Culinary Dropout

Culinary Dropout is always a vibe, but the real star of the show is the manager, Calypso.
She’s honestly incredible!!!! Super high energy, handles the floor like a total pro, and genuinely makes you feel like the most important person in the room. The food is great (get the M.A.C burger!).

Sat at the bar at Culinary Dropout and it was hands down the best way to experience it. The vibe is fun and energetic, the bartenders are on point, and the food is consistently delicious comfort food done right. Definitely try the katsu sandwich!!
Huge shoutout to Manager Calypso — she runs the place flawlessly. You can feel the positive energy in the staff and the smooth service. 10/10 recommend grabbing a seat at the bar.

Culinary Dropout never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and comes out fast. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, but what really makes the experience stand out is the management. Calypso is an amazing manager — professional, attentive, and truly cares about both the guests and her team. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. Highly recommend!

Today was my first time going and I loved it. The atmosphere was nice, the restaurant itself is in a nice area, the staff were so nice (everyone, not just our waitress). Speaking of our waitress, her name was Bianca and I absolutely LOVED her. She was fantastic. She recommended a dish which I did order and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the fried chicken and biscuit. I usually order French toast anytime I go to brunch but I trusted her word and it did not disappoint! I attended this place with a bunch of friends and our kids. Bianca took the time out to interact with the kids which was really nice of her. I am pregnant and everyone (besides the kids) ordered cocktails. Bianca put my orange juice in a cute little cocktail glass so that I did not feel left out. It’s just the little details that really made the difference. She really made us feel like valued customers and not just some people she HAD to serve. I rave about our waitress but like I said, from the time we walked in, everyone was really nice and spoke to us, everyone had smiles and just looked happy like they enjoy their jobs. I hope they are treated well because they all did a wonderful job. Check this place out the next time you want a pleasant dining experience with really good food and drinks.

Had a great experience at Culinary Dropout in Sandy Springs thanks to Myla and Milano. They were both super attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome without being overbearing. Service was quick, our drinks stayed full, and they checked in at just the right times.

I ordered the spicy rigatoni and it was really good — perfectly cooked pasta with a creamy sauce that had just the right amount of heat. You can tell they care about both the food and the guest experience here.

Overall, amazing service and a great meal. Myla and Milano absolutely made the visit better — would definitely come back and ask for their section again.

Myla was amazing! She took such good care of us from the moment we walked in. We tried the meatloaf and the turkey pastrami, and both were honestly so good, Myla made the whole experience even better. Milano also came by to help and his personality was great too. Overall, just really kind, attentive service from both of them. Highly recommend!

We ordered online and were given a pickup time. After we arrived when food was supposed to be ready. We had to wait over 30 minutes from forecasted time. The food was cold when we finally got it. The manager handed us the food. I expressed that it was over 30 minutes late and he brushed me aside and informed me they were busy. The interior of restaurant was maybe 10 percent full. The outdoor seating maybe 50 percent full. This was ordered around 4pm on a Saturday.
Warning a 21 dollar pizza was 4 slices and would be more accurately described as a personal pizza.

Every Culinary Dropout is amazing and this one is no different! Myla was the perfect server all night, with great drink and food recommendations! My wife and I shared the chicken katsu sandwich and kale sandwich with butternut squash and salmon on top, both delicious! The espresso martini, as recommended by Myla, was phenomenal!
