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.

    There were lots of choices in all prices ranges. Our food was delicious and served nice and hot. My husband ordered fried chicken and asked for all dark meat. He was brought a mix of white and dark meat. When he asked for this to be corrected, the server got the manager who came over right away, told him fresh pieces of dark meat would be delivered right away, and that the upcharge would be taken off the bill. We were very satisfied with how the situation was handled. We hope they bring a Culinary Dropout to the area where we live!

    Super disappointed visit :( My parents are visiting from out of town and I usually go to the Scottsdale locations so I thought this would be a good place to choose; however, NOT THE CASE :( We ended up going for lunch and did not have the best service. It took us almost TEN minutes to get water and each time after that it just took our server FOREVER to go get our requests like an extra side of ketchup. By the end of our experience, We didn’t even ask for extra sauce, refills, or knife because we did not want to wait. Super disappointed because my parents came from California and I overhyped this place and it was not worth $150.00 JUST FOR LUNCH :( Will NOT be back to this location and regret coming in.

    Great food, mud pie needed some kid of coulis or some type of acid but otherwise amazing desert, also Korean rib cap, Hubby thought it needed a small scoop of rice. Great restaurant!

    I had the prime ribbon sandwich and it was really good. I bit on the expensive side, but good.
