I'm not going to lie, I didn't have high hopes for a steak place in a food court type venue. But this place was amazing I even thought to myself, how old is this meat and how long has it been sitting here. But omg it was so fresh and tender It's conveniently located inside rodeo 39. They have plenty of free private parking. Plus you can explore tons of other places after you eat here We went up and asked the girl behind the counter for some recommendations. We went with the ribeye cut and then you get one butter / sauce and two sides. (42 dollars) We also ordered a butcher burger, fries and two drinks. The total came to around 60 dollars. Which to be honest the steak was just as good as any steakhouse. And worth the price alone. When our food was ready we got a text and went back up to the counter to get it. One of the workers helped carry the food out to our table. I like how I can pick the meat and see it in the case, the service was great, i like that I can see the people cooking it as well, I think the price for steak is extremely reasonable especially when it comes with two sides, it literally took about 10 minutes for our food which was great and it's a great location for food lovers. I'll definitely be back again
1. The burgers were delicious and made well! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes since it is located inside a public market! 3. The staff were friendly and informative about the wait time! It took less than 10 mins! 4. There are shared indoor and outdoor seatings in the market! 5. The shared parking lot can get crowded after noon on the weekends! Note: They will ask you for your phone number to text you when the order is ready! Therefore, you can just explore the market until pickup! Photo: 2x Garlic Smashburgers
On our way to the airport we stopped in this complex that had a plethora of eats and Bearded Tang Brewery. We decided on primal cuts. We ordered the smash burger fries as well as the Korean wings. The guy behind the counter was very spacey not really paying attention to his surroundings, but it was quick service so I wasn't really worried about it. The smash burger fries were simply but full of flavor. Both my wife and I could have had a couple orders of them. The wings on the other hand were a bit squishy and very very saucy. They had a decent flavor, but I tend to look for a good crunch and a thin flavorful layer of sauce. We were craving wings so they served their purpose. If we're ever in the area again we would love to try more things. But there is also so many more places in this little area!
PREMIUM PATTY. Craving the taste of umami burger but unfortunately the chain no longer exists. I sought primal cuts truffle butter burger and it satisfied the craving. The truffle burger was buttered up with truffle butter. Had a few mushrooms and raw onions that made the flavor pop. The patty was a decent size and not dry at all. If I had any impulse control this would be a complete meal, but I had to get the fries. The fries were drenched in truffle oil but not in a good way. The flavor was there but there was about a cup of oil sitting in the box of fries. I had to squeeze the oil out of each fry. I didn't know whether it was truffle butter or frying oil. It was a bowl of cereal. I didn't get a drink since their selection consisted of canned soda and a few premium bottled sodas. Something about canned drinks just doesn't taste the same. Despite the fries, overall it was worth the try for 24 dollars.
Staff is friendly and down to earth. Ordered the OG, but lettuce wrapped, no bun. You get charged extra for lettuce wrap....and it is NOT worth it! They used the inner leaves, so it's like thin strips of lettuce versus (in and out) other styles that literally WRAP your burger. I like that you can specify how your meat is cooked, but unfortunately they don't know how to cook the meat. It was warmer than blue, but def not medium rare. No seasoning on the meat. Probably won't be back for another $15 burger (no fries, no drink)
I'm impressed how good the butchers burger and shoe string fries were. Did no sun dried tomatoes and killed it without the bottom bun. Shoe string fries are in my opinion the best type of fries and primal cuts delivered. Customer service is pretty great. Forget in n out and come here you will not be disappointed.
Tried the garlic smash and regular burger. It was okay... would say in n out is better in every metric (not even factoring in price). I will say that the burger meat portion was solid. I would go somewhere else if eating at rodeo39
Credit Cards: They're accepted Restrooms: Restrooms found inside Rodeo 39 food hall. Visitation Rights: 1 time, but I can see myself coming here more often if i'm in the area. Location: Located inside the Rodeo 39 Food Hall next to the restrooms. Parking can be found in shared lot, but might take a while to find a spot depending on the time you go. Ambiance/Decor: Modern looking food stall with minimal seating. You can find available tables and chairs through out the food hall though. Entertainment: Sit at the bar and have a peak at the meat masters at work while they make your food. Service: Service was good. Food came out at a decent time. Food Of Choice: Shared the Butcher's Burger (comes with fries) which consisted of aged angus beef, swiss, garlic aioli, arugula, caramelized onion, and sun dried tomatoes on white bun. The butcher was very good. The meat patty was moist and tender and the fresh ingredients meshed well. Primal Cuts For Thought: Would love to come back to patronize the shop when I'm in the area.
