   Delish. The appetizers are a must. We had 4 different entrees at our table and each was perfectly cooked and delish. We were greeted, checked on and served almost to perfection. Great dining experience.

   Culinary Dropout - TucsonResponded 1 day agoThis is wonderful to hear! So happy when you can have such a great experience from start to finish. We hope to have you back soon and continue to give you that :)

   Always great vibes & good service, but food can be hit or miss. Sometimes its a little too cold, something they forget parts for whatever you ordered. The dj on Saturdays is great. The drinks are mostly always good.

   Your atmosphere, ping pong tables, and service are all great. I find the menu limited and the taste not exceptional. Wedge salad was underwhelming.

    Love the meatloaf mashed potatoes with green beans. Jackson is our favorite waiter. It was my wife’s birthday so they give us complimentary dessert. Monkey bread was yummy

    Culinary Dropout - TucsonResponded on July 28, 2022Thank you for celebrating your special event with us. Jackson indeed has indeed been a wonderful addition to our FRC family. We appreciate you!

    We four ladies needed lunch after a business meeting. We were seated exa toy where requested and treated royally. Delicious food and fabulous service! The pretzel bites with the cheese fondue are superb and more than enough to share with four people. The chicken and barbecue salad is delicious and enjoyed by two of us. Another lady raved about the wedge salad. All in all, a wonderful luncheon experience!

    The fondue with pretzels was great. We didn’t like the burger but enjoyed the chopped salad. It was noisy even mid afternoon so at night it would be very loud but a fun place.

    Culinary Dropout - TucsonResponded on July 26, 2022Pretzels are definitely our most popular item on our menu! Sorry to hear you didn't like your burger, please feel free to let us know in the future as we can customize it however you'd prefer. And we would love to do so :) We appreciate the review and hope to see you soon!

    Our family ate at Culinary Dropout for the first time, and it had exceptional food and service. We also enjoyed the bean bag toss game after dinner. Prices were high enough that we will only be back to celebrate another birthday or special occasion.

    Culinary Dropout - TucsonResponded on July 12, 2022Connie, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Glad you were able to have such an exceptional experience with us. We do offer promotions through our Ebites program and also offer a Happy Hour from Monday-Friday 2p-4p. Whatever the reason, we are happy to have you back!

    The establishment needs refurbishing. A chair had to be replaced because it was so rickety. The tables had crumbs on it, and it looked shabby, not shabby sheak. Food was nothing exceptional. We won’t be back to pay those prices.

    Arrived 6:30, seated 6:32, ordered drinks and an app 6:37. App showed up: 6:45. PLATES FOR THE APP never showed up (had to flag down a bus boy). My drink arrived 6:59, while the drink my guest arrived 7:40. Waiter totally ignored us but fawned over the four person table beside us. I mean literally ignored. My guest waved her arms and called his name and he looked over and then WALKED AWAY. Who does that? When he did show up again it was to really pressure us to order our entrees before our drinks even came. That's not what I would call service by any stretch of the imagination. Food arrived: around 7:50-8pm. Waiter never came to check on us or refill water (left that up to the bus boys and people working other sections). Check requested: 8:25 (we ate fast to gtfo). Check arrived: 8:35. We finally left around 9, our meal having taken so long that our other evening plans had to be postponed. Bad or slow service is one thing, and I understand given that it was a weekend, but our waiter was dismissive, rude, didn't check on us at all, and didn't bring over our orders. A manager did apologize and I think she comped part of my friend's order but our waiter never did and in fact acted like we were a bother to him. We still tipped 21% btw but it will be a long time before I go back there. If ever.

    Seems like the waitresses are looking more and more skimpy nowadays at this place. Less family oriented and less appealing. It’s like a Hooters but from top to bottom, moving on to a more modest eatery.

    Culinary Dropout - TucsonResponded on June 21, 2022Andrew, thank you for taking the time to share. That's definitely not the impression we want to give to our guests. We do encourage our staff to express themselves, but never at the expense of our guests. We are in fact a family restaurant and take a lot of pride and joy in having such a wide range of people join us on a daily basis. We will be sure to follow up with any staff that may send the wrong message. We appreciate you and genuinely hope to see you again soon!

    The music is much too loud to converse with others. I don’t think this level of noise appeals to most people The menu os quite limited but the food is tasty

    Culinary Dropout - TucsonResponded on June 21, 2022Hi there! It does tend to get a bit noisy. We are more than willing to accommodate whenever possible. I'm sorry we couldn't do that for you during your visit with us. I encourage you to allow us to do that for you the next time. If we can sit you somewhere more quiet, we would love to do so. As far as the food goes, we are happy to make any modifications or even construct something for you as we are a scratch kitchen and can certainly offer more than what you may just see on the menu. We can be pretty creative and flexible! You'll just have to let us know. Thank you for taking the time to share. Hope to see you soon!

    Very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, it was too warm inside and a little uncomfortable. Flies swarming food was unpleasant because doors were wide open. Otherwise, nice server and good food.

    Culinary Dropout - TucsonResponded on June 14, 2022Thank you for the 4 star review! Although we do have an open concept we are working hard to ensure we can get ahead of some of the issues the hot summer brings. We are continuing to keep doors from inside to outside closed as much as possible, which has made a huge difference already and regulate temperatures inside to be more comfortable. We have installed misters outside and have kept the shades down for guests who still would love to enjoy the covered patio. We hope to see you again soon and that you notice the difference with the changes. Happy to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere and the food as well! Stay cool :)
