| - Only fun friends allowed! This is where you go if you want to share creative dishes for brunch or late night shenanigans, have drinks, play games, or just watch sports.
Culinary Dropout is at the forefront of the next wave of American restaurants, that cross between summer backyard bbq, drinking games with your friends, mixed in with a sports bar and maybe even a live band on some nights. Kinda hard to describe it, other than to say they have it all!
There's indoor seating and covered outdoor seating. There's a mural of Amy Winehouse, Freddie Mercury and Johnny Cash done up in Mr. Brainwash style. Ping pong tables, corn hole, foosball, shuffleboard.
Drinks:
Hijinx & Rye ($11 - Bulleit Rye, Blackberry, Jaime Torres Valencia Orange, Allspice Spritz) - Good if you like your rye with some berry fruitness. A good balance of sweet and fruity but not too too sweet and fruity.
Grub:
House Potato Chips w/ Onion Dip ($6) - Loved the housemade potato chips, they were the perfect thickness for dipping, lightly salted. The onion dip was a little on the creamier side. It would have been perfect if it had a little more onion kick.
Cap'n Crunch Crusted French Toast (Cereal Milk Custard, Fresh Blackberry) - Tasted great but it had the potential to be so much more. They ground up the Cap'n Crunch to powder form and then dip and coat the bread in it. It tasted like Cap'n Crunch but I think it could have been more bangin' if they sprinkled some Cap'n Crunch pieces on the top or if they imbedded some in the side of the bread before throwing it on the grill. If they didn't tell you it was Cap'n Crunch, you would not have been able to tell by just looking at it. It's dusted with powdered sugar and you get a few blackberries and syrup.
Fried Chicken ($16 - Honey Drizzle Buttermilk Biscuit, Coleslaw, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy) - Wow! The fried chicken here is all that!!! Well seasoned, light, flaky crust with juicy chicken on the inside. Cooked perfectly! They give you three large pieces (breast, drumstick, thigh) and I could barely finish it all. The biscuit was good also, the honey drizzle is more subtle than in your face sweet, but a nice touch vs. your standard biscuit. Coleslaw was alright, mashed potatoes were alright. Get this dish either for yourself or to share!
What do I need to try next time? The Soft Pretzels with Provolone Fondue and the Grilled Cheese Sliders.
They also have burgers, salads, mussels, oysters, charcuterie, cheese, ribs, fish & chips, monkey bread, sweet caramel custard and breakfast on the weekends along with other items.
I went to the Tempe location so that crowd skews a little younger being nearby ASU. The location is huge.
I really enjoyed the vibe here. If you're looking for food and fun at moderate prices, you'll need to check out one of their locations!
