culinary dropout del mar

Located at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center in Del Mar, California, Culinary Dropout serves classic meals done right. Melt into the comfortable, laid-back atmosphere and feast on crowd favorites like our pretzel bites and provolone fondue, 36-hour pork ribs, and our famous fried chicken drizzled with honey. Thirsty? Wash it all down with an ice-cold craft beer or a killer house-made cocktail. You can revel in live music, kick back in the main dining room and patio areas, throw an intimate party in one of our semi-private spaces, or book the whole dining room for a big celebration. Whatever you choose, Culinary Dropout is the place for people who enjoy damn good food and drinks.
