Always an enjoyable meal here. The food is good, craft cocktails are exceptional (but a bit on the expensive side), and the service is always top notch. This evening we ordered the "Drouout Duo" advertised as a special on OpenTable. As it turns out, not all of the Craft Cocktails on the menu are included in this offer and we accidentally ordered one of the ones that wasn't. Our waiter (who was excellent) was not aware of the limitation either. When the bill came, it included the board and both cocktails at full price. I brought this to the attention of the waiter and he immediately went to his manager and got it resolved for us, Well done! We prefer the indoor seating to the covered patio (which is almost indoors) becasue it is a little quieter. I definitely recommend this place for a casual evening out. It's also an excellent choice for parties and events, with a very nice private bar available for such events.
Culinary Dropout is unique. Drinks are very hot. Service excellent. The manager paid us a very nice yet easy going visit despite a great number of diners present. The noise level was high but not quite so much as to prohibit conservation. Food was hot when brought to the table and very tasty. I would only ask that the sauce on their smashburger have a tad more zing. Westin the enclosed patio but, despite it being a bit cool out we're perfectly comfortable. Peach cobbler soft ice cream dessert was fsntasric. Drinks are a bit pricey but then, my Margarita was excellent and the wine was top quality Decoy. We will go again.
ordered the fried chicken. it was awful; i only attempted a few bites. it looked and tasted burnt, not to mention the batter must have had an entire can of morton salt dumped in each order's portion. if you managed to jack-hammer your way through the burnt fried coating to get to the meat, it was just ok. i can say with 100% certainty that the chicken at any of the four fast food chains in the area beat this offering... not even close. won't ever order again.

We loved this place! It is a fun, well-run restaurant with delicious food, great service and ambience. Highly recommend.
food was great, ambience is very cool but the best part was our server Avril's great wine suggestion and dinner suggestions as well were spot on. We travel quite a bit and I would say she is one of the best servers we've had. Thank you for making our dinner experience so wonderful!
I spent $300 for two undercooked steaks, and one over cooked Chicken Sandwich. They sat us near a wall that was open to the outside , windy, cold and raining. I told the waiter to let the manager know. Managers response was uncaring , saying itβs the weathers fault. No apologies, no regrets . I left a tip for the waiter but wrote on the check β lousy Manager β. They donβt care about the patrons . Never again for me and anyone that asks.

Great food. House-made potato chips and dip were amazing! Best fish and chips ever! Fun place, great service, and a diverse menu with lots of options. Very busy, so make a reservation.
Great place for get-togethers with friends, the food was actually pretty good and the service was great. Pretty good diverse menu of appetizers, full meals, and lots of drink options from beer to wine to cocktails.

I ordered the french onion soup, which came out room temperature. I asked for a replacement soup and I was assured the next one would be hot. When the second soup came out, the crouton was warm, but the broth was still room temperature. The flavor of the soup was delicious and I did not want to wait for a third soup to come out so I just went ahead and ate it. I ordered the meatloaf for dinner. The meatloaf itself was average and the mashed potatoes were good, but it came with broccolini that was almost entirely stems and only one broccolini floret. I have never been to a restaurant where the broccolini stems were so prominently part of the side. The stems don't have a nice texture and were not very enjoyable. My son ordered the pub burger with egg and we asked for the egg to be poached hard, which the server did write down. However, when his burger was brought out, the egg was soft poached with a very runny yolk. My son was really hungry and did not want to wait for a new burger to be made and brought out so he ate it, but did not finish it because the yolk made the bun very mushy. We shared the Mississippi Mud Pie, which was fantastic and salvaged the meal for us. We are visiting Tucson and I was excited to try out Culinary Dropout because one was just opened near my home. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will probably not go to the Culinary Dropout near our home.

First date night, the World Series was on so it was loud but very fun. Food was good and the portions were huge. I had the Fish and Chips (truffle fries). Cocktails were nice, service was pretty on point. Lively and loud but enjoyable.
Excellent food and service. We would return anytime. It is a great place for younger folks: lots of music and energy. For older folks, especially those with hearing loss, it's hard to hear. The bathrooms are nice and clean, but I was unnerved when I was washing my hands and could see through to the men's bathroom side! Would change that feature if possible.
