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.

    First time we have been to Culinary Dropout Beautiful evening with awesome service. Food was over the top, flavor , presentation. The Valentines special I had was delicious, just a bit overpriced for what I got. Should have been priced $30-$35 instead of $47. Highly recommend to go here.

    Our waiter was Anthony, and he was great! The food was delicious and we enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake for dessert.

    Cole was a fantastic server and really made sure we all had a wonderful evening. He was attentive and kind and incredibly friendly. Culinary is always a cool spot but he was especially great. The live musicians were also a nice touch.
