You've just got to know this joint (& all their locations). Quick, FRESH, inexpensive, & tasty. They are famous for their "'High school" special: real, made to order, NOT FROZEN, lightly fried chunks of chicken breast, fries, sprinkled w seasoned salt, your choice of beverage & side of dipping sauce (BBQ, ranch, buffalo, honey mustard, bluecheese, etc) in a bag to go for $6! The menu is fairly broad offering wraps, salads, & yummy things fried up! They also have a huge catering biz too. This spot is modern, clean, & fast. read more

I have ordered from this establishment on many occasions. I am tired of getting undercooked food from this place. This is the 3rd or 4th time that this has happened to me. Management really needs to do something about this. Not a good look at all. About to loose a valuable customer!!!! read more

Update to the review - Nice location with friendly staff and fast service when you pick up. They have a great breakfast sandwich called the hosty with crispy bacons and cones, which is super tasty. When ordering via Uber Eats the order has been delivered wrong 3 times. They offer replacement food if you pick up but that defeats the purpose of ordering through the Uber delivery service app. read more

Garden Catering - Norwalk - Best breakfast sandwich in town. The Hotsy! - Garden Catering, Norwalk - Caterers Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I FINALLY ordered food from Garden Catering yesterday. I ordered the Garden Salad with Chicken (nuggets) shaved parm and Avacado with Balsamic Dressing. It was SO big, hearty and DELICIOUS. I can't believe it took me so long. But I think it's the best salad in Norwalk. read more

This is the second time in years I've ordered from Garden Catering. The first time whoever answered the phone had a never ending attitude, and essentially told me to just order online. This second time I ordered through ubereats. You would think there's no way to mess up when the receipt specified exactly what I wanted, which was quite simple. Seasoning and ketchup for the nuggets and fries. When I say there was no seasoning, I mean there was NO seasoning, not even a dab of evidence that anything had been put into the bag. When I called the store to discuss this, I was told she put it in but maybe not enough to my "liking". If there had been even a tablespoon of seasoning it would've made all the difference in the world and I wouldn't have even bothered to call because I could make that work. THERE WAS ZERO SEASONING. The big boy special also comes with a free drink which was NOT given to the driver. Although the girl who answered the phone was very quick to say the driver probably stole it... then she went on to tell me I could go get the seasoning and drink if I really wanted it. Now the reason I ordered Ubereats is because I didn't have a way to drive and pick up, or else why would I pay someone to deliver me something???? The attitude on the staff is beyond me, I would love to be able to give them more stars but they have been such a disappointment, I will definitely not be ordering from them again. I also highly recommend you spare yourself the trouble and save your money instead of throwing it away here. read more

See all

Ordered nuggets and cones. These were NOT cones - tiny round balls of soggy fried potatoes. Paid $30 for 2lbs of chicken and got 1 lb. I order from here all the time and have seen a slow decline but tonight was the worst. I will NOT be back! read more

Pretty good food here, the chicken is well-seasoned, the cones are a bit weird but pretty good. I haven't tried the fries yet but that'll be next time. I found out the best thing for lunch is The Special with half and half fries and cones. I'm not a sauce person but they have a lot to choose from, I might try the honey mustard or the honey hot next time. read more

I have never been so disappointed with garden. I Live in Stamford so I never have an issue; however while I am at work, I figured I would order from the Norwalk location since Uber said it would take 25 minutes. The hotsy has a lack of cones, hard bacon, minimal chili. My soda was warm as if it was in a basement. The delivery took more than an hour! I should have just gone somewhere else. The only reason I didn't give this one star is because I like garden, just not this location. read more

Their nuggets and salads are good in a pinch. I really loved their fried chicken sandwich but was very disappointed at the last few times we got it. It had clearly been fried more than once, chicken was dry and hard has a rock, batter was 100% soaked in oil. The fried chicken is fresher at your local fast food store. I never had an issue with "Uber times", but I won't be back until they are back to quality cooking. read more

a super dirty place, the floors and glass sticky, you see that super dirty counter, definitely a disgusting place. If the entrance is like this, how will the kitchen be? read more

Closing business 10 minutes before hours advertised is not cool. Owner take a note of this.

