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

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

    What I ordered
    Allison N.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    They pre cut your steak and it's over cooked.

    Steak was wayyyyy over cooked . I ordered the steak medium and it came out well done... quite disappointing... especially for a steak joint

    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!

The shrimp linguine another hit with fresh tomatoes and jumbo shrimp with a nice snap. The light seasoning with lots of garlic was just perfect. We also ordered the beef short ribs. My friend said it melted on her mouth and the fresh mash potatoes- just right. Did I mention the portions were huge! Lots of goodies to take with us. To add to the dining experience we watched as patrons steadily came and went throughout the evening. You can tell this is a favorite for many. There were High-5s, handshakes and lots of "Welcome back friends!" Just an overall beautifully decked out neighborhood restaurant with so much heart and soul. I heard that the restaurant has been handed down from their grandparents... I'm sure they would be very proud. Highly recommend.

Today I took my sister to introduce her to the best steak sandwich around. She started eating before me and said it was not that good. I'm looking at her like she's crazy as I put mayo and mustard on my Sammy. I take the first bite and notice this is NOT the flavor that I had before. Added a little salt and pepper thinking that will help. NOPE! Each bite was tough and loaded with gristle or inedible fat or something that I couldn't separate with my teeth. I'm pulling pieces apart and having to eat around the tough meat. I took the sandwich up to the register and asked them if they changed the cut of meat they use. They said no, it's always been either rib eye or NY. Every single one of the many I'd had before were the same. This one was different. Even looked different, as if it had been run through a machine in an attempt to tenderize it. Didn't work! You could see through some parts kind of like the way a knitted scarf would look If you stretched it out and could see the holes in it. Anyway, the guy said, "You must have got a tough cut" or "bad cut". I can't remember exactly the wording. But then he just shrugged me off. No offer to fix the problem. I was hungry, I hadn't had breakfast, and it was obvious the guy didnt care, so I just went back to my table and ate the rest of the bread and fixings while gnawing off any edible meat from my horrible steak. $26 for a sandwich and fries. Not willing to spend that much and hope I get a good cut of meat. I'm done.
