About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Overall our experience was good, did have a reservation and took a little longer then what our time was but was understandable because it was busy. Our waiter was very good and attentive, had the Mac burger which was just ok but eatable, I would go again and try one of the salads which looked really good.

    Thank you so much for the review Leonard! I am so sorry the burger did not meet your expectations; we really do hope to see you again soon!
