    Honey hot sauce
    Shannon C.

    Garden Catering used to be one of my favorite go-to lunch spots. Unfortunately, things have gone severely downhill. I've given them 3 more tries after my first bad meal and each one continues to get worse. The nuggets are incredibly overcooked, dry, and almost inedible. My favorite honey hot sauce is a different taste and color everytime. When I ask, the answer always is "oh we must have messed up the ratio". To put the nail in the coffin, the prices have gone way up. It's over $7 for a junior special and if you want them to toss the nuggets in one of the sauces, they charge an extra dollar. They've become skimpy with the sauces as well. At my last visit, the container was only about a quarter full. The price increase and quality decrease must be due to the installation of the new sign outside "best nuggets ever" rather than the actual Garden Catering name. If someone isn't familiar with your store, good luck getting them to find you.

    Went out and got Caesar wrap. When I got the wrap it was really soggy and it seemed like they Paninipressed it. I get the wraps all the time from the one in Stamford . They do not do it like that. The consistency of the lettuce was like spinach. When I called to ask if they can make it over again, they told me if they didn't Panini press it it would fall apart to which I was going to say forget about it, but she hung up in my face before I could even finish my sentence. It seemed as if I was annoying her and she was upset that I was complaining. I work in food service myself, and this is not the way to treat customers. I wouldn't even feel comfortable going back to get a new sandwich because I feel like somehow it would magically end up on the floor.. or worse . I won't be back there. Do better

    Potato Cones over cooked
    Justin O.

    I've been eating Garden Catering for nearly 30 years, sometimes daily during high-school years. While this is not the original, they do hold the name and should therefore represent what that legendary name stands for. Unfortunately they fell way below the line with a recent Uber Eats order. Perhaps it was too late in the day, either way that shouldn't be an excuse. Missing item, no cover on shake during COVID, way too overcooked cones, not nearly enough seasoning, Uber site and bag showing missing one type of condiment yet another type was missing from the order. Norwalk's Garden Catering does not live up to the true legend. Go to Greenwich if you want the real deal. Even the taken over Roosters are better.

    I dined at Birdcode around 4pm, and I was the only customer. I ordered mild codebites, Mac and…read morecheese and a soda. They didn't have chicken ready, so I had to wait a few minutes for fresh ones, which was not a problem. Once my food was ready, they brought it to my table. My mild code bites were nicely spiced and the chicken was cooked perfectly and moist. I didn't love the spice coating because I thought it was too dry. I did like the sauce. The next time I think I'll get "country" style, without the spice dust. The real standout here was the side of Mac & cheese. The twisty elbow pasta held a lot of that amazing cheese sauce. The employees were super friendly and polite.

    This place is not bad. It's not great but not bad. I came on Sunday afternoon ordered on Uber Eats…read more Two Chicken sandwiches (The Sando) and a 3 tenders and fries. The chicken sandwiches were pretty good. The chicken was nicely seasoned-could use a touch more, the veggies were fresh, the bread (potato bun) was really good. It held the sandwich all the way through and didn't break up. I got mine medium so it wasnt too spicy, but overall was cool. The chicken tenders were for my kid- he got them country (no spice). The chicken was solid- same as the Sandos, it could use a bit more seasoning but overall decent chicken. My biggest gripe was the wait and the fries. It took quite a while for my order to be ready and the restaurant wasn't that crowded. Maybe 4 people in the store and possibly a car in drive-thru lane. Yet, when we received the fries they were cold. I went back in and the team was nice enough to provide newer fries and they were warmer, but not much better. My last issue was the sheer amount of fries provided. There are so few given to the customers. When you look at the pictures on the site they show a healthy amount of fries, but what was provided in the order didn't even scratch that surface. I didn't take pics of the fries-too underwhelmed, but... Please do better.

The chicken was the highlight, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and really well seasoned. You can tell it was freshly made. The cornbread was also really good, soft, warm, slightly sweet, and even better with the sorghum honey butter. The mac & cheese was great. it was rich, creamy, and felt homemade in the best way. I'm not usually a fan of cole slaw, and this one was a bit watery, I should have asked if I could swap it out. The desserts were a highlight too, the peach empanada was nice and warm, buttery, paired perfectly with the ice cream and icing, and the banana pudding was smooth, classic, and comforting with the nilla wafer crumble and fresh banana. Even my starter arugula lemon vinaigrette salad was delicious. Service was excellent and attentive, and the ambiance is definitely upscale and stylish. Overall, it's on the pricier side, but that feels expected for the quality and setting.

