Reviews for By the Bucket Surprise in Surprise, AZ
Why are people complaining about the price? That's what it costs to feed 5 people going out to eat. Also, you get a bucket of... spaghetti that you don't have to make, in 5 minutes! The spaghetti and bread are both fresh and delicious! Staff was very niceand place very clean. Recommend highly! Read more
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, butif 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 andit was a simple fix. On to the bread, we got both garlic bread and cheese bread. They came wrapped in tin foil, the bread tastedgood 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 afew minutes and it was much better. We also got a slice of cheesecake, I will say it was absolutely delicious!! I'd go back justfor 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'tbe somewhere I'd go very often. Read more
Was disappointing. No flavor. Sauce was mediocre. Paid $27 for average noodles with bad sauce. Bread was good. Meatballs no... good. My partner was very upset we spent the money on this. Read more
We got a middle bucket and cheesy garlic bread. The meatballs had good flavor and were tender, the spaghetti was cooked right... and the marinara was tasty, bread was cheesy and had a nice garlic flavor. lot of food for a great price, we actually had enoughleftover for lunch the next day. This is a nice alternative to your typical fast food, more like a home cooked meal. Staff wasvery friendly. I would definitely recommend. Read more
Ordered the largest family meal with extra garlic bread, meatballs, extra sauce, a meatball sub and a cheese bread. Pasta... portion was perfect for 4. I didn?t have sauce on the side, so I assume they put it directly on the pasta along with themeatballs. Also would have preferred the meatballs on the side as I?m vegetarian and they were for the others. I wanted sauce todip bread and for leftovers. Food was decent, though the family wanted crispy bread. I thought it was fine. I?d rather crisp upbread at home than have it overdone and nothing can be done about it. The leftover cheese bread and meatballs made for anothermeatball sub day 2, with crispy bread ;) As an easy pick up, feed the crowd last minute it was a nice option, though nothinggourmet. Read more
Very disappointing. Zero flavor!! We were super excited to try this place and unfortunately it?s not worth spending the money.... Paid a little over $27 for the half bucket of spaghetti, six meatballs and half bread. As you can see from the picture there?spretty much zero sauce on the spaghetti. You would think that it would be saucy. The meatballs were decent size and had goodflavor. The garlic bread was not toasty it was just soggy and salty. I am definitely not one that likes to give one stars. Youcan check from my profile that most of my reviews tend to be five star reviews. I don?t recommend this place unfortunately. Read more
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 niceand clean, staff was friendly and service was fast. I will for sure go back! Read more
The meatballs and sauce are amazing! I've never been a meatball lover until now. Garlic bread is also delicious. Great value... especially if feeding a family, they have a family deal which includes a large bucket of spaghetti, sauce, 6 meatballs and ahalf loaf of garlic bread all for only $29.95! Read more
