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.

    Fun atmosphere, good drinks with decent food. The drinks are good and the service is typically good. This is the third time my husband and I have dined here and I don’t see us coming back for the food.

    When my friend and I arrived, we asked for a table in a quiet area. We were told that the noise level was the same everywhere, at the level the customers did prefer. After trying a couple of areas in the restaurant, we decided to leave. We couldn't hear what each other was sating. Why don't they mention their "noise level/policy" on Opentable so that prospective customers know what they should expect before deciding making a reservation? Alternately Opentable could ask that information and add it to the profile of their users.

    Waitress wasn’t really attentive. She ran outside after we paid and we were a block away from the restaurant asking if we tipped her. Which we did, but we found it so unprofessional.

    After less than stellar service the previous night at The Mission Kierland, we were VERY happy with the friendly service we got from Kimberly at Culinary Dropout. The staff that was hosting was great, too. I'm very claustrophobic & it's helpful to sit by a window. I've had trouble getting that to happen in the past - even at this location - but the ladies hosting last night we're excellent and made that happen for us! Food was great & portions are fairly large. It's always fun for me to order the "Paperbag Special" which is usually some crappy, low-end brew but it always makes for a lot of laughs. The mud pie for dessert was phenomenal! People visiting the area always ask to go to Culinary Dropout & we're always happy to take them! Thanks to Kimberly for a great service experience!

    Ive always said, a host can set the tone. The hostesses were very friendly and greeted us right away. The waitress was amazing and really great. The food was really good, I had the pulled pork nachos, my husband and niece had burger. Both said the burgers were delicious but the portion of fries were small so he asked they could get more to the staff that brought us our food. Her comment after bringing it was that the fries were on the house but were portioned and gave us some extra but in the future they would not be. Like wait, fries, the most inexpensive side item? It’s not like she brought a basket of fries but a small container for 3 people. Needless to say he wasn’t happy with the unnecessary comment. Our waitress apologized, which she had no need to, we appreciate her for being understanding and willingness to offer. Other than that it was a good experience.

    Server kept interrupting our conversation every time he came over (which was A LOT) then we sat waiting for our check for about 10 minutes after our plates had been cleared. Food was not cooked properly (again) and way overpriced. I had a cheeseburger and the patty was thinner than that at MacDonalds. In hindsight, MacDonald’s would have been better and better priced. My friend’s salad was completely unmentionable. This was my last attempt at Culinary Dropout after three grossly inconsistent experiences. Not coming again.

    We had never been to the Quarter's C.D., & even tho' we had a reservation, we had to wait to be seated. Hostess staff was not at all friendly or welcoming. We were finally seated next to the live band platform which would not have been appropriate for patrons "of a certain age". We asked to be moved, hostess did next to nothing, but our server finally found us room at a row of high top tables, not our 1st choice. Food came quickly, it was quite good, but the seating situation & the noise level, especially when the band began to play made Culinary Depot a less than prime spot for us to dine.

    Last night at Culinary Dropout was disappointing. This was our first time at this location. The staff appeared cranky and were very short, almost rude. There were 6 of us and we ordered the onion dip, as we love it, and asked for extra chips so we can all get some. They brought 8 extra chips. I asked for more, once we quickly finished the original I got a huge attitude. We ordered the smoked salmon dip. They should not call it a dip if it is plated alone with nothing to eat it. Our server was nice but was agitated when we would ask for something. She was overloaded with tables. Just overall a disappointing evening

    We went on Sunday for brunch. Parking was a bit hectic, so we ended up using the Valet parking right across from the restaurant. Menu for brunch items was pretty limited. We still enjoyed our food, and the Waitress was wonderful helping with suggestions. Her name was Jamie.

    In the beginning everything was fine and dandy with our waiter, but after we received our food I had to chase down the waiter for almost everything I needed including the bill. It was like we will be ignored although the waiter will often come to several tables around us.
