I have never eaten By the Bucket before, but the last two days, I ate there back to back. My plan is to try the entire menu! Anyways, I ordered the spaghetti and chicken Alfredo two different times, and both dishes were AMAZING. They tasted excellent, the flavor was popping, and the garlic bread was a perfect addition. I will continue to come back to place to order cause it tastes great! I am a bigger pasta lover now because of this place!

We got a bucket for 4-5 with marinara sauce. Spaghetti noodles were overcooked and not much flavor. The sauce had pretty good flavor, but there was not near enough, so the spaghetti was dry. The garlic bread and Ceasar salad were good. Overall we were disappointed.

First time here. I've been meaning to try this place for a couple months and finally went in the other day. All in all I have to say I was pretty happy with my experience there. First of all, the staff were really friendly and did a great job. I got my order quickly and nothing was missing. Inside was clean with a kind of no frills vibe (they only serve a handful of menu items, after all). I got the small bucket of spaghetti with 2 meatballs, garlic bread (that came with the spaghetti order), and a side of extra marinara. For a take-out spaghetti meal I thought it was really good. The meatballs were fantastic! The noodles weren't under or over cooked. The marinara was tasty. And the garlic bread was really good. If I had to nit pick, it would be that they were a little skimpy on the marina

My husband loves to get a bucket of spaghetti and eat it all to himself! probably not good for him but it makes him happy. He always has to do a lot of walking with his weighted vest after this.
