The food is phenomenal! Came during lunch on a Tuesday, and it was not busy at all. Had reservations made, and our party was immediately sat upon arrival. Our waitress was super friendly and efficient. I ordered their chopped chicken salad with a side of fries. I was first thrown off by the chicken being COLD. I thought it would be warm chicken, but it was cold. Either way, the salad was DELICIOUS! It already comes with the dressing mixed in, but they did not go overboard with the dressing, which I appreciated. The whole salad tasted refreshing and delicious. The fries were very crispy and warm. Others in my group all state that their food was delicious as well. They ordered steak and fries, fish and chips, and their chicken sandwich. The whole restaurant was very chill and chic. Open floor plan with plenty of seating options, including outside on their patios. They are located southend uptown, so parking garage or side street parking. I will definitely be returning.
I think I got hooked. :)) I really like the combination of ingredients on food and cocktails. Seems that they have a little bit for everyone. I love the Korean Style Ribeye Cap and the Spicy Crispy Shrimp Bites. Literally a must try. To be honest, their grill veggies are pretty tasty too. Be a try-sexual, try literally anything! Plenty of tables for large and small group. They also have booth seats and outdoor seats. Bar is big, interiors are cozy and grand, vibes are bubbly Prices pretty reasonable. I like the atmosphere here and the food was not disappointed. I would definitely recommend Culinary Dropout to everyone I know and also will be back. I still have to try the rest of the menus ]]. Wish yall business thriving in quality. 3
Malorie was our server and she was really good!! The food was 10/10. We had the steak frites, spicy shrimp crispy rice and the roasted Salmon. Highly recommended. Nice easy Sunday evening dinner.
I made a reservation for 545pm on a Friday night. However, there was seating available at that time. Service was phenomenal, he checked on us frequently, answered questions, made suggestions and was very friendly. The drinks and food were simply amazing!!! The environment is very nice, upscale and moody. I would definitely come back here! Apparently there is one in Richmond, VA too.
Came here while in town for a conference and found this online. We really enjoyed our dinner! Our server, Anderson, was so great! He made great recommendations, talked to us a little about the area and where he was from, and was super attentive! I ordered the Turkey Pastrami on a homemade pretzel bun with a side salad and a Sicilian Lemonade mocktail! I was so pleased with my choice! The pretzel bun was so fresh and soft, the meat was well flavored and I liked the dressing on the side as recommended by our server. The drink was good too, tasted crisp and refreshing, and looked pretty! Loved the vibe here, very hip and open! Would highly recommend!
We went to Culinary Dropout for a company dinner — and this was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Charlotte. The atmosphere is great, the food was phenomenal and our server, Jill, did a great job taking care of our table of 20. Although I made the sad mistake of NOT listening to Jill’s advice, the friend chicken dinner was universally loved by everyone else at the table. Looking forward to coming back!
The service was wonderful the waitress was attentive. Amanda was a pleasure to have as a waitress and Tyler was very kind when dealing with us. These kind of staff members make the experience worth visiting. You guys are such a blessing to the hospitality world.
Wow, this place was great. The food and drinks were awesome. The menu choices were great. We had the BBQ pork belly nachos. They were amazing. We couldn't even finish them because it was huge. We also had the pretzel bites. They were really good. To drink, we had the Abandoned Cadillac and the Pretty Easy. Both were great. Highly recommend this place.
