About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
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.

    As usual the staff and food was excellent. We’ve been going to Culinary Dropout in Hilbert for almost 4 years now. They never disappoint and we always recommend CD to all our friends and anyone who asks for a recommendation in Gilbert! .

    Making a reservation was easy. Seating was quick. Drinks and food were just as fast. Ambiance is perfect for date night or an intimate friend’s night out. There is live music until a certain time. Not my thing. If you’re looking for a chill vibe, this is it. Party or club vibes is a no for sure. You’ll have to go down the road for that.
