"Culinary Dropout" might as well be the poster child for the quintessential cool, hip eatery that every college town dreams of. Located within a stone's throw of Arizona State University, this restaurant pulses with the vibrant energy of its young, eclectic patrons. The atmosphere is nothing short of electric, buzzing with the chatter of students and the eclectic soundscape of indie music and clinking glasses. The menu at Culinary Dropout is a delightful rebellion against conventional dining. Every dish feels like a creative experiment that’s succeeded wildly—comfort food with a gourmet twist that tempts the adventurous and satisfies the soul. From their perfectly crispy honey-drizzled chicken to the rebellious and rich pulled pork nachos, every bite is a testament to culinary whimsy. But let’s not forget the drinks. This place serves up cocktails that are as much a feast for the eyes as they are for the palate. Whether you're sipping a smoky whiskey concoction or a bright, herb-infused gin cocktail, each drink is crafted with the kind of flair that complements the daring dishes. In essence, Culinary Dropout is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination. It's where you go to unwind, feast, and enjoy the company of friends in a setting that's as lively and forward-thinking as its clientele. Whether you're a college student looking for a fun night out or a foodie in search of your next great meal, Culinary Dropout doesn't just serve food and drinks—it delivers an experience.
I came here for a birthday this past Saturday with my friend and service was just amazing. The girl was super sweet and gave me a complimentary little ice cream with bread cake, it was delicious. The food came out super well cooked and possibly one of the best places I’ve had this year! I recommend trying the shrimp dish, the sauce was so good, I’ve never tasted anything like it before.
We visited from out of state and had a wonderful young lady serve us! Ask for Sidney! You won’t be disappointed. Service was great and food was too.
