History

Don Moss opened the first Chuck-A-Rama restaurant in September 7, 1966, in the former O.P. Skaggs building in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company's name was devised by Don Moss and is a portmanteau of the word "chuckwagon" and the term "Scout-O-Rama".
In 2004, Chuck-A-Rama gained national attention when, at its Taylorsville, Utah location, a couple following the Atkins diet were made to leave without refunds after attempting to go back to the carved roast beef twelve times. The chain stated that, although they are a buffet, they are not an all-you-can-eat restaurant.
