    Medium Middle Bucket
    Nichole C.

    Every time we come here it gets more and more underwhelming. The Italian sausage was extremely overdone and rubbery to chew and the meatball was dry. Our medium bucket came in a flimsy to go container where sauce was leaking from the lid. The usually good bread was also terrible. The garlic loaf had the faintest bit of garlic butter swiped across and the cheese bread was literally just cheese on a baguette and totally untoasted. The bread was soft and looked as though it had been heated just enough to melt the cheese. We wound up making frozen garlic bread and tossing the bread and meat as it was inedible. With what this costed compared to what we got, I don't think we'll be back. Save the money and make this at home.

    Spaghetti Time!

    My wife and I were looking for something easy and different and saw "By The Bucket" we were instantly intrigued and had to try it! The food is warm, always fresh and absolutely amazing for 20.00 my wife and I have dinner and leftovers. The service is amazing and the owners are always fun to joke and laugh with. It's a small 2-3 person operation and they work hard, support this local business the ambiance is nice and there are a couple places to sit and eat if interested. We are huge fans and order here 1-3 times a month whether it's in person or delivered!

Walked in and couldn't get anybody to say hi to us. We were behind a big gathering but had trouble getting acknowledgment. The customers behind us finally got someone's attention and they offered both of our party's seating at the high top tables by the bar. Took somebody a few minutes to get the table cleared but then that was the last time we were acknowledged! We sat there for nearly 15 minutes watching waiters, the manager, bartenders and everybody walk by our table. Not one person looked up to give us a smile, nob, or notification they would come back. It was busier than normal but we were COMPLETELY IGNORED! Finally, I got pissed off and walked up to the front desk and gave them back our menus. I told them after 15 minutes no one has acknowledged us. Rather than anyone try to solve the problem they just started at us so we walked out! Horrible experience. And again, people were walking by our table for 15 minutes with and without items in their hands and NO ONE said ANYTHING! The manager in the pink shirt walked by twice and didn't notice us! A shame that they decided to ruin my daughter's birthday with the lack of customer service

The drinks are limited if you don't like sweet drinks so I paid full price for a cocktail off the list.

The waitress did change it but a customer shouldn't have to tell you the price is incorrect. The service was good. She checked on us frequently.

We were very disappointed in our experience. My husband was excited about having the Osso Bucco and I was planning to have Branzino, but we were quickly informed that they were out of both!

We also ordered bottle of wine and then informed they were out of that kind of wine. So I ordered the Chilean Seabass and my husband ordered risotto. My husband did enjoy his risotto. The Seabass was very disappointing. It was tough. I had to cut it with a knife. It was very bland! Then we decided to order dessert and we were immediately told they were out of the cannolis ,my husband's favorite. We did order the crêpes which were delicious and prepared at the table.

What a treat. Exactly what I'm looking for in a Caesar salad. So good! The pesto on the Caprese was house made and so tasty. I want to try a pesto dish next time. My wife had the Sacchetti Porcini with truffle and it was light and perfectly balanced flavor. The pillows melted in your mouth. Will definitely have again. The Lobster Ravioli had a well balanced limoncello flavor and not too creamy. Cool striped pasta. Perfect for those not super hungry but wanting a unique dish that is sure to please. Steak Nicola was was cooked to perfection and had a suburb combination of black truffle, aus jus and prosciutto cotto to make it a memorable dish. I'm still craving it the day after. The cannelloni for dessert was perfectly Italian with awesome flavors. A perfectly compliment to an amazing dinner. This is a gem is Chandler!!!
