What? An AYCE Buffet that actually cares about quality? Amazing. Just about everything I ate was very good. I had mash potatoes and beef gravy, battered shrimp, coconut shrimp, salmon, fried chicken, roast beef, roast chicken, ham, scone (with honey butter, yum), roll (with cinnamon hone butter, yum), clam chowder, horchata. All were enjoyable. Well, the roast beef was a bit dry and a tad tough, the salmon was slightly overcooked (as expected) but was acceptable and a nice addition to their menu. The apple crisp was good as was the lava cake and rice pudding. Even the fries were good. I am impressed how good everything was. The service was very nice. They clear your table of dirty dishes and offer to get you refills of drinks. When you pay at the beginning, ask for some cash to tip them. If you forget, you can run your card again and get some cash to leave a tip on the table. They were very pleasant and even when passing you by, they smile. It was a nice restaurant, very comfortable. I had a booth. The tables are nice and conducive to large parties. My favorite AYCE restaurant so far! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

My family was excited to try the new breakfast buffet . We went on a Saturday & got right in . The serving area was clean . We were disappointed when most of the hot food was gone. We asked them for biscuits . They brought them out after we waited 10 mins & they apologized. They were super fresh & good but then they were out of gravy for the biscuits . They would bring out 5 pancakes at a time . Of course those would get taken really fast . They have several items to choose from but the kitchen could not keep up with the demand . Only good thing was everything was fresh because it would get taken so fast . People were standing around waiting for the kitchen to bring out food . Once the food was brought out it was immediately gone . It would be better if they prepared more food at a time . They do have an omelette station but that had a long wait too . They offer Pepsi products & Diet Coke . read more

So yeah we moved here a few years ago and thought this was the silliest name for a buffet and assumed it would be lame. But we were bored one night and decided to try it. Boy were we wrong! The quality of the food was great, the servers friendly. The interior is a bit old school but comforting and clean like your favorite auntie's house. Lots of drink options, not just soda. And a million deserts. Lots of places to sit privately and not be bothered by other people. read more

Looked forward to corned beef and cabbage for St Patrick's Day. Asked if they had it before paying and was told they did. Got over to the carving station and they had run out. At 6:00 at night. Asked for a manager. Fifteen minutes went by and no manager. Asked again and the hostess said, oh he saw you had started eating, by this time my wife was nearly done with her meal, so he didn't bother coming to our table. Not acceptable. Very rude. An apology in the least should have been given. Ruined the meal and most likely won't be back. Would have chosen a different restaurant if we knew they didn't have any. read more

Wow! I honestly don't think I've ever been to a chuck a Rama before, and I don't know why I haven't up until this point. I guess I just always assumed it was just like a Golden Corral (which isn't a bad thing, but just not something I'd go out o my way for). I was sorely mistaken. First off, the interior is extremely nice. It has the feel of a nice restaurant, rather than just a Buffett. The food selection was a little smaller than I'd expected, but the quality made up for it. Everything I tried tasted like something that wouldn't be out of place on a regular restaurant menu. What was honestly the biggest surprise to me was the fact that they have an Icee machine! I don't know what this was so interesting to me, but it was awesome! I'll most definetly be visiting again soon read more

Tasteless Salad Dressings, Horrible empty trays even when just opening. Service was decent and Amience was Absolutely the WORST ......enough to make one leave ASAP with HYPER VERY LOUD music which makes people SHOUT while they eat not speak ....VERY Harsh NOISE POLLUTION. Horrible Manager who would not refund my ticket after only eating half a crappy salad becaause the noise and music drove me OUT. read more

Chuck-A-Rama Buffet - Gluten free item list - Buffets Near Me - Draper, Utah

We love Chucks in Draper mostly for the fresh salads. The other food is pretty good. But I crave the salad the most! The costomer service is great when they aren't slammed. The majority of the time they are super attentive! The price isn't bad on the weekdays. you'll pay a higher price on the weekends but you'll get ham and roast beef and turkey roast that you don't get on the weekdays. However, they do serve them in the evening but that also cost more. The customers range from retired people to families. A lot of workers come in for lunch. In my experience most customers are courteous and clean. read more

