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.

    Love everything about this place, especially the food. The only downside is the volume. When the restaurant is full it is very loud, making it hard to carry on a conversation.

    Wow thank you so much Steve!

    Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!

    The restaurant consistently provides a solid and enjoyable dining experience with exceptional service and delectable food. The staff is always exceptionally friendly and attentive. For sure one of my favorite spots at the Domain or this side of Austin in general.

    Reception was very helpful, wait staff was good, but overall food quality was disappointing. Most of us felt our meals were mediocre at best.

    My friend and I met at culinary dropout for casual Thursday evening dinner. The food was super tasty, the service was excellent and we sat on the front patio outside so the music wasn’t too loud. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend CD for this kind of outing.

    We had brunch here to celebrate my daughter’s 30th birthday! When we went, they had live music, and artist did a wonderful job. The cocktails were amazing! I was a little disappointed and the chicken and biscuits. I did not care for the gravy. I ate the chicken and requested jelly for the biscuit. Overall, we had a good time today.
