Culinary Dropout

Some friends and I went for brunch after a short run. It was super empty when we got there so there wasn't a wait for a table. The space is gigantic and there are lots of windows to let the sun in.I enjoyed the food, something about there potatoes was just spot on 10/10. We also got some of the French toast, my friends said it was too sweet but I said shove it and ate their portion too lol.The wait was kind of long to order and get items for how slow it was, but I think the person was in training? Also at the end, my friend was charged for her food and mine on her card even though the checks were separate, so we had to wait to work that out before leaving as well.

Great restaurant for just about anything! Perfect for hang outs, family dinners, private parties, and date nights.Culinary Dropout has delicious food and drinks! Great selection on starters and entrees. Excellent service throughout and definitely appreciate the additional entertainment

This was our third time here over the years, this time we brought out pups for a late lunch. The big main area is dog friendly given it is simply a 'covered patio'. We had GREAT service this time, the young man waiting on us was a gem and on point.The crispy brussels sprouts on the menu are where it is at. I can literally eat an entire bowl myself. My husband ordered the Steak Frites and I ordered the Chix Katsu sandwich. Fries were a bit old/cold but the sandwich was great. My husbands fries were from the same batch as mine but he said his steak was good.Great place to meet people/gatherings.

Great spot. Ordered the steak and it was super good. The portions were a little small, reason for the four stars.Service was greatAmbiance is awesome.

Culinary Dropout is an excellent venue for hosting large gatherings. This particular spot in Tucson offers ample space, a contemporary design, and modern amenities. I prefer this location over any in the Phoenix area. The staff consistently provide a warm and friendly atmosphere, and the food is quite enjoyable. I will certainly return, especially when I have friends visiting, as this venue is perfect for big celebrations.

Went here during weekday for Christmas event with coworkers. The food especially appetizer for tahini dip was delicious. Very strong in flavor and the bread that came with it was perfectly cooked and not too crunchy or soft. Didn't order any main course but the people who did looked amazing and said it was delicious. I think service was extremely disappointing. We had to ask multiple times to check on drinks and apps. It got to the point where we thought they forgot a couple times. Said they didn't have happy hour when there is a menu online. Turns out happy only at bar so read the menu carefully and as a heads up. Wish they would have said that then to say they had none. Waitress left and said someone else would take over. It took about 30mins for anyone to check on us. The ambiance of the establishment is perfect though for group settings and has plenty of games and open space! Overall not the worst place I think it's definitely perfect for big groups. Foods great but service could improve.

I have been wanting to try for so long! Me and my mom shared apps. Whipped feta dip, pigs in a blanket and Brussels sprouts. Then the mud pie desert. It was pretty busy, yet the service was great. The place is bigger than I thought, with multiple sections some full and some cleared out. My grandma got the asian salad, she got upset because of the spice and vinegary dressing, as she has esophagus issues. Her name is Karen, and she acts like a Karen sometimes, still love her but it's just her perspective and generation I guess. They were so kind and took the salad off the bill because she did not like it. They were very calm and polite and talked to her about it. She has never really had a customer service job so I she doesn't always understand. The staff were great and our server was so sweet and gorgeous! I want to come back with my friends for sure! I need to try the soft pretzels next. I love the environment and vibe of Culinary Dropout. The hosts are also so helpful and were able to find the yelp water bottle I left under the table. Thank to all of the staff working, you were great! I loved the flavors and uniqueness of the food. Our kind server explained how everything was made from scratch. To me it tasted like it was very fresh. The brussels sprouts were seasoned perfectly, the mud pie had a really good chocolate coffee flavor with a buttery crust. Love it!

If you are looking for a very large place to host an event or friends, this is your place. With a massive indoor/outdoor space, it offers many activities such as ping-pong and cornhole.Went here for a large family gathering and the space and staff allowed for flexibility for the family to have a chill experience out at a restaurant. While we had a nice time, and the staff was attentive, the rest of the experience left a gap in my hopes and expectations for a chain that also owns one of my favorite vegan places, Flower Child. The first gap was the ambiance/acoustics, I see many people complain about it being loud, but loud is typically ok, terrible acoustics is not my thing. With music playing on one end of the restaurant, a live musician on the other, and a tin interior - my brain was rattled. I lost my voice trying to converse with my friends directly across from me. Food was my second gap - while attempting to serve elevated American, I found most appetizers did not meet expectations. From the brussels sprouts to the pretzel bites to the pigs in a blanket, all were either too rich or too bland. The part that let me down the most was the main - I ordered the vegan curry. Hoping to have something that could have been inspired by Flower Child, I was sorely disappointed. Basically a canned coconut broth whipped up with an amazing amount of salt, then poured over black rice and with roasted cauliflower that got soggy in the broth. Top it off with a random slice of roasted sweet potato. I have no idea what regional cuisine they were inspired by, but it was not good. I never leave food on the table, but I couldn't finish it.The food and drinks were fine. The beer selection was standardized and while there were some nice local offerings, I would have expected many more for the size of this restaurant.

We went there for dinner, and the servers were terrific. They greeted us promptly and gave great recommendations for food. We tried the M.A.C burger and Peking duck and shrimp fried rice, which were delicious. What made it the perfect night was the beautifully lit candles.

I went into culinary on my day off with my wife for a nice evening and we were met with an amazing experience. I can't tell you the last time i truly enjoyed a night out this much. The food is phenomenal, their fried chicken was delicious and the mashed potatoes made me want seconds and thirds. The service was amazing, A nice young woman named Paloma helped us out and if she is always our server you better guarantee we're coming back! I can't recommend this place enough the atmosphere is great with games and such for all ages to enjoy. I highly recommend this place!
