This was probably the worst meal I've had in quite some time. I ordered the small bucket with meat sauce, three meatballs and ¼ garlic bread. The bread was soggy and the sauce was overwhelmingly bad, over seasoned and the noodles were congealed together and sticky. The meatballs were ok. I ate one, but they were drenched in marinara sauce. Next time I want spaghetti, I'll just make it myself.

This spaghetti place is to go only. No drive thru and no dine in. My hubby and I went after his buddy spoke highly of Spaghetti by the Bucket. We upgraded from garlic bread to a half loaf of cheesy bread and got three meatballs with our order ($2 each), quickly got our meal and went home. We were given napkins, forks, and lots of Parmesan cheese ( in packets). The place was clean with a bench to sit and wait at. The food is very basic and exactly what one makes at home. A novelty that gets you exactly what's its advertising. I think pricey for what you get. Fun to try, but the food wasn't hot, and was not cooked to order. We came at 7:15pm, near closing. There was one employee, who had to answer the phone, take and get the orders together, and hand out orders. So this a step up from a food truck, but in a modest building. The food was cafeteria quality, okay. I'm thinking there are be folks who want plain food, who will enjoy predictable spaghetti with red sauce or Alfredo. May they find success.

Was really hoping to like this place but honestly it's Not good! I just paid $24 for a bucket of spaghetti noodles with a small amount of mediocre tasting (my whole family's opinion) spaghetti meat sauce poured over the top.Dear owner, Not enough meat sauce... Price$$ too high seriously... from someone who is very aware of today's food costs.

Probably a fun meal for kids, but not much to offer adults.I'd always been curious as this place as I live on the Eastside and often pass it. A bucket o' spaghetti? I'm in.Unfortunately the food didn't live up to the fun. The sauce is the standard sweet sauce that mass produced places make. Same with the pasta. Overcooked and soft. I got the meat sauce and the pieces of meat were soft as well, which I didn't mind. The garlic toast was nice and buttery.I ordered through Door Dash so I couldn't get a feel for the staff, service, or restaurant area. They do delivery well with strong containers that keep the food hot and fresh. Very convenient.Like I said it would be a fun place to drive thru with the kids on the way home, but as a single adult the taste just didn't appeal to me. To each his own.

Well I went back like I said I would. I was greeted by a different staff member who was also very helpful and kind. I ordered the large Mac and cheese and a meatball sub. I was shocked when I got home to find that the container for my Mac & cheese was barely past half full (I was already wishing the container was a little bigger). I'm not sure if this is their regular practice, but I definitely felt slighted like when you buy a bag of chips and only get half the bag! I will say it still tasted amazing. However, I will say the leftovers the next day did not taste as flavorful. The meatball sub was good.

What a disappointment !First time here and the spaghetti was doughy and mushy-- gross. Never heard of Al dente. Too bad because the sauce is good. Won't be back.

Meat n sauce is good but it doesn't have any different qualities to make it stand out. Wish there was some uniqueness to the meal to make me want more when I return to Tucson. The bread is tasty and delivery was a snap. Nacho's stretchy pants may not be so stretchy if they don't make the sauce unique!

I ONLY ordered 6 meatballs and Xtra Marinara sauce to take home to add to MY homemade Eggplant Parmesan to save me the time preparing my own since I had heard a lot of good reviews about this place. I shall go again and order one dozen balls to go !!

I had high hopes, but they were quickly dashed!! I had the rose sauce with spaghetti instead of the penne pasta, which was a huge mistake although I don't know if the penne would have been any better. But, the consistency of the pasta, I don't even know what that was. It was like sawdust. It was so gross, I spit it out, never took another bite. The garlic bread was mediocre at best and the meatballs, well they tasted like meat, but once again a consistency issue., I'd say all in all, this was the absolute worst spaghetti I have ever had in my entire life. I Would have taken it back if they had been open, to get my money back, and I never do that!! I think it is insulting that they served the quality of food they did and expected me to fork over $32 and a tip. It wasn't worth two dollars in my opinion...
