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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Culinary Dropout Waterfront is a vibrant dining spot praised for its "superb service," "fantastic food," and "fun atmosphere." Guests rave about the "delicious" fried chicken and "amazing" Korean ribeye. The lively ambiance, complete with live music, makes it a great choice for group outings. However, note the energetic noise level.

    My wife, my visiting granddaughter and myself very much enjoyed our dinner. Lucy, our server, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and assisted us on our choices (which were excellent). She also was very attentive and came by numerous times to assure we had what we needed and that everything was ok. We definately be returning and hopefully can get Lucy again.

    The receptionist was clueless. It took a manager to figure out how to get patrons with reservations seated in an orderly fashion. The service was excellent once we were seated. The food was plentiful and adequate. The noise level made it difficult to carry on a conversation
