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 server Sabatian was outstanding and attentive. We were never wanting for anything and every one of his suggestions were 100% spot on. He made our first time at Culinary Dropout fantastic. We will be back and highly recommend this spot to all!

    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.

    Loved the food! Will be back. Probably off hours when there are fewer customers so the noise level would be lower.
