When we first came in on a Sunday afternoon around 3, the place was totally empty. Despite that, they said we could only sit at the bar or on the rooftop. I was a little irritated, as it was slightly breezy, but I got over that quick once I tried the food. We had the steak frites, the Thai pork tacos, an old fashioned, and the chocolate decadence for dessert. The steak frites were great- the truffle fries were seasoned with garlic, and served with a great cream sauce. The steak was perfectly cooked rare. Super tender. But the tacos absolutely stole the show. Sweet and spicy with a touch of crunch, and the potato fries were stellar too! The old fashioned really let the whiskey shine, with just a touch of citrus. I think I would try a different dessert though- the decadence was good but didn't quite live up to the tacos. The interior was decorated very cute- mid century modern mixed with plants and some neon signs that said cute things. Our server was excellent- very friendly and on top of it. Overall, I would unquestionably come back next time I am in the area, and suggest you go there too. It's totally worth it. read more

Food is meh. Service is awful. Waitress brought water. No refills. Luckily we got our food but how on Earth I was able to choke down this bland food with nothing to drink!? I'm sure one of the crackheads walking and down main street would have given me better service. And 4 bucks to upgrade to fries!?!? What is going on at this place? Highly recommend do not come here. It's a rip off. Service is awful. Terrible attitude. No service, no tip. read more

For as many times as I've been to Longmont over the years, this is the first time I've been to the roost and I feel like I've kinda missed out! It's so cute and seems like a perfect date night/girls' night place to grab dinner and drinks. I came in for a late lunch with my best friend on a Saturday recently right around Halloween. It wasn't busy at all (we admittedly came at a semi awkward time lol) so we were seated and helped right away. One of the first things I noticed about the place were the decorations and furniture. It was so cute!! I loved the decor and the tables had really nice pillows on the chairs, which was a great touch. The menu has a pretty good variety of different types of food; some more traditional selections - like the cheeseburger I got - and other items that I haven't seen before, like the polenta squares my friend ordered. This place seems like a really popular dinner spot and feels like it'd be perfect for a date or dinner with a few close friends. We were helped quickly, and despite our taking forever to decide what we wanted because we couldn't stop talking, the meals came out quickly and plates were hot and looked great. My friend had been here before and really liked the Buffalo cauliflower, but said she also really enjoyed the polenta. My burger was super tasty too and hit the spot for me lol. It was cooked well and very fresh tasting. Pricing is pretty reasonable, but I'd guess the bill would easily and quickly get high with drinks and whatnot if you're in a group or on a date or whatever. Parking seems like it might get a little crazy during peak busy time, but there is a lot of street and lot parking in the general vicinity (along the main drag) if you're okay with a short walk to the restaurant. Overall good! I'd like to try and get back here to taste some other menu items but enjoyed my time! read more

The Roost has become one of my new favorites in Longmont, Colorado. My wife and I were on our way to a play in Greeley Colorado, and decided to stop at The Roost for dinner beforehand. I'm glad we did because I really enjoyed this place. The decor was nice and food was even better. My wife and I got the steak frites and the Thai tacos. My favorite was the Thai tacos and it's one of the best tacos I've ever had. It had so much flavor and the the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. The steak frites had truffle fries covered in steak and some type of gravy. The steak was so tender and juicy. We also got some sweet potato fries and those were good as well and came with some honey mustard sauce that had the perfect amount of horseradish in it. The service was fast and the waitress was super helpful and talked in detail about her favorite dishes. You know the place is good when the employees get excited about talking about the food they serve. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Longmont. read more

The food was delicious! I got the nacho style tots and was so good! The food came fast and the waiter was very nice. We sat on the roof and it was nice and warm, I loved everything about this restaurant! read more

Ambiance was very calm and relaxing. The service was prompt and wonderful. And the food was spectacular. Went here because Google reviews show it much higher rated than on Yelp, my husband and I went and we agree with the 4.5 star rating that is on Google far more than the lower rating here. We had the Bangin' Cauliflower and Salmon as the entree and both were great tasting and a good shareable size. read more

