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 Mamaroneck for years to come!

I used to love this place in high school. Came here today and one, they didn’t remind me that i get a free drink with my food so i forgot because its been so long. Two, the chicken in the special is squishy, wet feeling, and smells weird. I’ve had a stomach ache all night since i ate here. Not to mention the portions used to be twice
as big a decade ago. 25 bucks for two specials, and half went to the trash. Waste of money.

Used to come here all the time in high school, since then they’ve really started being stingy on everything. When you pay $17 through Uber Eats (pick-up) you’d expect there to be some kind of portion that matches the price, right? Wrong. Feels like they give you whatever they’re feeling that day. Not to mention the terrible customer service, I ordered through the Uber Eats app for pick-up where they were doing one of their special deals, “Buy 1 Item get free item”. Ordered it and apparently there was the most out of the way section to add the free item that didn’t give me a single prompt? Went over there and no kind of compensation was offered whatsoever, went back to work hungry. Awesome stuff, really glad to see where it’s gone!

I love the seasoning they put on the nuggets and their gluten free nuggets are amazing! I have never been disappointed by the food.
