By The Bucket - Phoenix

I?m seeing a lot of reviews saying there was too much sauce, but for me it was the opposite: NOT ENOUGH! It was like 95% noodle and 5% sauce. The noodles were extremely bland, but honestly if there was more sauce it would?ve helped. The meatballs wereprobably some of the worst meatballs I?ve had. They reminded me of giant spaghetti-o?s meatballs; a very artificial taste. I amgiving this place two stars ONLY because the garlic bread, cheese bread, and cheesecake was good. Aside from those, thespaghetti wasn?t worth the price.

It was our first time eating at By The Bucket, and we were greeted with wonderful excellent customer service (I forget the man?s name, but he was very nice! . The food was very enjoyable and we will definitely be back there again. Highly recommend;especially since the price for what you get is generous and worth it.

I recently visited this restaurant for the first time and absolutely loved it! It was a fun and convenient option for bringing home dinner. The customer service was outstanding. My friends and I devoured the pasta and garlic bread. Be sure to order the meatballs as well—they're incredibly delicious. We will definitely be returning!

My family and I absolutely love this restaurant! The owner, Howard, is fantastic and always so welcoming whenever we visit. It's a kid-friendly place, and the meatballs are simply outstanding. The service is excellent, and I really appreciate having the options for takeout and delivery. After my recent knee surgery, I had a delivery from them, and it made my recovery so much better—such comforting food! The garlic bread and cheese bread are delicious! Even though I'm gluten intolerant, I couldn't resist having the bread! Our granddaughter also adores this place; it's one of her favorites too! I'm planning to cater a holiday party in two weeks and I'm thinking of choosing The Bucket for our food. I'm so glad to have such a wonderful restaurant nearby! I highly recommend it. Make sure to tell them La La sent you! Happy Holidays!

I visited this restaurant for the first time, and based on the name "By The Bucket," I expected a generous serving in a bucket, but that wasn’t the case. There was very little pasta with an overly sweet sauce. If we hadn’t added meatballs for $2 each, there would have been hardly any food. The garlic bread was just a toasted French loaf with butter and no garlic flavor. They don’t have a place to dine in, and they don’t provide utensils or salt and pepper. I won’t be returning; it just wasn’t worth the over $20 we spent for what we received. I do not recommend this place! I even have pictures of what we ordered.
