Multiple things wrong with this visit Waited like 10 mins to get water Had to remind her I needed water she seemed very absent minded I ordered the Asian steak and a salad I asked the server how those were she said great. Absolutely NOT the steak was super spicy and the dressing on the chicken salad made it a terrible mix! The service was terrible, had to remind her about the wine I ordered. When the food came I needed plates, they brought me a tiny dirty plate. I had to ask for a clean bigger one. Not sure if I would go back read more

Got to visit during their soft opening and I thought it was pretty good. The roasted salmon was delicious! Loved the flavors and the butternut squash farro risotto went so well with it. The rainbow trout was also good and pretty different flavorwise from the salmon, it was very buttery. Loved the drinks as well, they have a huge selection! Tried the tropical princess mocktail and I really enjoyed it. It had a unique flavor, tasted like pineapple, lime, and cinnamon, but definitely worth a try. The espresso martini was also really good. We got the whipped tahini and feta dip for an appetizer and it was okay but the flavor of the dip overpowered all of the toppings and just wasn't my favorite flavor. The monkey bread was also just okay, tasted like apple pie which I liked but the dough was bland and didn't have much flavor. It was the soft opening so giving some grace with everything but it was a little slow to get everything. Our server was nice but it felt like people were constantly checking in on us even though we had no food yet. Loved the vibe as well. It is a nice big open space and it looks beautiful inside. They also have live music some nights which I really enjoyed. Overall, a good experience although I do think it was a little pricey but I would go back and try some other things from the menu. read more

I seriously do not understand why this place is missing a star Absolutely nothing bad to note about this beautifully outfitted restaurant. I loooove how all the menu options are crafted perfectly. My friend had the fried chicken w/Brussel sprouts and I enjoyed the fish & chips since they were out of the Peking duck. After noticing neither of us had said a word since our food had arrived, we bursted into laughter at how we were enthralled in conversation until we began inhaling out food. And to top it off, the wait staff was too tier; Particularly, Bianca. Every suggestion was 10 outta 10 ::chefs kiss:: read more

The place looks beautiful. The aesthetic is definitely there. It wasn't just a bit pricy for the portions. But the food was good. For example, the Pigs in a blanket were $18 and I think you get 5 or 6. The service staff were good. Very friendly and welcoming. The fish & chips were really good and fresh. read more

I stopped in to order a to go dish at the bar, but I'll be back! Located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking, this mixed cuisine restaurant has something for everybody. There's a large bar with TVs to watch the game. Table seating as well as a few outdoor tables. Everyone who worked there was lovely. I enjoyed a gin and bubbles cocktail while I waited, and I ordered a duck and shrimp stir fry dish to go. The dish was delicious! Highly recommend. Looking forward to trying more of their menu. read more

I went to Culinary Dropout for happy hour and sat at the bar with two friends--just the three of us--and I have nothing but good things to say. The bartender was super attentive, friendly, and kept our drinks full without us having to ask. The food? Shockingly affordable and delicious--definitely elevated happy hour fare without the elevated price tag. We were all impressed. I already can't wait to go back. This spot is absolutely going into the regular rotation! read more

I was on this side of town at liquor Costco (IYKYK). I was going to Politan Row and decided to give this place a chance. Glad I did. I had the fish and chips. Yummy. Crisp but light. Fries were fried just right too. I'm kinda a coleslaw snob and enjoyed this one very much. I think one of the best parts was getting to talk to Kerry the bartender. She was so sweet. She also makes a pretty good bloody mary. Next time I'm gonna try a spicy one. Even though we live in town, I'll be bringing the husband. read more

Awesome food and great service I've always had Erin as my server and she's awesome. 10/10 would recommend!

I highly recommend the Katzu Chicken Sandwich! It's crispy but tender& the flavor is perfect! The Brussels are to die for too! The pretzel bites are a generous portion but nothing particularly stands out about them. My husband got the fried chicken and enjoyed it though I would suggest asking them to heat up the biscuit before serving. read more

Wow! What's in a name?! A "culinary dropout?" Yup!! Tasted like it was cooked by one! To be fair, it was one dish. $28. (not cheap) "Mongolian Short Ribs." I feel like I got the "short" end of the stick on these "ribs." No bones about it!... Literally! No rib bones. "Short" -and by short I mean- one inch cubes of some kind of meat! Chewy- great if your jaw needs exercise! And the sauce? Bottled Sauces from Publix taste better. Too bad. I was so looking forward to it. But the aftertaste still lingers! read more

