    Our server was attentive, knowledge, outgoing and kind (and of course now I can’t remember her name but she’s worked there for 3 years). Shrimp w/crispy rice app was delish. Pretzel w/provolone cheese dip was “meh” (maybe cheese dip could have a little kick?, pretzel balls were huge). Great atmosphere for 3 friends to catch up and laugh. Thank you!

    This was hands down one of the best restaurants me and my husband have ever been to. We had the prime rib French dip with a Caesar salad and tomato soup. I don’t usually write reviews and we also are hard to please when it comes to restaurants. This is 10s across the board. If we ever visit again we WILL be eating here again. Also the staff made it happen! Thank you for the great experience!!

    Food was great! My only complaint was that the main meal came out before we were done with appetizers. We had asked specifically for that not to happen. Their fried chicken was amazing!

    Always a great time at Culinary Dropout, and this time they were serving up Denver Restaurant Week pricing. Amazing value, always tasty food and very consistent and good service.

    Incredibly slow service- took half an hour for drinks, and 40 minutes for the pretzel fondue appetizer. Both the fried chicken and the fish and chips were over fried. The steak frites was OK, but the steak was not a great cut. The ribs were great!

    Service was outstanding! We were there early on a Saturday so the noise level was nonexistent. Friendly atmosphere, great food.

    We love Culinary Dropouts and last night was fabulous as always. Our favorite hostesses greeted us and took us to our table by an outstanding manager, Micah (unsure of spelling). Our service by Matt was incredible, and our salads were delicious, as we like them. Thank you Culinary staff for making every evening at Culinary Dropouts memorable. We love you all!
