The butcher burger and tallow fries fire never disappoints highly recommend this place

This is a burger and steak sandwich place in the Rodeo 72 food court. I had the primal philly and onion rings. It was pretty good -- about average. I would have preferred that the steak were chopped up a little more ... And the sandwich was a little dry overall. The onion rings were good but pretty overpriced. Service was pretty good. read more

Not a gluten free establishment. No gluten free bread and the fries have wheat on them. Service was helpful. The spot was cool. Lots of action. People dancing. Not a safe spot for anyone with a gluten problem. read more

Tried Primal Cuts by the old Fred C. Nelles site in Whittier, California, which used to be a juvenile correctional facility. The food is really good, the seating area is comfortable, and the service is fast and friendly. I still have my favorite hamburger spot, but this place has a great hamburger, nice scenery, and you're right by the bar, so it's a cool place to relax with a coffee. If you're ever in the area, come check it out and you tell me what you think. read more

Good traditional smash burger and side of mushrooms. Don't like that it all comes in plastic packaging with plastic utensils, even if you plan to eat it there. Too many restaurants are cutting corners these days at the cost of the environment and the customer experience. I'd pay a little more to be able to eat off a plate that gets washed and reused. The prices were good - there's room to do this. read more

So I came here after seeing a few people post about it on social media, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the smashburger and the fries. The burger was just good, but not great, in my opinion. The meat quality was very good, and you could taste it; but the patty didn't have enough seasoning, which led to kind of a lackluster burger. The primary flavors you get from the burger are the meat and the onions, can't really taste the sauce. The fries however, were amazing; probably one of the best fries I've had in a long time. They do advertise the fries as tallow fries, and I think you can definitely tell. Price wise, I think the burger is pretty small for 8$, and the fries are steep at 6$, but the fries are definitely worth any upcharge for the additional flavors from the beef tallow. read more

Yum!!! Ordered the smash burger and fries, it's awesome you can place the order at the Rodeo bar. Service is fast and friendly, and easy. You can eat inside or on the patio. Sorry we were enjoying the day out and hungry no pictures to share, next time :) We will definitely order again read more

Prime Cuts is my go-to spot once or twice a week. The smash burgers, wings, and fries are always on point. Mari usually takes my order, and she's always smiling with a positive attitude every time I come in. I also learned the name of the gentleman in the back, Anthony. He brings out the food and always takes a moment to say what's up. Another great person who makes the experience enjoyable. Prime Cuts must have great management because everyone there seems genuinely happy and welcoming. Keep up the great work! read more

Honestly a great spot and great mangament, Mari was so nice when she took my order she had such great attitude as well as convincing me to try the onion rings with my order. My husband also loved how accommodating they were when he asked Mari to do more than one modification to his burger. I also loved how much the guy in the back I believe is named Anthony or Antonio was, he looked like he was having so much fun making the food. My husband and I will definitely come back and try the Philly they have, it looks very good, we love a good burger and good Philly thank you guys!! read more

This Primal Cuts locations is inside of Rodeo 72 Public Market. Their food stall is in a corner near Capo Public House and next to Shootz. They're known for their different steak options, but they also have burgers. I got the Butchers Burger, and honestly it was a really good burger! It's a 1/2 lb black angus beef burger with Swiss, garlic aioli, caramelized onions, arugula, and sun tried tomatoes. Juicy, flavorful, and a lot of umami! I really enjoyed it and would come back again for it! Lots of seating options in this food hall. read more

This place is legit. It's inside Rodeo 72 which is a food hall. The place gets popping and can be vibrant with activity. My wife and I ordered smash burgers and The wait wasn't too long. Both burgers were delicious although a little one note in flavor. You can tell they use high quality ingredients. We also got the tallow fries and buttery buffalo wings and both were outrageously delicious. Nice bite to them. All in all we will be back and I highly recommend trying it out. read more

