By The Bucket - Pasta And Salads To-Go

Taste good. Clean place. Nice concept. I did however think the noodles could be cooked juuuuust a little bit longer. Other than that, I will give this place another try with my kids and husband soon.

We tried their pink sauce pasta bowl and a meatball sub, and both were absolutely fantastic. The pasta was perfectly cooked and coated in a rich, creamy pink sauce that had just the right balance of savory goodness. The meatball sub was equally impressive, with juicy, flavorful meatballs nestled in a soft, perfectly toasted roll, topped with just the right amount of melted cheese. Not only was the taste exceptional, but the value for the money was outstanding. The portions were generous, and each dish was packed with high-quality ingredients. If you’re looking for delicious, satisfying meals that won’t break the bank, By the Bucket is the place to go. Highly recommend for anyone craving top-notch pasta and subs!

We had a great experience getting our bucket of noodles to go. We ended up getting meatballs and sausage, and they were all delicious. We got the spicy marinara sauce and it was good...not too spicy! Super easy and had leftovers as well!

After driving by this place countless times, I finally stopped in. The spaghetti was fantastic, as was the proprietor Patrick. I had the spicy marinara spaghetti with garlic bread and couldn't have been happier. Highly, highly recommend. Best spaghetti I've had in forever.

Mom-and-pop shop that serves pasta and salad literally in paper buckets. The noodle options are cavatappi, penne, and spaghetti, and there are numerous sauce options. The cavatappi was cooked slightly over-al dente, but the marinara was excellent — the spicy marinara is a home run. The pasta bowl sizes are called small, medium, and family, which translate to big, giant, and humongous because the family is 24 ounces. Garlic bread comes with each pasta order, and it's made to order, and it's crispy, buttery, and garlicky. The salads — also made to order — come in the medium bucket. The mac and cheese (cooked to order) is also flavorful. Meat options are sausage, meatballs, and chicken. The paper buckets are tightly sealed by a plastic lid, and I'm confident that transporting the food would not result in a spill. The food is prepared by Patrick, one of the owners, and patrons can sit and wait and converse with him, as we did when we dropped by. He said his goal is to make feeding families more affordable for the South Denver area. They have a free miniature arcade set up, as well, for those who want to pass the time while waiting. It's the original three Mortal Kombats and Pac-Man as of November 2024. There is no dine-in option here; it's strictly order to go. The shop is connected to the Great Harvest shopping center — just have to swing around the corner to the south.

Becky and Patrick are just the ABSOLUTE best! They are so thorough, kind, so easy to work with and make the BEST food for a gathering! This was our 2nd catering event with them and could not be happier! Thank you both for making the day that much easier for us!

I’m so sad to see this place close. Always loved all of their pasta and even took friends here although it’s a half an hour drive for me. I hope the employees are doing well and I’ll always remember this place!

By the Bucket catered my husband and I's anniversary party. The service was impeccable and everyone RAVED about the food! My father-in-law, Mr. Frank wanted sends a special thank you to Becky for everything she and her staff did for us that day! You all made it all the more special. Thank you!
