Situated at 2 S 400 W in downtown Salt Lake City, Rouser is a distinctive dining establishment that seamlessly blends historical charm with modern culinary innovation. Located within the historic 1909 Union Pacific Depot, now the Asher Adams Hotel, Rouser pays homage to its roots with a charcoal-fired open kitchen reminiscent of coal-powered locomotives. The restaurant offers a warm, inviting atmosphere where guests can savor bold flavors and engage in memorable conversations.

Rouser’s menu showcases a commitment to locally sourced ingredients and inventive dishes. Highlights include the Josper Signature Seafood Tower, featuring oysters, lobster tail, scallops, and more; the 12oz UT 47 Gold New York steak with black garlic adobo and bone marrow chimichurri; and the heritage chicken served with ají verde and linguica fried rice. Vegetarian options like the bean cassoulet and charred broccolini cater to diverse palates.

For an immersive culinary experience, Rouser offers the “Josper Experience,” a chef’s counter dining event held three times weekly. Guests enjoy a four-course meal prepared using the Josper charcoal oven, with dishes such as hamachi with yuzu oil, karaage fried chicken, and Josper ramen. This intimate setting allows diners to witness the artistry behind each dish.
