Lehi, the Choice is Yours

Utah Restaurant Opens 12th Location

LEHI, Utah - Chuck-A-Rama has opened its doors at its newest location in Lehi. The restaurant is the 12th for the chain throughout Utah and Idaho.

“We are grateful to open our doors in Lehi,” said Duane Moss, CEO of Chuck-A-Rama. “We had been looking in the area for probably ten years, but couldn’t find the right piece of land. We were excited when we found this property right on Lehi’s historic Main Street.”



Chuck-A-Rama is one of Utah’s first family-owned restaurant chains and was founded in 1966 by Don Moss, his father-in-law, Alva Greene, and brother-in-law, Wayne Chamberlain. Today, 48 years later, the chain is run by the children of Don Moss and a team of employees who have been with the organization for 20, 30, and even 40-plus years.

Chuck-A-Rama boasts hundreds of choices of appetizers, entrées, desserts, and drinks prepared daily. Many of the recipe’s have come directly or indirectly from employees.

“Our recipes are traditional hand-me-down recipes from the mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, of people inside and outside of our organization,” Moss said. “Our food is a representation of Utah’s pioneer heritage. Each dish has a story behind it. I can remember the German immigrant who perfected our potato salad and carrot salad. Mike Johanson, our president, has vivid memories from his childhood of his grandmother preparing rice pudding. We prepare that same rice pudding daily.”

The Lehi restaurant is one of only two locations with a life-size chuckwagon on display. The Lehi chuckwagon was built by restoring an 1864 John Deere covered wagon and then adding all of the components which chuckwagon inventor Charles Goodnight used when he created the first chuckwagon in 1866.

“We are so excited to have Chuck-A-Rama in Lehi,” said Mayor Bert Wilson of Lehi City. "Besides being a beautiful building inside and out, the food is great and everyone can enjoy the variety. I personally welcome them along with our citizens [of Lehi] to a great and long-lasting relationship with good food and hungry customers.”

The Lehi Chuck-A-Rama is located at 1050 East Main Street in Lehi off the Lehi Main Street exit.
