About the restaurant

We believe in people. We believe in nourishment. We believe in family. We believe in love.

We believe that people are more than their job titles or their everyday struggles. We believe that everyone deserves a break from everyday stress. We believe you are worthy to be celebrated.

Since the beginning of time, from peasants to royalty, people required fine food & drinks to complete their festivities. We believe in celebrating you, celebrating life & slowing down to enjoy the finer things.

Our Chef-crafted menu offers unique dishes that bring Italian, Spanish and asian flavors to contemporary American staples. Award-winning mixologists offer an array of options including: an 80 bottle wine list, craft canned beer options, over 40 historically-driven classic cocktails & custom cocktails on draft.

This 1939 house, once disregarded by its community, is now repurposed into a gathering place. When you step into our house, you are home.

Always such a great dining experience we like to dine at the bar whenever possible and had so much fun. The bartenders are so knowledgeable and so well trained. The popcorn shrimp is some of the best we’ve ever had a very light coating and lots of delicious locally sourced greens to go along with it . We ordered a butter board, which is an amazing treat just like a charcuterie board except a butter board comes with Noble bread -just fantastic. We had the pork chop entrée which was delicious and it’s an all-around great experience, we will be back!

Our waitperson Jake was very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and served nice & hot! It’s always a bit on the noisy side when I dine here, the acoustics don’t help. The prices have definitely gone up since I started coming here. I think I’ll need to discontinue my Wine Club Membership now so I can eat here more. I do love the gluten free options! Thank you!

About the restaurant

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.

The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, couldn’t have asked for better. Very reasonable prices. Loved the environment too. Classy without being TOO fancy.
