Culinary Dropout serves classic meals done right. With crowd favorites like our pretzel bites and provolone fondue, 36-hour pork ribs, and our famous fried chicken drizzled with honey you’ll want to taste everything. Thirsty? Wash it all down with an ice-cold craft beer or a killer house-made cocktail. And don't forget to stick around for live music with a laid-back vibe. Culinary Dropout is for anyone who loves damn good food and drinks.

    Had a 6:30 reservation. Sat us right away. Great service, excellent food, wonderful atmosphere. Sat outside on a beautiful spring evening while children played in the courtyard. We could have been in Mayberry.

    Good service. Food fine enough, but way too $ for what it’s worth. Nice atmosphere, but probably won’t be back because it was very expensive.

    Outstanding dinner. Server... Abby I believe was fabulous. Very personable and attentive but not too much. Drinks were spot on ! Got two apps ( crispy shrimp and pigs in a blanket)and the mushroom pizza. All were flavorful and well balanced tastes. Just a really good time. Fourth time visiting...has always been consistently good. Love this place.

    I have a gluten allergy and although nothing was marked on the menu, our waitress, Bianca was amazing with helping me find something and make sure it was gluten free.

    I was greeted enthusiastically by the hostess, seated quickly with my reservation, and enjoyed great service and food. The duck/shrimp/egg fried rice was fantastic. Also my cocktail was not too sweet.

    We've all been there previously and enjoyed the experience. This time the food was hit or miss across the board, with meats being overly salted and over cooked, food being lukewarm, and food requests forgotten requiring food to be resent. Our server was a delight. Unfortunately we won't be recommending or revisiting Culinary Dropout again.

    Overally disappointed with our experience. I ordered the fish and chips which were mainly soggy and not crispy at all. Our server forgot one of the meals and it came 10 minutes late which was frustrating as well, and it was hard to get their attention. The appetizers were good but overall I don't think we will be returning any time soon.
