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 Stamford for years to come!
Customers frequently praised the freshness and taste of the food, particularly the chicken nuggets and breakfast sandwiches, although there were complaints about inconsistency in food preparation.

I use to love garden catering! Chicken is sometimes chewy, the 2nd time in a row my drink was forgotten with my meal which lead the manager to be argumentative instead of compensating even with me being a loyal customer . Afterwards i felt unwelcome.

I called before hand to ask if I can sample the cauliflower nuggets because I am pescatarian and my boyfriend eats chicken and really wanted garden catering. I spoke with Angie and she said yes I can sample. When I went I asked for the cauliflower and they gave it to me. It was really good. I appreciate places that accommodate people who do not eat meat. Thank you Angie and garden catering team for the good customer service

Love GC, love their seasoning, might be my favorite part of the meal. That’s why it sucks they didn’t put any in my delivery order. Not the biggest deal but when you get something on occasion and are looking forward to it all day it sucks when it doesn’t live up to expectations because of an oversight.

Food was cold and soda was hot because they package all in the same bag. Called store and they did not try to resolve the issue. Will not go back
