Garden Catering makes the BEST chicken nuggets you'll ever have. Founded in 1978, our nuggets have been around since Bruce Springsteen blared on vinyl and disco vibes were in full swing.
We’re a quick-serve style restaurant with a full menu of nuggets, wraps, salads and breakfast served all day. Catering is a huge part of our business and in some locations we also offer late night hours. We are a family owned and operated company with 8 locations in CT and NY and more locations on the horizon.
We believe in family first, community impact, and doing whatever it takes to be of-service to our team and of course, to our guests.
