    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

    Smash Burger Fries
    Jeremy A.

    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!

    Truffle Butter Burger w/ Fries
    Kevin O.

    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.

    Lettuce wrapped
    Ted H.

    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

    They got the meats!
    John T.

    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.

    truffle fries
    Sharon G.

    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.

    Ribeye Steak with Truffle Butter + fries and mashed potatoes  sides
    Shanna F.

    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!

    OG Burger ($15) mostly bread...
    Jordan H.

    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.

    Butcher's Burger
    Nathan P.

    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.

    Garlic smash burger
    Justina T.

    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.

    Never disappoints no matter what you order. My family and I have been customers for many years and…read moreI thought I would update my Yelp review only to shockingly learn I didn't have one?! SMH so here goes. Located in industrial area and within a business complex near Dland, plenty of parking including valet. Upon entry the vibe is modern man cave woodsy chalet with leather furniture and animal skin backs. Service is usually solid (some staff better than others) but the main show is the menu. They have unique offerings that is not easily available at other establishments such as the country fried quail appetizer. Trust me, this one is a MUST! We've converted non-believers into those that finish the last bite refusing to share this dish. Their steak offerings no matter what cut you get will almost always be cooked the way you requested and the flavors are definitely high end steakhouse. Prime rib is hands down better than Lawry's, no questions! For dessert, there is an off menu item which most gate keep but I'm going to share it: popcorn ice cream! Don't judge just try! Tip: please make sure to check their website for their strictly enforced dress code. CA casual can get one denied.

    This was not a bad meal. This was a fucking disgrace…read more Most of the food we were served was either rotten, visibly spoiled, or had fucking mold on it. Let that sink in. MOLD. ON. THE. FOOD. At a restaurant charging these ridiculous prices, that is completely fucking unacceptable. How incompetent does a kitchen have to be for rotten and moldy food to make it out of the kitchen and onto a customer's fucking table? The food was horrendous. Every dish felt like another fucking insult to the amount of money being charged. There was nothing remotely impressive about what we were served. This wasn't some minor issue where one appetizer was disappointing. The meal as a whole was a fucking disaster. Andd then you have the nerve to charge steakhouse prices for this bullshit. You are not some cheap neighborhood restaurant where people expect to roll the dice on food quality. You're charging premium prices and presenting yourselves as an upscale dining experience. Then serve fucking spoiled food? Are you serious? I genuinely don't understand how anyone in that kitchen looked at some of this food and thought, "Yep, that's good enough to serve." What the actual fuck? Do people not inspect the ingredients before putting them on a plate? Do they not notice when something is VISIBLY fucking moldy or rotten? This is basic common sense. The entire experience was infuriating. The food was disgusting, the value was fucking pathetic, and the whole thing felt like a massive waste of money. You can have the fancy dining room, the expensive menu, the polished presentation, and whatever other bullshit comes with pretending to be a luxury restaurant. None of that matters when the food itself is fucking unacceptable. A restaurant can survive a mediocre dish. It can survive slow service. It can survive a disappointing night. What it should absolutely never have to explain is why customers are being served food that appears rotten or covered in mold. I have genuinely never been so fucking baffled by a restaurant's complete lack of quality control. This wasn't "not my taste." This wasn't "a little underwhelming." This was fucking disgusting. If you're charging this much money, I expect food that is fresh, safe, and worth eating. That is literally the fucking bare minimum. Instead, we got food that looked and tasted like someone had forgotten it existed and then decided to serve it anyway. Save your fucking money. There are countless restaurants that should be grateful for your business and actually understand that paying customers deserve fresh food and basic fucking standards. I wouldn't willingly eat here again if someone paid me to. And somehow, the insanity didn't even end when we left. There was a homeless man outside who repeatedly wouldn't stop licking my shoes. After an already fucking disgusting meal, having someone repeatedly invade my personal space and licking my fucking shoes was the final bizarre cherry on top of an experience that somehow managed to get worse every step of the way.

    Finally got to go to Stubrik's! Went on a date night with Katie, we were craving steaks. Normally I…read morehate parking in DTF for dinner but I decided it would be worth it, and I wasn't wrong. Very cool dimly lit old building with modern whiskey bar vibes. I loved the big bar in the dining room. Servers were quick and friendly. We started with the cajun shrimp and some jalapeño poppers. There was a ton of cajun sauce on the shrimp which was flavorful and decently spicy, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The jalapeño poppers were battered and fried like a cheaper restaurant would have. The cheese inside wasn't fully melted. Wouldn't get them again but they did the trick. We both got the top sirloin, hers was black and blue (stuffed with blue cheese and smothered in a burgundy blue cheese sauce), while mine was bare. These were some of the most tender sirloin steaks we've ever had. Mine might as well have been a filet mignon! Medium rare, perfectly pink from edge to edge, nice seasoned crust on the outside. Hers had tons of flavor from all the sauce and blue cheese. The veggies on the side were all good and cooked well. I got the housemade potato, broccoli, cheddar soup, and although it burned my tongue, it was very good. Definitely worth a trip and I'll be back for more steaks!

    Great spot to meet after work or on weekends Love the food and service, great vibe ! I'll be backread more
