Food and service are always good. The variety is not as broad as many buffets, but the quality is good.

While this location has improved since the last time I visited, my most recent visit was only okay. The service is always wonderful--they clear empty plates quickly and are always friendly. The ambiance is decent with tables to accommodate parties of any size. Usually, the food is always hot. During this most recent visit, some of the food was lukewarm, which was concerning. read more

Came hungry, left humbled. The salad bar was a 10/10 masterpiece - poppyseed dressing sent me to church. From there, it was a mixed bag: of comforting soups, sad pizza, criminally bland mac and cheese, and a pasta salad worthy of country club gossip. But then came the roll. That warm, fluffy roll with apple cinnamon butter? Life-changing Dessert had its ups and downs, but those strudel bites and angel food cake carried me across the buffet finish line. Final score: 8.5/10. Chuck-A-Rama is unpredictable, unhinged, and somehow still worth it. Wear stretchy pants and in Skip the mac. read more

Food is okay. Service is great. A good place for a casual American meal with affordable price.

I was verbally assaulted by a drunk customer which happened to be the waitresses dad and management said they wouldn't get involved and didn't care. And the food has gone really downhill. Ive seen Lots of customers complaining lately. read more

I can't think of the last time I ate here. Used to come with either my grandparents or my dad. Fun nostalgic childhood memories!! Came tonight for Mardi Gras indulgence!! I pretty much tried a little of all my old favorites! The highlights were: Salad with 1000 Island dressing and beets, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac and cheese, ham fried rice and pepperoni pizza!! Dessert highlights: Rice pudding, bread pudding, multi color mini marshmallows and hot chocolate!! Thanks for the delicious stroll down memory lane!! I've wanted to do this for a while!! read more

Pleasantly surprised. This place was much better than the reviews. Sorely was our server and she was so kind and hard working. She brought us drinks, checked on us multiple times, cleared our plates, offered refills, and was also replenishing the food on the buffet tables. All the staff was very nice and friendly. The beef carving station was moist and tender. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy and so flavorful without being greasy. Everything was delicious except the mac n cheese and frog eye salad but it might just be me. Every dessert I tried was really good (carrot cake, German choc cake, rice pudding, bread pudding) but the peach cobbler was just ok. Soups were good but a bit salty. Corn bread was great. I would come again. read more

Chuck's is my go to American buffet in Utah. Went last Friday service on point John awesome. Food was meh. I love the scones butter and jam.

I went to the SLC 400S Chuck-A-Rama for Thanksgiving this year, being it was just going to be my wife and I as my children were with other family and friends this year. The two of us ate for around $50 which was much less expensive than buying and cooking all the Thanksgiving food from the grocery store. The wait around 2:00PM was 30 minutes. The food was quite good, definitely not gourmet but better than most cafeteria-style restaurants or grocery store delis! The service was great- they sat us quickly in a more remote corner, as we requested, and made sure our drinks stayed full. The food offered included roasted ham and turkey carved at the bar, fresh-made cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, or just fancy green beans if you prefer, turkey with stuffing, as well as a lot of the usual Chuck-A-Rama food including rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, lots of boiled/steamed vegetable options, the salad bar, and of course the desert bar, with pumpkin pie for the season. Out of everything I sampled, I'd skip only the "sweet potato" (actually yam) casserole. I just can't eat that with pineapple and marachino cherries in it! They had roasted pumpkin or butter squash with a little butter and brown sugar which was much more appetizing, anyway. Some of the desserts were a bit sweet for my tastes, but the carrot cake was delicious and the bread pudding wasn't bad. One note, the potatoes au gratin (sorry, I can't bring myself to call them "funeral potatoes"- food dish names are supposed to tell you the principal elements in them and sound delicious, not remind you of death) were amazing. Don't pass them up or you'll be missing something! There was also lots of kid-pleasing foods including the aforementioned rolls, cheesy, creamy macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, fresh fruit, jello, and cookies to name a few I know that my youngest grandson loves. There were several folks filling aluminum roasting pans to take food home or to loved ones. Overall, they made us feel welcome, filled us up, and sent us merrily on our way! Not bad at all for a Thanksgiving afternoon. read more

Overall impression: I had such a great time here. It made my life so good Average price: $14.99/dinner for adults $12.74/dinner for seniors 60+ Kids are on a sliding scale Ambience It was just great. Clean. Kinda loud with lots of kids running around which is basically what I don't mind when coming to this kind of place with my own kids. Buffet area was actually very well organized Service Outstanding! Our section had one guy (John) who was just working super hard and basically for no tips. He cleared our table and plates almost as soon as we finished with them. Always asked if we needed drinks. Felt like a fine dining experience. Food Hey I thought it was great. Lots of options, fast turnover and many things were delicious. Sure it might not be top end but I was happy with it. Value Totally worth it. read more

