About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
At Culinary Dropout, raise your glass to friends coming together. A place where food and music are life. Join us at happy hour for ice cold beer and our famous soft pretzels with provolone fondue. At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

    Valet parking but it takes awhile and they sped my vehicle through the parking lot. We had a reservation, but still had to wait about ten minutes for our table (unsure what the wait for non-reservations was). Food was okay, but not worth the cost. Overall disappointed as a lot of people spoke highly of this restaurant.

    The food was unique and wonderful . The pimento cheese was spicy and salmon dip was so good. The veggie dish was extremely tasty. I will definitely eat there again

    Your parking lot is small to begin with. Why would you sell it out to a party and make it impossible for restaurant guests to park?! And if you knew there wouldn't be parking available, why wasn't that made clear on the reservation. I'll likely never spend another dime at Culinary Dropout.

    Great experience. Great service and great food. Surprisingly enough, the bartenders even knew how to make a drink. My Negroni was very good. Better than what I made at home.
