Culinary Dropout

Thirsty? Order the brown bag special. It's $1.95. It's basically cheap beer ! Fun story behind the name. Drown your sorrows with the server that coined this concept. Cheers!

you need to order the pretzel fondue , this is a fact. great happy hour specials , the manager is great - amazing customer service, if you go, you will leave happy :) friends loved the tuna salad .

Pretzels ! I think most of the appetizers are better than the entrees. Desserts are soooo good too. Great ambiance. Gets pretty loud the later in the night it gets. Love the seating and chandeliers .

Live music is Fridays and Saturdays, super fun environment but it will be super LOUD then too. If you can handle the noise, order the fondue and after dinner don't miss the caramel popcorn .

The hamburger was delicious, get the 20 oz Firestone Walker 805 beer and not get the Korean shrimp & chicken on a stick.

Place gets packed. Open table reservation let skip the line . Pretzel Fondue would've been great had cheese been more heated. For some reason the bar was holding up our drinks. Even empty. And canned.

The fried chicken is out of this world. For those tips on here saying to avoid it- they must have changed it up. Great sizes portion. So crispy !

Coolest place to grab lunch in the area! Pretzels never disappoint. Try a smashed Irishman.

The chef that created the concepts for Culinary was so innovative and creative. This is a one of a kind concpet and really brings a new taste to comfort food ! They often have specials and unique menu

The food was so good! It is very popular there so it can be hard to get a table

Nice little spot along Camelback across from the mall with great food, drinks friendly staff and great people watching views .

Awesome food! The pretzel fondue is the best thing ever. A little expensive if you're on a college budget, but totally worth it! Decent happy hour specials !

The Pretzel Fondue is quite amazing. I have never come here and didn't like what I ordered. The service is always great and it's a fun place to hang out.

Love the atmosphere of this place. They don't take reservations for small parties, but the wait goes quickly. The tomato bisque soup was amazing!

Love this place, just like all the other Fox restaurants ! Mostly for the simple menu and live acoustic music on the weekends! They have a great happy hour too!

Amazing food! Probably because half the menu is dedicated to alcohol , however if your vegetarian you may have to think outside the box while trying to figure out what you can eat here.

I had the prezels and povolone fondue and the pork belly ramen .... it was amazing! A must try.

Easy to get a reservation and best to do before it gets crowded . Nice outdoor seating !

Cool place with great beer selection and tasty burgers ...too bad not staffed adequately....painfully slow/overwhelmed staff

Try a shot of Chartreuse at Culinary Dropout. It's made by French monks. @CulinaryDr0p0ut #greenliqueur

Hip gourmet-style pub food - try the the pretzel bites and fondue !

Fried chicken has a distinctly strong honey taste, a little off-putting to me, my wife, & a friend. Nothing wrong with it per se, & perfectly prepared. Just not to our liking.

Named one of the 2010 Best New Restaurants . Try the pork belly Cubano . Don't skip the skillet of hot, gooey apple monkey bread . Order it when your entree arrives, as it's baked to order. Read more

Awesome and ambiance and the shaved prime rib sandwich is oh la la

Order the pork ribs - sauce made with jalapeño and molasses- not too spicy not too sweet. Meat literally falls off the bone, so delicious. I subbed a salad for my fries too. All meals are under $20!

Try the Broccoli Beer and Cheddar soup ! So good!

The sweet corn ravioli is a must try here!

Don't let the name discourage you. The food here is kinda pricy for a college budget but worth every penny. My favorite is the house made fettucine ! Also they have nearly 50 different beers choices !

Everyone had awesome food - not a single bad item. I had the braised short rib pasta and it was amazing! shrimp po boy was excellent as well the pretzel appetizer was a great starter.

I highly recommend the Turkey pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese on a pretzel roll . Savory.....I also recommend you plan a nap.

If going with a large party, call ahead! They only have 2 or so tables that can accommodate. Very good food! Fondue pretzels and many grilled cheese is the best!

Little pricy but excellent foof drinks! Great place of you want to splurge a little (;

Really awesome food and atmosphere. Used to be a pink taco . Lexi is awesome.

Try the pulled pork nachos and the Italian grinder ! Both are shareable portions.

I come here for the prime rib dip , it's the best I have ever had

Located 15 mins north of campus. Great atmosphere and all of their menu items are delicious. Wide variety and a great place for happy hour drinks and appetizers .

They have great food for happy hour (bar only), but for the life of me I cannot tell the difference between who works here and who is a customer.

Food was amazing! Great service! Fried chicken is enough for two people!

Pretzels , grilled artichoke , Italian Salad , glasses of Reisling....best dinner in a long time!!

Good vibe in the restaurant . Friendly attentive and helpful staff . Good local beers .

Order the Pretzel Fondue and wash them down with a beer from their impressive beer list .

pretzels are delish. and the fried chicken is grrreat!

Great Beer list ! You HAVE to try the pretzel bread & provolone fondue . .. Cheers!

Great place to hang out and have a great cocktail or food.

The meatloaf was as good as promised. And the house chips and onion dip just as good.

$2 brown bag beer special is where it's at.

Great hangout spot ! Chill ! Good food!!

Crispy shrimp Caesar salad hits the spot - though the shrimp is battered/fried, there's nothing greasy about it. (And as others have said, YES, the pretzels .)

Burrata appetizer was amazing.

Fried chicken is great, as are fish and chips . Definitely share the pretzel appetizer . All cocktails are made with fresh and/or in-house ingredients.