Very good spot with a wonderful menu. Something for everyone. My party ordered burgers, the Cuban sandwich, salads, and fish and chips. They all loved their selections. The service was prompt and attentive, and the servers and staff are friendly. The atmosphere was lovely with plenty of seating. The sound level was quiet since we were in a tall padded booth in the front of the restaurant. This is the perfect spot to go out with family and friends to enjoy very good food and have conversations you can hear without screaming. There is a parking lot in the rear but hard to find a spot. You can also park on the street. read more

Great place. Located downtown but has free parking in the back. Our server was so sweet when we stopped in for lunch. I had the gyro, which was huge. The dish was more Mediterranean-filled than ordering a standard gyro, but very yummy. gyro but very yummy. My husband enjoyed the poutine fries. I can see this as a date day or night place to check out. read more

Had a great gathering with coworkers at the Roost while visiting Longmont. It's in a great area with other eating establishments nearby but I would definitely recommend trying this one. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but if you get there earlier, you should have not problem. I had the steak frites and it was delicious...had a hard time choosing as the menu had allot of great choices. Our waiter was awesome and was very helpful with the menu. We ate in the back were the building has a few larger doors which added to the cool ambiance of the place. Recommended! read more

Have eaten at the roost twice, both times the food was very good. This time, the waiter, of which I don't remember, his name was over the top one Service highly recommend this restaurant. it's a nice reasonably quiet restaurant to eat at. We don't feel rushed. read more

Back again!!! But they have a new app that is worth a look Hate to keep updating the same restaurant but we literally come here once a week. All the same amazing dishes. - High quality, well presented etc. But the new one is the lemon Burrata appetizer (see pic). A gently lemon highlighted burrata ball sitting on a bed of sweet smased tomato served with a grilled focaccia is now my new favorite (old and a very close #2 is the bangin cauliflower) Any one of those three items would be amazing on their own but together it will wake you up. Frankly I can't figure out the tomato - very gentle flavorings, cold, sweet, not acidic, in a thick sauce. The focaccia is dense and flavorful, thick cut and grilled. Side note - they just got through with a major remodel of the dining room. added another big private table/room and hip chairs and tables to up the ambiance game. Every dish is well presented with some kind of twist that makes you think - dang this is good and better than I ever make at home even when I'm trying to impress guests - Dang it, this review made me hungry - I'm headed there now if anyone wants to join me. read more

We had reservations to celebrate two birthdays down the street and were greeted there by locked doors and no lights. Knowing that The Roost was a block away, we walked down, hoping that they would be open and have room for our group of seven. Shockingly, they did have room, and we were seated immediately in the bar area! Our server was at the side of our table right away and took our drink orders. It was pretty loud in there (not their fault - they were the only restaurant on the street that seemed to be open and were PACKED), but we had a great time catching up while we sipped our spicy Bloody Mary's. I ordered the Chilean Salmon that comes with a saffron cream, orange salsa, pesto farro and roasted cauliflower and was greeted with the largest piece of salmon I've ever received at a restaurant. It was delicately seasoned and flaky, and the citrus salsa and creamy sauce was a perfect complement. The pesto farro was al dente and studded with roasted carrots and peppers, as well as tender kabocha squash and cauliflower. I ended up having to get a to go box to take home another meal's worth of food. We received a complimentary dessert and opted for the gluten free Chocolate Decadence so the entire table could partake since we were all over stuffed and ready to roll out of there. Great service, delicious food and a HUGE thank you to them for being open and willing to take our large group! read more

We had dinner & drinks Sat 8/23/25 at The Roost bar & restaurant in the creative & historic district of Longmont, CO. Big & boisterous place with bar, two dining areas & an outdoor deck in back. We sat at the bar and were immediately acknowledged by the bartender, "PM M"? (no name given). We ordered our first drinks, local Left Hand Milk Stout ($7.50) & Pinot Grigio ($9) while looking over the menu. Dinner drinks were the local Dale's Pale Ale ($5) & another pinot grigio. Dinner was scallop chowder ($8/12) & a Cubano sandwich ($18). I really like a good Cubano and I ordered it because it was made the right way with marinated mojo pork + black forest ham + white cheddar + pickles + garlic mayo + yellow mustard + crisp telera bread. Excellent! Dessert was a refreshing lemon tartlet ($12). Expansive menu with lotsa apps, something for all tastes. Street parking was full on this Saturday evening, but there is an ample public lot in the alley parallel to Main St. Hours: Sun-Thu 11am-9pm, Fri & Sat 11am-10pm. Happy Hour M-F 3-5pm. A good first impression. Thanks again to the friendly & excellent bar staff. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY, USA read more

