Cheapest time to eat at Chuck-A-Rama
The lowest adult price is the weekend breakfast at $15.50. On weekdays, lunch is the best deal at $16.75, which is $2.20 less than Monday to Thursday dinner. Saturday lunch at $17.25 is $2.25 cheaper than Saturday dinner.
Sunday works differently. The dinner buffet starts at 11 AM and costs $19.50, so there is no lower lunch price. If you want a Sunday discount, arrive before 11 AM for breakfast, which saves $4.00 per adult compared with the Sunday dinner price.

Chuck-A-Rama weekend breakfast menu
Breakfast runs Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 11 AM. The chain’s own social media says it is served at all locations except Logan, while the official prices page marks breakfast as available at select locations. Call ahead to be sure.
The breakfast buffet features a made-to-order omelet station, scratch-made biscuits and gravy, bacon and pancakes. Biscuits are baked in house, and you choose honey or gravy on top. The adult price is $15.50, the senior price is $13.50 and kids pay $1.00 per year of age.
Chuck-A-Rama salad bar, bakery and desserts
The salad bar is the feature many guests mention first. Chuck-A-Rama describes it as an always-fresh assortment of fixings and toppings, and homemade salads sit alongside it. Rolls come hot out of the oven all day, with a choice of wheat or white.
Dessert is part of the buffet price. Expect cake slices, cookies, puddings and an ice cream bar. Restaurants also run seasonal items, and one Idaho location was described by diners as serving churro ice cream.
Chuck-A-Rama drinks
Your drink is included with every buffet. The official menu lists soft drinks and notes that selections vary by location. Chuck-A-Rama’s Idaho Falls page also mentions dirty sodas, a popular regional drink style.
Diners at the Ammon location have also reported lemonade, slushies, horchata, hot chocolate and coffee. Drink lineups change by restaurant, so treat this as a guide rather than a guarantee.
Chuck-A-Rama a la carte and takeout prices
You can buy certain items on their own. Third-party tracking of the Bountiful delivery menu in July 2026 shows the prices below. Delivery menus often cost more than in-store prices, and the official site does not publish a printable a la carte list, so treat these as estimates.

Chuck-A-Rama history and background
Don Moss opened the first Chuck-A-Rama in Salt Lake City in September 1966, and the Moss family still owns the company. The chain has operated for more than 60 years and now has 11 restaurants. It is known for home-style cooking, a large salad bar and its deep-fried scones.
