Dinner from spaghetti shack
Dee P.

Not a big deal. Was hoping for some good spaghetti and meat sauce . I ordered extra garlic bread. The one with the meal wasn't delivered and the one piece ordered was hard and the sauce was with very little meat. I'll keep trying with other chi

This place is located on NW corner of Rural and Guadalupe. It is small and mainly for takeout. It has a fairly small menu (see photo). The food and garlic bread are very good and it is excellent carb loading prior to cross country or track meets. Friendly people and they also have sweet treat rice krispy bars which are hard to find. Good spaghetti option.

I came on Meatball Monday! It is BOGO Meatballs w/purchase of any size Bowl. I ordered the Small Shack! There was enough for me to eat for 2 days! The small is a very good sized serving! The restaurant is mostly for Takeout, but there's a counter area with a few stools for those who choose to eat in .

Wanted to order something a little different for a night. Honestly not bad for a fast food spaghetti spot. We had the mid shack to share for 2 people which actually gave us 2 meals each. It's a nice heavy bucket filled with pasta, but the sauce to pasta ratio is lacking. There was sauce on the bottom of the bucket and on the top, but the spaghetti was all dry in the middle. It comes with 2 pieces of garlic bread. The bread was yummy but honestly you can't go wrong with buttered bread. Personally I couldn't taste any garlic flavor at all though, ehh a bit disappointing. We also paired our bucket with 4 meatballs. I thought they were good, but a bit too dense and heavy for my wife. I would get them again though, they did the trick. Overall 4 stars from me, it was a good meal.

Mid Shack Spaghetti, stirred, with 4 meatballs

Spaghetti by the bucket; great concept! Bf and I shared the mid-shack (1 lb!!) which feeds 2 for $11.95. Meatballs are a la carte; we added 4 for $1.50/each. We honestly could have done 2 or 3 meatballs; the meatballs are 2oz (think golf ball size) each! This brought our total to $17.95, pre-tax and pre-tip. Not bad considering it came with garlic bread. Ordering a bowl from Noodle Co. or any other restaurant would easily be $11.95+ alone! It was good, simple spaghetti that'll satisfy your craving!

Sometimes when I am looking for something to eat, all I want is a short simple menu to order from. I grew up on spaghetti and meatballs in my family. The Spaghetti Shack is all about spaghetti and serves it in a bucket to go. It doesn't get any simpler than that. You have three bucket sizes to choose from (which includes garlic bread) - Small Shack (1/2 lb. - feeds 1), Mid Shack (1 lb. - feeds 2), and Full Shack (1 1/2 lb. - feeds 4-5). Meatballs are extra and are $1.50 each. Trust me, you want the meatballs. They are so good! The customer service here is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. Spaghetti Shack has a few weekday specials that includes a buy one, get one free meatball on Mondays. Also on their menu is a meatball sub and a couple dessert items. If you love pasta and not in the mood to cook or do dishes, make your life easy and order a bucket of pasta to go!

Garlic bread

We were curious about this little eatery that opened up since their claim to fame is spaghetti in a bucket. I suppose we have fried chicken and popcorn in a bucket so sure, why not pasta. After seeing they had "The Big Game" deal going on this Sunday I figured that was the perfect time to try! Side note: Tbd if competitor By The Bucket offered a Superb Owl deal. The deal included their "full shack" for $10 and meatballs for $1 each. The full shack is 1.5 lbs of spaghetti with sauce, and a half loaf of garlic bread. We opted for 3 meatballs which were placed in the bucket on top of the pasta. Everything was very securely wrapped and we took this mighty meal to a local park for a pasta picnic! Overall it was a carbtastic meal. The spaghetti was plentiful as was the full flavored sauce. The meatballs were well seasoned, very soft and tender. It was a good deal since we got $4.50 off the pasta and $.50 off each meatball. The garlic bread was good. The bread was crusty with a soft inner crumb. It was well buttered. I'd love to see them expand in a more Fazoli's-like fashion offering other pastabilities such as ziti or lasagna but for now spaghetti in a bucket is a quick, cheap and tasty meal if you don't feel like cooking!

The Spaghetti Shack is the place to go to for a quick spaghetti fix. My husband and I absolutely loved the Meatball Sub, I've gotta say. The service is quick and friendly! This place has such a cute feel to it as well. It is picnic themed! Prices are super reasonable too. Highly recommend getting a Small Shack if you're the only one needing a spaghetti fix. It comes with two meatballs included, but you can add another one or two for around $1.50 more per Meatball. Not too shabby!!

I'm so glad this opened near our house!! When life is busy (kids in sports, parents who work and coach and are active in other things) sometimes you need an easy meal! Is it hard to make pasta and sauce? - no, but sometimes it's nice to not create more dishes or take the time when you can grab and go. The sauce is flavorful, the bread is soft and buttery and the meatballs have the perfect amount of flavor! I'm sure this will be a go to spot for us on those busy weeknights when we are pushed for time and don't want to eat at 10pm! The staff were super friendly and helpful! My wife has an allergy and they let her try a sample and even offered to make a fresh batch of sauce if needed. Fortunately the sauce works for her as is but they were so willing to go above and beyond!

