    ows a sign for chuck - a - rama
    Jasmin H.

    It's a big buffet restaurant that's clean, family oriented, nicely organized and decorated, and great for families or big groups of friends. I love the color scheme and the decorations that made the place feel homey. The serving staff are friendly, polite, well trained in keeping the food trays filled up and the tables free of used plates/utensils. Their salad bar is top notched and so is their bakery and desserts sections. I'm not a big fan of their meat section. However, you get what you pay for. It's not a high end buffet so didn't expect the best cuts. They got a delicious sautéed mushroom to go with the roast beef and there's also gravy, cranberry sauce, and other sauces and stuffing. Everything else we had tasted good and it was nice to experience eating at Chuck Arama. It's in the Boise Spectrum which is a shopping complex so parking isn't a problem.

    I love Chuck-O-Rama, it's a family owned Buffet with a few locations in the north west and the food is always fresh and good quality. The Chuck -O-Rama in Boise is always providing a great salad bar, homemade fried chicken with many sides and a carving station with turkey, roast, beef and ham. I got a little bit of everything including the salad, bar and items from the desert station and the food quality was very good. The service is still great with multiple attendants, constantly cleaning the tables and clearing dishes. The location is becoming a bit worn, and would be better if the location had a bit of a remodel.

    to say it plainly, the food is VERY mediocre. i understand it's probably catered to an older crowd, but i feel like they could up their food. on my plate the mac and cheese was really watery, the mashed potatoes are boxed & the "stuffing" is just bread and gravy. the sweets are what's giving it a 3 stars from me. just be warned that it's not the best! i paid $31 for two people on a tuesday afternoon.

    We've been coming here over 20 years and tonight was horrible! They advertised tonight being a bbq theme. They served corn dogs and chicken strips. Was not worth the 48.00 fir dinner. The bbq beans were dry as was the stuffing. The potato with ham dish was so dry the ham wouldn't cut with my fork. We will not eat here again!

    Our first 4 plates!

    Listen, this isn't fine dining, but there is plenty of warm/chilled, fresh and tasty food to be had, without waiting to order or have the food prepared for you. There are many choices to enjoy and even though all may not be to your liking, the majority of items are pleasing to most people. Cons; I couldn't find regular butter for the bread/corn, but also I didn't ask, so my bad. Seafood was way overcooked and not due to sitting out too long, it came out of the kitchen that way. A bit small dining room and congested food area. Maybe a little bit too loud inside, but that's simply a sign that they are busy and customers like the place. Pros; Great friendly table service, will bring drinks to you, clean up used plates and answer any questions with a Boise smile. Great variety of options and don't forget the delicious soups and fresh carved meat station. Food is replenished often. Good convenient location off Overland. For a family style buffet restaurant, it is of slightly higher caliber than most of its competition. Yes, we will return when we are famished and need a quick bite.

    Pros - Great staff! From cashier to service staff to kitchen staff, all were friendly and…read moreefficient. We came early and location was clean and well maintained. We were never rushed and refills were automatic. You may enjoy breakfast and lunch items if you are still seated at the turnover. Should be similar lunch to dinner. Nice they offer different speciality items daily. No doggie bags, obviously for a buffet, but feel free to grab a bag of fresh cotton candy! . Meh - Location is convenient with adequate parking. Food was correct temperatures, cleanly presented, slightly under seasoned, but nothing outstanding in flavor. Note; they offer taco bar, salad bar & full dessert bar at breakfast. No manager seen, but no need either. . Cons - Dining area outdated. Definitely needs a new decor. Silverware and plates are also low quality. They charge for coffee & ice tea, but milk & juices are free. Seems petty. No lemon offered with ice tea. Yes, they have lemon, but after receiving the ice tea from the staff, you have to get the lemon yourself. Odd, because for coffee, they bring the creamer and sugar to the table. My used/empty plate was removed with my silverware and although clean plates were provided, I had to ask for replacement silverware, by finding my server elsewhere in the dining room. I was disappointed at the lack of variety for fresh fruit offered. . Verdict - Better than I had expected, pricier than anticipated, but they do offer various discounts. There is room for improvements, but I would feel comfortable returning. Remember, even though it is self-service, the service staff still do a lot for you and thus deserve to be tipped.

    I was very favorably impressed. Most of the food was very good. The hot food was kept hot. I…read moreespecially liked the pot roast. It was delicious & the meat was so tender that I actually went back for 2nds - which I never do with meat. My husband had a steak custom cooked for him. That was a big surprise for a buffet. The service was very good, with the table attendant kept the empty plates cleared away, brought us clean plates and refilled our drinks as necessary without having to be asked. The personnel were all so friendly & welcoming.

    Great buffet style restaurant with helpful servers, good food and a ton of space…read more I just went here with my wife and her family because they all used to meet up there for regular family dinners. There's a huge selection of American style "Chinese" food or more traditional dishes served on the menu. The buffet is $13 IIRC and a very good value. For some reason, the garlic green beans stand out as my favorite. Fried rice, lo mein noodles, BBQ pork, orange chicken, egg drop soup (spicy and regular) salad, fruit, and desserts. It's good, it's cheap and it's comfortable. The ONLY negative feedback I have stems from something that really wasn't even their fault but did piss me off enough to finally say something. Half way through our meal this guy walks in staring at his phone and then asking for a pickup. He's a DoorDash/UberEats driver. The server politely tells him the order isn't ready and this old crusty ass sweat pants and NASCAR jacket jerk starts losing it about the order not being ready. I can hear him from the table and he's just a complete jackass. I keep staring over there hoping someone will come to her rescue as this dude keeps fuming away. Now, it's not really my business but I'm a customer who is paying full price and having my atmosphere/attention ruined by this jerk. DD/UE, for those of you who don't know, take a cut from the restaurant meaning if you were eating in your tab would be 20-30% more to the actual restaurant rather than DD/UE. So, not only is this asshole not eating there, he's choosing to make it a worse atmosphere for everyone the restaurant is making more money off of. Solution: Tell this jackass to kick rocks. Do not allow these drivers to EVER speak to your staff like that. Report him and tell him he's 86'd from coming to year restaurant ever again. Your staff does not deserve to be berated by anyone. EVER. Full stop.
