The food was ok, more salad selections than actual main course faire. The biggest reason for the low score was the absolute horrible service. It was our first time warring here. We were never told if we sat ourselves or not. Then the service staff would cut in front of you to fill there own beverages at the beverage machine. We were there near closing and they vacuumed under our table as we sat and ate our dinner until we told them not to. We never even met our waitress until half way through our meal. Most of the waitstaff has we were there the entire time hung out in the dinning room laughing and joking the whole time. All I can say is wow, I'm not sure how the general manager has a job with that type of service going on.

We just went here today which was their Chinese food Tuesday. The food was pretty standard stuff for a buffet. The chinese food selection was somewhat limited and consisted of noodles, fried rice, white rice, sweet & sour chicken, and breaded prawns. Overall, there's a decent selection and the endless fountain drinks, deserts, and other foods make this a decent choice for a buffet.

mmm....very tasty! I love chuck wagon night, but really it doesn't matter what day it is, Chuck-A-Rama is always good. Went there for lunch last week and left completely satisfied. The food was good, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was as expected. I can't wait to go back!

I've always said that I hated buffets and groan every time I am dragged into one. But then something happens when I am there; I totally enjoy myself. So here I am admitting that I really do like buffets despite the horror stories and the gross idea of stuffing your body past the point of full. With that said, this was the first time I agreed to go to chuck-a-Rama and I was happy I did! Nicely decorated and clean facility. Large selection on beverages. I know they have special night like Mexican food Wednesdays, but I am not sure what our night was, but it was good! I super enjoyed the ham, funeral potatoes, and monkey bread. Yum! When we left there was a huge pile of throw up in the parking lot...not the best way to end the meal, but now I know why the word "chuck" is in the name!

I have pretty low food safety expectations from buffets in general, but the entire time we were there the cart holding salad bar items sat out. In addition, as the woman emptied out the containers, she set the dirty ones with dirty towels DIRECTLY ONTOP OF THE NEW ONES! The only reason I'm giving two is because the server was very nice.

I was surprised when I came here the first time at how good the food was. I typically do not like buffets because I want my food made for me. I don't enjoy the crowds of,people wandering around filling their plates of food, and any time someone sneezes I cringe at the thought of contamination. I will only come here when we are bringing the kids out to eat because they enjoy it so much! They love the variety of foods, drinks, and desserts. I have been pleased with the chicken, ham, roast, and salads. And I really like the hot fresh scones with honey butter.

Typical buffet. Food was Ehhh. Nothing to die for. BUT let me tell you, the place was packed. I do love the fact that they have an Icee machine. Other than that, nothing to write home to mama about.

Chuck-A-Rama is about as middle-of-the-road as you can get. They serve a little of everything and do it reasonably well. The salad bar is always nicely stocked and the kids love their dessert bar. The theme nights (where their featured entrees change according to the day of the week) are generally good, but if you don't like Oriental Tuesday (I didn't think any of their Asian food was particularly great) there's still plenty of other stuff to fill you up. Overall, not fantastic, but you could do worse.

Good food, constantly stocked, clean and good atmosphere. Great location right off the freeway. Only thing I noticed that was a bit different and I understand this could be just the person cleaning up but he didn't offer to fill up our drinks nor took our dirty dishes away as fast as the other Chuck A Rama's I've been to. There was 5 of us at our table and so that's 5 plates sitting there while we're eating our next round.

As buffet fare goes, this one is good. The food was fresh and tasted good. The only down side was that most of the meat options were chicken only.

Ah the only Buffet I will go to. I know buffets are not considered a glamorous place to eat but sometimes it's a good change from the norm, especially when dining with large groups. They have a good selection, great quality in buffet quality standards and it's just one of those place that you can eat as little or as much as you want and have a good variety of selections. The only thing that I think they could work on is communicating their Theme of the day (Mexican, Southern Food, Fish, etc) before you pay and their dessert section has never been really appealing. Other than that, grab a fresh roll, some honey butter and enjoy.