It's a buffet, but they had a great variety and the kids loved it. The food was decent. I would go there again it was clean and the food was always refilled. read more

Everything is delicious. The roast was so moist. Everything is tasty. And cheaper then McDonald's

Excellent service, great food, kid friendly. I couldn't ask for a better staff crew. Seriously, I've worked in the restaurant industry and was a catering director. The staff not only met my expectations, they exceeded them. We are looking forward to going back!! read more

I know some may disagree. But I love this place. The service is always nice. The ambiance is relaxing not uncomfortable. And it's a biweekly thing my daughter and I do. The prime rib is great. And I recently learned you can do To Go also. Plenty of options. And they keep it fresh. Check it out. read more

What do you do when everyone one in your family wants something different for dinner? You can cook four separate meals OR you can drive your butts over to a buffet that will satisfy them all! My family and I have been frequent diners at the Draper location and always have a great experience. The variety of food is terrific and is kept hot and fresh. The service is good as well-used plates are cleared quickly and staff is generally friendly. We love that the choice is ours at Chuck A Rama! read more

I've been to many buffets, and this was very good. I'd say it was almost as good at some of the Indian casino buffets. The salad bar was fantastic and the proteins were hot and fresh. I didn't really try anything fried, but it looked great as well. The service stood out as outstanding. I left a $20 tip because I really liked the service. As buffets go, this was very very good!! read more

I can't believe I haven't wrote a review and been here many times over the years. If you don't want to read a menu and just go out and eat, this is a great option. The thing that stands out to me about Chuck A Rama is you won't feel out of place eating here, Senior/Baby, fat/skinny, English/Spanish etc a lot of diversity here. I've been to the Ogden, downtown, Murray, St. George and Draper locations. This location is popular because the service and food is good and the buffet and bathrooms are kept clean. Servers are great. There was one Korean gal server that was here in Draper for years but now shes gone. She was so friendly!! Servers are on top of clearing plates. At Chuck A Rama, I always like acine de peppe salad, kale salad, peaches, green jello. Other options kettle chicken, fiesta soup, fried chicken, scone drenched in butter, ice cream, rice pudding, hot chocolate, lasagna. Their French fries and mashed potatoes are the best tasting. I love that they have blue and red ICEE machine. They taste yummy but I recommend avoiding them during your visit. Drinking ICEEs shrinks my stomach. The point of going to a buffet is to eat a lot read more

Excellent home cooking food no reason to go anywhere else. You get your drink, appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert for one reasonable price. read more

This place is ass. 100 dollars for 5 people and the food was old, nasty and straight up not edible. The rolls were stale and burnt, the soda was watered down, mac and cheese was straight up rubber. the server came up to my party 3 times during the time we were there. For them raising their prices the food did not give read more

Chuck-A-Rama Buffet - only good thing in the restaurant - Buffets Near Me - Draper, Utah

You cannot beat this place for variety. It is a great bargain, and the staff at the Draper store is always friendly. Matter of fact the Draper store is the best from all of the stores that we have tried. From 85 to 8 years old everybody enjoys it. read more

The food is very good. The garbage and cigarette butts right outside of the front door are so nasty! I don't understand why people would be so inconsiderate to leave such a mess. read more

The best home made food! Big salad bar. Great desserts. Your drink is included. In the evening there is a carving station with the best turkey, very moist and flavorful. There is also ham and roast beef. They have tons of sides and fresh fruit. They have a daily thing, Italian, Mexican, Chuck wagon. It is always clean too. read more

We usually go to the Murray branch but stopped going because it was always loud and crowded. The dining experience at the Draper branch was wonderful! Lovely and chill environment and the food was delicious . Our new lunch place for sure! read more

Comfort food at its best. Reasonably priced with good quality and quantity that could match any person's appetite. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rolls are epoch levels as is the roast beef. Fantastic salad bar and you even have drinks and desert. Ideal for families and groups or a couple wanting a good meal for a fair price . read more