I tried the smash burger at Primal Cuts in Rodeo 72. The bun is small but the burger is big, both the flavor and the size. The burger hangs over the bun. Very juicy with lots of good meat flavor. No lettuce, tomatoes, or onions just meat ,cheese, pickles and bun. Definitely a better class of meat than you get at a fast food restaurant. If you are a meat lover this is for you. The service was fast. Rodeo 72 offers a beautiful environment to enjoy your meal with a choice of inside or outside dining. read more

I have to say this picanha was soooo much better than the one at fogo de chao!!!! Got a side of tallow fries - and those were superb! They stayed crispy and yummy through my drive home and waiting for my family to try them. I appreciated that this was sliced for me- because plastic cutlery is just is not very helpful with cutting steaks. My only issue is I am a broke teacher in the summer and I wish there was a combo or a special that includes a side. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to try the smash burger, we also ordered the pichana medium with mashed potatoes. The smash burger was overcooked and the patty was hard to bit into, we ended up using a fork and knife to eat the burger. The steak was cooked well done and super chewy, we were a bit disappointed since our friends like the Rodeo 39 location. The mashed potatoes were great though, very garlicy and creamy. read more

Service was ok. Fries were good. Ribeye steak was good but seemed small for the price. If I come back I will not be getting the ribeye. read more

Elevated Steak Experience at Primal Cuts! Primal Cuts delivers a modern steakhouse experience with a serious focus on quality--and oh my it's my favorite eatery at the new Rodeo 72. Meat? Top tier super juicy. Customer service? Efficient yet palpably nice. Sourcing? Sustainable from small family ranches. You can taste the difference... chef's kiss. I highly recommend the ribeye cooked medium, paired with their cowboy butter--it has a subtle sour tang with bright lemony notes that elevate the richness of the steak beautifully. For sides, don't miss the mashed potatoes and mushrooms--both are simple, hearty, and full of flavor. Soooo...... Whether you're a steak connoisseur or just in the mood for something indulgent, Primal Cuts is a must-try at Rodeo 72. Premium meat, perfect execution, and a truly satisfying meal. read more

Went to Rodeo 72 for the first time and decided to try the burger at Primal cut. We got the Butchery burger and it was OK. The fries were the star of the show. They charge extra if you want additional ketchup. We paid just shy of $40 for 1 burger, fries, and onion rings. Really? read more

Wow, what a nice surprise in a food hall. I was a bit skeptical because the prices were at the level you would expect if a quality steak house, but it actually met the mark! I tried the 8 oz Pichana steak, with a side of broccolini. Both were cooked perfect!! Only suggestion is to hold off a little on the butter. Seemed like everything had a lot of butter on it, but I still really enjoyed it. Staff was nice, and quick. Vibe at Rodeo 72 was lively and fun too. We enjoyed it. read more

Mari was extra friendly and helpful! The burger was juicy and delicious. I love the onion rings with their fresh batter as well. I also like that they serve the customers at Capo while we watch the Dodgers game. Keep it up! read more

I visited the Whittier location on Wednesday, August 8th, after having positive experiences at the Stanton location many times. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. I noticed staff serving other guests their food directly, yet our order received no such service. I ordered a medium filet mignon, but it arrived closer to medium-well, which is frustrating when paying for a higher-quality cut of meat. The offer to remake it was declined because it had already taken around 30 minutes to receive our order on a day that wasn't even busy. To make matters worse, the steak was cold, meat was tough while the fries were crispy hot. When I asked to speak with a manager, the front staff member brought out a gentleman who admitted he was not a manager. I later learned there was no manager on site at all. The staff member told me a manager would contact me, but I have yet to hear back. Overall, the lack of quality food, long wait time, and absence of proper management make this location not worth the price. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

