Alfredo
Normally when I order 10 meatballs I get a fair amount of sauce. As you can see they are dry. Very disappointed.
Nowhere near enough sauce on this pasta. And the meatballs were awful.
Dessert
The sauce wasn't even very good. But they definitely don't put enough on their pasta.

Very dry garlic bread.

No extra sauce in the bottom of the bucket... luckily I had sauce in my fridge to warm up.
Partially burnt but very dry cheesy bread. They also cost $9 loaf....

Hate to admit that we stopped here to pick up some pasta on our way home from a trip to Payson. The service was great the young man working behind the counter was super nice and did a great job. The restaurant was clean inside. The pasta was completely under sauced. Nowhere near enough sauce for the amount of pasta they gave you. The pasta noodles actually just had a little bit of a red tint to them because there was such a small amount of sauce on them. So disappointing. The garlic bread was chewy and under seasoned, nowhere near enough garlic. The salad was fair at best. I would definitely recommend that they look at a new vendor for their frozen meatballs because those meatballs they served were terrible. Way too much money for a below average serving of pasta in my opinion. I do not recommend going to this restaurant if you want Italian food.

By the Bucket has become a family favorite. I think its more for the fact that you can literally by spaghetti by the bucket, so niche. Our goto is bucket of spaghetti with meat sauce. Sometimes we are fancy and toss in some meatballs too. We also get a side of garlic bread too! The spaghetti is cooked perfectly, its not mushy or soft which is what I was worried about. The meat sauce is good, I just toss in some chili peppers to make it spicy. Also have picked up a side salad too.Every time I have gone service has friendly and great! If not in the mood to cook dinner and not interest in fast burgers or burritos, go give By The Bucket a try!

I've been looking to try this place when I got the chance! It's conveniently located near me, so we tried it out on a night we were not feeling like cooking. We ordered Alfredo bucket. For the price, it seemed like we got barely half the bucket when we opened it, which was very upsetting. However, we soon realized it was SO DENSE. The Alfredo sauce was very thick and creamy. Although it wasn't gourmet sauce with herbs and authentic flavors, it definitely hit the spot for being quick and accessible. If I was on the way home craving pasta with no time to cook it myself, then I would order again. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother or recommend it for treating yourself. The service was great though! The employees were very friendly, and our order was ready in 15 minutes. The ambiance was your typical takeout place (much like any pizza takeout store) but with some Italian flair.

I was skeptical at first for something so easily made at home. We had the middle bucket with garlic bread. Loaded up on some meatballs (Monday is 4 =5 meatballs). Also had some salad to top it off. Everything was incredibly amazing and we are glad to have stoped to give it a try. The meatballs were so tasty. We will be back as it's close to home.

I visited here once, not long after they opened. It's good for 'fast food spaghetti'. Good portions, average taste. But nothing beats homemade!

Definitely order ahead. Tasty! Actually took it on a picnic. Don't think I've ever had spaghetti on a picnic before!

Fast food that I'd never call it Italian, it's no better than what you get from a can, soggy pasta with souce slipped on top, with an option to add expensive bready meat balls to your order

Spaghetti just not as good as last year. Great service. Reasonable prices. Not sure what they changed with spaghetti sauce but just not as good as what I remember
