Our nugget history begins in the mid-1970s, when the original owner, Lou Iandoli and his business partner opened Garden Poultry in the heart of Greenwich, CT. In 1978, grabbing hold of an opportunity to grow and expand, Mr. Landoli opened under the name of Garden Catering on Sound Beach Avenue; which is now known as our flagship location.
Sadly, Mr. Iandoli passed away in 1989 and Garden Catering closed its doors. Responding to the heartache of nugget fans everywhere, Frank Carpenteri Sr. purchased the business from Mrs. Iandoli, along with the secret recipes for Garden Catering’s famous fried chicken and nuggets. He re-opened in late fall of 1991 and gained instant praise, making Garden Catering once again a staple for the community under its new owner.
Recognizing the growing demand for the crave-able menu, Mr. Carpenteri opened several more Garden Catering locations throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties. Keeping the business in the family, Frank’s son and daughter now manage the daily operations and plan to spread the nugget love in Greenwich for years to come!

This was one of the most unprofessional experiences I’ve had at a food establishment in a long time. I ordered a simple butter roll lightly toasted with jelly — and what I got looked like someone closed their eyes and threw butter and jelly at the bread from across the room. The roll was burnt, the butter was clumped like drywall paste, and the jelly was smeared on like an afterthought. Completely unacceptable.
But the real problem wasn’t even the food — it was the manager’s attitude. When I pointed out the issue, there was no apology, no effort to fix it, and zero accountability. Just a dismissive, “oh well” energy that made it clear customer service is not something they value here. If you can’t handle a basic remake or even a simple “sorry about that,” you should not be in a management position.
I paid for my food like everyone else, and the bare minimum is respect and professionalism. If that’s too hard, then something is seriously wrong. Do better — or at least pretend to care.

Great spot to grab something quick to bite! Very annoyed with the morning service. It’s been 4 times I ordered a scrambled egg on a roll and I’ve found eggshells multiple times.

Nothing beats already running late for work in the morning but having the peace of mind knowing your order will be hot and ready by the time you get there. 10/10
