Quite disappointing! We came here after doing an escape room because they give out wrist bands for happy hour there when you win. We decided to sit at the bar. Between the 4 of us we ordered a salad, artichoke dip, beef nachos, a burger and wings. The salad came out with the wrong dressing to be told they were out of ranch, the burger came out with onions on it when it was ordered without. The nachos came out without any beef on them. They were literally just chips with like melted craft cheese. They were so gross I wouldn’t even consider them nachos, especially at $8!!. They offered to cook beef for them but at this point we just sent them back all together. Then the artichoke dip was put in as chips and salsa. So we sent that back and they brought the dip out a while later. Then on top of ALL of this, the bill was wrong. Was such a back experience. And it was dead in there so there wasn’t really an excuse to why every single thing was wrong. Won’t ever be coming back. Highly recommend going somewhere else.
We took our kids to the Natural History Museum, and this lunch spot was a quick walk down the street. Kids pizza was an entire homemade mini pizza- a pleasant surprise. My mac and cheese was the good ooey-gooey kind. Husband loved his custom burger and sister and mother in laws enjoyed their sandwiches. Prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes (we took home some leftovers even). Service was great.
This was nice to enjoy main street and drink without being a craft beer. The staff was nice, bartender was not frugal and the inside was steam punk themed. Very clean inside. I will definitely come back here.
Found this spot today! Very happy with the food and especially the service. Danni the bartender was very attentive and chill. Liked the vibe of the place. Cant wait to try more of the menu options.
We were excited to try this place out, but left extremely disappointed. I ordered one of the burgers off the menu with the pretzel bun, as suggested, but it seemed to have zero flavor, was beyond dry, and the bun had no alteration such as being warmed up or toasted. Instead, it tasted like it came right out of the packaging. It was bland to say the least and the burger and fries were served on a small plate, almost like an appetizer dish. My wife ordered a salad off the menu, but that, too, felt like it came right out of a salad bag like I would buy at Fry's. It wasn't terrible, but definitely not worth the $10 we paid for it. The staff was friendly, but that's about the only good review I felt honest leaving here. With as many great restaurants as there are in the valley, unfortunately I just do not see myself coming back.
Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night. Decent sized crowd. Service was fantastic; quick and our server was very attentive. I had the Ultimate burger - hands down one of the most delicious burgers I've had. Cooked to perfection, and the fries were fresh and just the right amount of crispy and soft.
We came in to the Culinary Escape during Bike Night. It was their opening day, and despite being SWAMPED, staff was friendly, attentive, and our meal was piping hot and absolutely delicious! The menu is very affordable and has a good variety of "American" dishes including salads, sandwiches, burgers, and pizza. Dessert was also SO GOOD!
I used to come here when it was a different bar, ended up coming back 2 days in a row! Staff is amazing and the owners are super friendly! The beer is very unique and flavorful. And I was pleasantly surprised and how great the food is! Burgers are thick and juicy and wings are crazy good! I highly suggest coming in and indulging in the food, drink, and atmosphere!
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I can recommend the classic burger and fries. Delicious. As well as a ice cream Sunday big enough for two. Two thumbs up.
I have never been to a place like the Culinary Escape. The steampunk theme is just gorgeous. Paired with the delicious food, and outstanding drinks, this is the coolest bar on Main street. My new go to spot 100%
