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.

    Excellant food quality and service. We were visiting friends as we drove though - spent 3 hours eating/talking. Sophie(Star Dust) was quite attentive to us, even long after we finished eating and paying!

    The live music was really good, the night I was there it was more soft country . Located in Downtown Gilbert so it’s pretty lively! The service was fast and the menu was full of different options. Definitely a good place to serve everyone’s appetite ! The sparkling lemonade was delicious as well as the deviled eggs and sushi was very fresh ! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because they keep the large garage doors open during the night so it was freezing inside. The patio seating had heaters but the inside spots did not, since the large doors were open it just defeated the purpose sitting inside.

It’s great to hear the sparkling lemonade, deviled eggs, and sushi stood out to you! We do apologize for the chilly experience inside, though—we understand how that could’ve been uncomfortable. We’ll definitely take your feedback into consideration when it comes to keeping the space more comfortable for everyone. We hope to see you back soon, and we’ll make sure you’re cozy next time!

    The food is amazing. My wife had the roasted salmon and I had the spicy vegan curry. The dishes were so good that we came back the very next night and had the exact meals. Loved it. The salmon was delicious. The spicy vegan curry was so good that you won’t even miss the meat.

    It’s a great place. Service is good and the food never disappoints. The only negative is that it’s very noisy but that’s because it’s always full of people and that’s a good thing.

    Brought out dinner at different times, and the wrong food Service was horrible. They did take some dinners off the bill 💵 but I simply wanted to get and pay for the food our table ordered. Would not recommend this restaurant.

    Our waiter, a young man from Flagstsff, was exceptional! Food was good. Prices are high. Our meal was a cup of soup and toasted bread with balsamic, and Chopped Chicken salad. Both good, but with 2 glasses of wine the bill before tip was $77. Cocktails expensive. Again, our waiter was great!
