Culinary Dropout absolutely delivered. Despite the bustling crowd, our wait time was surprisingly reasonable.
The food was outstanding! The steak and frites was perfectly cooked and came with a refreshing, delicious salad. The prime rib dip was tender and incredibly tasty. And don’t get me started on the Banana Bar for desert!
We had top notch service. Garett was professional, warm, and genuinely accommodating. Even with the high volume, he never missed a beat—checking in, offering recommendations, and making us feel like we were one of his only tables. When we encountered a minor issue, Jake (the manager) came by, apologized and made everything right.
Culinary Dropout proves that even on a packed night, excellence doesn’t take a back seat. Our bellies are full, happy, and we can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing — we had the breakfast burritos, pretzel bites with cheese fondue, and an appetizer that was just delicious. The mocktails were refreshing and beautifully made, and even the bottled water had personality (“Wish you were beer” — loved that!).
The atmosphere was fun and vibrant, perfect for brunch or lunch with friends. The service was attentive and friendly, and everything came out quickly. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to next time I’m in town!

One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Get the shrimp rice appetizer because it’s both unique and delicious! Then build your own charcuterie board! Everything was so yummy. The service was fabulous and the vibe was chill. I can’t wait to go back!

We just had the BEST experience here! The food, fun atmosphere and customer service were outstanding! There are two people who made our evening extra enjoyable. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Madison, who then quickly sat us down. She took the time to answer all of our questions about the restaurant and then she began to share all her favorite menu recommendations (which is always helpful when you try a new place). We also experienced excellent customer service from Ann Marie! She was personable, attentive, fun and delightful. She constantly checked on us and made sure our dining experience was perfect. Authentic customer service is rare these days, which is why I felt the need to write this review. I hope the owner knows how lucky they are to have such great and hard working employees! We will definitely come back here the next time we visit Scottsdale. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!

Really great food and significant variety of options, including vegetarian. Venue is a bit loud, but it was nice to be part of a lovely crowd. And Sean was an attentive, friendly and helpful server!

One of the best servers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, CJ, really made our day! He steered up towards great food, tasteful drinks and lovely conversation.
The crispy brussel sprouts and the shrimp were delicious. Looking forward to more meals there during our stay!

My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding here. We were absolutely blown away. An event planner reached out to us very quickly after we submitted an interest form. On the day of our event, we had ~15 people and selected the family style dinner with a limited menu. Everything from the appetizers to the desserts were delicious and the service from CJ and Lucy was incredible. CJ in particular provided one of the best experiences from a server I have ever had. The live music was great, food was really well done, and the service was top notch. I would recommend the food and event services to anyone.

I’ve been meaning to check this place out for the last 15 years and finally got around to it. The Princess drink is great. The deviled eggs and pretzels are a must try!

I ordered the wings, and the server mentioned there would be 10, but only 7 came. I thought they were a bit undercooked and politely asked if they could be cooked a little more—not asking for anything free or a replacement—but was told, “they’re like this because of the blood vein; it’s normal to see a little pink.” It made me feel a bit silly, like I didn’t know what I was talking about. He didn’t offer to replace them or do anything until I was left sitting there awkwardly, and then asked if he could “do anything,” which I had literally just told him.
The steak and frites were okay, and the beers weren’t bad, but the whole interaction left a sour taste in my mouth.
Atmosphere-wise, it’s lively and fun—lots of groups hanging out, and the outdoor mist fans are a nice touch for cooling down.
