At Culinary Dropout, raise your glass to friends coming together. A place where food and music are life. Join us at happy hour for ice cold beer and our famous soft pretzels with provolone fondue. At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

    Brought out dinner at different times, and the wrong food Service was horrible. They did take some dinners off the bill đź’µ but I simply wanted to get and pay for the food our table ordered. Would not recommend this restaurant.

    Our waiter, a young man from Flagstsff, was exceptional! Food was good. Prices are high. Our meal was a cup of soup and toasted bread with balsamic, and Chopped Chicken salad. Both good, but with 2 glasses of wine the bill before tip was $77. Cocktails expensive. Again, our waiter was great!

    This Culinary Dropout has a beautiful large outdoor area thar is in front of the indoor portion and is on Gilbert Road. Mostly not too loud except when motorcycles or louder cars drive by drowning out conversations. Large indoor area was quiet atleast at lunch on this particular day. Service was stellar with ice tea refills and attentive service. The fried chicken amazingly delicious as always (the only place I will eat fried chicken.)Served with mashed potatoes, gravy,cole slaw and a biscuit…always more than one meal. Friends also had the chicken and one had a roast beef sandwich which she enjoyed. Have eaten now at the Scottsdale version and Gilbert..both excellent and highly recommended

    This is a really good restaurant in a very vibrant little corner of town. Ask your server if they have the Korean Rib Eye Cap available and cross your fingers !
