Culinary Dropout

Culinary Dropout completely impressed me with how fantastic the food was. Every dish I tried tasted incredible. It is a great place for bigger groups too. We were six people and I noticed even larger tables enjoying themselves. The staff handled everything smoothly and stayed very attentive, which is not easy when there are so many groups around. I was so caught up in good food and good company that I hardly focused on the decor, but the whole evening felt amazing. I am already excited to return soon.

Cool atmosphere, decent food, mediocre service. Not sure if it's that they were packed but the service we received starting from the hostess all the way thru the server was just not good. I'd been here once before and it was way better the first time around. Food was good, definitely recommend the chicken katsu, the butternut squash and kale salad, and the Brussels' sprouts. Would come back but if service is an issue again, that'll be my last time here.

If you are looking for a venue that perfectly balances a high-energy "industrial-cool" vibe with seamless professional service, Culinary Dropout at The Yard on 7th Street is a standout. Having visited both the Scottsdale and Phoenix locations for private and corporate events, I am consistently impressed by their ability to host large groups without losing their signature soulful atmosphere. ​Service & Atmosphere ​During my most recent visit for a corporate Christmas party, our group of 12 was assigned two dedicated servers. Their diligence was remarkable; they were incredibly friendly and ensured that appetizers were flowing and drinks were never empty. I never once had to hunt someone down for a refill. ​The restaurant is expertly designed for multitasking. While our group celebrated, I n

Food was amazing and service was great. I had the salmon. I also opted for the mud pie. Which was really good but very rich. The experience and atmosphere was nice but a bit noisy. And the outdoor heaters smelled like propane. But the server quickly came over and turned them off. All in all it was a great experience. I would definitely go back again. And I don't blame the restaurant for the outdoor heaters. I think it's nice that they have those. And the fireplaces they have as well. I think that's just the nature of having something like that as you will have to deal with stuff like that from time to time. Definitely recommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Culinary Dropout! From start to finish, everything was five stars across the board. The starters were amazing! Packed with flavor, fresh, and perfect for sharing. The entrées were outstanding as well, beautifully prepared and seasoned to perfection. Every plate that came out was a winner, and it’s rare to have everyone at the table rave about their meal, but that’s exactly what happened. To top it off, we indulged in the monkey bread with ice cream for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending. Warm, gooey, and delicious. It’s a must-try! What really stood out was that even our 7- and 8-year-olds were raving about the food, which says a lot! It’s not easy to please both kids and adults at the same time, but Culinary Dropout nailed it.
