    Rouser Breakfast
    Roger C.

    Stayed at the Asher Adams October 2025, and Rouser is located conveniently at the lobby level right by the entrance. Very large restaurant with plenty of seating. Good for small and larger groups. SERVICE: Very friendly service from host stand to table. Our servers throughout our stay were very nice and attentive. More importantly, they remembered us and our preferences so we did not have to repeat everything each day. nice job!! FOOD: Fabulous! Everything was very fresh and flavorful. The plating was artful. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We tried several options, but our favorites were the Rouser Breakfast easy to mix and match your favorites. And, since I am carb conscious (Keto) - it's very easy to order sides to suit your needs. Great experience in Utah. This place is worth the try!!

    First time here and it was a wonderful experience! The ambiance is lovely, warm and cozy. We started with the Parker house rolls which were delicious with their homemade ash butter w/ honey. We easily could have filled up on them! Then we had the gem salad which was fresh and flavorful! For mains, we enjoyed the NY Steak and Fries and the Pollo a La Brassa. Both were delicious! The rotisserie chicken especially had amazing flavor and crispiness on the outside. Service was friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back.

    After two visits, I struggle with Rouser as a place I want to like much more than I actually do. I keep coming back to the core question of: What are they doing there that motivates me to drive a half hour and hit a valet for a meal? I'm not sure what the signature dish is. Up til now, the most memorable menu item are there sweet and savory rolls in a cast iron. The bean cassoulet was boring. The seafood tower was fine but not particularly unique. Enjoyed the scallops with just enough char. The service and the team there go about their work with a wonderful attitude and a passion for what they are doing. Bravo. And I I appreciate the storytelling angle of the place and the way it pays heritage to the coal powered locomotives that once inhabited the train station. But I'm not sure that's enough to drive me to going back once again.

    Great place! Really cool vibe, excellent service, fairly priced. The rolls were amazing, we got 2 servings of those. In the pics were the salmon, short ribs, cheesecake. I celebrated my birthday here and will absolute go back.

    Honestly I wish there was a 3.5 star option! Went here with a big group for a dinner and had a mixed experience. Server was great. Some wines they had on menu they didn't actually have, so had to give substitutes. Some appetizers were great, like the beef carpaccio and the rolls were amazing. However the ribs weren't as good. Similarly, our group felt the entrees overall fell a bit short. Several people had the steak and fries, rating the dish as just okay. I personally had the short ribs and was disappointed when it came, definitely didn't 'fall off the bone' like you'd expect when ordering a short rib, it felt more like a steak I had to cut with my knife. Overall good experience but wouldn't jump to return next time I'm in SLC.

    This place is BEAUTIFUL! It's very big with plenty of seating. We came here on a business dinner and all got sat in a great spot. Our server was SO NICE. She was very attentive and helpful. She had some help from other servers and again all of them were very nice, great staff! Overall the food was mid range for me. I didn't really like any of the entrees we ordered as they were semi flavorless (except for the scallops they were very good). HOWEVER the appetizers were SO GOOD! (especially the rolls!!!) I would go back to this restaurant to specifically eat the appetizers and get some of those rolls again, so so good. So overall a great spot and I would recommend the rolls and drinks but the entrees were not my favorite and I wouldn't order any again if I went back.

    The location and ambiance of this place are beautiful. Set in the old train station and a throw back with distinctive charm and character. Very much a differentiated setting. Service was outstanding. From the greeter hostess, to our server to the countless staff who stopped by to refill drinks/clear plates/check-in, including the manager - they were all attentive, responsive, and helpful. While it was my first time eating here, my friend is a regular. Food wise, nearly everything was wonderfully delicious and beautifully presented.....of course we had to start with the Parker house rolls served with their special honey and seasoned butter. i agree that this is a must order...then we both got the heirloom tomato's - I've had a lot of heirloom tomato salads in my life and this was one of the absolute best ever from the combination of tastes and textures. portion size was also perfect....for entrees, my friend had the NY steak and fries which were excellent...i had the pollo a la brassa; the chicken was tender, flavorful and delicious. The fried eggs were a perfect complement to the fried rice underneath and the kimchi was a pleasant contrast (not spicy at all) and accompaniment to the dish. portion size was large!....the one menu item that was weird were the peas and carrots - while it was beautifully presented, and certainly accurately described (it's a cold dish), as much as I like carrots, peas, Greek yogurt, etc, it just didn't hit for me. There was plenty of food without it as we were too full to try any of their desserts. Would recommend this place for sure. Lots of other things I'd want to try on the menu. Given the price points, it does seem positioned as a special occasion/outing type of place vs. all the time.

