By the Bucket — Restaurant in Payson

Following the hours listed in Google Maps I tried to visit on a Sunday recently. Well there was a sign on the door that says they're closed and there's a comment from the owner on here listing out the newest hours of operation.

Well I can deal with that but I figured that other customers deserved this proper information so I posted these hours which vary significantly day to day as a suggested edit.

Per the info now presented, the hours were verified by phone call (my own edit was not confirmed, oddly) but nothing was actually changed at all to line up with that comment. I can't fault somebody for running on reduced hours yet my time is valuable too.

≠====== I just downgraded my review to a single star, not that it will matter. I had always wanted to visit the original location first. The misposting of business hours probably cost me that opportunity when I was in town here the previous two weekends.

The business has permanently closed. The hours have been removed from the doors and all that remains is evidence that the Sunday info wasn't ever even correct. I had once bought a Groupon for a Peoria location that proved to be impossible to use. At this point I think I've had enough of a bad taste to strike this whole chain...

WOW 🤩 I went in because I was buying dinner for two families. Because I’m helping out a friend who’s having surgery today. Then I’m getting one for our family. I had read at how good that this place was. These people were not kidding!!! This place is great!!! The food was AMAZING, the Price for the food is OUTSTANDING, the owner well he was so AWESOME. I had to ask him if I could please have some spaghetti on the side without sauce because I cannot have tomato sauce because of the acidic in the sauce and my allergies. So he said that’s not a problem at all I will definitely do that but how about I put the garlic butter on the spaghetti noodles for you. I’m like WoW he is really going out of his way to help me out.

Our dinner was so DELICIOUS 😋 that my entire family had a smile on their face.

Thank you...

😃🌟💯‼️‼️‼️. 20 STARS out of 5, I would give but can’t!!! I know my SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS, grew up with family trying to improve my Mom’s PERFECTION, and YOU hit the ball out of the park, the nail on the head … LOL Great friendly, speedy service as well!! NEWEST, BIGGEST FAN of By the Bucket! I’ve been wanting to try the spaghetti more than a few months now, and last night we got the large packet, w four meatballs. I was in heaven, I never thought anyone could ever come close to my Mother’s spaghetti, and meatballs and her home-made sauce. By the Bucket tastes ‘EXACTLY like my MOM’s. I’ll be a regular from here on! I will tell all my family and friends in Cottonwood and surrounding area! We will support BY THE BUCKET here in Cottonwood … LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, INGENIUS IDEA, DELIZIOSO 💯...
