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.

    Menu options and execution were well above what you would expect of a regional restaurant chain. Vibe is fun and relaxed. Service was very attentive and quick. Would return here for sure!

    Server not attentive and not very interested. Food and drinks were good. Server rolled her eyes at us when we had ordered appetizer and drinks but hadn’t been brought either but was insisted that we order our entree. Started making excuses why we didn’t have either yet but within a few minutes were brought both but appetizer was barely warm so apparently had been ready for awhile.

    We waited a very long time for our breakfast. Our food was as cold but we did not want to send it back as it took so long to come out. The server was not very attentive and aloof. I paid $60 for cold eggs and cold toast.

    It was extremely loud and a charcuterie board that costs $50 for barely any food is insane. Server was very nice but the value of what we paid and actually got is terrible.
