Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Culinary Dropout in Charlotte offers a "stylish and inviting" atmosphere with a laid-back vibe. While the "food was delicious" with standout items like the whipped feta dip, the service can be inconsistent. Guests enjoy the "amazing drinks" and live music, making it a great spot for "great food and drinks." Some issues with slow service and menu availability are noted, but the "friendly staff" often make up for it. Overall, it's a fun venue with potential for improvement.

    Had brunch with another couple. The portions on the hash and breakfast bowl were incredibly small for the money, but it tasted ok.
