This was our first time here. Of course we found it on Yelp with great rating, so we wanted to try it out. Culinary Dropout is located in a huge building with indoor and outdoor seating. You can make reservations, but who would have thought on a Tuesday night at 7pm there would still be a 30 minute wait to be seated. The resturant was alive with lots of activity. Loud music tonight and a really good mix of young and old enjoying their meals. I already posted the menu. How can you not want to try a place called Culinary Dropout? We got seated quicker than 30 minutes and Wyatt our waiter was right there getting our drink orders and explaining the menu. We were sitting at a round wooden table with really comfortable chairs. The atmosphere is very fun, but loud. What do you expect from a packed restaurant. I could hear my husband so the noise level didn't interfere with our conversation. Dinner OMG, we started with the pretzels and cheese. About 20 soft round pieces of pretzel which just about melted in your mouth. I got the meatloaf which was the best meatloaf I have had in the Phoenix area. My husband had a late lunch and he had the grinder. We really enjoyed ourselves. They do have live music and other events. I definitely want to go back with a whole group of friends. Good food, great services (thanks Wyatt) good times.
