised to see so many patrons hanging out and still eating so close to the place's closing time of 2pm. As soon I got halfway through the restaurant, I immediately greeted by the very friendly woman behind the counter. I figured I'd start with something I expect to be good, a gyro, on my first visit. So I ordered it "Greek style" which replaces the romaine lettuce with a handful of Greek fries. While waiting, the nice lady and I started talking about travel plans and the next thing I knew, my order was ready. I got home and after one bite, I knew I'd be back. It was SO good! The meat was tender and the flavors from the fries, tzatziki and other toppings blended perfectly. I'm glad she gave a me loyalty punch card because I'll definitely soon be on my way to free meal. Can't wait to try more. The ONLY thing I wish was different is the hours. They're only open from 11am - 2pm M-F. Wish it was longer. read more

It's super close to work and I finally went over for a quick lunch. I noticed that they had a good number of vegetarian items on their menu. I went with the Falafel Pita Sandwich. The service was great and the lady (I think was the owner) was super sweet and friendly. The price of the single wrap seemed a little bit steep to me but since it was my first time I wanted to give it a shot. It was around $11. The food was prepared pretty quick and I was given a buzz on the pager. The sandwich looked great. I was a little underwhelmed by the falafel pieces as they were pretty dry. I think I would have enjoyed the vegetarian pita a little bit better. The veggies in the falafel pita were fresh and delicious. I added a bit of the hot sauce and it was good. I would like to try some other items there that seemed to be much larger in quantity for a better price (based off what I saw at the other tables.) I've had falafel sandwiches at a few other places in the area and they've been better and maybe a little cheaper as well. I'll be back though to try others and will update the review when I do. read more

We've seen their food truck at previous events and finally made it to their brick-and-mortar location for lunch. Looks like they do a lot of business with nearby RTP companies so they are not open for dinner. It's a fast casual restaurant with a set menu and some specials. The staff is friendly and from what I heard in line, they try to accommodate dietary and food requests. We placed our orders at the counter and took a number. We were soon served our hummus appetizer, and our salad and entree followed soon after. Must be their food truck background that helps speed up orders. My souvlaki platter was very good and plentiful (i took some of it home). My wife enjoyed her Greek salad and was also full. Keep up the good work, Gussy's. PS, I think our cashier said the drinks were complimentary when she handed us two plastic cups. Maybe someone else can confirm if drinks are complimentary with your orders. read more