Just right portion and cooked as specially ordered. Tastes great, too. Best fried chicken and fried potatoes in cones.

I'm so glad they opened up a location in Norwalk. Southwest wrap, potato cones, chix nuggets. Yup, all mad tasty. read more

Garden Catering - Norwalk - Its nugget time! @ garden catering. Norwalk, CT. This promo may not be available anymore. - Caterers Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Great service Great food! Best nuggets and those cauliflower nuggets wicked good!! I don't go all the time but it's a real treat when I do!!

Two coworkers of mine love this place but have noticed it's changed over the years. We recently ordered online for lunch and a side order and specified sauces were not in our bag. Multiples of other sauces we didn't want we're in our bag. This wasn't known until we opened the bag back at our office. The chicken was ok but relatively bland without seasoning (which comes in little cup containers to put on yourself) or sauce. Had to ask twice for my receipt and a drink tray when I picked it up like the girl was not focusing. Everyone has a bad day so maybe we ordered on one of theirs. Will may be go back but not anytime soon. read more

Walked in and ordered a simple special. Then for twenty plus minutes they ignored me. It took more then twice the amount of time it should have. When my order was ready the woman ignored me again and took a phone call and helped other customers. I think they recently hired a new manager and employees who are brutally slow,terribly rude and neglectful. Its not worth the hassle. read more

We love coming here! The boss special is a steal! The nuggets are very good and the potato cones are to die for! Ordering online is super easy and the pickup was as well. The staff is always super friendly! A lot better than chik fil a! read more

Second time I order from the Norwalk location and unfortunately its horrible. The first time my nuggets were extremely soggy. This time i ordered a sandwich and nuggets. My nuggets are amazing but my sandwich had old lettuce and hair on it. Never again.. I will stick to the Fairfield location read more

The Big Boy Special was absolutely scrumptious. It was fresh and just the right amount of food for my wife and myself. I placed my order online and it was ready within 15 min. It was ready for me right inside the door and I felt completely safe with the contactless purchase. Even got a friendly hello and have a good day from the staff at a safe distance. Wonderful experience! read more

Not surprised to see this location has an average rating of 3-stars. I just sat down with my boyfriend and ordered two big boy specials. To start, the front door is broken and stays open unless someone closes it. Staff members were no where in sight so we frequently had to get up to close the door ourselves...today it's 16 degrees outside. In addition, when our food was ready...the cook came to the front and pulled our food to the back. When we asked why they took the food back they responded, "nothing." Portion looked smaller than my previous experiences at other locations. Since we were hungry we just sat and ate while frequently getting up to close the door. Some of the food was hot and some lukewarm...like they combined and older batch of chicken and fries with a new one. When we approached the manager about our concern with the door and how cold it was, he pointed out the obvious stating, "it's broken." When we asked what he was doing about it he didn't respond and started speaking to an employee. In addition, this location has a smaller menu and no gluten free options. I'm a weekly customer who's had a pleasant experience at both the Fairfield and new haven locations. I recommend giving garden catering a try at one of the other locations for a quality experience. read more

around 6:35pm today i went to pick up my order from garden catering. The girl working in the front was extremely rude she did not say hello or say anything at all when i took my food and was using her phone at the counter. After i got home i saw i was missing my order of cones & I came back around 6:50 and told her my cones were missing from my bag. Instead of apologizing or offering a refund or making the food again she flat out called me "a liar" & said she knew she put them in the bag but they were not in it. I could hear her muttering things under her breathe and she was rolling her eyes. I left the store after telling her i would be calling the owner and writing a review - she acted like she didn't care at all and said go right ahead. read more

