Culinary Dropout

Great restaurant! Our server, Brennan, was sweet and energetic. They really stress that everything is made from scratch. We had 2 other people stopping to ask how our meal was and if we needed anything. Very good service. Cool atmosphere too. They have music Thursday nights sometimes and on Friday and Saturday nights as well as Saturday brunch. We easily got a reservation online for lunch on a Thursday but weekend evenings are harder. Everything we ate was delicious. I highly recommend the whipped feta. The pretzels are awesome too but I was a little annoyed with our 12 pretzel serving (enough for at least 4 people). Appreciate there is a half serving which would have been nice to know. I'm not sure why there would be a 12 pretzel serving on the menu. My butternut squash and kale salad wit

We had such a fantastic experience at Culinary Dropout! The food was excellent—the burger was spot-on, and the steak and fries were cooked perfectly—and the Tijuana Spa Water cocktail was amazing. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was our waitress, Kendall. She was an absolute ray of sunshine. Her energy was warm, genuine, and uplifting, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. What impressed us even more was watching her interact with every table around us with the same intentional care and enthusiasm. It wasn’t just great service—it’s clearly who she is. Kendall truly brightened our day, and because of her (and the incredible food and drinks), we can’t wait to come back.

We had an absolutely splendid time even if we did eat at the bar! Lol My husband and I hadnt planned on eating here but honestly loved the name 🤷 Both items we ate were great! The steak was done perfectly and the burger was flavorful. Atmosphere was fun and lively. Would highly recommend!

This placed sounded great when I looked over the menu, and the reviews. I was sat right away. Great atmosphere, indoor stage and live music. Place was busy, bar was full along with most of the seats. Service was an issue. No uniforms, wasnt sure who my server was. Was a young boy, untucked oversized button down. I wasnt sure if he was ordering drinks at the bar or was my server. I had to ask for napkins, share plates, silverware. I got the pretzels, pretty good. I tried the ribeye dish, was good but not alot of food for the price. Id come back and try some other items on the menu. Certainly a cool place to grab a drink.

The food was genuinely delicious, and we were excited to enjoy each course, but unfortunately the service didn’t quite match the quality of the meal. Our appetizer came out at the same time as the entrées, which took away from the experience of enjoying everything in the order it was meant to be served. We also had to ask for silverware when dessert arrived. Brayden was our server, and while he was kind, he definitely needs a bit more training and attention to detail. I work as a server myself at a new restaurant here in Nashville, so I noticed a few things that could be easily improved with guidance. On a positive note, the manager was amazing—very attentive, came over to apologize, and made sure we were taken care of. Our server also apologized, and I believe with some coaching he’ll g
