By The Bucket

Nothing but Love Love Love. Not fancy, no playground, just delicious-every-time (almost better than your mama made but don't tell her I said that) spaghetti and variations. The place is clean, the staff knows their stuff, the food is hot and delish, price is reasonable, that's everything I need.

A mom friend recommended this place. We tried it for the first time and the whole family loved it. We got chicken Alfredo with garlic bread. The family meal is enough for 4. I'll probably get an extra garlic bread next time.It was just super yummy and great service at this spot!Thank you for an easy dinner night!

I remember seeing by the bucket somewhere up north and always wanted to try it so I'm glad I finally got the chance to today! My husband called in our order and it was ready fast! We got bambino buckets, marinara for me, meat sauce for him. We also shared cheesy garlic bread and Mac n cheese. The spaghetti was basic but really good and we both had leftovers! The garlic cheese bread was our favorite part for sure. Would come back for a quick and filling meal!

Fast and easy! I like the simplicity of the menu. Delicious food, enough for everybody or just somebody! Great team, very helpful.

The spaghetti is good but the meatball sandwich is not worth the money. The sandwich consists of two meatballs cut in half, sauce and cheese. Per their menu they charge $2.00 a meatball so the sandwich had $4.00 worth of meatballs and they charge $9.99 for it. The meatballs were a bit salty for me and the bread was over toasted so it just wasn't worth it for me as the bread to meatball ratio was way off. The spaghetti is a deal. For $12.00 you can get the middle size bucket which is plenty for two and a chunk of garlic bread.It's quick and easy and affordable so it's worth trying.

I really wanted to like this place - the customer service was superb, however, the food was mediocre. I got a medium bucket filled with spaghetti noodles with a small amount of sauce laid on top which was disappointing. After mixing it together you could barely taste any of the sauce. I would suggest they either put the sauce on the side so that it could be evenly distributed or put some sauce at the top AND bottom of the bucket. The garlic bread was good and the meatballs were delicious. I don't think I would ever come back for the bucket but possibly try the sub sandwich and give that a go. The ambience is nothing spectacular, but it's not that important since it's a fast food not a place you plan to sit and eat at.

Great food, great service, the owner is SO friendly! Bought 2 familia buckets and 2 large salads + 12 meatballs for a family of 7. More than enough food! Lg salad bucket would have been fine for us, and also the familia bucket was enough as well, so next time we'll get one bucket and go heavier on the meatballs. Fun concept and super fast.

We were lucky enough to try this place while at a party. They had pasta catered for their party. When I got to the food, the pasta was over cooked. The sauce was average at best. I was told the bread was pretty good, but I didn't get to try it.Fast forward a couple months, we decided to try it fresh since our daughter wanted pasta. We discovered the meatballs (I believe is their only meat options) were 2 dollars per 1 "golf ball sized" meatball. We went to the Albertsons and got a huge frozen bag of meatballs instead, but got the spaghetti and garlic bread to go. This time, the pasta was equally over cooked. It seems to be cooked before they put it in the water to cook again. The sauce was average again. The bread is good, but homemade is way better!The lady at the counter was friendly. When she wasn't preparing/serving food, she was sitting in this weird office. Probably won't be going back. No one in the family was too impressed and for the price (especially for the meatballs) it's much easier to just make a better meal at home.

First time at By the Bucket. Shopped at the nearby Albertson's and thought I would pick up dinner for the off-spring. Ordered the family bucket which is about 1.5 pounds of spaghetti with sauce and a half loaf of garlic bread for $17.95. They made the spaghetti to order so was happy to see that. They added a couple of ladles of marinara sauce. Meatballs are $2 each for 2 ounces of meat. Contains pork, beef, Ricotta and Romano Cheese. Server recommended six to eight meatballs so I ordered four. Added another half loaf and total with tax was about $30.They also have meatball subs and Caesar salad on the limited menu. Spaghetti and marinara sauce were as expected. Meatballs and garlic bread were good. Staff was helpful. May try it again for the meatball sub.

I finally made it over to grub on some spaghetti! It was ehhh.. presentation was not very appetizing. Noodles were gummy / starchy, not enough sauce it was all piled on top so the noodles on the bottom were dry. Bread was squishy, but those meatballs those were delish. I give 2 stars cause I got spaghetti I completed my goal, but I could have made better at home.