Terrible. Ordered a chicken cutlet wrap. Wrap was dripping with oil and the chicken was undercooked. Fries were partially frozen. And the women behind the counter was extremely rude and got mad at me because she thought I was some delivery guy named Steve and I wasn't. I had called my order in 30 mins prior and when I showed up it wasn't ready. I was handed a bag with nuggets in it and was told that's what I said on the phone. Never again. First time LAST TIME. read more

My order was not entered correctly by the cashier when the manager found out he immediately took care of it. Very professional manager who was concerned with customer satisfaction. read more

I wish there was a better rating system on yelp because I would give a 0 star review based on customer service and a 3.5 based on food. I went in this morning and ordered my standard order. I got there pretty early and the girl who was at the register (Monika) was doing something on the terminal and barely acknowledge my presence as I stood there for a good 2 minutes waiting for her to finish whatever it was she was doing. It seemed like she was creating her own lunch order and had inconvenienced her (it was just after 11 and I was the only customer). She rang me up and took my card and swiped it. I looked at the screen to see that I had been overcharged more than $2. I asked about the issue and she said "you wanted a mixed special right, $10.37" well I've been here so many times and my order price is always the same "$8.24". She finally acknowledged that she had charged me for a Snapple I didn't order. She got someone to come from the back and they said they were refunding my card and that was that. I just came from making a deposit at the bank and was told that the original charge for $10.37 was on my card and no reverse charge had been issued. Looking at the receipt they gave me it shows a cash refund was issued but I was given no cash. Driving back to get my $2 will probably cost me more in gas just driving there and I don't have any faith in the staff working there that it would even get resolved. The kicker is that Monika was outside eating as I was pulling out and she was drinking a Snapple, hmm what are the odds. Overall I am disappointed in the way this place is run. In terms of food it's a good spot for a quick fried lunch. I've been a fan of the nuggets/fries/cones for 15+ years. Despite the name changes and splits (reddi rooster, chicken joe's, garden) over the years the food remains consistent (not that difficult when it's all fried). Luckily for me there are tons of places serving the SAME EXACT food in the area and I don't have to return to this particular spot to deal with the horrible CS. read more

I was told to go here after the Starbucks barista girls raved about their breakfast sandwiches. I have to say they were right. I got a ham, egg, and cheese and it was awesome. The better part about this place is that they serve breakfast all day. If you're looking for a breakfast sandwich place in Norwalk, Garden Catering is your spot. read more

A hidden gem. I almost didn't see it as the restaurant is set back off the street in a small very small strip mall. I stopped in for breakfast. I asked for a special order of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cheese. No problem. The food was delicious. They are said to be famous for their chicken nuggets. My food was prepared quickly. It was fresh and affordable. A big PLUS for me since the only other options at that time were fast food. The girl at the counter was pleasant. I will eat there again. read more

Nuggets are banging with cones Quick snack... Today I tried the cheeseburger with chili and onion .... Banging. They put a really good amount mayo and everything read more

Garden Catering - Norwalk - Caterers Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

They used to be legit. The nuggets were a little undercooked the fries were terrible! That is my biggest complaint, its really gone downhill what a shame. read more

Absolutely epic for every meal. I've loved this place since visiting other locations and was elated when Norwalk opened while still wondering if the same quality would follow. I wasn't disappointed -- the same great food and fast service has followed to the new location. read more

Get the special with seasoning. Fries or cones, I love the cones. They are consistently great! Best nuggets around, real cut up chicken breast! They are the originators of the special which used to be called the high school special, maybe kids were cuttin class going for nugget runs and they changed the name, who knows but why get drive thru garbage processed crap when you can get this and comes with a soda read more

Delicious food I got the Philly cheese steak and the Chicken Cutlets both were good I found this place through Uber Eats will be back for more read more

Been going here for lunch about 3 times a week over the last month and am loving the food. The nuggets are the best I have had with real chunks of chicken. You can't beat the the special pricing; 1/2 lb of nuggets, fries and a drink for under $8. I love the option of ordering online and being able to pick it up 15 minutes later. Great time saver. read more

