Reviews for Culinary Dropout Kitchen + Bar in Fonthill, ON

Cool spot where the theme is definitely something I can get behind. A lot of art that fits the vibe and great staff. Our server... was kind, on top of it, and didn?t even hesitate to take a photo for my wife and I. Good portions are a lot so you definitelyget your moneys worth. I don?t think there was an order my wife and I were dissatisfied with. Read more

I'll usually try my culinary tastings at an independent restaurant over a corporate location...typically it's because you can... expect either something great, or learn a lesson on where not to eat. The good: homemade pizza offerings which are aboveanything you would find at a corporate location. They send it with scissors to "cut it yourself", which I think is intended togive you an experience...however, my guests were not so keen on the idea, but I'm not going to hold that against theDropout. The not-so-good: The Dip (pictured below). This is supposed to be a lobster and shrimp dip (similar to the artichokedip). It was tasteless, or rather tasted more like cheese and cream. If it is made in house, I'd recommend that they add more ofthe lobster to give it that unique flavour that it's meant to have based on the description in the menu. The blah: The wings arenothing special, so save your money. That said, the place appears popular as it got busier as the evening progressed. The bigquestion that people who read reviews want to know: will we go back? I'm going to say that I would give it another try...butavoid The Dip and the wings! Read more

Food was absolutely delicious. Meat was tender and full of flavour. Pizza was tasty. Not only was the food phenomenal, the... customer service was top notch. Thank you for the awesome experience. Read more

Great place to check out! Staff were very nice, the restaurant was clean, and it was a fun atmosphere. Food was very good! The... beef short rib was amazing! The burger was ok, possibly overcooked. We ordered the bacon smash but they brought the classicburger, not a big deal. The truffle fries were yummy. I recommend getting The Dip, creamy and cheesy with lobster and shrimp butnot heavy at all! Such a good app. Read more

Yum! 80th birthday celebration for my grandmother. Service was impeccable. Drinks were on point. Food was amazing! We ordered... a plethora of food, everyone loved their meals and the shared starters. Everything is a solid 5 stars, highly recommended. Read more

Two of us came here a couple weeks ago and I would say before going into detail that this is most definitely a place to go and... try, and we will come back. It is good. The overall experience here was where I struggle with giving five stars. I would like tothink the two of us that went are friendly, but maybe something happened that day because our host and server seemed the leastbit interested in doing some of the bare minimum social interactions. I actually couldn't tell you the name of our server, henever introduced himself, and despite the restauraunt seeming a little slow (watched another server sit down with some patrons,her friends im sure), our service was slowwwww. In his defense he picked it up in the latter half of our experience to what Iwould consider alright, but nothing about the experience screamed "we want your patronage". BUT it is not all negative. The foodhere is superb, and the beef dip I ordered was different than a traditional beef dip, but in my opinion a must try menu item.There was not a single thing I think a person could say was wrong with that sandwich. Flavourful, cooked perfectly, portion sizewas more than generous, and even the fries were amazing! My friend had the spicy chicken sandwich and that too was a great item.We'll be back, just going to cross our fingers that the service isn't a culture thing and maybe just a bad day for the staff weinteracted with.

Tonight was the first time I visited since it opened. We had been to the previous restaurant several times so thought we'd give... it a try. Busy but not too busy. Menu options were decent, I chose nachos with chicken and my fellow diner had ribs. Nachosthemselves were very different than typical, these were more of a baked thicker type of chip, softer than typical corn chips. Ienjoyed the toppings but definitely needed more cheese. What cheese I had was mostly stuck to the blue check paper under themall. When I pulled the cheese off, it had adsorbed the check pattern from the paper so I didn't eat that. Good sized portion,which I would hope for with a price tag of $17 + $6 for the chicken. I did have some to bring home, let's see how they hold upwith the paper issue. The ribs were one big piece, a large bone with meat. It looked beautiful, great presentation, and thepiece I had was yummy, came with some dried onions, green beans and carrots, fries on the side but a baked potato would havebeen great, overall, dish was on smaller side. Colours inside are nice, interesting things on the walls. Lights in dining areaon the right from front door way too bright and it was quite loud inside, between the constant ringing of the business phone andthe music. Server was friendly and took good care of us. Food came out super quick, thank you. Read more

My mom and I came here for our first time tonight and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waitress Katie was so friendly and helpful.... The atmosphere was great, the drinks were tasty and the food was delicious. I had the triple threat blt. It was filling but notheavy. My mom had the goddess bowl (no protein added) and she couldn?t stop raving about how good it was. The house madedressing was amazing (I had to try a taste). We will definitely be returning, and we?re looking forward to trying the otheritems on the menu. Read more
