At Culinary Dropout, raise your glass to friends coming together. A place where food and music are life. Join us at happy hour for ice cold beer and our famous soft pretzels with provolone fondue. At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

    They took so long today to bring us food. Around 40 min or more. Also my salmon had a risotto under it that tasted burned. It was disappointing.

    First time, hope it wont be my last. I ordered the Steak Frites, the fries and arugula salad were okay, but the steak was exceptional, tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Service was very good.

    I think we misjudged the vibe… def wish we were seated indoors. Otherwise, our server really made us comfortable. We had our toddler (did I mention we didn’t get the vibe?) and she was incredibly helpful with the menu, let him blow out the damn table candles like seriously such a sweetheart. Food never misses here

    Love everything about this place, especially the food. The only downside is the volume. When the restaurant is full it is very loud, making it hard to carry on a conversation.

    Wow thank you so much Steve!

    Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!

    The restaurant consistently provides a solid and enjoyable dining experience with exceptional service and delectable food. The staff is always exceptionally friendly and attentive. For sure one of my favorite spots at the Domain or this side of Austin in general.

    Reception was very helpful, wait staff was good, but overall food quality was disappointing. Most of us felt our meals were mediocre at best.
