If you’re seeking a bonafide pasta powerhouse that operates with surgical efficiency, By The Bucket is the move. I stumbled upon this establishment by pure serendipity while leaving a neighboring business, and as a foodie, aka dedicated advocate for local commerce, I felt compelled to investigate.
The aesthetic of the shop is surprisingly a perfect mom-and-pop ambiance. The smell of the garlic butter and freshly toasted bread caresses your soul—combined with the sight of the food being prepared—was nothing short of heavenly.
I give it a definitive 10/10; By The Bucket is high-quality & I’ll be frequenting often. I highly recommend this for parties of all scales—you simply will not be disappointed.
We are talking 0.5 to 1.5lbs of immaculate al dente spaghetti (treated with a signature specialized soak) paired with a robust sauce that refuses to be a watery afterthought. The centerpiece is the irresistible ground meat/matball, blanketed under a dense, half-inch mozzarella melt that delivers a theatrical, high-tension cheese stretch.
Pro tip: Call ahead, tell them your ETA, and your order will be hot n ready the moment you arrive.
You can see the full spread in the visuals—totaling a very reasonable $39. The entire experience was meant to be. Do not overlook the Italian Sausage Sub, the decadent banana cheesecake, or the artisan homemade chocolate chip cookies for the finishing touch.
Get the Big Bucket!

If you’re going for a Tuesday night special, $7 for the portion you get & the size of garlic bread is enough for 2 meals. The meat sauce is solid and the bread is large (you get another piece, I ate the first). I’d give it a 7.2/10 and that’s good for what I payed (salad not included).

We tried this for the first time last week and loved it. Ordered a medium bucket and medium ceaser salad for take-out to pickup and got to chat with one of the owners Connie. You can tell she loves what she does and the food reflects that. I will definitely be a repeat offender.

Absolutely awful. I paid for a bucket to feed 3-4 and received a single portion. Ordered via Uber Eats and they’re just as bad. Won’t refund the amount due. There are many By the Buckets. Don’t use this one.

The customer service is very good. The owner was there working. They have lots of different options. This will work great for anyone looking for feeding a group at a reasonable price. The over all taste was good. If you can cook at home is the only way you can beat the deal, but if your pressed for time you can not beat this. The garlic bread was very good. Glad I got to try the place.

This place definitely lived up to the hype! The staff was super friendly and attentive. We ordered to-go at the counter, and it was ready in under ten minutes. We got the middle bucket (spaghetti with marinara and bread) and added a meatball for each of us. It was the perfect amount, with even a little leftover. The sauce and meatballs were fantastic! Thanks so much!

Great place to eat. We went here for lunch and the spaghetti was amazing. The medium bucket was perfect for two, and we even had a little leftover for a snack. I like that you can customize the buckets the way you like it, and the customer service was second to none. Thanks for the great experience!

This was a great alternative from pizza for our soccer team dinner. They were super helpful in helping me get the right amount of food for our party of 30. We didn’t love the alfredo (a little bland) but marinara pasta, ceasar salad and garlic bread were perfect. Highly recommend for a big group of athlete at a tournament!

I’m not sure what happened ,but we ordered a family bucket ( 1lbs ,6 meatballs, 1 loaf ) with a meat sauce upgrade . We got a large,no meatballs,1 loaf ,and definitely no sauce upgrade . I genuinely try to like places however after tasting the atrocious amalgamation of ingredients ,I can’t recommend this place . I understand ordering mistakes ,but I just spent 30$ on a pile of something I’m throwing away.

This place has been on the list to try and I’m so glad we did. The staff was friendly and attentive. We placed our to-go order at the counter and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. We tried the middle bucket (spaghetti, marinara, and came with bread) as well as a meatball for each of the three of us. A perfect amount, even a little leftover. Loved the sauce and the meatballs! Thank you!
