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.

    We waited a very long time for our breakfast. Our food was as cold but we did not want to send it back as it took so long to come out. The server was not very attentive and aloof. I paid $60 for cold eggs and cold toast.

    It was extremely loud and a charcuterie board that costs $50 for barely any food is insane. Server was very nice but the value of what we paid and actually got is terrible.

    Good food, and the service was good on this visit, our second. Too noisy and the prices are high for what the food is.

    We were seated on time and our requested accommodations were met. The food and drinks were fresh and appropriately hot/cold and delicious. Because of a problem with a tap, the beer I ordered was unreasonably delayed. While understandably this can happen, I would have appreciated being offered a different selection. Overall, excellent.

    Thank you for the 5 star review Marco! We hope to serve you better in the future if one of our taps go out again. Kindly,
