Culinary Dropout

Nice place, good food, sweet waiters

Great restaurant the French dip is best I have ever had and same with mud pie dessert!!!

The difference in this location and the one in Gilbert is night and day. Will never be back to this one. First of all the girls at the host stand are rude. Second they forgot my order which I can forgive mistakes happen whatever. Third when I did get my order, it was all packed individually like the kitchen didn’t bother putting it on my food, I don’t remember asking for that and I’ve ordered the same meal 3 times in Gilbert and they never packed it like that. Hell, if I knew they would do that I wouldn’t have tipped because I could go back there and do that my self. Super annoying. I think I’ve even gotten better service in snobby Scottsdale. Will not be back.

The building is kinda funky, lots of rooms within rooms but also trendy and has good mood lighting. Lots of buzzing going on and the menu seems thought out with comfort food favorites. I think the fried chicken is one of their dishes that can be excellent when made well but if they’re having an off day, can also be underwhelming. They made me a ginger ale which was really accommodating.

Literally the best place in Tempe to grab a bite to eat! The ambiance is so cool and I would definitely come back for some quality chow. Only wishing I had gotten more chicken and egg and biscuit! 10/10 RECOMMEND

The ambiance was vibrant, the service attentive, and the food presented a creative twist on dishes. Although there's always room for improvement, it was a delightful dining experience that I'd gladly repeat.

Culinary Dropout has to be my absolute new favorite restaurant! I travel the majority of the year for my job and I'm always looking for somewhere new to try. The vibe is very cool and eclectic.. the staff are simply amazing and the FOOD... MY GOD the food is absolutely delicious!!! You HAVE TO GO if you haven't been before!!!
