Chuck-A-Rama — Restaurant in South Ogden

Title: Chuck a Rama: The Unexpectedly Explosive Buffet Experience!

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there existed a buffet restaurant called Chuck a Rama. It was rumored to be a place where food lovers gathered to fill their plates without end. Naturally, my curiosity got the best of me, and I embarked on a culinary adventure to test the limits of my stomach.

As I entered Chuck a Rama, I was greeted by a friendly hostess who promptly handed me a tray the size of a small table. I couldn't help but wonder if they were expecting an army to storm the buffet line. Equipped with my tray, I joined the queue, mentally preparing myself for the gastronomic odyssey ahead.

Now, Chuck a Rama prided itself on its vast array of seemingly endless options, and boy, did they deliver! There were mountains of savory meats, piles of golden fried goodies, shimmering trays of colorful veggies, and more dessert choices than my sugar-craving heart could handle. It was a sight to behold!

As I piled my plate high with various delicacies, I felt a rush of excitement. A buffet like this was a rare opportunity, a battleground where a foodie could truly test their limits. Oblivious to what awaited me, I started my feast.

Bite after bite, I marveled at the flavors erupting in my mouth. The barbecue chicken was finger-licking good, the mashed potatoes were creamy clouds of joy, and those cheesy broccoli bites were the definition of heaven. However, it seemed my zest for gluttony had a price - an explosive price.

As I ventured deeper into my immense plate, my stomach protested. It was a battle of wills, but I refused to back down. With perseverance, I soldiered on, taking bites, savoring each explosion of flavor while trying to ignore the growing distress in my belly.

Suddenly, as if scripted by some comical deity, a rumble echoed through the restaurant. I looked around, expecting an earthquake or, perhaps, a cow stampede. But to my surprise, it was none other than my own overstuffed tummy demanding immediate relief!

Panicked, I stumbled towards the restrooms, attracting confused glances from my fellow diners. Let's just say the ensuing events involved a classic sitcom-style chase, a few hilariously failed attempts at opening push/pull doors, and an embarrassing moment of locking myself in a supply closet instead.

After a self-inflicted, tumultuous battle, I emerged from the restroom, lighter and wiser. Despite my less-than-refined exit, I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. Chuck a Rama had truly lived up to its reputation as a memorable buffet experience, though not exactly as I had envisioned.

So, if you're seeking a buffet that will challenge both your stomach's capacity and your ability to navigate crowded restrooms, then Chuck a Rama is the place for you. Just remember to pace yourself and hold on tight on the gastronomic rollercoaster ride...

I've eaten at Chuck-a-Rama as long as I can remember...and that's a long time...I have always loved it....but for the last several years one thing has been constant...the declining quality and the rising prices....I remember going to the original location on 400 south in Salt Lake...you could see flames and steam in the kitchen when the doors opened...the food was always beyond amazing....Well the turkey roast has become my favorite over the years...but the last few years it's been consistently under-cooked...tonite was no different but the pot had very little meat left and tons of veggies that could have roasted longer(for flavor they were cooked)...the meat I found was cut much thinner and was very dry...I mentioned it to our server and she said they were understaffed and someone probably hadn't kept the pot stirred....I've never before had it be dry...not ever...it usually gets more tender the longer it's cooked...(i suspect there's a microwave to blame...that "roasted" flavor has been lacking lately)...the assortment was lacking also.. 2 of the hot line spaces had bowls of sauce setting on them...the sausage gravy was so salty it ruined everything it touched...there were 3 or 4 slots of chicken...maybe 8 or 9 bbq legs...mini corn dogs? Shrimp(I'm allergic). 2 or 3 things of scones...some plain...some with sauce...the roast beef and ham on the carving block were well beyond their edible time...only 2 or 3 white rolls..i think we ate them all...the salad bar(made salads) was missing some of my favorites and what was there appeared to have spent most of the day there..and the desserts were just industrial food service offerings...nothing decadent....But the price has skyrocketed...almost $20 a person...I'm afraid I can no longer see the value in Chuck-a-Rama's offering...food quality is down significantly....price have increased astronomically....I know costs are going up....but this is nuts...Sorry it has to end this way....we have celebrated many family...

Waitress was polite and respectful. She was pleasing. She would have respectful recieved a generous tip.however upon eating my custom made salad I discovered a dead fly on my lettuce leaf.I immediately stopped eating the plate., however I had shown my partner. We became grossed Out it was moved off my plate. We called the waitress over. She seemed to be upset and concerned. She told us that a Manager would be informed and would be back to talk us. The whole dinner went by until we saw the same waitress again, right off lunch. We asked her what the problem on the time? Her excuse was let me go get her. When she did come she claims that she b was never told about the dead fly and it happens all the time in the salads 🥗 😒 🤢 After this explanation we were appalled. I wanted to leave. But not after asking for some sort compensation for the inconvenience and stress. The manager who was hesitant only said that she could only do one...instead of the meal which by the way ruined my whole family's dinner. Every one was grossed Out, and I was stressed. I don't know why we were treated in such a way as a paying customer. That restaurant use to be my favorite family restaurant growing up. Not even on my top picks now. Thankfully Chuck a Rama has cameras posted up and can see that what we said happened exactly. With the fly in my salad. Hopefully Chuck a Rama in the future will have more empathy and have a more professional management experience.person, and a more non...
