Reviews

Had a reservation and was seated within 5 minutes.
Everything my party ordered was delicious! I agree with the other reviewer that the portion size of the Korean ribeye cap could be larger - I think him comparing it to a nugget meal with no sides is spot on.
I believe I had 6 slices of steak for $33 (see photos).
Everything was served hot and fresh, super happy with the service.
This is NOT a quiet place by any means, so mentally prepare for the live music with poor acoustics.
It’s great lively restaurant for a younger crowd.

Owner response

Thank you for the feedback! I'll continue to work with my Chef team on our portion sizes.
I'm elated to hear that you enjoyed your experience and that everything was hot and fresh.
We have implemented a change in our speaker system, and I hope this helps make our live music the go to place Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Nights.
Look forward to seeing you again soon. Bryan Poe Hospitality Manager

Culinary Dropout Weekend Brunch 10/10!!! First time here, the food, drinks, vibe and service were the absolute best.
Such a beautiful restaurant.
We had reservations and the table was ready when we arrived.
We had a large party for a birthday and everything was perfect.
The food was delicious.
I ordered the Sausage, Bacon & Egg pizza and it was so good.
Our party all had something different and everyone raved about how delicious everything was.
Drinks consisted of a Boozy Bellini Mimosa and Green tea shots.
Both were really good but the shots are where it’s at for me.
I honestly can’t wait to go back again.

Thank you for leaving us such a great review! I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed everything.
I am particularly fond of our breakfast pizza as well, except for the food coma afterwards! Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words, we look forward to having you back soon, Matt Huebert General Manager

My wife and I recently dined at Culinary Dropout, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the evening. The menu offered a delightful selection of dishes, and we opted for the meatloaf and chicken sandwich.
Let me tell you, each bite was a journey of flavor and satisfaction.
The meatloaf was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, accompanied by delicious sides that complemented it beautifully.
My wife's chicken sandwich was equally impressive, with juicy, succulent chicken nestled between perfectly toasted bread. But it wasn't just the food that made our evening memorable; it was the ambiance and service that truly elevated our dining experience.
The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed evening out.
And the staff? Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, they made us feel like valued guests from the moment we stepped through the door. Overall, our experience at Culinary Dropout was nothing short of exceptional.
If you're looking for delicious food, impeccable service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, look no further.
We'll definitely be returning soon for another culinary adventure.
Highly recommended!
