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.

    We had a wonderful eperience. Food was delicious. My food was cold and the server took it immedietely to heat it up. The manager came to the table and took my meal off the bill. My brunch of fried chicken was then brought to me and it was terrific. The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived at 11 but filled up when we were leaving. Will definitely go there again.

    Server was all over the place and didn’t check on the table often, had to ask them to remake two of our food items because the cheese was grainy, and it just wasn’t the experience we usually have.

    Service was slow even though there weren’t many people in the restaurant. Our sever kept forgetting to bring things we asked for including refills. Food was great but portions were kind of small. The shaved prime rib portion is only half a sandwich for $23
