    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?

The teriyaki chicken tasted more like an Asian dish than a Hawaiian dish. But the chicken and rice were good and the teriyaki sauce was good too. My gripe is about two things: 1. Asking for extra sauce 2. Odd service When I received my order, I asked for extra teriyaki sauce and the lady looked and responded to me a bit rudely. Almost felt like me asking for 1 extra teriyaki sauce packet was going to bankrupt their business lol. That's weird and honestly puts a weird vibe on the experience here. The odd service comes from them packing up my order "to go". I never asked for it to go. They never asked me if I was taking it to go. They just packed it up to go. So I began wondering why and then started noticing things. I started watching other customers come in and order. Well, just like it seems like every food spot asks for a "tip" nowadays, I noticed that the customers who chose to tip them (for who knows why ‍) received their orders on a plate to eat in the restaurant. I noticed two other customers who chose "no tip" received their orders in "to go" bags. When I payed for my order, I also chose not to pay a tip because there's simply no reason to pay a tip for pick up places like this. And I also received a "to go" bag. Maybe this is all in my head or just coincidence, but it would be weird to see this happening to everyone who chooses to tip or not to tip, during the 15-20min eating time I had there. So due to these weird things, that's why I chose 3/5 stars. I've never seen another business question a customer asking for more sauce not ever seen them take customers not tipping and personal vendetta's. ‍

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!

The girl who then came on the phone was equally if not more rude. When I told her what happened her response was, and this is a quote, "well I didn't make the sandwich." WOW!!! That's YOUR manager!! YOUR representative of what and who you are. What you are is a less than 2 star location and looking to get down to 1 star. With folks like this you should be able to achieve that goal fairly quickly. I can safely say this is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. By the way I am in the same business and I get busy, understaffed and all the other stuff that comes with restaurant work. If you don't like the stress then get another job. So, to the worst manager of the entire Phoenix market I say - Quit before you get fired and find a nice little desk job where you can sit in the corner and do nothing. That's what I think your work effort is worth - nothing