Not really all so bad since we got to spend extra time with our dear mother, and the food was exceptional when it finally arrived. I recommend going at a time that isn't quite so busy for a better experience.

    Damn what a night this has been!…read more So a friend and I decided to come eat here after going to a funeral visitation for a co-worker. It was the first time in 18 years I had been to anything funeral-related, but harkening back to my childhood, we'd have food after funeral services to celebrate the life of the lost loved one, so it was a piece of me I wanted to share with my friend. Another thing that contributed to my wanting to come here is that this is a place I've been wanting to come to ever since this restaurant opened, and it went doubly so when it was named the Best Restaurant in Connecticut for 2024. The fact I finally got to go in of itself was a blessing, and I have to say that I am glad we came here. We were seated immediately upon arrival, and service was quick from start to finish. Our waiter was excellent. He was great making recommendations in effort to get us to save some money, took any questions we had with a smile, and made ordering an easy-peasy affair. Ambiance was very casual, great for any occasion really. If I ever had a date and this was where they took me, I'd be wanting a second date already. They're great for family get-togethers too. Oh, and the bathroom walls made me laugh with their witty one-liners like "Don't be a Gherk" or "Just Dill With It". So based on the recommendations we were given, we shared both of the appetizers we'd ordered: the fried pickles and the biscuits and fix-in's. The fried pickles that this place is known for were really good, very comparable to what you might get from a true Southern state. It comes with a spicy mayo, and paired together, it's divine! The biscuits & fix-ins are two large biscuits accompanied by four types of butter: salted, maple, vanilla, and the strawberry. They were all good, but we both agreed that the vanilla one was out-of-this-world, and the maple one had an authentic Vermonter taste to it. The strawberry one tastes like a strawberry cream cheese which is a good thing here, and even the salted butter was good. We each also got an entree, and I was the only one who ordered a drink. My friend had the Classic Mac & Cheese, and I had the Southwest Meat Platter as well as a Dirty Aphrodite. I love me some good ribs when I eat Southern food, and having the meats all in one, I couldn't say no to that. If I'm being honest, I came close to picking the Kentucky Porch Sipper for my drink, but the call of the Dirty Aphrodite was too big to ignore. And boy oh boy do they make the combination of pickle brine and vodka work with this drink! I don't think I've ever had vodka quite like that before, but Jacob's Pickles does it so well here! The entrees were also great. I saw the cheese pulls as my friend ate and I could tell I probably would have enjoyed that version of the classic dish. As for my dish, the ribs were tender and fell clean off the bone, tasted like a true BBQ wonder. The pulled pork was succulent, ratioed perfectly so nothing overpowers in the dish. The sausage tasted superb. The Nashville Hot Chicken was crispy, juicy, spicy without being overwhelming. The Pickle Slaw was some good Slaw. Is it the best I've ever had? No. But it's competent and definitely deserves to be called a slaw. Jalapeños and corn were great, and I even got another buttermilk biscuit to use the remaining butter we didn't use on our appetizers. All-in-all, one of the best outings I've had in a while. I mean it when I say this: Jacob's Pickles is a MUST-GO! It's that good! You won't regret it.

Honestly, I don't know why I stopped coming here. There's plenty to choose from, and the price is good. That said, I would say Mainport definitely has its ups and downs. Tonight I had the #3 meal and mozzarella sticks. With the fries, I have always found that they were very bland on their own. If you do want to bring out the best in these, you need salt and pepper. Leave them on their own and you will regret it. As for the tenders, they're juicy, but they too could use some of that salt and pepper lovin'. Now for the mozzarella sticks, you actually do not need anything extra here. No sauce required! I ordered this dinner while recovery from an illness that required a trip to the doctor, and the taste of these mozzarella sticks still shined through and tasted good even with the taste of meds constantly alerting me of its presence in my mouth. So overall, the food's decent. It's glorified fast food, but as long as you're okay with that, you should be fine ordering from here. I will say its interior doesn't seem very appealing (or clean for that matter), but at least you do have a TV to keep you company as you wait for your food. Also, you are incentivized to use cash. Of course, I don't use cash unless there is no other option, but if it saves you money, then by all means bring cash. So yeah, I'll leave a 3 here. It's not bad, but nothing really wowed me either.
