About Culinary Dropout

Culinary Dropout is a spacious and inviting restaurant with an accommodating staff. The food and service often exceed expectations, making it a popular choice for both large parties and casual diners. The soft pretzels and cheese fondue appetizer remain delicious, and the fish and chips continue to impress. The restaurant offers a great environment, good food, and drinks, making it a perfect spot for an evening out. Menu options like the Asian crunch salad, ribs, and roasted salmon are enjoyable, and there are always new, seasonally relevant items to try. The space is beautifully decorated and suitable for both locals and out-of-town guests. Customers praise the excellent food, including the feta appetizer and short ribs, as well as the live music and efficient, attentive service. The brunch menu, though small, is well-executed, with a standout spinach, feta, and strawberry salad. Diners consistently have a great time at Culinary Dropout, highlighting the attentive and informative servers and the restaurant’s spacious seating options. Recent reviews mention a wonderful surprise birthday brunch with tasty cocktails, delicious food, and a clean atmosphere, as well as a dinner experience with Korean Rib cap and Steal Frittes, where both dishes were cooked perfectly. Despite minor issues like cold fries and a side of mashed potatoes not pairing well with the Korean marinade, the overall experience remains positive with good food and excellent service, including attentive drinks. The restaurant's open, unique decor, weekend live music, and great patio make it one of the favorites in downtown Gilbert.
