Reviews for Garden City Bistro in Garden City, NY
I ordered a salad today for ~$18, only to find a small green inch worm in it after I had already eaten 90% of it. After becoming... extremely nauseous and vomiting, I went back inside to complain to the woman behind the counter, who proceeded to tell anotherwoman about the situation. She acknowledged that it was from the lettuce but assured me that they ?wash it and wash it?. Afterthis poor excuse, they both stood there and looked at me as if I had two heads. One of them finally said, ?so what do you want,a refund?? Not sure why this would even be a question being that I paid almost $20 for a salad with a bug in it. They even hadthe audacity to ask if I had a receipt and neither of them apologized. I understand that this can happen but I would haveappreciated an apology at the very least. I will never be eating here again. Read more
My coworkers and I tried ordering from here for lunch one day. We planned ahead and ordered an hour early. One hour went by,... still no lunch. Called and they said their standard deliver time is ?an hour to 1 hour and 1/2 !? That?s not STANDARD deliverytime anywhere. Here we are now, our lunch break is over and we haven?t had any lunch. My coworkers and I will not be orderingfrom here ever again. Note to the owner- you many want to mention this to your customers before they ask for delivery. Read more
Every time I eat here I get chronic stomach pains and diarrhea without fail! So do my coworkers and people I have spoken too..... Anyone else? I have made the staff aware... I don't think they clean very well.. What a shame! Read more
Prices went way up, quality continues to be inconsistent, order directions are rarely followed. One day my grilled chicken wrap... has 4 chunks of chicken the next it has twice as much but is missing bacon and the next they forget some other key ingredient.EVERY restaurant on the planet has figured out how to functionally have in-person orders, take out, and delivery. Not GC Bistro.They decide to have 6 people doing the same thing and still can?t pump out orders in a reasonable time. The only reason they areso busy is because literally nobody else around makes regular lunch wraps. The food is fine, but we?re not reinventing thesandwich wheel here and now that wraps are basically $15 each and way smaller than they used to be, it?s just not worth it. Read more
This use to be my favorite spot when I would work in garden city. Went back A year later to get my favorite wrap and they hardly... put any chicken in my wrap. When I when I complained the owner was completely rude and didn?t even bother to check how muchchicken was on my wrap and I was told that I had to pay extra if wanted it chicken on there. They No longer do orders for pickup so I waited on the line for 40 minutes Which was ridiculous. When it came time to pay I was charge for extra chicken and Iwas charged for bread which in the past they would give for free with your order. Will not be coming back here. overrated. Notworth the line. And customer service has gone downhill. Read more
Way overrated!!!! Business hours are horrible, not open weekends and often randomly closed during the week. Staff is super rude... and refuse to accept call ahead orders for pick up. Wait time for walk in orders can take over 30 minutes. Salads are good butcertainly not worth the aggravation. Tons of great alternatives in the GC area. Appreciate the response but your excuse isweak. Read prior reviews, patrons have complained about wait time and staff for years. As an owner you should own the criticism,learn from the critique and improve the business. No one is picking on ?you? remarkably childish response from a business owner.And yes I, as I am sure many will go elsewhere for a salad. Read more
We order from here like 3 times a week at work and I have to say this is the best salad I've ever had and the paninis are great... too. The crab cake is also amazing. Read more
This is the first time I ordered from GC Bistro in about a year. Their prices have increased a lot. I'm a vegetarian and still... spend about $15 for a salad plus a tip for delivery. Not very affordable anymore. Read more
