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.

    Great food, mud pie needed some kid of coulis or some type of acid but otherwise amazing desert, also Korean rib cap, Hubby thought it needed a small scoop of rice. Great restaurant!

    I had the prime ribbon sandwich and it was really good. I bit on the expensive side, but good.

    DJ was playing great music, it may be loud for some people (I saw a younger kid walking out with his ears plugged) but if your looking for that vibe it was great. Good food and drinks.

    Very cool place, fun with good food and cocktails. Definitely very loud as the DJ was playing load starting at about 6:30 pm. Would prefer if the load music kicked in about 9:00 pm.

    Hostess and servers were awesome. There was also other personnel that moved around tables ensuring everything was going well! This very appreciated. I will try something ,food wise, differently next time. Drinks/ wine was very appreciated and very good. I would go back for sure!

    Love the atmosphere and vibe of this place. Overall food was good, good selection of apps and enjoyed the choose your own adventure on the charcuterie board. Downers were very slow service, received wrong meal and was offered the replacement, however due to already delayed timing of food, I declined, but did not receive any discount so that was annoying. Just know before you go it will be a 2-hour dinner. The place was not busy either.... still worth a try!
