| - Possibly my favorite restaurant in the Phoenix/Tempe area.
Yelpers, Culinary Dropout is the food adventure you've been waiting for.
The portions here are massive, and so is the venue. I think they may have converted an old warehouse at one point into this culinary haven. They have a MASSIVE indoor space with dozens of tables, and a huge bar. But it gets better...that space is DOUBLED with their outdoor space that has a roof, fans with misters, and so much more seats everywhere!
But enough about this gorgeous space, let's talk about the food. This is delicious, flavorful new American cuisine with a southern flair and massive portions.
If you're here with at least three other friends, I would recommend at least the pretzel buns with fondue. It's delicious but they're massive buns and fill you up pretty quickly. (You've been warned!)
I split the 36-hour rib and an order of the fried chicken with my girlfriend. Our waitress was kind enough to make each a half order and put them on multiple plates for us. Definitely didn't expect that, but it's always nice when it happens!
Let's talk about the ribs. They were amazing. Juicy, succulent -- they just fell from the bones. Packed with flavor from the seasoning and rub they use. I still dream about the ribs sometimes.
The fried chicken was pretty delicious as well, but it definitely didn't compare to the ribs.
If you're here with just one other person, I would suggest an appetizer (like the pretzel buns) and then just share the ribs. Maybe get a couple of drinks too, but that's all you need.
Seriously, I need to come back and try their entire menu.
It definitely also looks like they have space/rooms that could be used as rentals for big groups. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone.