This steak sandwich was yummy but felt like it was missing something, maybe some more meat or arugula/onions. The bread is pretty thick but it's not too dense. The aioli was yummy tho, and the steak was nicely medium rare. The truffle fries were good but the truffle flavor was very mild and missing parmesan cheese.
Located inside Rodeo 39, Primal Cuts is a must try! Came with a bunch of family and friends and they all raves about this place. My husband and I got the Ribeye Steak with truffle butter and got fries and mashed potatoes as the sides. For $30-something dollars, the quality is phenomenal! Honestly, it was better than some of the pricier ribeyes we've gotten at some restaurants. It was SO juicy and flavorful (the truffle butter is a must if you like truffle). We're from out of town, but if we're ever back in the area, we will definitely be back here!
Eh. It's ok. I was craving a burger and Primal Cuts is the only spot that sells burgers in Rodeo 39. I ordered the OG Burger which comes out to $15 with tax. At that price I was expecting an above average, decently sized burger. Instead, the burger was quite small (very thin patty -- see pic), and quite frankly, mostly bread! The patty itself was cooked well and the complimentary ingredients (pickles, onions, cheese) were solid, but there was nothing "wow" about it. I wish the serving was bigger and the patty thicker (or give two thin patties with cheese in middle). The bun was fine. For $15, you can get something better at Rodeo 39, where there are so many options. Honestly I would have been just as happy with In-n-Out across the street.
After several return visits, it's safe to say that I won't eat here again. The food is truly a joke. One of those meals that you force yourself to finish just because you paid a good amount for it. I've tried the ribeye and picanha cuts that have been overcooked, bland, and almost inedible. The steak looks great on their social media posts but when you account for rest time and it will continue to steam when packaged, no matter what temperature you request, it will come out well done. No part of the steak was medium rare and when you're paying $40+, that's not acceptable. The quality of steak they use is not great either. The ribeye is so thin, that it's almost impossible for them not to overcook it. Quality reminds me of what I used to get from Albertsons meat section. If you can't cook steak to the right doneness, I'd recommend using a thicker cut or just taking it off the menu. I ordered the Butcher Burger again this time and it was not good. I couldn't even finish it because it was dry, bland, and stale. Fries again, not special. The last time I ordered side of broccolini and asparagus which is an additional price to upgrade. Inedible. Basically served raw broccolini because could not even chew it and they didn't trim the stem that's woody. If you can't even cook simple vegetables correctly, I don't think you should be in business in my opinion. If you're thinking about trying this one out, I'd save your money and try another stall. I felt like I was being robbed paying $60+ for a meal that was not a good experience eating.
Ordered a garlic smash burger and made it a combo, adding fries and a can of soda. The best part of this place was that the associate was really sweet! However, the food itself was below par. I was supposed to be texted when my order was ready, but apparently their system wasn't properly working. When I walked back around toward this place, the person who took my order hand-delivered my bag to me. I'm not sure how long the order actually took to make, but I walked around the food hall, then returned to Primal Cuts about 15 min after placing my order. I was surprised to see that the cheese on the burger was not melted at all. I suppose that means my burger was not very hot when it was made (by the time I got my food, it was mildly warmer than room temp). The patty itself didn't look very smashed... it was comparable to a McDonald's beef patty in appearance. The bun didn't seem toasted, so it kinda felt like they barely microwaved a patty, then slathered a bun with the garlic sauce and put it all together with a piece of totally unmelted cheese on top before packaging the food. The portion of fries was generous, though. I think that was the most filling part of the meal. It was nice that they left the box open so it wouldn't get soggy. The ketchup was a bit lacking for me, though. I know they make their own ketchup, but it needed a more acidic punch for my tastes. Anywho, the total came to a little over $14 (with tip), which wasn't worth it at all.

