    Spaghetti Time!
    Miguel G.

    My wife and I were looking for something easy and different and saw "By The Bucket" we were instantly intrigued and had to try it! The food is warm, always fresh and absolutely amazing for 20.00 my wife and I have dinner and leftovers. The service is amazing and the owners are always fun to joke and laugh with. It's a small 2-3 person operation and they work hard, support this local business the ambiance is nice and there are a couple places to sit and eat if interested. We are huge fans and order here 1-3 times a month whether it's in person or delivered!

    This is a great place if you have a group to feed. Great for family of 4-6 people! I suggest ordering then picking up!

I love that they change their menu daily, it's handwritten and the details are posted on their Instagram page if you want to take a look before you arrive. Everything is made fresh to order! The day we had gone in, they had a few sandwich and pasta options available to choose from. My husband got the spicy Italian sausage ziti pasta dish and I ordered the chicken parm sandwich. The sandwich came out first; I really liked the marinara sauce on it. It was a bit difficult to eat but exactly what I was expecting and wanting. The pasta took some time to come out, but that was fine. The sauce was like a pesto vodka sauce, very rich & filling, and also tasty. We were both only able to eat half of each dish since they were both large dishes. I believe they only serve pasta dishes on certain days, so if they have them on the menu, definitely consider ordering one of those. They seem to have sandwiches everyday. It's a pretty small place with a few tables & some bar type seating. It gets pretty busy around lunch time, so plan accordingly. We'll be back again to try other items!

Manager Gabe was attentive,…read moreChef Leo is a gem with his food creations and kindness visiting tables and Ashlee was a great waitress. We started with the Octopus and Calamari (fried squid). Both were made to perfection. Great flavor and so tender. A perfect start to the dinner. We had the Caprese and Caesar Salad next. Both had solid flavors, but the Caesar was our favorite. What a treat. Exactly what I'm looking for in a Caesar salad. So good! The pesto on the Caprese was house made and so tasty. I want to try a pesto dish next time. My wife had the Sacchetti Porcini with truffle and it was light and perfectly balanced flavor. The pillows melted in your mouth. Will definitely have again. The Lobster Ravioli had a well balanced limoncello flavor and not too creamy. Cool striped pasta. Perfect for those not super hungry but wanting a unique dish that is sure to please. Steak Nicola was was cooked to perfection and had a suburb combination of black truffle, aus jus and prosciutto cotto to make it a memorable dish. I'm still craving it the day after. The cannelloni for dessert was perfectly Italian with awesome flavors. A perfectly compliment to an amazing dinner. This is a gem is Chandler!!!

    CRUST... I mean, with a name like that, the crust had better be good, right?! Well, I'm happy to…read morereport they absolutely understand what's up -- and they even offer a gluten-free crust that is seriously next level! We were lucky enough to be seated with Kailey, who also happens to be GF, which made the whole ordering experience so easy and fun. It's always such a treat when someone gets it and can help guide you through the menu! To start, we shared the bacon-wrapped shrimp as an appetizer (I skipped the bread, but my husband happily took care of that part ). The shrimp were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor -- such a yummy way to kick things off! For my main, I ordered Nicky's Burrata Pizza with the GF crust and holy smokes... this pizza was incredible! It had the perfect little kick of spice, the burrata was dreamy, and the crust? PHENOMENAL. Like truly -- you would never guess it was gluten-free. Total pizza bliss! And because we clearly have zero self-control around good pizza, we were way too full to tackle dessert there... so we took the GF Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte home to enjoy later. Let me just say... WOW. Ooey, gooey, rich, chocolatey perfection. And once again, you'd never know it was GF! All in all, this place was a huge win for the gluten-free crowd. Amazing food, great service, and a crust that absolutely lives up to the name!

    We made a 6 PM indoor reservation by phone, and the hostess who took it was very kind and…read moreprofessional, which made us look forward to returning. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to that first impression. We were seated outside despite reserving inside, and after dealing with several flies around our food, we had to request multiple times before finally be moved indoors - carrying most plates ourselves. Once inside, service felt disorganized. Salads arrived while appetizer plates were still on the table, and several dishes came out cold. Calamari was okay, garlic knots okay. I'd skip the bacon wrapped shrimp. My short rib was extremely tough and cold, so I sent it back. My house salad was not dressed properly and scarce of veg. My son's Caesar salad arrived without chicken, and my other son's pizza also came out cold and in the shape of a pizza peel. Not sure if this is meant to be creative but it does cut down on quality of pizza and taste. Also costs the establishment less. The manager offered a slice of pizza - we accepted. It arrived much later and went uneaten, due to it being a slice of focaccia with melted cheese on top and 2 slices of pepperoni. yet we were initially charged $10 for it (it was removed when we asked). Our server was kind and apologetic throughout, but overall there seemed to be little coordination between staff and kitchen, and no manager checked in despite multiple issues.

We've been here numerous times, and not once have we had a bad experience. From the hosts to the servers, bartenders, and management--everyone is consistently welcoming, attentive, and professional. It's the kind of place that makes you feel taken care of without being over the top. One thing I really appreciate is how well they handle all types of dining. Whether you're stopping in for a quick slice at the counter, sitting down for a full meal, or grabbing something to go, they always have a wide variety of fresh slices ready. There's never a shortage of options, which makes it easy to try something new--or stick with your favorites. Lately, I've been loving the chicken Caesar slice and the chicken carbonara slice--both packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. I had my eye on their taco slice this time, but ended up going with my go-to: the Chicken Francese. I always add artichokes and capers and have it served over spinach, and it's phenomenal every single time. It's one of those dishes you just don't mess with. We started the table with calamari, garlic knots, and arancini--everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly what you want from classic Italian starters. My son ordered the antipasto salad with added chicken, which was a great portion (especially for an active teen) and full of fresh ingredients. We also grabbed a couple of slices, including pepperoni--because honestly, why mess with perfection? It's always solid. Sal's is just one of those places you can count on. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere every time. It's definitely in our regular rotation--and for good reason.