Had to feed a crowd of four adults and two children and this was an easy crowd pleaser. Ordered two separate mid-shacks spaghetti marinara with sausage and penne in pink sauce with some a la carte meatballs. No one went hungry, everyone was satisfied, and there was even a little leftover for lunch the next day. A great alternative if you're bored with pizza and you're looking to feed a crowd. Online ordering was seamless and they had the meal packed up and ready to go in 15 minutes.

We had bacon dates to start. These were tasty but not quite like we imagined. They were sweet and salty which was great. The blue cheese stuffing didn't quite jump out like we expected. For wine, my wife likes sweet wine. She tried the Riesling first, then the Moscato. Moscato was hands down her winner, it was sweeter. For me, I tried the Murphy Goode red blend and I enjoyed it a lot. Good balance, complexity, and smoothness. For the main course my wife had the Pasta Bolognese. It came with rigatoni noodles. The sauce was nice and thick and coated the noodles really well. It had a big robust flavor but wasn't overpowering. I had the Chicken Saltimbocca. The sauce was a bit on the sweet side for my preference due to what tasted like a bit of balsamic, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was well cooked and tender. We tried a cannoli for dessert. The thing was huge! Shell was thick and crunchy. Filling was moderately sweet with a subtle brightness to it (like a touch of lemon). Ends were dipped in chopped pistachio.

Some bookmarks coming directly from other Yelpers reviews, Yelp lists of the best places, or places I've stumbled on via Social Media posts. Parking was easy, and we were seated immediately. What We Ordered: - Antipasto Salad: the pinwheels of meat and cheese were a nice touch! My friend enjoyed this salad and loved that it included a hard-boiled egg. - Bruschetta Pomodoro: Overall, this is decent but I think it could benefit from a balsamic glaze on top. They do have balsamic vinegar on the table if you want to use it. - Chicken Marsala: I missed in the menu this comes with pasta marinara, or I would ask to substitute as I find it perplexing to mingle the Marsala sauce with marinara. I wish it was served over noodles, so you enjoy the Marsala sauce on it. Or even served with vegetables. - Masi 'Bonacosta' Wine: a great red if you are looking for a nice wine to go with your meal! Our server Sebastian was very friendly, and we appreciated the wine suggestion as it was a great glass. We also loved taking in the decor while we were waiting for our starters and mains. Very cute and rustic Italian charm. I would return, but either modify the Chicken Marsala or get a different dish.

SOCIETY! What a beautiful little hidden gem in Tempe! And WOW, what a wonderful experience!…read more First, a little tip on finding this place. Society is located on the second floor of the plaza, and you might actually walk right past the entrance! If the line for Tempe Improv gets long, it can partially block the double doors. Just look carefully, and you'll find your way in! Once you walk inside, it's like stepping into a completely different world! The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous! Romantic, trendy, a little glamorous, and definitely POPPIN'! Between the beautiful chandeliers, cascading flowers, colorful lighting, and stylish décor, I couldn't stop looking around. Whoever designed this place did a fantastic job! We had reservations, and I would HIGHLY recommend making them. This place can fill up quickly, and I can certainly understand why! Now, let's talk about the FOOD! Several people had recommended that we try the Whipped Feta appetizer, so of course we had to order it. OH MY GOODNESS! This was hands down one of the most delicious appetizers I've had in a LONG time! The whipped feta was creamy, with this wonderful honey combination in the middle that brought everything together beautifully. Paired with the bread, it was absolutely fantastic! I'm not kidding when I say I could've ordered that appetizer and made an entire meal out of it! LOL! If you visit Society, PLEASE try the whipped feta! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, which came with their spinach-infused pasta. And WOW, that was delicious too! The pasta was wonderful, the sauce was flavorful, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Definitely not your ordinary Alfredo! My friend ordered the Penne alla Vodka, which looked delicious, although I didn't get a chance to sample it. Guess that gives me another reason to return! And can we talk about the SERVICE?! Absolutely wonderful! Our server was attentive, friendly, and always checking on us to make sure everything was taken care of. We never felt forgotten, and everything flowed so nicely throughout our dinner. Then came a little surprise! They found out we were celebrating my birthday and brought out a birthday dessert! How sweet was that?! I certainly wasn't expecting it, and it made an already wonderful evening even more special. Between the amazing atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent customer service, Society really impressed me. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! HANDS DOWN! This is a wonderful place for a date night, birthday celebration, or just an evening out with friends. It's beautiful, lively, and has the food and service to back it up. And you better believe I'm ordering that whipped feta again! In fact, I might not even share it next time! LOL! Thank you, Society, for such a memorable birthday dining experience!

I come here pretty regularly and it honestly never disappoints! I've never had a bad meal here. The…read moreambiance is sooo cute, very girly and definitely a photo worthy spot.
