Unique, delicious, and unforgettable! Culinary Misfits is an absolute gem. The food is creative, fresh, and full of bold flavor — you can really tell they put heart and passion into every dish. Everything we tried was amazing, and the menu had so many fun, unique options. The staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. The atmosphere is chill, welcoming, and perfect for hanging out and enjoying great food. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Culinary Misfits to anyone looking for something different and seriously delicious!
First time checking this place out and I’m glad I did. Food was on point — everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can tell they actually care about what they’re putting out. Service was just as solid. Staff was friendly, quick, and made sure we were taken care of without being over the top. Atmosphere was a vibe too — clean, relaxed, and a good spot whether you’re just grabbing a bite or sitting down for a minute. Definitely coming back. If you’re thinking about trying it, don’t hesitate.
I kind of wish google would allow for fractional ratings, I don't want to give everyone 5 across the board, but this place would be like a 4.7. Food is outstanding, everything we got was loaded with flavor. Staff/service all awesome. Worth checking out.
Great food and the atmosphere was perfect for a casual meal! Over all I ordered the Fish and chips, and to my surprise it was perfect. And I highly suggest the cheese bites as an appetizer!
We met up here with family for the super bowl, so we sat on the bar side. Lots of TVs so easy to socialize while watching the game. Noisy friendly, and service is very attentive! There is a quieter side too. The menu is amazing with lots of interesting choices and designer drinks. Everything I have ever eaten here was delicious! Last night I had a couple appetizers, skirt steak skewers and fried pickles. Yum! But I almost got the barbecued cherry pork tenderloin with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. Just wasn't super hungry and the appetizers suited the game atmosphere for me. Very satisfying. The meat was very tender and came with a seasoned oil on the side. The fried pickles were tasty and fun to share as it was a huge portion. The iced tea was fresh brewed and kept coming. Love this place! Look forward to coming back!
Sophia is the best! She was very nice and made some excellent drink recommendations! She made sure our drinks stayed filled and area stayed cleaned. I got a cheeseburger and a pizza which came out fast and had great flavor! The portion sizes were great and I will go back again!
The Food and Staff were flawless! The Food was perfect on all 6 meals. Plus 6 people were fed and full.
Great atmosphere with spacious booths and clean restrooms. I ordered chicken florentine and was pleasantly surprised by the large, generous portions. We also ordered the Detroit pizza. All around excellent food.
We have dined here several times before and we always have a good experience. Yesterday was top notch. Mike was our bartender/server and he was so friendly, he was welcoming, attentive, great attitude and great smile. He made our experience five stars. The drinks were great. We both enjoyed our drinks and the food was very tasty. The arrachera skewers were full of flavor . We left nothing behind . The chicken tango and the Tijuana bowls were full of flavor & big portions. The menu is diverse and everything we’ve had was a hit.