Amazing! Everything from the friendly service, the atmosphere and the food was to die for! Hey place with a lot of good healthy options

My husband and I have been here four or five times. The new look of furniture and atmosphere is beautiful. Such comfortable chairs, beautiful hanging plants from the ceiling. The food is still delicious as it has been in the past and servers are kind and attentive We went last night (December 10, 2025 )just for a drink each and two desserts. Our server was beyond attentivr, even though it was extremely busy with a large group of business people. She obviously loves her job. The drinks were amazing. Sage tequila with some type of peppers and a coconut delight. Flourless, chocolate cake, and lemon tart were delicious. We ask our server if the whipped cream was from a local source all the food is locally grown read more

My family is visiting Longmont from California and stopped in here by luck when walking down the Main Street in town. My 11 year old grandson loved his bowl of scallop chowder. My daughter had the short rib poutine and shared it with the table- rich and delicious. My son ordered the lamb gyros and thought they were outstanding, with heavily seasoned lamb and fresh veggies. I didn't care for my Cuban sandwich- a giant thick slab of pork on it, while generous, just overtook all the other flavors. If you're after a meat sammie, there's your order! We shared a roasted root vegetable appetizer with chunks of beets, sweet potatoes and other delights in a wonderful chimichurri sauce that we all loved. Very friendly service, quiet atmosphere, very comfortable seating. We got lucky on a random choice of restaurants and were very pleased with everything. read more

The Roost - 10/10 would recommend this restaurant. - Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

This restaurant was advertised as "farm to table" but that's not really the vibe I got. When I think of farm to table, I think of fresh, organic foods, and multiple healthy options to choose from. My husband and I ordered three shareables and I had a side garden salad. The lettuce wraps were unfortunately not good- the meat was very oily and would drip down our arm when we'd try to eat the wraps. The hummus and pita were average. The tuna nachos were awesome but very simple- ahi tuna, jalapeño, and some type of aioli drizzled on top of tortilla chips. This would've been a great hangover food! The garden salad was good and what I expected to receive. Our waitress, Ariel, was very nice and so was the hostess. And the restaurant has ample seating inside with outdoor seating options as well. Overall, I was disappointed with the food. read more

Great gastropub food and a friendly vibe with multiple dining rooms, a bar, a patio, and a rooftop deck so every time I've been here I feel like I'm in a different restaurant, you definitely don't get tired. Whatever smoked tomato sauce they use... i want it on my everything everywhere. They should bottle it :) Great go-to in Longmont for a cute and yummy outing, or happy hour whether you're inside, outside, or on the patio half inside half outside lol read more

Have been in several times now and have always had a wonderful experience. The food is perfectly prepared and the service is friendly and not overbearing. There is ample seating with a variety of different atmosphere depending on where you sit. I prefer the back patio but they also have roof top seating and more lovely spaces inside. read more

I came here with a group of 8 people on a recommendation. We were seated right away and the server was excellent. He was attentive and answered everyone's questions. We started with the banging cauliflower and this was by far the best part of the meal. It was a great way to start. I split the steak frites and short rib platter. Both dishes were extremely disappointing. The steak frites came with a brown butter sauce but that was very misleading. It was more of a plain butter poured on top which ruined the dish. The steak was flavorless and the bacon was candied and overly sweet. You only got 6 small slices of steak. The short rib was not fall apart tender and had many fatty pieces. We were looking forward to both dishes after an amazing appetizer but it fell short. Overall service was great but food was not good. We left a lot uneaten and did not want to take home the leftovers. read more

