Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Culinary Dropout in Charlotte offers a "stylish and inviting" atmosphere with a laid-back vibe. While the "food was delicious" with standout items like the whipped feta dip, the service can be inconsistent.

Some issues with slow service and menu availability are noted, but the "friendly staff" often make up for it. Overall, it's a fun venue with potential for improvement.

    Food was great. First time and we tried various starters and entrees. The ribs were delicious, fried chicken had a good and unique flavor. The shrimp on crispy rice was fantastic. Will be back to try other options.
