Country Gardens & Gourmet Deli — Restaurant in Robbinsville Township

I was having a fundraiser for my eighth graders at my school in Bayonne and communicated with Dominic. We were not told that to make money for the fundraiser, we would have to add money to the amount that he gave us and so once orders were paid for we were just selling pies and not making any money. On top of that we were told after the order was placed that due to the distance away that we were from the business there would be a delivery fee which we were never told about before ordering. And to make things even worse, the day of delivery the pies came in the back of a U-Haul truck and 32 pies were messed up during transit. The delivery guys admitted that it was their mistake and while they were there, they spoke to Dominic via phone and we were told that the pies would be replaced, but hours later we received the message saying that he did not have the resources to replace the pies and deliver them. We were also told by Dominic‘s wife that it was our fault at the school for being nasty and disrespectful, and it was the opposite story of what really happened. Now we had to return money to families that ordered pies in time for Thanksgiving and now they will have to find an alternate way to get what they ordered and worse than that, the eighth grade will not make any money from this Fundraiser! We communicated and tried our best, but the business would not help us! Do not do business with this place because if they treated us this way and could care less, they will probably make you feel...

I just left Country Gardens and realized that they have a 3% credit card fee on the receipt now. Maybe there is one somewhere, but I didn’t see a sign for it, and I just disagree with paying that fee. I would rather see businesses charge an additional 5% for their services and products, than to see a 3% fee on my receipt. Credit card fees are a cost of doing business. That’s one of the things you sign up for when you own your own business. I also own a small business, so I totally get the crunch! I will pay extra to keep a small business going, but I won’t do it...

I bought a Country Gardens made turkey pot pie…full of gelatinous liquid, little turkey and looked like old cut up lunch meat. Less than 1/4 cup turkey in half a pie. Should have stayed with Griggstown…buyer beware!!!! Worst I ever had and a waste of money. POST SCRIPT…….. I need to add that I returned the pie today and received a full refund. The manager said he would check into the quality. Their fruit pies are wonderful, and I have purchased many excellent ones over the years…hopefully this recipe will...