First time trying & I ordered filet mignon w/ garlic butter, heirloom carrots & button mushrooms. I requested my filet mignon medium rare, but it was slightly overcooked. Overall, it was good & if you love red meat, I recommend this place. I look forward to trying more options on their menu. Their customer service is very friendly & welcoming as well. read more
One of my top eateries inside Rodeo 39. Want a nice 5 star steak dinner without the fancy ambiance/ strict dress code? This is it. Reasonably priced as well. There was a line at this spot of about 8-10 people when I came and after trying my food I understand why. I went with the 8 oz new york strip steak with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus (+$2 add on for the asparagus) and also added some garlic butter for 65 cents extra. Food took a little bit of time as there were at least 8-10 orders ahead of me, but it gave me the chance to walk around so I picked up some donuts across the way at Dot & Dough. The cashier at Primal Cuts was very kind and the system they had going worked well. Would def. come again! read more

Great customer service and concept! Sometimes, ya girl just wants steak without cooking myself or dining at a steakhouse Price point is pretty fair considering the quality of the steak. I got the NY Steak w/ truffle butter with carrots & mashed potato. The potatoes were amazing!!!! I could tell they were Yukon . NY steak was bit on the chewy side but flavor & sear was there! Truffle butter was the cherry on top read more

I just order a side of shoestring fries and clarified with the lady it's the really really skinny kind. She said yeah the shoestring fries. And this is what I get, just a regular cut fries that I can get from in-n-out with cheaper price. why Very disappointed. This is NOT the shoestring fries I had in mind. read more

The steak was good but not great. Mushrooms were good. Mashed potatoes were cold! We ordered and waited a long time. They didn't tell us the wait time. We went back for an update and they said they our order didn't go through and that they would make it as fast as possible. They still took long. They gave me mashed potatoes instead of the fries I ordered. At that point I was starving and just wanted to eat so I didn't say anything. Out of curtesy for their mistake they should have given a discount or something. Not worth the price since it's pricy. It was cool to see the steaks out like at the market but I don't care to go again. read more

Great steak and sides. The only critiques I have is that they cook the steaks a little under (I'm usually a med rare girl but here I have to order medium), sometimes the steaks are a bit fatty (I know the fat has the flavor but sometimes it's a bit much), and lastly it's expensive even during lunch. Other than that the mushroom, asparagus, and broccolini are always cooked to perfection. read more

Interesting concept cause Rodeo 39 is super casual and with Primal Cuts and all the food places here you, just walk up and order. So everything feels like a fast food/takeout type thing but the quality of the meat here is outstanding. It's pricey but with the cuts they're serving I'd say it's fair. Cooked as asked and super flavorful. read more

I like that they serve picanha! BUT when I ask for medium-rare, they over cook it like medium-well. It's happened twice already. It's a shame. Now im like "will they get it right the third time? Or do I ask for rare and they give me medium rare?" read more

Beautifully cook steak. Exceptional quality. I recommend this place you will not be disappointed. I was very surprised how flavorful everything was. Most steak places all ways let me down. So happy I found this gem. read more
Primal Cuts is one of my new favorite places in Rodeo 39. Here they have filet, ribeye, New York and Picana but I prefer to go with the New York cut . You really can't go wrong with anything you order, in my opinion. During my last visit I ordered the New York medium accompanied with buttered broccoli and mashed potatoes. Just like my previous visits, everything was cooked to perfection. The seasoning on the steak was just right and the melted butter on the side orders was mouth watering good. The price is a bit more compared to all the rest of the restaurants at this indoor eatery but the quality is there making it well worth it. Service was great. The entire staff including the cook had a mask. The line was a bit long since it was a weekend but the line moved very quickly. Since everything was cooked to order I only waited 15 minutes before my name was called. I would definitely come here again and recommend. read more

