   Thanks! Food and service always on point. Shift manager checked in on us as well. I tried the French toast for the first time. How was it? It will not be the last time for sure. So good.

   Nice place. Enjoyed the atmosphere. They had live music which was cool. The staff was all so helpful and friendly. The seats were comfortable. It was a bit loud. The food was good, wasn't exceptional. Except for the salmon dip appetizer......that was exceptional. Two people in our group had the fried chicken. They loved the flavor on that. I had the Korean style ribeye cap. So happy I ordered with the sauce on the side as it was too spicy for my enjoyment. But the meat and vegetables were good and perfectly cooked as I wanted.

   Made a reservation for two lounge areas of which neither were available. Took an hour to get drinks, took two and a half hours to have lunch… not because we wanted it to take that long but because it took that long!

   Culinary is a fun venue. It has good food, although a bit pricey. Our server Lucas was attentive but not intrusive. We got our food quickly, but we were not rushed.

   The service was terrible, server seemed like he was in a rush, dropped off drinks but didn’t even bother to offer us straws. Didn’t ask if we wanted any drink refill, unfortunately was forced to another server for a refill.

    Music way too loud, with high metal ceiling - difficult to converse. Female wait staff disrespectful to women- breast visible, shirt tight shirks- offensive. Food main entrees ordered, not available. Manager came to table to apologize ⭐️ said our entrees would be comped- they were not, had to pay full bill. Would not have gone out $$$ for meatloaf and fried chicken, only entrees still available at 5:25 pm. Plus we watched our food and waved at waitstaff for 10 minutes to get silverware and napkin after food was served. Will not recommend or return. Only plus was that the Mother’s Day special cocktail was very good.

    The service was ok. I had to go get a water refill after our server said she’d bring me more water. The prime beef cheesesteak had no flavor and salt and pepper didn’t help it. For the price, I wouldn’t order it again. The fried chicken dish was good.

    Did not have the greatest of experiences at this location. Third time dining here and having extremely slow service, “the kitchen was backed up” again. Took an hour to receive food. When food was served the meal was very lackluster, and truthfully probably a dish that needs to be removed from the menu all together. Perhaps they were running low on ingredients due to graduation and Mother’s day weekend, but it would be better to disclose this than serve poor quality dishes. The assistant manager did take steps to remedy the issue, which was considerate and deserves recognition. Just be prepared for hit or miss dining when choosing this location

    It took the server 30 mins to get us water and then it took the server an additional 20 minutes to get our drink and appetizer orders. Even though it took them a long time to wait on us, we constantly felt rushed as they were nagging us to close out our bill after our entrees got to the table. They probably asked me 5 times if we were ready to close out our tab…once while we were in the middle of eating our entrees and 2 hours before last call. The place wasn’t even full. We just felt very rushed and like a last priority to the wait staff. Very disappointed in the service and the attitude of the wait staff.

    Always had a hard time getting decent hour reservations here and now I know why. Parking was packed on a Saturday night but once you got in you realize how big this place is. Ambience was fantastic. They had a DJ playing some sweet toons. Service was excellent from beginning to end. Everything is made from scratch here which was really awesome. Not only was it made from scratch but it was DELICIOIUS! We started out with pretzels and provolone cheese dip...Amazing. I then ordered the 36 hr. pork ribs which came in a jalapeno and molasses BBQ sauce.. I'll just say it. These were probably some of the best ribs I've ever had. Maybe even better than my own and that is saying a lot. Wife had the rainbow trout in which she said seemed like they just pulled it out of the lake. I've been in Tucson for 2 years now and I'm slapping myself for not coming here sooner. Highly recommend. Now one of my favorite places to eat. Naturally we will be back. JUST DO IT!

    Culinary Dropout used to be my favorite restaurant. Are the portions smaller? My sandwich was good but not much inside the bun. Our server was very good. I still love the roomy and cheerful atmosphere. We will return for those reasons.

    The service was wonderful and overall the food was very good. Two of us ordered the fried chicken dinners with mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were cold. We asked for extra gravy in which that was pretty hot which made up for it. Also, we would’ve preferred chicken gravy but that gravy was really good.

    The quality of the food was good, but the service was close to horrible. I watched the server pass our table numerous times to assist the customers next to us. She never refilled our water glasses or ask if we wanted dessert or anything. Each time that she came over, she had to be called over by someone from my table! We didn’t care to spend more money than we did because she service wasn’t nice. Also, there restaurant wasn’t busy at all for the overlook of my table.
