The Coop by Roosters — Restaurant in Layton

10 Nov 22 tonight started out great however it ended on a bad note and I am taking my rating down by 2 stars. The food was excellent, I had the Coop Burger with everything and it came with delicious crispy fries (is it worth $17, probably not but it was still good). I ordered a bourbon for after my meal as my desert. When I went to take the first sip I noticed something floating in it. I took it up to the bar to get it fixed and the young lady offered if I would like the older bourbon of the same family, I said sure. Not once during that interaction did she inform me that it would be an increase in price, when the bill came nd saw the price hike, I talked to her about it and she literally told me that I drank the one she offered me as a replacement and that the new price is currect. She eventually fixed after i asked to speak to a manager, when she returned with the check she literally told me that she thought it was ok to not inform the customer about the adjusted price and that she was the "supervisor/manager" (if that's the case I cannot come back the rest of this trip). Go for the food but avoid the young looking female bartender like the plague("supervisor/manager"), because if she thought that was ok then there is no telling how many customers she has increased prices on.

8 Nov 22It's been 2.5 years since the last time work had me in Layton. Across from my hotel The Coop by Roosters, it has a modern rustic vibe which can be over looked by the restaurant next door (Roosters does stand out quite a bit). At first I didn't know they served food, thought it was just a bar until I saw food being served, so I stepped in to give it a shot. I ordered the Tender Pecan Pork, it came with a pecan crust, potato hash, and a roasted shallot glaze. The pork was cooked perfectly, I didn't need to use a knife as it was fork tender. The glaze gave just the right amount of sweetness to balance the porks natural salts, and the potato hash was delicious with just the right amount of bite from the carrots and pecans for texture and the fluffyness of the potatoes were a perfect match for the pork. Thank you for an amazing meal. The service was excellent, wait time just right, and a nice selection of Bourbon for desert 😉. If there is one complaint it would be they do not have actual desert but their website mentions 3. Not a deal breaker because it was an...

Disappointed, but will return and try again. I feel like 3-4 times of visiting gives a place a fair try, and it's owned by Roosters, so I had high expectations. Visited with a friend b/c we wanted to catch up, so we knew we'd be there long. The server only came over 3x in our 3 hour stay, and my friend was waiting 40 minutes to order another cocktail, which then took 15 minutes to get. And it was slow, but the staff was super short. The staff at Roosters had been hyping up The Coop for so long, that we've been extremely excited to try it. But it was a total let down.

The Beehive Cheese Board was a heap of top many grapes, 6 pieces of dry bread, a tiny plastic cup of olives, and 3 small sections of cheese. I thought it was going to be like the one in the photos posted by the establishment, which was more charcuterie board style. The menu options didn't fit a bar style, in my opinion, but I'm used to Jackson Hole bar dining which is where we always dine when we're having drinks on vacation. Menu was extremely expensive for what was offered, but that may be b/c of inflated prices right now. I'm a frequent flyer at Roosters, been there over 75+ times at least. So might just end up sticking to that place, which never disappoints!

Recommendation would be to write out the beer menu on a chalk board like they do at Roosters, since the beer menu wasn't on their printed menus they give you, and they have so many options, it's hard...

The atmosphere seems welcoming but the employees CANNOT BE BOTHERED. I'm in town for work and this place is right across the street. I waited almost 20 minutes for the bartender to finally acknowledge me. And when I asked for recommendations they seemed irate about the question. Never was checked on and sat another 20 minutes after my first drink to finally be asked again if I'd like something else. Yes I had made attempts to indicate service needed but was usually met with a cold shoulder. Mind you there was ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON THERE, and two bartenders. I can look past the overly priced drink menu if the bartenders weren't absolutely worthless as representatives of this establishment, and the surrounding area. My suggestion if you're reading this and in the area. Go to the summit lounge down the road. At least there you can engage in conversation with the bartender and they will do so in the typical manner a bar tender should.too bad too as I'm likely to be in this area for about 2 years on a work contract. I feel the terrible service was partly sie to my appearance of just getting off work and still wearing work clothes. Not dirty or shabby but I do feel like they made an unfair judgement call. I tip very well for good bartenders as I used to bartend myself. Bartenders were a gal with a lot of tattoos and short hair. The other was a guy with a man bun a bit heavy set. I'll give the place another...