This place is located in the Rodeo 39 plaza. I looked at the eatery months prior and was curious but today I got to try it for myself. I ordered the picanha, broccolini, and potatoes. Everything was good - the potatoes were outstanding. As for the meat, I wish it was a bit more tender/fatty (I am use to this at the Brazilian steakhouses) and I would probably get it a little less cooked so it had less char flavor. I think this is a great spot for steakhouse quality but with a takeout or casual dinning experience. I would like to try to burger next time. read more

Wanted to love this place so much for a casual steak plate, but we were so disappointed! We thought that since the meat was out in the glass case that we'd be able to pick and choose which meat cut we'd like, but it was just for show and for the 'aging process'. That was lame when we found that out cause we thought being able to pick our own meat right then and there to be cooked would've been a cool concept. Wanted to order the picanha to try but that wasn't available. Ordered a medium rare ribeye cut and of course we wouldn't have been able to see which meat they actually took out to cook for us, but when we received our entree, we were surprised to note that it did not look like a ribeye. I was with my fiancé and our couple friend and the four of us are big fans of ribeyes as our usual choice of meat cut and so all four of us were very sure that the meat we got was not a ribeye. My fiancé went back and told the person at the front and he went back to talk to chef who cooked the meat, who came back telling my fiancé that it was a ribeye. My fiancé said that he just had a very matter of fact response and we were just told it was a ribeye so he just took it back and we ate it. It tasted NOTHING like a ribeye and there were no characteristic of it being a ribeye, tasted and looked like a New York strip. Not only that, but we asked for medium rare and it came out more well. Barely any flavor in the truffle butter that we ordered with the meat. Sides were average at best, nothing special. I super super super wanted to love this place but really felt like it was such a waste. My fiancé and I were so disappointed because we suggested Rodeo for our double date and so we felt bad that that was our friends' first experience there. There are obviously so many options and we had chosen this, which was sad.. I wouldn't want to waste eating here again, but would give it another shot if someone I was going with really wanted to try I guess. Maybe my mind will change.. read more
[COVID/QUARANTINE REVIEW] I LOVE PRIMAL CUTS!!! Just knocking down one star because its pricey and I can maybe easily recreate this meal at home? But for a ~primal cut~ of steak, this place is hard to beat! This place always intrigues me. You walk by and see a meat display and oOoOo it looks so fineee! There's four different types of cuts you can choose from - ribeye, filet, picanha and NY steak, all at different price points. For my first time, I opted for medium rare filet (go big or go home right) with mash potatoes and mushroom. +Truffle oil (worth!) We ordered take out and the quality was still good at home. The meat was cut in thin slices, too cooked for my liking. I probably would have ordered 1 step rarer next time. I will probably come back from time to time when I'm lazy to make my own steak with sides. But the SIDES are what makes the dish!! My brother has gone back... 3 times within the span of a month! It's definitely pricey for a regular meal but is a good treat-yo-self type of meal. Will be back read more

My favorite new carnivorous paradise is found in the newest Rodeo 39 food court extravaganza. I enjoyed a Picanha steak that was just delicious and cooked to perfection. My chosen sides were broccolini + mashed potatoes with a side of garlic butter that was scrumptious. I went for a medium well preparation and my buddy medium rare, both cooked perfectly to our liking. The meat was flavorful and tender, and the seasoning was spot on without being overpowering. Only a short crawl from Bearded Tang, makes this a prime spot for dining and even the ability to eat on the "public" patios our back, or on the side. All COVID19 guidelines mandated by Fauci, CDC, WHO and all the other brainiacs were being followed accordingly. We'll be back for more. read more
