    First off people are haters!! This is good damn Ghetti!!! Personally the sauce could be a little sweeter but it's delicious nonetheless !!! Definitely worth the $$ great price and love the business model!!! Hard to find good ghetti(spaghetti) ; but baby don't look further they got you!! I did the small with meat sauce and meatballs!! The meatballs are fantastic!!! Don't change a thing everything is perfect the salt is just enough! If they want sweeter they can make it a bit more to taste like i did when i got home! But thank you by the bucket i will be back!!

    Middle Bucket served three of us - we added meatballs

    So my family was very intrigued by this "fast food spaghetti" concept and decided to give it a whirl, if you'll allow the pun. Considering we placed our order, walked out the door in under five minutes, and paid around $25 for three people I'd say we were fairly impressed. We purchased the Middle Bucket, upgraded the quarter garlic bread to a half loaf with cheese, and added five meat balls. The spaghetti and sauce are perfectly fine - no complaints - and it's served piping hot so it travels well in the bucket. I'm not a big meatball lover but I actually liked theirs, which is saying a lot. The best I can say about the bread is that it was serviceable. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't crazy about it. Could you make all of this more inexpensively yourself? Sure, but is that why any of us eat out? In the end, if you're looking for a different style of takeout for the family that's affordable, I recommend you Buy the Bucket.

    How do you get delivery?

    I've read DoorDash delivers from baseline store. I'd call your store and ask what vendor they use

    How is their pasta? Closer to firm/al dented or soft/well done?

One of the owners was actually working the register and she was very kind and honored our coupon without a blink of an eye. My husband got the turkey avocado that was delicious! And I got the four cheese original Melty. Which was also delicious, but both were very very rich. At our age (60+) we definitely could've shared one sandwich and been totally fine. It was all delicious and they had some fun dipping sauces. Like jalapeño jelly and chipotle mayo. Which were both very yummy too. We didn't get any sides because it's too close to dinner. But they had lots of options. If I got the cheese one in the future, I would absolutely get it with their tomato basil soup to dip in! But otherwise it was a little too rich all by itself. Unless you're sharing with someone. Absolutely worth a try!

I saw this location had some good seating to have 10 of us as a send off. The staff was incredibly friendly, and even offered extra chairs and help move tables if needed. What We Ordered: - German Potato Salad: My cousin ordered and really liked it. I'm not a fan of German potato salad, so I didn't enjoy the flavor. I'll stick to my potato salad. - Potato Salad: Pretty decent for a potato salad, but nothing standout for me. - Meatball Sub: My cousin and his son split this, and they said it was quite large. They wished it had more sauce, but still overall a decent meatball sub. - Caesar Salad + Chicken: I couldn't snap a photo before my cousin's girlfriend and his daughter tore into this. They seemed very pleased with the salad and at a glance, it looked pretty delicious. - Philly Cheesesteak: My dad said it was very good and ate the whole thing! - Roasted Veggie Wrap: My mom said it was nice, and veggies are refreshing on a hot summer day. It was wrapped well, and enjoyed the umami of the mushrooms and balsamic glaze. - Pastrami Reuben: I loved this sandwich! The pastrami was delicious, and I'm excited to have leftovers which is saying something. I'm not usually one to look forward to leftovers. - Turkey & Swiss Wrap: My auntie throughly enjoyed this, and said it was the perfect last meal in America before heading back to England. - Chef Salad: My auntie and I split this to have a bit of veg. Lovely salad with lots of ingredients that complimented each other well. - The American (Reuben-style): My cousin really enjoyed this sandwich and said it was quite large. Next time, she could easily split with me or her fiancée. - Cuban: My cousin's fiancée ordered this and said it's the best Cuban sandwich he's ever had! Quite high remarks. Honestly, I'm not sure I could pick a better place. Very friendly, quick service, and great eats. Definitely return to this location when in the area, and will recommend to family and friends.

    Thanks to Jolee, I'd order here again…read more Ordered doordash and screwed up my own order thinking a wrap was a lettuce wrap. Called the store and they were willing to make it as a bowl for me. I've had bad experiences with sandwich bowls from other places but my #9 bowl with pepperoni and extra cheese was actually excellent. They chop things super well so you're not having to cut everything to get mixed bites, and it's well sauced without being too much. They also threw in some hot pepper relish on the side on request. I had to call the store 3 times but Jolee was a massive pleasure to work with and made the experience not only painless but also delicious.

It's kinda crazy me and my wife only ordered two subs couldn't even get them in the span of an hour and a half waiting to submit because I actually wanna time how long it took to get these sandwiches. At a certain point when do you hold up the line of people ordering for the mobile orders line. The staff were nice but lunch is either a disaster every-time or someone ordered a 100 sandwiches. The food is good the ambiance is good just wondering why it took an hour and a half to get my mobile order of two sandwiches.