Great food and great service every time! We love coming here as we get a variety of foods to choose from. The staff is wonderful and are always happy to help us in anyway. Each day they have a different specialty and my favorite is Thursday, Mexican food! Their tacos are wonderful. Excellent salad bar and dessert bar if you still have room. Our go-to if we can't decide where to have dinner. read more

Stopped mainly for their salad bar, then got some lasagna, manicotti, fruit and delicious chocolate chip cookies. Everything tasted good. Our server was quick to clear dirty dishes and refill drinks. We got right in on a busy Saturday night. We were seated at a comfy booth. They have tables of many different sizes. Meals were $14 for adults. read more

I love this Chuck-A-Rama! The interior is light but not too bright. It is spacious and usually accommodates the clientele, excepting busy lunch times, local holidays, etc. I enjoy their salad and soup bars first. They usually include several salads that I have enjoyed all my life, i.e. "frogs eye, carrot, & green varieties. Then, I love their mashed potatoes with gravy!! I also enjoy the quality of the vegetables that they offer: corn, peas, green beans! Their French Fried potatoes are very good as is their fry sauce. Mexican, oriental, sea food, and others are offered on special days. Very good chicken is available for most meals. Other meats are offered for evening meals or special occasions. They offer very good desserts, ice cream, and drinks! For me, a very special item is that they offer Diet Dr. Pepper! This is definitely a plus. read more

Chuck A Rama has definitely changed things for the better! Every other table is empty throughout the restaurant and everyone keeps socially distant from each other! Every time you go to get something new to eat you have to use hand sanitizer AND get new gloves. After two trips to the buffet, we realized you only need one glove on the hand you serve your food with, the other hand holds your plate!! I LOVE that Kids under 12 need to be supervised with an attending adult! Love the new rule, glad to know the roll, cookie or ice cream I served myself wasn't previously handled by a child- so thank you Chuck A Rama!!! Food was great Chuck A Rama food, hot and plentiful. The only thing we noticed was that the food trays are large and with the smaller amount of people eating the food doesn't change over often and some items dried out a little. Most of the patrons were 60+, there were very few kids under 10! We are totally happy with the changes Chuck A Rama has made to keep patrons safe! As people left, we watched the waitress completely clean, sanitizing tables and chairs and even under the table! We felt 100% safe and the restaurant was cleaner than it's ever been!!! read more

18 dollars a person. Out of a lot of their salad toppings. Food was mediocre. Service was good, I just wasn't very impressed with the food.

ChuckARama is one of my family favorite buffet to go. So far we been at this location about 4 times and we always love it here. Our most favorite is their scones. read more

I went here with the family yesterday, and I've been up all night with food poisoning. And this happened the last time I was there as well and I thought I was just a fluke because my family and I used to go here almost every Sunday. Not anymore. BE CAREFUL!! read more

Great to be back at a buffet. Thanks for coming back strong. Wish the meats were accompanied with juice.

