    We love By the Bucket and are frequent customers. I just recently ordered through the app which was super easy. They had a busy evening and had to delay pickup time by only about 5 minutes, which was no big deal-- I appreciated that they updated me via text/app. It's just as easy to call in an order, too. There have been times where we have been missing something from the order but didn't even realize until they called to say, "Hey we forgot this item and are so sorry! Come back or we can refund you." Super accommodating, we understand mistakes happen. Anyhow, food is tasty and we love being able to support a family-owned business on nights I don't feel like cooking. Highly recommend!! :)

    Best meatball sub around. The mac and cheese with green salsa was fire. And don’t sleep on the HOMEMADE desserts! I’m telling you the bread pudding and tiramisu are incredible…. And for under 6 bucks?? I’ll Take both please!

    Can’t speak highly enough about this location of By the Bucket. They catered our Mom’s 90th birthday and even delivered it exactly on time, piping hot and fresh. They also created a homemade tiramisu dessert that is simply the best we’ve ever had. The entire meal was so delicious and prepared to perfection. But perhaps our favorite thing about the experience was how incredibly easy they made the entire process. From the moment they answered the phone to the super friendly delivery, our expectations were exceeded at every turn. They were very interpretative as to our needs and knew exactly how much we would need for the perfect party. I would trust them with any future event whether big or small. Best of all, their food is absolutely scrumptious, and everyone was delighted. Can’t thank these folks enough for the spectacular job they did in making our party even more fabulous than we imagined.

    The meatball subs are delicious and the service is always friendly. This time we had our dog and dogs get a free meatball! It made this stop that much more fun! Thank you for the yummy food and welcoming atmosphere.

    Delicious meal for the whole family. Serving was more than enough to feed my family of 6 with the large bucket meal.