After an adrenaline-filled skydiving trip, The Roost was the perfect spot to grab a bite! The margarita hit the spot, and we started with the lemon burrata--so flavorful! We also shared the banging cauliflower, which was lightly breaded and tossed in their 'bangin' sauce with scallions and crispy rice noodles. It was definitely my favorite! Can't wait to come back for more! read more

We stopped in on a Sunday evening to take advantage of a coupon we got in the mail. We've been here a few times pre-pandemic, but I think this was first post-pandemic visit. The place wasn't crowded and we were seated immediately at the window and relaxed into the dark wood farmhouse feel of the place. We decided to go off our usual script and try some dishes we hadn't had before. The scallop chowder was rich and earthy; the Coq au Vin was moist and comforting on its bed of garlic mashed potatoes and the bacon added a nice crispy texture. My wife got the short ribs which were melt in your mouth yummy. It you're looking for comfort food, these two dishes provide the cozy feel you just might be looking for! read more

Service and ambiance: great. Not a big fan of the food. Had the Thai lettuce wraps saturated in cilantro - many people hate cilantro (I am one), but no mention of it on the menu. Hubby had vegan curry, also saturated in cilantro. Can't imagine how many dishes have cilantro, but we won't be returning any time soon. read more

Came here for dinner and the restaurant was lively. We didn't make a reservation and even with it so packed we only waited about 15 minutes. The weather was quite hot and we were able to sit inside with ease. When we did get seated, we were served quickly which was great. We got the lamb gyro, which was pretty good and plentiful but the lamb was just a bit dry, and poke nachos, which had a surprising amount of ahi tuna and a good amount of kick which I liked. The drinks were tasty and weren't too badly priced either especially for Buffalo trace compared to other places. Overall an enjoyable dining experience. read more

I ordered take out and the food and prices were both great!! I got the steak frites and I will be going back to order it again dine in.

Fantastic. I would easily go back for this curry. I got to try three meals since we all shared and each was equally delicious. The quality of food and the price matches and for the quality of friendly waiting and attention we got, this place deserves 5/5 hands down. I want to thank them for standing out and putting effort into who and what they are. This modern American food, I assume, with several vegan and vegetarian options should make anyone welcome. My girlfriend and grandmother had already been and said it was delicious and they were not wrong. In our sitting location with the photo I did notice it a tad loud but easily overlooked. read more

Went to the Roost for a little pre-wedding celebration. Had reservations and we sat in the Bourbon room. A bit more private with doors to shut out sone of the noise. We ordered several dishes, cocktails and desserts. Every dish came out looking delicious and plated very nicely. It's a great place for a large group or a nice date night. There is a restaurant dude with tables and a bar area with plenty of seating and a comfortable outside area connected to the bar . It's a favorite of ours and we always have an enjoyable time when we are there. read more

The Roost ranks high in food (quality, quantity, taste) but leaves a bit of room for improvement where service and atmosphere are concerned. We were 5 to our party, 3 of our elders, my boyfriend and me. We asked (in advance) for a table with easy access for a wheelchair. There were tables at the front but instead the hostess sat us towards the back of the bar at a community table (and it was loud). We as guests had to ask diners to make way for the wheelchair and rearrange the bench seating and table to make Dad comfortable. Not one staff member offered to help and when we spoke up about the arrangement/location, we were met with "it's all we have". Mind you there were tables available, closer to the front. Reasonable accommodation is not made for guests so wonder how management feels overall about hiring...... It took quite a bit of time to get our drinks and dinner order. It was not the busy rush hour time....our waitress was slow with our orders, the bar slow with our drinks (including non-alcoholic type) and forget asking for refills as we were not once able to flag down our waitress (until it was time to ante up). The food on the other hand was pretty decent. I had the chicken avocado salad, others in our party ordered burgers and tenders. Cooked to order and served right quick (not by our waitress tho). Parking is also a bear. The lot behind the restaurant is shared with neighboring businesses and is extremely limited. Of the 4 handicap park spots, only 2 could accommodate a wheelchair accessible van (so space was an issue). We ended up doing a drop off and parking down the street. Dare I become a repeat customer? Given this experience and the fact there are other dining options available in the area, I'm more inclined to give them a whirl. read more
