Culinary Dropout

Culinary Dropout — The “I Came for the Vibes, Stayed Because My Food Wasn’t Ready Yet” Review 😎🍸🎸 Culinary Dropout is basically the restaurant version of that friend who’s super fun at parties but absolutely cannot cook. The vibe is immaculate — loud music, big energy, people playing yard games like they’re auditioning for a beer commercial. 🎯🍻 The food? Listen… it’s not bad, it’s just giving “group project where everyone did the bare minimum.” 🍔🤷‍♂️ You’ll eat it, you’ll survive, but you’re not waking up tomorrow thinking, “Man, that pretzel changed my life.” The menu plays it safer than a cardiologist on their first day in the cath lab. 😅 Drinks? Solid. Atmosphere? A+ for chaos. Food? A strong “yeah that’s fine.” Overall? Perfect place if you want to hang out, laugh, and pretend calor

I had been wanting to go here since they opened, but did not get there until this week. Our server, Isabel, was friendly, helpful, and always there when we needed her. We did not feel like we were in need of anything. Water was always filled and she kept us informed of timing and it was just easy. I love that it’s a scratch kitchen and they make everything there. The flavors were great and the choices were plentiful. We had a wonderful, leisurely lunch with really yummy drinks!

I had dinner the Culinary Dropout to celebrate my son's new job. This was my first time here and I liked the vibe. I started off with a Moscow Mule that was very refreshing. For the table, we shared the Spicy Shrimp Crispy Rice and Soft Pretzels with a provolone fondue. They were both a big hit. For dinner, I had the 36 hour Pork Ribs and it came with fries. It was fantastic. I enjoyed eating here and hope to come back to have a drink at their very cool bar.

The atmosphere here is fantastic, with stylish decor that makes the space feel welcoming and comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. I stopped by for breakfast and enjoyed the burrito—it was flavorful, though a little warmer would have made it perfect. The highlight of the visit, however, was the live music. The acoustic guitar soloist added an amazing energy to the morning, creating a relaxed yet lively vibe that made the experience memorable. Between the inviting environment, helpful staff, and talented musician, this spot has everything I look for in a brunch destination. I’ll definitely be coming back, especially to enjoy more of the live performances.

We enjoyed an elagant double date to Culinary Dropout for Valentine's day. When we arrived the staff were very helpful and dressed fancy for the occasion. The atmosphere was warm and inviting for couples to experience the lovely time together. We ordered the Valentine's day chocolate fondue. It came with cookies, donuts, apples, cherries, strawberries, and rice crispy treats to dip into the chocolate. For brunch we order the Southwest Breakfast bowl and the Fried Chiken and Buttermilk Biscuit. The Breakfast bowl did not look appetizing, but was really delicious. The fried chicken was well seasoned and tender. The Biscuit was very soft and delicious.
