Chuck-A-Rama is a chain of buffet restaurants based in Salt Lake City, Utah; as of January 2022, the company operates nine restaurants in Utah and two in Idaho. Fare includes American comfort food. Main entrées include meats such as baked and fried chicken, carved turkey, ham, and roast beef, and mashed potatoes and gravy, among others. A salad bar is included with every meal and a rotating variety of soups are provided.

Name

The company's name was devised by Don Moss, and is a portmanteau of the word "chuckwagon" and the term "Scout-O-Rama".

Controversy

In 2004 Chuck-A-Rama gained national attention when, at its Taylorsville, Utah location, a couple following the Atkins diet were made to leave without refunds after attempting to go back to the carved roast beef twelve times. The chain stated that, although they are a buffet, they are not an all-you-can-eat restaurant.