Honestly, the food here is outstanding, best food at any buffet outside of Vegas, period. The service on the other hand does not exist, which isn't truly a big deal for a buffet restaurant, but it would have been nice to have had a server that checked in once in a while. The only glaring negative was the green mint ice cream being out on St. Patrick's day. My wife and kid were looking forward to it more than anything. read more

You are getting what you pay for. Decent buffet and a decent price. When we are hungry and want to get a hot meal we always go to Chuck-A-Rama. It's not the lobster and crab place but it's better than a fast burger place. read more

Always a favorite lots of comfort food and joyous goodies. This location had much better service than most. Patient server didn't mind we stayed for hours! We tipped her well. read more

Great fresh salad bar. This has become my secret to finding a great salad bar at a reasonable price. The food choices are fresh and tasty. In this economy I've found that other local places serving salad choices, Zupas, Sizzler, etc are an equal amount of money with fewer options. Chuck a Rama is under $20 (plus tip, ALWAYS TIP A BUFFETT SERVER. THEY WORK HARD.) Sizzler will run more than $25 for JUST THE SALAD BAR. Go to Chuck. It's the better option. read more

St George Chuck-A-Rama is one of the best in the state. They have the best servers and they usually always have all the entrees you love. One thing I've noticed lately is all the restaurants I've been to have cooked their roast beef well-done. So those of us that like a little pink in our meet will be disappointed if you are really looking forward for that. Rolls A+ Grilled Chicken A Fried Chicken A Salad Bar A++ Mac & Cheese B- Desert Bar B+ Free Drinks and Blue Icees!!! I always look forward for my visits and never leave hungry. read more

Gave me diarrhea. Not to mention the two times I went into the bathroom there was someone else having diarrhea as well. Not worth it.

I came in w some friends, the lady at the front (Beatriz) so mean, she wanted me to pay before I even see the food, obviously it was my first time at chuckarama so I didn't know wtf was going on but she was so rude and only let one of us go in to see the menu, like lady I'm trying to see the food before I pay. She really tried to sell the food to us w an attitude, she thought that the place was a luxury and invite only restaurant by not letting us even see the food before paying. My friend thought the food looked fine but I was already so FED UP w Beatriz that I left read more

Chuck-A-Rama - Beatriz (not pictured) above but she was wearing the same outfit - Buffets Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Mid at best. Decent food and service but it's clearly an all you can eat buffet where it's flavorless and overly heavy

Horrifying!! My friends and I came here. They got the worst food poisoning of their lives- I have no clue how I somehow miraculously avoided it. But there is something seriously wrong with this place. Also, in the bathroom, there was a giant pool of vomit and a literal HAND PRINT of vomit smeared all over the wall. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! read more

We had a great lunch here. I've always thought of Chuck a Rama as a dinner place because i always eat way too k. But this time I just didn't overt eat. Shocker. But I sure could have. It was really delicious today. I had 2 scones with whipped honey butter in addition to all of my food. This are my favorite thing here! And there was 3 or 4 different kinds of chicken today. Strange but I'm not complaining. It was really clean and the staff was all very pleasant and helpful. Definitely a repeat restaurant. read more

This establishment was not forthcoming with doubling the prices for Thanksgiving!!! Only after after many attempts to call did I reach someone who stated that they raised their prices due to their operating costs. Note that I also searched online MANY MANY TIMES to find them posting the same daily prices also for Thanksgiving!!! These peoples are dishonest and are scalpers! read more

The food was delicious. The staff was busy because it was crowded. There was a big crowd from a funeral. some people were rushed but they were fast and mostly friendly. I'm not from SLC and this was my first time at Chuck A Rama. I would pick this place over Golden Corral and Old Country Buffet any day. Food was seasoned and delicious and came out fast. The parking lot is huge and can accommodate a big crowd. read more

This place is great ! The food is very fresh. Very family friendly and clean. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed it very much. We had been shopping for many hours and was nice to get hot food fast. There is even an icee machine. Great little treat for very tired kiddos--plus, Kids 3 and under are free ! That's very generous for a restaurant these days. Thank you. read more

Went to Chuckarama with a young man who helped me do some work. Got there early and of course I had my service dog with me with me. The hostess, (Hispanic girl), told me I couldn't bring my service dog in the restaurant. I explained that he was in fact my service dog and has been in Chuckarama previously at different locations. She said they only allow service animals. I said he is a service animal. She asked why doesn't he have a vest and I told her it isn't a requirement. She then asked for certification papers. I told her its not required either and asking for such violates the ADA rules of what you can ask for and what you can't. She said we have a sign on the door stating what is permissible. I walked outside and read the sticker and it said they only allow service animals that comply with ADA rules. I walked back in and said that's great because my dog follows all those guidelines. She then said she had to talk to her manager. I waited 15 minutes for her to say the manager did not care and my dog would not be allowed. She suggested I put my dog in the car while we dined. It was already 93 degrees outside. I would never leave any animal in a hot car. The manager was a coward and refused to talk face to face. We left and went to an IHOP were not a single question was asked. Their comments were all positive and they treated us all with respect. Needless to say Chuckarama lost my business today and in the future. I hope others who have service animals will also boycott this restaurant and take their animals to a more respectful diner. read more

