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 hostess team was fantastic at accomodating a last minute larger party for us on the patio. Service was friendly, food was great & drinks too. The live music on Thursday evening big was off the charts good!

    Took 45 min to get the appetizer but they did make up for it at the end and removed it from the check.

    Good food and good service. The chicken katsu sandwiche and fried rice were the winner for our table

    I’m so disappointed at the price increase on their entire menu. I’ve never seen such sticker shock while looking at a menu at things I’ve been ordering for years! I’ve been coming here for years and now it’s likely time I move on to something that has better value. Too bad because I like their food and always brought visitors here. Disappointed.

    It was our first experience at Culinary Dropout. The menu & drink selections were great! We were seated right by the music for the night. It was superb! The level of noise was just perfect! We would definitely stop back if we are in the area!

    Thank you, Michele! We look forward to your next visit in!
