    The overall experience was great. Let's start with the atmosphere; very trendy feel, moody lighting, lounge-y music by the DJ. The ambiance was probably my favorite aspect of our dinner at Culinary Dropout. The food was very good, as well. The entrees were splendid, especially the beer-battered fish with the tartar sauce. The coleslaw was excellent on the side. The service was friendly, albeit a little slow; it took almost ten minutes for a server to take our drink order, but the atmosphere kind of made up for the slow start. Valet service is also available, which we took advantage of, rounding out a remarkable dinner experience.

    Wow, this place is really cool; great food and drinks, and super cool atmosphere. I got the crispy shrimp salad which was amazing, also tried my wife's strawberry spinach salad, which was also really good, and I tried my daughter's deep dish pizza, which was delicious. I'm pretty impressed. I would check it out.

    Been having this spot on my googles list, asked the hubs to take me out for lunch. Today was the day! Brandon (my guy), Thank you for a superb, excellent, satisfying lunch. Every recommendation, was on point! You were great, food was great, vibes were perf! Started off with the deviled eggs, Brussel sprouts, popcorn shrimp followed by spicy vegan curry dish and turkey pastrami with a house salad …. Omg for dessert we tried the monkey bread and the dark chocolate pistachio soft serve - not a chocolate fan but I couldn’t stop !!!! Sounds like they switch it up for the soft serve, so if luck is on your side - DO IT!!!! DONT MISS OUT!!!! I saw something about the average spending being between 50-100 but we spent between 150-200. then again we like to try different plates and share, plus we’ll have our shots and drinks. Just to reiterate… Brandon is the guy!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!! You provided great service and an EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! We’ll be back - hope we catch you again!

    Great service! We made a reservation for 7:30, walked in and were sat right away. Adam from San Antonio was our server/waiter and did a fantastic job keeping our glass full and had extensive knowledge of the menu! Matter of fact we ordered 3 of his recommendations and all were perfect. Definitely will be back!

    Culinary dropout is a fun place to eat with friends and family. The space is really big and has lots of TVs for sports games. The food is American and pretty good. Get the monkey bread and pretzels with fondu. It’s heavier American food but good.

    It was my first time trying Culinary Dropout and it met all my expectations. The restaurant itself is huge and the decor is cool - a bit masculine with dark lighting fixtures combined with clean wood lines with a touch of fun art along the walls. We started with the Soft Pretzels and the Provolone Fondue. They came to the table warm. The inside was soft and the outside had a nice buttery, salty flavor. The melted provolone was served over a flame and was perfect for dipping the soft pretzels. The spicy Korean skirt steak was packed with flavor. It was served with forbidden rice, mushrooms and zucchini and mixed with a garlic, chile sauce. For dessert I ordered the monkey bread which was served with vanilla ice cream and is perfect for sharing. The cinnamon apples, fresh baked bread and the ice cream were a perfect combination for comfort food.

    The food here and our waitress were great! I got the chopped chicken salad and it was very good. Fresh and delicious. Great flavors. I came to eat healthy, so that is why I got the salad. Several other items on the menu sounded delicious. I really want to try their pizza. We did order the Brussel Sprouts appetizer, which was very good and has a unique flavor with the sauce.

    I can't express how impressed I was with this restaurant, from the service to the delicious food. We had a long day of exploring the city and wanted to relax for dinner. We found the dining area not terribly busy, and were seated promptly by the hostess. For some reason we weren't attended to for 20-30 minutes. After almost getting up to leave, we were greeted by a waitress who apologized for the wait and followed up by Chris the manager who very professionally apologized for the wait. He offered to comp our meal for the night and drinks which was above and beyond what I would expect. He checked on us all night, and even had the kitchen redo a steak he felt was overdone. It really showed he takes the customer experience seriously and wanted to us to know that. As someone who works in food service, I know things get hectic and I wasn't bothered much by the wait, but Chris explained his service standards and it was refreshing to see that type of commitment to the guest experience. Thank you for a great night.

    Wow! I am so grateful my friend suggested we came here for dinner. I loved the atmosphere of Culinary Dropout. The decor was phenomenal and I adored the attention to detail. The service was impeccable! My friend and I never ran out of water. I definitely recommend coming here!

    Service was next level. She explained how everything worked. This restaurant doesn't work like most. It's much better! I ordered the Antipasto with just snacks. 😉 My wife ordered Fried Chicken. Everything was Amazing! Absolutely No Complaints.

    What a delight! Service is excellent. Greeted and seated immediately. Drinks served within 60 seconds or so. Appetizers came out super fast. Meals came out quick. Everything about this place is next level. Drinks: The watermelon sangria is a dream. I had 2. Appetizers: Watermelon Avocado (🌶) amazing Prosciutto Deviled Eggs OMG!!!! Brussels Sprouts yes yes yes Entrees: Trout raves Spinach Strawberry salad yum Salmon perfect Buttermilk Fried Chicken deceased!!! This kitchen is pumping out PERFECTION. Sounds like an over statement, but seriously this food is ridiculous its THAT GOOD!!!!! SERVICE IS BEYOND. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Also, the bartender making drinks...THANK YOU! It's a challenge to rate the decor because it's really not my vibe, but it's clearly designed and executed well. The restrooms are exceedingly clean. Culinary Dropout is the kind of song you put on repeat. Definitely coming back to try the Katsu chicken and the pastrami sandwich.

