By the Bucket Hot Spaghetti to Go!

Nothing fancy about this place, but the food is always hot and cooked to perfection. Portion sizes are plentiful as well. Highly recommended!

We grabbed this for a quick dinner one weeknight. We got the small bucket with cheesy garlic bread and added 4 meatballs. This is a quick grab and go place and the options are basically pasta, sauce, meatballs and bread. There is a catering tray setup behind the counter that house all their foods. The sauce is just a plain marinara served with spaghetti. We added 4 meatballs ($2 a piece) which were a generous size and tasty. The garlic cheesy bread didn't have much flavor and didn't really care for it. I wish they had a meat sauce option which would give a bit more variety. Overall, if you like a plain spaghetti and quick meal to go this is a spot to checkout. If we were in the area I would probably stop in again for the spaghetti and meatballs.

Great concept. I was hanging out with friends next door but was fascinated with this place and had to walk in and check it out. Well, I walked out with a bucket of spaghetti. It was tasty but nothing special. Enjoyable and perfect for a busy day - if you need to feed a lot of people fast, come here! I enjoyed it and the staff was friendly.

Love this area! I frequent the tailgaters, macayos and Bootys in the plaza. Heard of this new place and was pretty excited. I tried the spaghetti and meatballs and my husband had the meatball marinara. Sad to say the noodles tasted thick and doughy & the meatballs were plain. Probably wouldn't go back, but the customer service was good.

Quick and easy when you need a break from making dinner. The garlic bread and meatballs are my kid's favorite.

It's not easy to find something fast & affordable for four growing boys, but I have always had great luck at this place! The customer service is amazing, food is always ready and hot when promised and it's very reasonable. We do like to add our own seasoning once home and throw the garlic bread in the toaster oven for a bit. It's a great deal!

Absolutely 5 stars.

By the Bucket is a fast way to have a spaghetti dinner.We ordered spaghetti, 2-meatballs (that were OK, not to rave about) two slices of Italian bread covered with cheese.The spaghetti was good, but not outstanding, which is surprising as that is the main menu item.The Italian bread with melted cheese separated within the 10-minute drive home. We had a very thick slice of melted greasy cheese and bread that was cold and soggy.

Normally wouldn't complain, but this is the second time that I paid for an entire family meal, which says it's supposed to come with five meatballs, and I trusted them when they tied up the bag and I walked out and AGAIN for the second time they left out the meatballs. Basically paid $35 for spaghetti and some bread.

If you are looking for a fast family or single take out place for dinner for a good price, By the Bucket checks the boxes. They are friendly and food is decent. Their meatballs are great but I personally like the meat sauce. They offer toasted bread with each meal and we always have left overs.
