    First time trying the burgers.  I got the classic smash burger. $5 special on Tuesday's !

    Inside the Rodeo 73 hall. Good for hanging out and catching a game. Friendly service and good food !

    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.

    Smash burger and fries
    Kevin N.

    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.

    So dissapointed in this food. Stanton was way better. Ordered my steak rare and it came out medium well , I ordered truffle butter and it just tasted like garlic butter. Had absolutely no truffle flavor like it used to.

    Butchers Burger

    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.

    Garlic smash burger. Smash burger. Tallow fries. Buttery buffalo wings.

    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.

    Wings were soooo tasty If you're looking for a small and simple burger the smash burger is a nice snack, fries also had a nice crunch

    Picanha with roasted garlic herb butter
    Elizabeth M.

    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.

    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.

    Ribeye steak with side of mushrooms and mashed potatoes

    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.

My friends shared the Short Rib Pappardelle, which was a generous portion for two people. We didn't realize it was prepared right in front of you, so getting to watch it being made was such a special treat! The only small downside was that my friends felt the Short Rib Pappardelle needed a little more flavor. They ended up adding some salt to bring out the taste. I have to give a huge shoutout to our waiter! He overheard us saying happy birthday to our friend, and without us even asking, he brought her a complimentary dessert. Such a thoughtful gesture and definitely made the night extra special. Overall, we had a great time and really appreciated the attentive service and little touches that made our dinner memorable!

Obviously steaks but chicken and seafood are also ok the menu.

Very good value! Our server was excellent! She kept our drinks full and explained everything on the menu! She also went out of her way to meet all the requests from our large group (including our bill splitting request). Ambience is best described as dark.

Even when they're slammed, Tiffany has never been short or rude or grumpy towards me or any other customer that I've seen. 3) The food: classic, huge portions. I always have enough leftovers for a second meal later in the day or the following day. I love this establishment and hope it remains open for many more years!

Maybe I've gotten spoiled by some of the great Vegas steakhouses like Bavette's, where the food and service are consistently fantastic, but tonight's experience at Old Brea felt a little off. We were seated against the wall with a great view of the dining room and bar, and the first thing I noticed was the lighting over the bar. The large, round tube-style fixtures really took away from the atmosphere. The light was much cooler and harsher than the warm, sultry lighting throughout the rest of the restaurant and honestly reminded me a little of fluorescent convenience-store lighting. It sounds minor, but from where I was sitting, it was surprisingly distracting. Service was also a little clunky. We started with one server and then, midway through dinner, another server seemed to take over. I'm used to steakhouses where servers work as a team, but usually that's communicated from the beginning. Here, the transition seemed unexpected and resulted in a few communication misses. Two of the three people at our table were celebrating birthdays, for example, but our second server had no idea. Not a huge deal on its own, but those little service touches matter--especially at a higher-end restaurant and when you're celebrating something. To her credit, once I mentioned the two birthdays, she graciously took care of our ice cream and birthday dessert without hesitation. I appreciated that, although the overall experience still felt a little disjointed and took some of the air out of the celebration. As for the food, there were definitely some highlights. The bread basket was delicious, and waters came out immediately. We started with the clams, which were a special appetizer that evening. I love steamers and order them pretty often, but unfortunately I didn't care for this preparation. The sherry made the broth sweeter than I prefer, rather than bright and crisp, and the clams themselves were tiny, with quite a few missing from their shells. When steamers are really good, I usually want to soak up every last bit of broth with the bread. I didn't have that urge here. The Braised Short Ribs, however, were a completely different story. Hearty, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. Absolutely no notes--10/10. I also tried the Center Cut Ribeye. The inside was cooked to the requested medium, so no complaints about temperature, but the exterior was overly charred and tasted burnt in spots. The steak had good flavor but was also a little chewy and fibrous, which was disappointing. The broccolini and sautéed spinach were both prepared well and complemented the entrées nicely. The sea bass was another standout--soft, buttery, flaky, and perfectly prepared. Unfortunately, the steak and clams ended up being the two most underwhelming dishes of the evening. One other small service suggestion: when a table is celebrating a birthday, it would be nice for the server to explain what the complimentary birthday dessert is when dropping off the dessert menu. Aside from simply knowing what's coming, someone could have an allergy or dietary restriction. That said, the chocolate birthday dessert was very good and beautifully presented, with a soft, creamy center that reminded me of whipped ganache. Of the ice creams and sorbets, the passion fruit/pineapple was easily my favorite. I'm normally a lemon sorbet girl, but this one was much too tart for me. Overall, there were some excellent dishes--the short ribs and sea bass especially--and I appreciated how our second server handled the birthday desserts once she knew we were celebrating. But between the inconsistent service, atmosphere details, and disappointing steak and clams, the evening didn't quite have the polished feel I remembered from Old Brea Chop House.
