Overall, the experience was good. The food was tasty and the price was very reasonable.
Some drawbacks...
It was VERY loud and not a good place to go if you are wanting conversation with the person you're dining with.
During the summer in Arizona, I think it is important to have a break from the heat. Unfortunately, the evening we ate at Culinary Dropout it was miserable. The restaurant was so hot. Our waiter was sweating and complaining that they had the "garage bar doors" open. It was unbearable!
I will return to the restaurant again- but not until the temperature drops 50 degrees or so. Hard to enjoy your food from a sweaty server and be uncomfortably hot yourself.
