We ordered the taco spaghetti. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the sauce and taco toppings were absolutely delicious! Their garlic bread is to die for as well! Very friendly service and a fun new take on fast food. Highly recommend!!!

It is good place.. friendly staff . The spaghetti was well cooked , sauce was good, garlic bread was good. I mean true . It’s not the world ‘best spaghetti ‘ true..but for 20 bucks it’s good quality, good flavor, really good portions for a bucket that feeds 4 people.. they gave us a full loaf of bread with it . This is very filling ... I’m not sure why this place is getting bad reviews .its really good ..

Over all- about what you should expect, decent food, good price, nice staff. Get yourself a bucket, you won't be blown away but it's pasta.. in a bucket. Experience- Staff was awesome and quick. Restaurant was empty when I got there but the order took all of 10 minutes to prepare and I was out the door. Food quality- about what you should expect, pasta was oddly chewy? But it wasn't bad, just a different texture than home made. The meat balls were good, I would love a sub from here. Sauce was good too! Value- about the same as a pizza shop. 25 bucks fed three people, medium bucket and 6 meat balls. I would say that's a win.

Very clean store. Helpful and nice staff. Sauce to noodle ratio is around 50/50. If you like more noodle you could easily add more at home. (Good thing) very tasty for this price point

I wish I had photos to share but the food was so good we already ate it before I could take a picture. Seriously, I don’t know what all these bad reviews are for. I ordered through a food delivery app but chose to pick it up in the store. When I arrived, the man working was so nice and had my order ready for me. The storefront had a nice aesthetic and was clean. We ordered a medium meat sauce spaghetti bucket and a medium chicken alfredo and it was plenty of food for 4 people. The meat sauce to noodle ratio was on point. The alfredo sauce was thick and creamy. The garlic bread was also great, perfectly buttered and complimented the pasta so well. We got 4 meatballs as well, which even my 2 year old ate and loved. For a fast food pasta joint, this is the place to go. I would absolutely come here again. It totally beat going to a restaurant and waiting. We loved eating this at home and it saved me from cooking a huge meal. Super impressed! My only disappointment is that I didn’t get to eat the spaghetti straight from an actual bucket, but I’ll let it slide.

Edit: love this place. Today I got home from picking up my food and the alfredo and marinara that I ordered were missing. Kind of bummed out. Still great food. Loved it! Great meatballs, tasty sauces.

I struggle to understand the negative reviews. My experience was great. Fast, pleasant server, big portion of meat marinara, and reasonable cost. I love the idea of good quality takeout spaghetti.
