We had such a fantastic experience at Culinary Dropout! The food was excellent—the burger was spot-on, and the steak and fries were cooked perfectly—and the Tijuana Spa Water cocktail was amazing. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was our waitress, Kendall. She was an absolute ray of sunshine. Her energy was warm, genuine, and uplifting, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. What impressed us even more was watching her interact with...read full review
It’s rare to find a spot that nails it all, but Culinary Dropout has done it!! The perfect mix of style, great live music, and flavor. The staff is amazing!!! They make you feel right at home, the vibe is fun and trendy, and the food and drinks are spot-on. Already one of my new favorite spots and sooooo glad there’s one here at home now!

Culinary Dropout is a restaurant with a classy, laidback vibe and a low-light, well-decorated interior. The atmosphere is more formal at this location, and it features live music at a perfect volume. The space is large, and parking is easy.
The food is consistently described as excellent, delicious, really good, and spot on. Popular dishes and appetizers include the pretzels with cheese fondue, pigs in a blanket, whipped feta, BBQ chicken nachos, pork belly nachos, and Mongolian short ribs. For entrees, the spicy rigatoni is repeatedly praised as delicious with the best flavor. Other enjoyed items are the fish and chips, ribs which are fall-off-the-bone tender, chicken katsu sandwich, turkey & pastrami sandwich, Asian salad, and steak frites. The breakfast burrito was considered good but the least favorite among one group. Portions are big.
The drink menu is also a highlight, with the Old Fashioned highly recommended. The espresso martini is also mentioned favorably. Service experiences vary; some servers are amazing, sweet, informative, personable, and provide great recommendations and personal attention, with the entire team being engaging and efficient. Other experiences note servers who seemed rushed and quick to clear plates, sometimes with food remaining. One order mix-up resulted in a billing error.
Overall, the food and drinks are very good, though the restaurant is a little on the pricey end. The positive experiences with the vibe and meals lead many to plan a return visit.