Love the vegan curry plate with a grilled piece of sweet potato, rice, and a cream sauce and veggies! i'm not even vegan but it sounded good from the menu and now that's my go to. i've been here twice and each time it did not disappoint, and neither did the drinks. would definitely recommend for a late night dinner with your girls, or an actual date. great lighting for pics, and the vibe and decor is aesthetically pleasing for you fellow photographers. read more

Get straight to it. $36 for a perfectly cooked steak. Fries are decent. Fried okay, no flavor or salt. Arugula salad with grated parm. Worth $15-$20. Waitress was very kind and atmosphere was confusing. It may seem like the rating should be lower but I would come back, I would try to switch sides. If you can cook a flank steak the way they did the other food must be good friend also got the salmon and it looked perfectly medium with crispy skin. read more

This is a really cool place. It's located in a shopping area with parking and sidewalks. You can eat inside or outside. I sat outside and the outside is screened in. The service was good. I was seated quickly and the food did not take long to come out. I had the vegan curry. When I tell you I think I could eat this dish every day! It was so flavorful and all the veggies tasted fresh. read more

Love this addition to the Dunwoody food scene. Have always gotten good food and good service here. Tonight I ordered the manchego cheese a la carte as a starter. It didn't come w bread, so I had to order a side of bread as well ($5.50 for 4 pieces). I wish it was allowed to order just a slice of bread for like $1.50/ea bc I ended up throwing away 3 slices of bread I didn't need:/ I got my usual house salad w salmon, and changed out the buttermilk dressing for the Thai curry vinaigrette dressing. It was the perfect salad! Don't underestimate their house salad, the vegetables are so fresh, and the heirloom carrots are swoon worthy. Had great service tonight from Abby too! read more

Food was superb. There's a wonderful variety to choose from (it was difficult to pick just.a few dishes to try).

Service was okay. Our waitress was checked out! She wasn't rude but it was clear she didn't want to be there and I was treating my team to lunch which impacted the experience. Overall the food was ordinary bar food. Maybe a little elevated. I would only go back for an happy hour invite. read more

Love the service waitress was very friendly .. staff were great overall place was a good vibe .. this place was pretty big. They had TVs above the bar. Kitchen was right behind our table. Table was pretty big food was really good as well big portion for me overall the waitress probably could've came around a little bit more than she did, but overall, I had a great experience. read more

Being from the northeast, I feel like I'm maybe a little picky when I come down south because it's hard to find food I like lol. The culinary dropout was a good experience, thankfully. In a cute area with a nice interior - we were swiftly served and taken care of. The charcuterie and salmon dip were nice and the wagyu pigs in a blanket were pretty good. The pasta bolognese was great. Overall good experience, well done! read more

The food was great and the service was as well. We had a large party of 13 and the accommodated us comfortably, the food all came out on time and hot. The area that the restaurant is located is very cute, good for a family or a date. Definitely recommend! read more

We love this place! Food and service are always a 10/10. My favorites are the Brussel sprouts, the pizza, and their salads. A must try!

Culinary Dropout is a restaurant where I would love to try almost every item on the menu! I tried the hummus appetizer, peaches & rye cocktail, and fried chicken dinner and everything had unique flair and was expertly prepared! Our server was also amazing and I loved the style of the restaurant! read more

I was really excited to try this place because the menu looked amazing, and there were so many options that sounded great! Our server was super attentive and nice, which I really appreciated. But the actual food experience left me a little confused. A lot of the menu items were out, which I get, it happens. But it started to feel like a pattern. My friends and I ordered the dips as an appetizer, and when they brought them out, there was nothing to dip with. When we asked, the server told us they were out of bread and would try to find some crackers. A few minutes later, he came back and said there weren't any crackers either. We asked if we could just get fries to dip instead, but he said that would be an extra charge. I'm still not sure why they would serve dips without anything to dip them with??? Or why we couldn't have been told beforehand about this. For my main dish, I ordered the Mongolian short rib, which was supposed to come with crispy rice. What I got was more of a soft, porridge-like rice. Personally, I didn't mind it (I actually don't mind that texture) but it definitely wasn't what was advertised. I could see that being disappointing for someone expecting that crunch. Overall, I think this place has a lot of potential. The flavors were there, and the staff was really kind, but it seems like they're still working out some operational kinks. I'd give it another shot in the future, but hopefully they smooth things out a bit. read more

Food was delicious!! Great place for happy hour or a date night as it's a very nicely decorated restaurant with plenty of space. Went in the late afternoon so expected pretty quick service but service was pretty slow considering that it was in between lunch and dinner and not many people there. I'll definitely give them another chance though. read more

The food was good. I wish they had more vegetarian options. Enjoyed the restaurant experience though.

