    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.

    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.

    The Main entrance is on the side of the building.

    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!

    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!

    Everything about this restaurant is wonderful. From the food, decor, and service. Would had gone more often but they get very busy during the weekend and nights. We finally tried it out during a weekday lunch and the food was very good.

    Great food at Roost

    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

    Delicious NA beer

    Cute, lively spot in downtown Longmont. Service attentive, comfortable seating. Had some modifications to our dishes that they got right! Wasn't the best food I've ever had but it was pretty good, fairly priced for the portion size. Good variety of options.

    Happy hour begins at 3 pm Good deals on whiskey drinks and appetizers, but the Indoor Patio is Dog friendly. Excellent service from Amanda Bartemder. Personable, efficient, just what I expected! Beautiful store with upstairs balcony seating, but the rest of the joint is just great

    10/10 would recommend this restaurant.
    Lance B.

    Our waitress Emma, the quality of food and cocktails and attention to detail by the manager was exceptional. I can't recommend this place enough.

    So I was shopping in the nearby Walmart, which is the ONLY place I have been able to find CO…read morepostcards. Before I left the parking lot, I decided to do a "brewery near me" search. Imagine my surprise when something hitherto unknown to me popped up, Collision Brewing Company. Wow, gotta go. Great place with unique offerings, I particularly liked the "Oil Skick", a black IPA. Photo attached. But I was impressed by the great service at the bar, and the menu. I'll be uploading some menu pictures in a bit, but what really caught my eye were the pierogis! I regret being in a hurry, as I would have loved to have tried. Next time, and ther will be a Next time.

Collision's offerings looked promising. Dining near the bar was full, so we got a whole room with windows aplenty to ourselves. Our waiter modeled good service. He greeted us quickly, brought waters before I could pick a beer, and quickly returned with my suds and took our order. We strolled down a hallway to the restrooms, passing games in the cool blue light. The bathroom was clean. Urinals are half kegs. I cracked up, then explained them to him. The expansive menu looks surprisingly diverse. I could have had pierogies, birria tacos, chicken fettuccine, PB & J, or one of the selections of burgers and sandwiches. I chose the French Dip on Asiago bread with a cup of green Chile. I could only eat half a sandwich, but knew leftovers would be gone by morning. This was one of the better French Dips I have had in a while. Green Chile? I came here from New Mexico and am not often impressed. This stuff was truly hot and had great flavor. Win win. The kids' steak plate has to be one of the best values I have seen eating out in Colorado. $10.95 w side. It stood out and did not disappoint. One of them was more well-done than medium rare, but stayed tender. Great seasoning. Beer: I l checked ratings, finding their highest-rated brew, GTA, a barrel-aged rye stout that definitely exceeded expectations. I agree with the high ratings. Shout out to our server for letting an adult who wasn't very hungry grab a kids' steak. Shout out to the prices, which would provide value even with lesser food. My sandwich came at a 2019-20 Denver price, at least $5 less than equally good comps in 2025. 4.5 stars round up to five. Recommended.

    First off, this is my second review. The other one was on Google…read more I received a response that what we experienced is "never ok," which I see is how they respond to bad reviews. They gave me an email address to which I sent more particulars, and guess what? No one responded. So apparently they think it's ok to keep allowing their cooks to not cover their heads or wear gloves while scratching their scalps and then preparing food. That's what we saw while dealing with their front clerk. So like others have said here, she isn't pleasant. We ordered our to-go burgers medium with a little pink. She said no one orders burgers that way. And wasn't pleasant about it. Hello! We have ordered burgers that way forever. My husband's came out right, mine was well done. Tasty, but I kept wondering what viruses I might be getting from whatever was on the cook's head. The Brussels sprouts were dripping with excess grease. I lived, but with no real response from the owners, I won't be back.

    I usually love this place. I was trying to order the spicy jalapeño smash and the lady at the front…read morecould not understand that I wanted to sub the burger for a "crispy chicken". I've ordered this countless times with no issue. The lady at the register kept asking if I wanted a single or double chicken. I said, I only want one breaded/crispy chicken. She got kind of rude and kept repeating "single or double". I continued to say just a single. Even held up a finger. I wasn't sure what to do with the interaction. I also specifically said "I don't want grilled" and "thats crispy right"? You never guess what I got... a grilled chicken sandy. Not a big deal.... I'll just go back in and ask them to correct it. Wrong, she argued with me. She started talking over me and was completely rude. Evidently she doesn't know what the word breaded means and tried to correct me on what I need to order. Super rude interaction. Customer service = terrible Food = pretty tasty, great job cooks.

    Went through the drive-thru for this visit. There was only one car in front of us at the time so…read morethe wait was minimal. We had asked for light ice for our root beers. When the drinks were handed to us, it didn't look right. We took the lids off and they did have light ice. I think they have preset fillers for sodas and because of the light ice, the cup was only 2/3 full of soda. We asked them to fill the cups to the top, as they should be. There was no issue with doing this and soon we had our full sodas, along with our meal and were on our way. The burgers come in a foil lined pouch so they stay hot. That is a step up from other fast food chains that have paper wrappings for their sandwiches. I got tots and my husband got fries. Both were hot and crispy. We asked for the spicy fry sauce and they gave us each a packet. Good food as always, just keep an eye if you ask for light ice in your drink.

    So Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers tries to be like a Culver's/In&Out but I think in trying…read moreto do both that as a concept it just sort of fails. Freddy's is no where near as good as In&Out. I got their lettuce wrap burger and it was wild they gave me like an entire head of lettuce instead of just the normal 2 pieces. It was waaaaaay too much lettuce! I happen to be a big fan of Culver's and think that Culvers does a better job and the food is higher quality at Culver's. For what Freddy's is though - this was a good location. The teenage guy at the drive thru window taking our order was friendly, helpful and got all of our food correct. This location has a drive thru - which is clutch when you have kids. Overall I didn't really enjoy our food but that was more to be said about Freddy's as a chain than this particular location. In the future I'll just go to Culver's or now they have In&Out in Denver now!