While garden catering food is good the service at the norwalk branch is awful. I'm hard of hearing and today I went in to order two wraps. The lady thought i said roll and when she repeated it back to me i mistaked roll for wrap because she said it quickly and I cannot hear well. When i got it i told her i ordered to wraps she was not apologetic and instead insisted I didn't and that when she repeated it back to me she said roll. She did not offer me another one and was not apologetic in the slightest. While the food is good i would recommend going to the fairfield or any other branch besides norwalk for quality service because Norwalk does not believe in the customer is always right read more

The chicken nuggets special was outstanding. It took me a few weeks to realize it was not just a catering place. I'm mad that I went to the Kentucky Fried chicken a few weeks ago when some of the best nuggets I've ever had were right across the street. Im looking forward to becoming a regular. Oh .. and the FRESH food came out in about 2 minutes, for those of you that like good service. read more

Love this place! I'd call it a hidden gem but it's usually pretty busy there, so somehow the word got out. Great chicken nuggets and corn fritters, and the breakfast wraps are awesome. Oh, the salads are good too.. but it's tough to walk out of there with just a salad when there's all that other deliciousness going on! :) read more

The food is delicious. The prices? About 10 years ago, when I was in high school, it was $5 for a high school special at the Stamford location. You would get enough fries and nuggets to keep you in a food coma for the rest of the day, with enough left over to bring to school the next day. Now? The special is nearly $8. The portions are not even 1/2 the size they used to be. I had to order the Boss special the other day to even begin to approximate the amount of food I would have gotten back 10 years ago. I understand that with expansion comes increased business costs, and the inflation rate necessitates raising the price, but these alone aren't enough to account for the increased prices and skimpy portions. Garden Catering has gotten greedy. The food is still as delicious as ever, but it's hard to justify spending three times what I would normally would have paid 5-10 years ago in order to get the same experience. I miss the old GC, and hope that the owners will revise their pricing strategy, so as to not continue to upset their large existing customer base. read more

In my opinion, GC cones are the single greatest food to ever make its way onto American soul and certainly to ever grace my taste buds. All other food and wraps and such are also exceptional. Will certainly frequent this place till the day I die. read more

Ordered a breakfast sandwich...came with raw flimsy undercooked chewy bacon. The sandwich itself was not cut. Seems the staff has taken a turn for the worse. Will not return. It's a shame. read more

let me tell you about garden cartering in Norwalk. First of all they mess up my order, I return a 2nd time to get the new order. Here's a few things I notice for one the girl behind the counter was extremely rude. I believe her name is Valerie. I've worked in customer service for years and never never never in my life return a food product ( that wasn't what I ordered) to get a new order and the cashier be rude to me! HELLO PEOPLE that isn't customer service. she must have gate keepers syndrome because she was acting like it was against the bible to get another order made free of charge. I get back to my work place open up the sandwich to realize that yet again I received the wrong order-____-. I've seen YouTube videos of trained monkeys taking food orders and getting them right. And these people at garden cartering cant get a wrong order RIGHT. I called yet again and the same brain dead person Valerie picks up I tell her what happen and she oh I wasn't fully awake when I pick up the phone. she must be sleeping on the job. the only thing they could offer me was a gift card. Bascially if they mess up on your order and you don't have time to drive around the world that your out of luck is what garden cartering policy is. Not to mention the wrong order for the 2nd time but there was a hair in the sandwich. And Im not surprised because their was a black girl in the back cooking I believe her name is Monica and she HAD NO HAT, OR HAIR TIE on. I've worked in the food business for a while and I know you should always wear a hat or a hair tie. her hair was not pulled back into a pony and again she didn't have any hat on. I don't think I will ever eat from this place again but I know a few people that eat from their and I've told them to video tape their next experience in that place. I want to put on channel 12 the type of kitchen garden cartering in Norwalk is running. read more
