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.

    Ambiance: fun lively atmosphere and we loved the live music. Food: Average…better than bar food but thought everything seemed heavy. The cheese seemed like velveeta on the nachos. Service: Great service. Friendly and upbeat.

    Overall, it was a good experience something happened when we put in our food order they came out and told us that they had to cook the chicken all the way and something else had happened that got in the way of the time for our order so it took quite a while and when we got the chicken, it was way overcooked.
    Culinary Dropout WaterfrontResponded on July 15, 2025
    Thanks for the feedback, Marianne! We're glad to hear that you had a good experience on your last visit! We apologize for the delay and overcooked chicken. We understand how frustrating that must have been and we're sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope to serve you again soon!
