   The food was good and the service was better. Did not realize beforehand that it is just a bar that serves food. It was a little too dark inside and the music was a little to loud for my taste.

   Culinary Dropout here has always got it right, from when I used to live here to now just coming out for a day trip to see old friends, it’s always a must for a casual great meal! Service is incredible, food is outstanding (do not leave without getting the pretzels and fondue!!) and the drinks are great! Will continue to stop by every time I’m in town!

    Our server Erica was awesome! Super friendly, the atmosphere was fun but the food was not great. The guest “favorite” fried chicken was dry and lacking flavor. The biscuits were also hard and seemed stale, my kids tried to dip in extra gravy but the gravy had an odd taste to it. Of the 3 people who ordered the fried chicken, none of them could eat it.

    The atmosphere there was great. Calm and positive I got from eating there. The waitress was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and was really nice and helpful. I would come back and would recommend family and friends to come here.

    Been here twice. Food was subpar at best. No imagination to speak of and/or poor execution. They had a live singer for brunch, she was good, but volume was very loud. Service was excellent, very charismatic and efficient! I would only go back if I wanted drinks and appetizers. No dinners or lunches wasted here again in the future.

    Excellent Waiter with spot on recommendations. The bruschetta with the grilled avocado and Mexican street corn was a delicious surprise. The butternut squash cannoli was the hit of all the lunch entrées. We will definitely be back next time we are in Scottsdale

    Amazing pretzels bites and fondue! We took some time to decide what we wanted but because of that, it was like our waiter forgot us. Kale and strawberry salad was a 1/10; maybe 3/4 of an entire strawberry and all kale, none of the other ingredients came in it that were listed. Fried chicken was similar to that of KFC- good but not worth the price point.

    We love coming coming here. The drinks are good the location and the vibes are good. Staff is super friendly. The charcuterie board you can build yourself is so good. The nachos are good and so are the wings…I’m not a fan of the entrees though. There isn’t really anything on there that I go for. I usually just eat appetizers.

    Met another couple here for dinner early on a Saturday evening, and it was a loud noisy experience. The room has a high ceiling and hard floors and sound reverberates all over the place not to mention the loud music. We asked for a quiet table and the host staff did their best with this, but it was virtually impossible to have a reasonable conversation during our meal. Our server was very nice and attentive, and the food came out quickly. She came back to check on us from time to time and was not intrusive. The food was tasty, but nothing amazing or memorable. I think overall this is more of a drinking place and a happy hour type place and a 'young and hip crowd' place - example we saw at least four bachelorette parties at various tables - seemed more like a place for the 'young and hip' folks to 'see and be seen.'

    Sat at the bar first, the bartender while not chatty with me(I’m old) was very good attentive& knew his drinks..dinner was slow, food was mediocre mash potato’s were cold..I had the meatloaf…great venue..just overloaded the waitress with tables so it took too long to get our dinner as she was too busy with other tables..it’s a good place for large groups, the bench seating is good But it gets very loud the later you get into the evening

    We have been to many culinary dropouts and this was the worst experience we have had with friends in town. We normally go to the quarters or Gilbert location and decided to try this one. We had reservations and got an awful table. The most disappointing part was our food I received the wrong burger with 10 fries on my plate. My husband‘s nachos came out ice cold I ordered an extra side of fries because I didn’t have barely any on my plate and a single side of fries took 30 min AFTER my meal came. Overall it just wasn’t a wonderful experience and the food was the worst that we have ever received while at a culinary dropout. Extremely disappointing and embarrassing when we have guest in town

    Menu is really just bar food. Perhaps just go for the cocktails? Acoustic musician played waaaaay too loud. Music volume consistent with. Live concert. We had to eat outside because of the music level and even then it I was too loud. Will not be returning.

    I was really looking forward to this reservation. Definitely make a reservation, this place is POPULAR! They honored my request for a patio table, which was good because inside was LOUD. Service was good and quick, the food and drinks came quickly, the flank steak was TO DIE for. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

    Didn’t get to eat for our reservation, but still giving 5 stars. That’s bc in the middle of them having a major kitchen fire- the manager still called to cancel from her personal cell phone, in the midst of chaos. Will make sure to try when I’m back in town. And hope everything with the restaurant and staff are safe!
