The ambience, the staff & food were all excellent. Some Yelp review have critiqued the loud atmosphere, but I found that that wasn't a problem. The pretzels to start with were carbtastic, if anything a little salty. I ordered the Fried Chicken & even though the waitress warned it would take a bit longer, it actually came out at the same time as the Pub burger (which my friend ordered) in less than 15 minutes. The chicken had amazing flavor, but wasn't easy to eat & had a LOT of bones. The honey biscuit was flavorful as well, and the coleslaw added fresh, crunchy texture to the mix.
I visited again the next week with a huge group of friends & wasn't as hungry as I was the previous week, so I ordered the pretzels & split a chicken caesar salad. My second experience at Culinary Dropout was disappointing. The chicken caesar was extremely poor, they forgot the chicken & there were very few croutons. That second experience made me edit my previous review; I don't need to go back to Culinary Dropout again.