    Honestly this place doesn't get the credit it deserves. Everything is made over the charcoal grill and it was perfect. Flavor wise on point. Portioned perfectly. Our service was excellent and friendly. Very knowledgeable in wine and menus. I would recommend if you're in town.

    Rouser offers a highly appealing experience, driven by its fancy and vibrant atmosphere and genuinely friendly and attentive service. The drinks were a significant highlight and the best part of the visit, perfectly matching the lively setting.

    The food was really good! The restaurant is super pretty and aesthetic! The staff was really nice and helpful! The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is because the parking was a bit confusing and they only did valet, and then the food took a little over 45 min to come out and some items were a little cold, but it was still so good!!! Will definitely be coming back now knowing where to park!!

    Ash cat
    Austin C.

    Started with the Ash Cat and the Brass Buttons. Ash Cat was good, the Brass Buttons not so much -- it was overwhelmingly jalapeño flavored. The rolls are awesome, full stop. Great balance and the honey they are served with compliments them so well! On to the entrees. The crispy duck was great, although the portion was pretty small. It was served with cheesy corn that was great, but I felt it was a weird pairing. It also came with a good honey topped biscuit which fit the theme better. Our other entree was the short rib. It's high quality but definitely had a "gamier" taste to it that my wife wasn't thrilled about. The sides here were even more weird -- an undercooked potato and undercooked rice served with a spicy mole. The flavor pairings just don't make sense to me. On the side we went with the Mac which fully displays why cooking on charcoal is such a great experience, amazing flavor and well made. The broccolini could have used a bit less direct heat to cook through a bit more for how well done it looked. Overall I would come back but I definitely question the way that entrees were paired with sides. Service was great, and the ambiance was also pretty cool with open views of the kitchen and bar from the dining area.

On a Sunday morning at 11, there was no wait. I was surprised by this, but it looks like they may get busier in the afternoon. They don't take reservations, but you can get on the Yelp waitlist. The inside is cute with a decent amount of tables, and they have outdoor seating as well. Both the hostess and server were nice. For drinks, they have a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic options. They don't have Diet Coke, so I went for a raspberry limeade. When in Rome ya know! I'm soooo glad I ended up getting this because it was delicious. The perfect combo of sour and sweet. Also, it has chunks of raspberry in it, which I loved. I prefer the actual fruit to a syrup, so I really enjoyed this. My friend got the honeydew cucumber mint limeade and let me try it. It was really good and refreshing!! My husband got a coffee and it was good. Both mine and my friends husband also enjoyed a mimosa!! For food, we started with the mini biscuits and hash bombs to start. Their biscuits, of course, are amazing. The jam that comes with them was great. The hash bombs were good but not my favorite. I didn't love the quinoa and wanted them to have cheese or something to make them a little more flavorful on their own. They were a great vessel for dipping in the really good limeade sauce that came with them. Everyone liked their main course. My breakfast tacos were delicious!! They came with chips and salsa. The salsa is a limeade and mint salsa. I didn't love it, but it was fun to try. My husband got the biscuit bar with gravy and said they were the best biscuits and gravy he's ever had. My friends got the hoss and garden hash and liked them both. This was a little bit of a weird experience cause halfway through our meal the server let us know that another patron at the restaurant had paid for everyone there. I had never had this happen before, and it was such a pleasant surprise! This place is a 5/5 regardless, but it was def an added bonus. I'm excited to come back and try something else cause the menu has so many standouts!!

It's the kind of place where groups of women are gathered around mimosas, celebrating, laughing, and just enjoying life. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating a fun, elevated environment.

Food was just okay for the price. Service was very slow and we were really quite neglected compared to other tables.

The food was decent, just not outstanding by any means and the place is beautiful and reasonably comfortable. I feel like this places focuses too hard on pretentious "fine dining" details while completely neglecting the basics. Prompt service and food that tastes good.
