Reviews

Decided to give this place a try, I thought it was just okay.
Nice to have a quick pick up option other than pizza or some drive thru.
There was plenty of food, the sauce was all on top of the noodles in the bucket.
I thought there was plenty of sauce, but if you don't scoop it out right, it would seem like a lot less.
The flavor was kind of bland, I added some oregano at home and it was a simple fix.
On to the bread, we got both garlic bread and cheese bread.
They came wrapped in tin foil, the bread tasted good but it was soft and on the verge of soggy.
Could have been due to how it was packaged.
I popped it in the air fryer for a few minutes and it was much better.
We also got a slice of cheesecake, I will say it was absolutely delicious!! I'd go back just for the cheesecake alone.
If you want a quick meal that you may need to spruce up a bit, it's not a bad choice, but it wouldn't be somewhere I'd go very often.


I like the idea of this place, but the prices were off and honestly, the spaghetti was pretty bland.
I think my biggest complaint during my visit was the price of the meatballs.
They ask $2 PER meatball, and it’s just a normal sized meatball, nothing exciting, nothing big, so to ask that much for one meatball seemed ridiculous.
The lady working the counter was very nice but again, the spaghetti didn’t have much flavor and to add a meat was just too expensive.
Garlic bread was tasty though.


Got to try By The Bucket at Reems and Bell yesterday.
I got a small bucket, extra sauce, extra meatballs and half a loaf of cheese bread.
It was delicious! With tip I think I paid about 24 dollars and got a 2nd meal with the leftovers.
Place was nice and clean, staff was friendly and service was fast.
I will for sure go back!
