    Culinary Dropouts is a spot that we love, and tonight was no exception. Welcoming staff greeted us at the door and guided us to a fabulous table. Our waitress, Alissa, was very quick, efficient, and caring. Ally, the manager, continuously checks on us and makes sure everything is perfect, which it was. Many staff members stop to say hello since we are regulars. We feel like family at Culinary Dropouts. We love everything about this wonderful place.

    Great place to eat. So many good options on the menu. The Brussels sprouts were so good that I even ate a couple and I don’t enjoy greens. Good place for families, groups and everything in between. Look forward to eating there again.

    Very good all around. Seating next to the window near the entrance reduced the normal high noise level. My vodka on ice had a very “off” Taste which I suspect was the addition of olive juice “dirty” …. Should have returned it!

    Great ambiance, lots of seating so you don’t feel crowded or rushed. Their American dishes were much better than their Asian dishes despite the recs from the waiter. We didn’t get the pizza but it looked amazing. Salads and the French dip were great.

    Loved this place. The vegan option was divine and I ate every bite! My husband loved his ribs. Our cocktails were tasty and paired well with the food. Our server was exceptional!
