    We had another spectacular night at Culinary Dropouts. It was quite busy, which was handled beautifully by the spectacular hostess team: Autumn, Camille, and Kayla. Our waitress, Hannah, is a real pro, and we had everything just the way we like it. Our favorite Manager, Alli, stopped by to ensure we were happy. What a fabulous night. Thank you Culinary Dropouts.

    Huge venue, cool decor, awesome service (shout out to Angel who took care of us in the back covered patio area!). Plenty of appetizers big enough for sharing. The standouts were the house chips, the whipped feta, the pretzel & cheese, the popcorn chicken, the spicy shrimp rice. By the time I got my entree, I was so full lol. I got the Crispy Chicken Katsu sandwich. I loveddddd the toasted milk bread. Will be back for sure
