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.

    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

    This was our third time here over the years, this time we brought out pups for a late lunch. The big main area is dog friendly given it is simply a 'covered patio'. We had GREAT service this time, the young man waiting on us was a gem and on point. The crispy brussels sprouts on the menu are where it is at. I can literally eat an entire bowl myself. My husband ordered the Steak Frites and I ordered the Chix Katsu sandwich. Fries were a bit old/cold but the sandwich was great. My husbands fries were from the same batch as mine but he said his steak was good. Great place to meet people/gatherings.