    We had a delightful time here from food & drink to service to atmosphere. Keller was attentive and provided wonderful service throughout our meal and all recommendations were spot on. Both cocktails, the Giddy Up Cowboy and the Watermelon Mezcal (can't remember the full name) paired so perfectly with the brunch pizza and southwest hash. A manager stopped by and engaged for a moment and the whole staff seemed to work well together. Great live music was a pleasant surprise and we will be back for certain!

    Delicious beyond compare. Waitress was decent but could have been more attentive. Food is why we came and food is why I’m giving the 5 stars! It was a tad loud and we had a reservation to be seated indoors, we were seated outdoors. We were dressed for indoors so of course, we were freezing. But the food was en pointe!

    I’m such a foodie, it was our first trio to Denver and this hit all the notes. Rad vibe, fun drinks, amazing food and friendly service. We were able to sit outside and they even have water bowls for your pup. I would 10/10 recommend. The fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had. Crispy, flakey wile still moist, mixed drinks on point & Ranch… out of this world!

    Sometimes, it's hard looking for a great restaurant according to reviews because everyone is different however, this time around one specific review helped due to the fact that it mentioned 'Provolone Fondue' I took it upon myself to check out the menu and the place. I want to say that I was very pleased with how this turned out. The food was GREAT, their ranch was SO fresh and mouth-watering, and the service was exceptionally great. My kids absolutely loved it and not to mention we were not sure about dessert but thankfully we did get dessert - the mango soft serve was one of the best soft serve desserts I have ever had, the Tajin with the juice brought out the texture of pop rocks, it was incredible and I highly, highly recommend. Willie (I believe his name was) was a great server, was always there when or if we needed something, and I appreciate this experience and definitely would love to come back!👌🏽

    Overall: 4.50-Delicious, freshly prepared entrees, appetizers & desserts. Turkey Pastrami sandwich with mashed potatoes & Fried Chicken entrees were both savory & yummy. Variety of menu items and spirits. Fun outside seating with game area that’s kid-friendly. Pristinely maintained and organized for different crowds—family dining, bar scene, casual patio dining, etc.

    This place has bad parking. If you are able to find a parking spot. I would check this place out. It’s very clean including the bathrooms. The customer service was average to above average. The food and drinks were average to above average. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely visit again. If you have drinks mixed drinks with meal it can get pricey quick.

    Really fun/relaxed atmosphere, with live music on the weekend. Menu had a variety of food options, with an equally good drink menu. Large outside seating area, the waiter was knowledgeable and nice.

    Had lunch with a client- arrived about 1:15 (after lunch) both ordered salads, not very busy (see pictures) but very slow to bring them out. They were very good, albeit very slow. Nice atmosphere and worth stopping in for a casual meal.

  • 5/5 Dean H. 8 months ago on Google
    Love this place! The restaurant was spacious and clean with a great atmosphere. Josh, our server, was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was incredibly tasty! The open kitchen, converse sneaker wall, and plenty of tvs make it a place I would go back to! The open patio and bar are great.

  • 5/5 Gretchen A. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was top notch delicious! The portions are on the smaller side though, so be prepared to spend some extra money if you want to get full. We each had a cocktail, shared an appetizer, and had fish entrees. We were seated on the patio which was very loud with tvs, music, and conversations, but the overall vibe was good.

    We got a recommendation to come here from a member of the staff at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and we can't say thank you enough! The rec definitely did not let us down. Really neat laid back atmosphere. Sat outside to enjoy the weather. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There were some things not listed on the sandwhiches we ordered and our waiter made sure to double check that we would be good with everything that came on it. I had the pub burger with an over easy egg and it was delicious. The bacon was crisp and delicious. I love some good French fries and theirs were great! Crisp and well seasoned. My fiance had the turkey pastrami and it was delicious too. Great meld of flavors. Overall would highly recommend if you're in the area!

    First time here today and they definitely left me a great first impression. Love the vibes and atmosphere of the place. Big open space, live music, lots of natural lighting. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were amazing. I got a steak frites, not on the brunch menu but they were able to make it happen :) their steak was delicious, melt in your mouth with just the right amount of seasoning, it was paired with fries and an arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing. My only complaint is that it was too good for the portion size, I wanted more! Also recommend their espresso martini for a smooth pick me up. Will be coming back soon!

    I've been here twice and enjoyed both times. The food is always good for me. The ambiance was great. The first time was a live band and the second was a DJ but the music was good both times. It seemed like the food took a while but once it arrived it was very well worth it. The servers were good and kept the tables cleared and drinks filled. All around the service was great.

    Great spot, friendly staff, and excellent food. Had the black truffle mushroom pizza and it's was delicious. My friend had the fried chicken and said it was seasoned and cooked perfectly!! Definitely going back. Would love to have a birthday dinner there.
