| - This is one of my favorite places to lunch while visiting the Phoenix area, although located in Scottsdale. It's not too far of a drive for great food. They really deserve 4.5 Stars, but it could be just that I prefer my food seasoned more.
Their menu is diversified, ingredients fresh, servers and kitchen accommodating, the vibe is hip and open. My son ordered the huge, over-the-top yummy rack of JalapeƱo Ribs, which didn't seem too spicy. They were meaty, tender, moist and flavorful. That's what I'm ordering my next visit! I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken that was lightly drizzled with Honey, served with Mashed Potatoes, Biscuit and I added a side of Brussel Sprouts. The Sprouts are served cold, which I felt did not compliment their flavor. The waiter was kind enough to heat them, but they were still slightly warm. The Chicken could have benefited from a bit more seasoning, although it was tender and moist. My husband ordered the Mac Burger, which he said was quite tasty. They do have supreme French Fries and I'm not easily impressed with Fries.
All in all, the food was so good that we didn't even mind the the slow service from a first day wait staff who did one terrific job, considering he was so new. He was friendly and had great personality. Culinary Drop is our Scottsdale go-to that never lets us down.
