  “I stopped by Culinary Dropout on 7th Street after work for a solo happy hour and had such a great experience. I grabbed a seat at the bar, and Ms.Ronnie made the entire visit exceptional with friendly, attentive service and great recommendations. The happy hour menu was fantastic. I ordered the Maui Wowie, an Old Fashioned, the crispy Brussels sprouts, and the crunchy chicken tacos, and every single item was delicious. The drinks were well-balanced, flavorful, and perfectly made, while the food was fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for unwinding after a long workday. Even dining alone felt enjoyable thanks to the great service and upbeat vibe. If you’re thinking about trying Culinary Dropout for the first time, I highly recommend the 7th Street Phoenix location. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. A special thank you to Ronnie for making the experience memorable. I’ll definitely be back!🌟☺️”

  “I did order food 30 minutes before closing. The battered fish was salty and way too much breading. The slaw was sweet and saucy (weird) the salmon that was placed with all the other flavors into a container tasted good separate, but not all together. The French fry’s were limp. The battered fish was not cooked all the way, still had wet batter. The salmon was cooked well. I like the atmosphere, the food just wasn’t all that great. Was not worth $54.”

  “If you are looking for a venue that perfectly balances a high-energy "industrial-cool" vibe with seamless professional service, Culinary Dropout at The Yard on 7th Street is a standout. Having visited both the Scottsdale and Phoenix …”

  “I’ve heard great things about the place and wanted to go for years. Definitely worth the hype and the food is worth the price. Loved the Korean short ribs, steak frites, and take two mango drink (I can’t remember the name).”

  “Culinary Dropout completely impressed me with how fantastic the food was. Every dish I tried tasted incredible. It is a great place for bigger groups too. We were six people and I noticed even larger tables enjoying themselves. The staff …”

  “Food was amazing and service was great. I had the salmon. I also opted for the mud pie. Which was really good but very rich. The experience and atmosphere was nice but a bit noisy. And the outdoor heaters smelled like propane. But the server quickly came over and turned them off. All in all it was a great experience. I would definitely go back again. And I don't blame the restaurant for the outdoor heaters. I think it's nice that they have those. And the fireplaces they have as well. I think that's just the nature of having something like that as you will have to deal with stuff like that from time to time. Definitely recommend.”

  “Beautiful huge restaurant. Space to eat and hang out. Service was amazing! The food was a little lacking though. We were a party of 10 and only half liked their meals. I probably wouldn’t visit again.”

  “It’s was alright. The service was great and we were well taken care of. Bethany took great care of us even though she was very busy. Drinks - 8/10, they were all pretty good for the price Atmosphere - 10/10 fun, good music. A bit crowded but to be expected and I don’t knock stars off for that. Food - 4/10 it was just okay. It wasn’t bad nor inedible. But my burger was well done and a bit dry (ordered medium). The cheese was just basic American cheese but for a $20 burger I was expecting something a bit nicer. My friends got the fish and chips. They said it was good but there were only two very small pieces of fish. Like maybe 5 bites? The ribs were also good but nothing special. The problem I have is this food was no better than your local Chilis or Red Robin chain but more expensive. I wouldn’t go back for dinner, but I’d happily go back for drinks and some soft pretzels (those WERE 10/10).”
