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!

Still can’t forget the day my mother in law, my husband, and I went to make an order, and the woman at the register had an INSANELY mean attitude. We were actually quiet, standing beside the register (not even making small talk). There wasn’t anyone else in the establishment except us. Once the food was done, the woman *slammed* the food on the register. THEN, she banged her hand on the table multiple times, as if she was trying to get our attention, but we were already looking at her appalled. It was the most rudest interaction I’ve dealt with from any restaurant on the strip. When I said, “excuse me”. She responded snappily, “here, here” and just turned her back to us. Even the people cooking stood still! And she never apologized. As a poc herself, it shocks me she spoke to us like that. There’s no doubt in my mind she’d NEVER treat non-poc customers from Mamaroneck in such an ill manner, and that is absolutely not right.
Food here isn’t even good—! Fries are amateur, and the burgers are two pieces of DRY bread with something in the middle.
I’ve never gone back since and I never plan to. Rude service and dehydrated food? Nope.

The chicken is just incredible and if you would even question that I have one word for you. Seasoning. Their seasoning is so good and is a mistake to not have it.

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.
