Chuck-A-Rama is a chain of buffet restaurants based in Salt Lake City, Utah; [1] [2] [3] as of January 2022, the company operates nine restaurants [4] in Utah and two in Idaho. Fare includes American comfort food. Main entrées include meats [3] such as baked and fried chicken, carved turkey, ham, and roast beef, [3] and mashed potatoes and gravy, among others. [5] A salad bar is included with every meal and a rotating variety of soups are provided. [5] [6]
The company's name was devised by Don Moss, and is a portmanteau of the word "chuckwagon" and the term "Scout-O-Rama". [5]
In 2004 Chuck-A-Rama gained national attention when, at its Taylorsville, Utah location, a couple following the Atkins diet were kicked out for trying to go back to the carved roast beef twelve times. [7] The chain stated that, although they are a buffet, they are not an all-you-can-eat restaurant. [7] However, the owners of Chuck-a-rama revised that statement and apologized to the couple. [8]
