| - Well to give you some background information on myself, I am a server and I have been in the restaurant industry for over 5 years. I went to Culinary Dropout with my family on a Sunday evening. This was quite a trip for us because we all live in the ahwatukee area, so that is about a 30-35 minute drive on the freeway. We were all excited about coming to culinary dropout, and some of our group had already been here before. Well sadly this experience was far from great. First of all, it took about 15 minutes for our table to be greeted, and then about 15 minutes more for us to receive our drinks. About a half hour later the last two of our group showed up, and then they had to ask a manager for help before any of us EVEN SAW our server. We order shots for the whole table and that was a huge hassle. You would think that if you had a table of 8, and they are willing to spend a lot of money at your restaurant you would make sure they were taken care of, but no. And too make things a worse it was hard to tell if they were even running the A/C. It is the end of May in Arizona so of course its going to be hot. But when i go to a nice restaurant and expect to pay a good amount of money, i shouldn't be sweating through the entire meal. When we ordered our food that luckily all came quickly, and it was all very delicious. The food was okay, and I wasn't very impressed. I ordered the meatloaf, and that was good, but anyone can up ketchup on meatloaf and its delicious! My fiance got the the turkey pastrami sandwich it was good, but mostly it tasted like a normal turkey sandwich, but the side salad with ranch was delicious! Sadly the service or lack there of, really made the whole experience more frustrating rather then enjoyable. We were there for over 2 hours and saw our server about 3-4 times. She seemed very overwhelmed with the tables she had to serve. It honestly seemed that she had too big of a section for one server to handle. Maybe ill give this place another chance for a date, but never again for a larger group of people. Just be warned if you come here it will take a while for anything!!!!!!
