    This was the first time for my husband and I to try. Wasn’t sure after mixed reviews. We were pleasantly surprised. My hubby had the fried chicken plate w/mashed potatoes, biscuit and coleslaw. The biscuit was cool so they brought us another one, no big deal. I had the spaghetti pecorino. It was delicious! Overall we really enjoyed the food and ambiance.

    My friend and I had a great dinner at Culinary Dropout on an unseasonably warm December day in TX. We were seated in the outdoor area and the staff turned on the heaters once it became cold outside. Great food and service

    Our server was terrific! The food was very good, if not memorable. The music was ear piercing, and made conversation difficult.

    They took so long today to bring us food. Around 40 min or more. Also my salmon had a risotto under it that tasted burned. It was disappointing.

    Hi Clarissa, I am so sorry to learn that we disappointed you. The wait time for your food and salmon preparation certainly are not our standard. We would like to make it up to you. Please see your inbox.

    First time, hope it wont be my last. I ordered the Steak Frites, the fries and arugula salad were okay, but the steak was exceptional, tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Service was very good.

    I think we misjudged the vibe… def wish we were seated indoors. Otherwise, our server really made us comfortable. We had our toddler (did I mention we didn’t get the vibe?) and she was incredibly helpful with the menu, let him blow out the damn table candles like seriously such a sweetheart. Food never misses here