My family and I really like the atmosphere at Chuck-A-Rama! It is a quaint little buffet, with all the selection that you would expect and more. Atmosphere: (7/10) This place has a rustic home style vibe, that matches the food selection. The walls are adorned with different farm-themed items and an assortment of rooster decorations that match the wallpaper. The restaurant itself is nestled in the middle of a bustling business complex, with a variety of different companies and other restaurants vying for business. Because of its location, it's quite the juxtaposition when you walk into the restaurant and step back in time. Sunday's seem to be the some of the busiest days because oF the many families that share Sunday dinner here after church. That is one of the reasons we like it here. I think that the food area could be arranged more efficiently, but it's not too bad nAvigating to your favorite dish. Food/Taste: (8/10) Today the selection seemed pretty good and everything was looking quite appetizing. The food selection always seems to be pretty much the same, but today there was a pretty awesome beef stew that was almost literally melt in your mouth, tender. With that said, I don't know how much the menu varies, but if it does, it's only a few items. The rest of the food was good, but basically what one would expect at a buffet. One of my favorite things is their drink selection. Their horchata is super good and they have a frothy orange drink that reminds me of an orange julius, just not frozen. Overall, the food is pretty good. Experience: (8/10) We always have a pretty good experience here, with the exception of one dependable negative experience. Without fail, the meat station always seems to be manned by someone who looks and acts like they don't want to be there. When the customer asks for some slice of meat, they basically shrug and slice off a sliver of meat and you have to ask for more to get a decent serving. Many times, the meat station isn't even attended to, or, like today, they are chatting with someone and it cause the customer to feel like an inconvenience to request their service. Whew! Now that I got that off my chest, the experience is still an 8 out of 10. The person who took our order was great and that is how it generally has been every time we have gone. The waiter is also always really nice. I know this depends on the day and person, but we have had a pretty predictably good experience every time we have gone. Another positive note, and part of the reason we like to come is the cleanliness. It's always well-kept and it's noticeable that the staff is constantly cleaning, whether it's clearing and cleanness tables or vacuuming around tables. You also see them cleaning around the food area pretty consistently. I know this should be the industry standard, but it's worth mentioning that they are good about it. Price: (9/10) I will be posting a picture of the pricing structure, so I won't mention too much here. I would just like to point out that they do offer a military discount and they are really nice about it. Overall: (8/10) Overall this is a great place, and we will be going again. read more

To say the food is mediocre would be generous. There are great quantities of food, but little quality to speak of. Customer service is also bad. There is no apparent order to how you are seated and the man who controls the seating is especially rude. (And last time there was a very rude server who belittled our party to another table.) I get suckered into eating here every year by an elderly relative (to be fair--he loves it because he can get lots of soft, easy to chew food choices). Every time I hope it will improve, but I think it actually gets worse. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Save your money and get $15 worth of edible and enjoyable food at one of them instead! read more

I love their salad bar and the appearance looks delicious. Then their freshly cooked meats (ham, turkey and beef). And they have different specials everyday! read more

The food was good and service great! Can't wait to come back. I asked for a booth as I am breastfeeding my baby. They put us in a private area. The server was so sweet and nice. I told her we were new to the area and looking for a place to rent and she provided some very helpful suggestions. The Mac and cheese was a hit with the kids! read more

The flavor of the food remains me at my grandmother's house, super delicious. Not much verity of food but good in off to get your hunger satisfied read more

The only thing good today was the chicken. Everything else was bland and hard. The garlic bread is like croutons almost every time I come. The ice changed to the cubed instead of crushed! Whoever made that change should change it right back! The line was quicker than I thought it'd be since it was so busy and there were 7 of us. The waitress and cashier were good, pleasant service and quick with clean up. I literally come to Chucks because the majority of the group decides on it. Other than that, I wouldn't be a regular based on taste alone. read more

Good food and great selection. Love the salad bar variety, fresh fruit, fresh veggies and hot fry bread/scones. I saw a lot of cleaning going on around the buffet bar but also saw customers licking fingers at the table then returning to the bar without using disposable gloves provided. Needless to say, we were constantly sanitizing our own hands after returning from the buffet bar and prior to eating. read more

I want chuck a rama right now. I'm almost drooling for this white people fest of american slop that is so friggin delicious! We went on a Monday which was deemed 'international night' but i don's think fried chicken, carved turkey and roast beef, coconut and regular shrimp are really international. More like homestyle favorites. Hot damn though, i really do want to go back to the FF buffet though. The soups were mad good, excellent salad bar and everything else was as good as we figured for basic buffet. not bad in price either. read more

We can here this time with a wedding party. We were in the banquet room. They did have a sign up in one area stating that it was a private party. But the open doors from the buffet didn't have a sign. So we had people come in and sit with us. We had to have them leave after they had started eating. That wasn't super fun. The food was decent. But honestly there wasn't as much variety as I was expecting. It was taco night so the entire center food serving area was Mexican stuff. It took a lot of coyotes away. But what we did eat was ok. The dessert was just ok. Not great. The apple crisp was delicious but the brownies were dry. And so was the carrot cake. I still love Chuck a Rama and I know I'll be back. I just think they were having an off night. read more
