Chuck-A-Rama is a chain of buffet restaurants based in Salt Lake City, Utah with ten restaurants in Utah and two in Idaho. Many of the items are what one would consider "home cooking" types of recipes rather than fine dining offerings. The restaurant therefore has an appeal and clientele different from a fine-dining establishment, where the emphasis is on the entertainment value of the dining experience. People frequently eat at Chuck-A-Rama as families and often as extended family groups. Also, some older couples or singles living alone find it easier and more satisfying to eat at Chuck-A-Rama daily rather than cook at home.
Service in the restaurant is "self-serve". After paying a fixed price at the door, one enters the dining area, selects a table and then chooses food from a number of buffet islands. One may obtain a new plate at any time and choose additional items. The table help will bring beverages or other food items, and will clear the table of empty plates. It is customary to offer a small tip for this service, but this is not required.