Great spot for dinner! My friend and I stopped in for dinner one night and had a great experience. The decorating and atmosphere were lovely, although the music choices did not match with the vibe the decor was giving off. I didn't mind the music (R&B and rap) but it just seemed like the two didn't match. Anyway, we ordered a couple apps, the pretzel bites and brussel sprouts (upon recommendation of our server), cocktails and we each got a sandwich. Everything was great, the portions were large and service was quick. I got the asian style chicken sandwich, I can't remember exactly what it was called but was unique and very tasty. My friend said he had food envy when he saw my sandie. Their menu had a good variety of entrees without it being overwhelming, there was something for every type of eater. Culinary Dropout was a great little spot! read more

Culinary Dropout in Georgia nails it -- lively atmosphere, tasty food, and some of the best mixed drinks I've had in a while. The craft cocktails are creative, balanced, and worth coming back for (highly recommend the [insert drink name]). Service was friendly and fast, making the whole night easy and fun. Definitely a go-to spot for drinks with friends or a casual night out. read more

I will definitely never be back. The vibe of the restaurant is strange. Half of it is upscale and the other half feels like a dive bar. Service was not great at all. It was hard to tell who worked there and who was a customer. Waiter wasn't very attentive and it took 15 minutes to even get our checks. Got salmon and asked for it well done and it was practically still swimming (exaggerating ofc) so I had to send it back. The ribs weren't good at all either. The main problem was the sauce they use. Overall, I did not enjoy and would not recommend at all. read more

I've been to culinary dropout for dinner. And I had to check out their branch. Let me tell you if I never have anything else for brunch. I want these two items that I had every time I had brunch there. The banana French toast is too... Die... For! I was very skeptical to get it because I am not a banana fan, but the waitress told me that I had to try it so I went with her recommendation and got it. She did not fail me at all. The bananas for the French toast are only because they top it with bananas, so that was perfect for me. I just push those to the side and dug into that delicious bread. They give you caramel sauce to drizzle on top And syrup. Let me tell you that was heaven on a plate. Best French toast I have ever had in my life. Now let's talk about that breakfast pizza. That pizza had bacon, sausage, eggs, and arugula. It also had this delicious sauce on it. Their pizzas are a Detroit style pizza so it's deep dish and it has a buttery crust with cheese around it. My mouth is watering, just telling you guys about this. Both of those dishes will make you the happiest person. If you never follow a recommendation for me, please follow this one. When you go to culinary dropout, you have to get these two items for brunch... Thank me later. read more

I have watched too many chef Ramsey shows and even a "Dropout" from Chef Ramsey show prepares great food so why shouldn't a Culinary student. We were not impressed even with a simple dish like fried chicken, Popeyes has it beat!! Maybe it was the night, or short staffed, or trainees.. maybe, maybe maybe.. Maybe I'll give it a 2nd chance The service and atmosphere were great.. read more

The food is simply amazing. I enjoyed everything. There is nothing more to add. I will definitely be back.

Walked in and immediately was seated at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and served me right away. Got a cold beverage and ordered the spicy shrimp crispy rice. Although it leaned a little sweet, it was a well balanced appetizer with crispy rice on the bottom and succulent spicy shrimp on top. I then ordered the Detroit style pepperoni pizza and the buttery cheesy crust was immaculate and the sauce was delicious. What a great experience! read more

Was really excited to try culinary dropout and I decided to come for brunch with a friend! I had a reservation but it wasn't super busy so I don't think you'd really need one here. Our server was great and the food came out super quickly! I had their sausage, bacon, and egg pizza and my friend had their smoked salmon plate and I absolutely loved my pizza! The smoked onion Alfredo sauce was sooooo good and the plate was huge and I ended up bringing half of it home! We then shared their monkey bread which was just an apple crumble with vanilla ice cream. It was alright, but I preferred the brunch plates more! Overall I liked the new culinary dropout! I'd love to come back for dinner at some point too! read more
