About the restaurant
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.

Everything came out in a timely manner, my mom and I got our drinks at the same time and it was really nice. They didn’t have the original dish that I had ordered but I was suggested a few different options and I went with the fired chicken which I had before and the manager took care of the mixup. I love coming here with my family just know when you go in the evening hours there may be some live music which definitely adds to the noise. But everything is always so good!

Birthday celebration for my sister and dad, it was lovely! They are from Virginia and hadn't been before. They both loved the meal and the ability to sit outside on the patio in late December! Service was top notch! The stars of the evening were the Short Rib Ravioli and the braised short rib. Of course the mussels delicious, as always! Can't wait to go back!

We enjoyed everything, the friendly service, delicious dishes, ambience, and the fact that the restrooms were clean as well. It was a very nice family chew & chat. I rated the value “fair” because we ran about $100 for the 3 of us, could have been a little less for brunch, but I get it. It was “fair”. Well done and we’ll be back.

I ordered the Prix Fixe menu. The "scallops rockefeller " were disappointing. 1 1/2 tiny scallops. Definitely not Oyster Rockefeller. If oysters are not available they should go a different route. Salad, Filet & Lobster were great. I found out I don't care for Bananas Foster. It was boozy and that wasn't disclosed. I was thinking that should have been served hot? Other than that I love it there. Service is always excellent.
