The Fox food empire has done it again. With the demise of the Pink Taco (who could have forecasted that???) and their recently-emptied location, Culinary Dropout moved in to offer great American food at reasonable prices.
The menu is fairly limited, but with multiple iterations of cheeseburgers, very good fries, and great appetizers, there are more than enough options for the casual diners who find themselves on the Water Front. Even though the burger and the fries were very good, I found the appetizers to be the best part of the meal. There is an impressive assortment of meats and cheeses, so you can customize your own tapas if that is what you're into. If you're not in the mood for a meat-and-cheese appetizer, the pretzel fondue is definitely worth a shot. The homemade pretzels were awesome and the cheese dip puts traditional nacho cheese to shame.
I ended up at the restaurant on a random Wednesday night and the place was packed. I feel pretty comfortable saying that given the good drink list, and affordable good food, you should expect to wait for a table unless you like to eat dinner early.