This place is an food hall in Whittier and i wanted to try it since i love a good piece of steak I got the filet mignon, a salad and a few sides The prices is on the pricey side for a food hall, but i was with the idea that the $90 we're gonna be worth it just like any restaurant My steak came out medium after I asked for medium rare, not a big deal, I asked the cashier what the house sale had and she didn't know and when I got my salad it was just like cafeteria salad, with yellow cheese on top, the ambiance is great at the hall since they have live music a bar and more places to try, definitely not good a k to this establishment, but definitely trying something else read more

The service was really good. The young girl taking the orders was super nice and attentive. The butchers burger was tasty. The toppings all complimented the burger really well. My only complain is that my burger was cooked well done despite ordering medium cooked. The burger still had good flavor. The order took about 15 mins to be ready, not too bad. read more

Tried for the first time today, Had the smash burger, it was really good, the only disappointment was that I went on a Sunday afternoon and they were out of fries! I wouldn't expect a place like this to run out of fries on a weekend day, that's usually when you would be fully stocked, in my opinion, so it was a little disappointing not to have fries with my burger. read more

Tried this place twice in one week. First time had the OG burger - patty was very thick & big. Seemed like it was missing something but the fries with some bbq sauce saved the day! Went back to try a smasher burger. Partty was smashed n thin, nice size, about half the size of the OG burger. I actually prefer the smasher burger between the two but this time the cashier tried charging me over $1 for some bbq sauce!! I explained I wasn't charged before. The cashier didn't care and asked if I wanted to pay cash or charge. I said never mind, in just spent over $100 with my family here, I shouldn't have to pay over $1 for a side of bbq sauce! Never again will I go back to this type of establishment that Nickle n dimes their customers. Very sad to see this type of service at such a great place.. read more

Paid $66.30 for broccolini , fries, asparagus and a medium Ribeye. The steak was meh and overcooked. They made it welldone. Since the steak was meh I asked for steaksauce and they did not have any. The fries and veggies are bomb but the steak was a big disappointment. Would I come back....??? not for the steak, just for the fries and sides. I can't wait to try the burger. Service was good. read more

Every time I come to Rodeo72, I always stop by Primal Cuts to grab a quick bite and they never disappoint! The staff here are super friendly and had really good recommendations. Today I got the Picanha as a full plate with mashed potatoes & asparagus for my sides and it came out to about $32 which is a pretty good deal if you ask me. Their burgers are also super bomb and they have really good shareable items if you're in the mood for something lighter! read more

We were met with kindness by the staff. We ordered the Pichana Steak, Classic smash burger, mash potato and fries. We were happy with the flavor of the meat.

I've gotta give a shoutout to the beef tallow fries and house-made ranch at Primal Cuts. They seriously blew me away. The fries had this rich flavor you just don't get with regular oil. You can taste the difference that beef tallow makes is actually noticeable. But the real surprise was the ranch! I asked the cashier if it was made in-house, and they told me it's made fresh with all real ingredients and wow, you can taste the difference! I even went back and bought a couple more just to what else I could eat with. Seriously... don't sleep on the ranch or the fries. It's clear Primal Cuts cares about every detail when it comes to ingredients. read more

This place was great! Loved our burgers and some of the best mash potatoes we've had in a long time. Thanks Primal Cuts!!

I recently visited Primal Cuts and had an overall fantastic experience. I ordered the ribeye steak and the butcher's burger, and both dishes definitely impressed me. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly, just the right amount of char on the outside while still juicy and tender on the inside. Definitely one of the better steaks I've had in a while! The butcher's burger was also a standout. The patty was thick and juicy, and the flavor of the beef really came through. The bun was soft, and the toppings were fresh and balanced without overpowering the burger. If you're a burger lover, I'd say this is a must-try. The atmosphere was welcoming, with a modern yet rustic vibe. The staff was friendly, though the service was a little slower than expected. That said, it was definitely worth the wait. Overall, Primal Cuts is definitely worth checking out if you're craving a good steak or burger. I'll be back soon for sure! read more
