just wow. walked in and was instantly greeted by such a friendly guy (not sure if it was the owner or just a staff member) I mentioned it was my first time trying the place (he threw in some free cookies for me!!) and trust me… it will not be the last. I usually never leave reviews on google but this place was just amazing. As a college student a couple hours away from home the food was just like a warm hug and the kindness of the staff made me feel welcome and cared for. Pasta Buckets will definitely now be my go - to restaurant if i’m ever craving some real, genuine made food but made quick! This place was way too empty for the service, quality and, portion size!! THIS PLACE SHOULD HAVE A LINE OUT THE DOOR!!

When my wife and I went searching for a caterer for our wedding we came upon Pasta Buckets as an option that served the type of fare we were hoping for. Once we sat down with the owner, Brandon, for our taste testing, we learned that this place was more than just an ‘option’ - It was the easiest decision of our wedding. The food is fantastic. It really seems like Brandon has a lot of passion for what he puts on a plate, or if you're at the restaurant, in a bucket. Not only was the food exceptional.. working with Brandon from start to finish was wonderful. He made the process of catering a wedding easy and something we never had to worry about. On the day of the event, Brandon and his family showed up and went above and beyond to make sure that our event felt very special. They were the

Buckets of pasta!!! The portions are large and the foot was pretty good. We purchased the small spaghetti with meat sauce, Caesar salad, and received garlic bread. My daughter and I are the spaghetti and Caesar salad and the photo shows our leftovers. I also only hate 1/2 of my garlic bread. My husband ate all of his personal sized buffalo Mac and cheese and said it was pretty good. It is a bit basic but that means it will appeal to most people. I would for sure come again and try more options.

I finally got around to visiting this new place, and it did not disappoint! Pasta Buckets is a small but inviting take out place, and they are doing it the right way! They have a private dining room for events, and they do catering, but they do not have a dine in seating area, so plan to bring the food home. I had the single size penne with the house blush sauce(house red/house alfredo), with a Caesar salad and garlic bread. I added grilled chicken and 1 meatball. It was a ton of food! The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the house blush sauce was well balanced. The meatball was juicy and flavorful. The chicken was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The salad was so fresh and crisp and came with an excellent but mild Caesar dressing. The garlic bread has a great level of crunch to it. The

Gluten free options!!!! Really good food!! Reasonable prices! More than just spaghetti 🍝! The meatballs are a meal in itself! Everything was sooo good! We even had leftovers! We pay more at fast food restaurants and get way less food. Our meal came with cookies, salad, cheese bread and meatballs! All for $27. amazing!! My husband sautéed up mushrooms and peppers to add to his, I liked mine exactly how it came. They are located in the old famous Dave's on the target side of the cross roads mall. Worth a try!!!!!