Honestly really enjoyed my experience here! The food selection is great and we even got here at 8:11 and everything was still very stocked. Drink selection is amazing. Hot chocolate, icees, and all other drinks. Really loved. Will come back with my son! read more

Came in for Sunday Dinner with my wife. The buffet was picked over and not replenished throughout our visit. We were not warned when paying that they were limited on food. At the carving station the ham, beef, and turkey, were carved down to a thin hard shingle-like puck and stayed that way for the duration of our visit. Many other hot items were picked over and had been sitting for hours drying out. The salad bar was our meal and the deserts were also gone except for some bread pudding in which the spoon handle was lying in the pudding which was a no go. We used to love this location but the quality has gone downhill with each visit. I'd rather enjoy a mess haul meal than repeat this experience. read more

Before COVID, my experience with Chuck-A-Rama was that it was a convenient buffet. Don't know what to make of it now.

Whenever I'm in Utah I will eat here. Their are several locations located throughout Utah and I've had a great experience at everyone I've eaten at! Food is like home cooking and desserts are the best!! read more

I've come to this chuck a Rama for years and never had a problem until today. I went to eat dinner here last night and after eating a salad I immediately felt extremely sick and had to rush home to throw up. I still do not feel great and had to miss work. I called the location to speak with the manager to get a refund or some type of compensation and he said "there's nothing we can do"...didn't seem to care at all about my situation or my concern.How are you guys not going to try to help a loyal customer especially after getting me sick because of your food? Never bringing my friends or family to this place again. read more

The smallest most non edible selection of food I've ever come across. Dirty, dingy, couldn't eat much of anything. Up-Chuck-A-Rama Wouldn't come back for free read more

Unbeatable value considering the price of everything is going sky high. Great selection and friendly servers. I dine here at least a couple of times a week, never disappointed. The salad bar is the best this side of Las Vegas, the pork roast and fried shrimp are to die for, Mexican food day is also excellent. read more

I love this food, variety for everyone. It always delivers with the pickiest kids, I eat with my family here at least 2-3 times every month.

Very simple. Not very big, but good enough size on a slow night. Not much variety from the normal corn bread, spaghetti, scones, fries, Mac & cheese, etc. Cornbread was pretty tasteless and pretty thick, cakey, instead of crumbly. Chicken was good. Carrots were tasteless as well. Overall, the food was just average. Good for a quick in and out experience, but I wouldn't come here with a large party to stay a while or anything. read more

You know that saying people say, "home away from home"? This is that place for me. Like an extension of the kitchen/dining room or wherever you consume home cooked food, even microwaved TV dinners lol My go-to stack always begins with a handful (use the tongs and then measure handful with own hand lol) of spinach, scoop of tortilla strips/chips, radish, cucumbers drowned in that cilantro dressing that tastes like green ranch lol After that I throw on a two piece of baked chicken and call it a plate. In the past I would've skipped the salad bar all together and threw on a two piece fried chicken, handful of French fries, sprinkled some cheese and smothered in chicken gravy lol I like that other saying, "dance like no one is watching" but change the word dance to eat. I always eat like no one is watching cuz why are you watching lol Rice Krispies are either too chewy and not enough crunchy so I always take a couple and take a couple bites out of each. I'm that guy. Surry. K bye read more

Great food, clean. Wonderful staff. The chicken fried steak was amazing, the broccoli salad is always great

CHUCK-A-RAMA more like mold-a-Rama! They have mold on the underside of their pizzas. I immediately saw it and asked for my money back and went to the restroom to hurl my sins into the toilet. Do not come here. Been here 4-5 times until I saw that. Now I can only imagine what else is rotten. Thanks for the memories chuck. No more rama for me. SLC sucks. read more

Passing through on our way home to California. The food was okay, kids enjoyed the variety of entrees. We happened to get there around 5:00pm and it wasn't that busy, but soon after the tables all around us started filling up and it got crowded. If you are Covid cautious they did have gloves and hand sanitizers on the wall. I didn't see any employees wearing masks or gloves. read more

Went in the afternoon on the wknd and was surprised how clean and fast the service was for a downtown location. Its about a 10 minute walk from the train very accessible!

Chuck-A-Rama - Buffets Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I love Chuck a Rama and I don't care who knows! From the fried chicken to the hot scones, I'm a fan. I know the Chuck gets a bad rap but I've always left satisfied and full. I prefer the Monday menu with chicken fried steak and funeral potatoes among other things. The salad bar is also good. Lots of choices and dressings. Desert is probably my least favorite. I usually just get a bowl of ice cream. Dinner is a bit more money but they have the carved meat station and fried shrimp. read more
