Easily one of the best steakhouses when dine at in the DFW area. Steak was very well seasoned. The ambience is very intimate and the drinks were festive and good. Our service was amazing as well with our waiter Grant giving me a rose to give to my wife. Very nice ending to a great dinner. read more

We came here for our anniversary dinner and grant was our server. The food quality of the food and drinks were exceptional ! The ambiance was pretty nice and relaxing. I have gluten and dairy intolerance and the chef was able to meet my dietary restrictions. Grant noticed a cream on the dish and took it back before I could even think about it so I'm so grateful for being on the lookout! Will definitely come back ! read more

Love this place, we will be coming back. Grant was our server and he was wonderful! The food was so delicious, I highly recommend the dry aged NY and the peppercorn sauce. The decor is so cute! Its giving very much HOTD. read more

I was super excited for this steakhouse from the get-go especially advertising the medieval themed decors, drinks and much more. I absolutely loved the service. Steve was an amazing person who attended us well. He told us about the history and reccoms. Tiny, the manager also introduced himself and I felt like that was really sweet. I saw him give some couples from roses due to their occasion I am guessing and that was so sweet of yall! Anywho, the food was amazing! I ordered the Lobster bisque which was a 5/5!For my entree I ordered the blackened salmon 4/5. My family had their Delmonico which he really liked. My other two friends ordered from the $70 course meal which comes with Appetizer, main entree and dessert and it looked great. For the price, the $70 deal is worth it! We also tried their cake (apologies I forgot the name) but it was the best cake I ever had. Amazing breading and not dry. I had their peach cobbler and it was soo great! 5/5. This place has lots of potential and were really welcoming. I recommend! read more

Would I recommend Primal Steakhouse for a small family dinner? Absolutely. The food is wonderful, and the atmosphere is really fun! However, we recently tried to celebrate my husband and daughter's birthdays there with a party of 12, and unfortunately, the large-party policies made the experience much more complicated and honestly absurd than expected. We were told we would need to place a $150 deposit, which I completely understand. We were then told there was an $80 minimum spend per person, regardless of age, that had to be met before tax and tip. I can absolutely understand requiring a deposit for a large party, and I can understand applying a higher gratuity for a group of this size. But requiring an $80-per-person minimum before tax and tip, on top of the large-party gratuity, feels excessive. This is especially difficult for families with children who may not need an $80 meal, as well as elderly family members who may regularly split meals due to medications that affect their appetite and make it difficult for them to eat a full meal. Unfortunately, these requirements make it very difficult to have a family celebration with 10 or more people. So while I would still recommend Primal for a smaller family dinner, I would definitely encourage larger parties to review the policies carefully before making plans. I am especially disappointed because my family was literally the first family to ever register for and partake in their brunch and the owner was absolutely exceptional! I have a feeling he is not aware that such restrictions are being placed, which are encouraging loyal patrons to seek celebrations elsewhere. The food and atmosphere are great--we just wish the large-party policies made it easier for families to celebrate together. read more

I'm already planning to come back next year. This place is a GREAT find. It's medieval GOT themed. You can take pictures with swords and helmets. There's over flowing candles everywhere. It's very cozy, intimate, and romantic. The lighting is complete with a candle on the table and lights stringed above. Everything was perfect. The drinks. The sides. The food. The service! Talia was our server and she provided great conversation & recommendations. The cocktails have GOT themed names. Certain ones come in a horn or goblet on fire!! Very date night and Instagram-able. read more

We came here for a friends birthday last night and had mixed experience. There were a few bumps in the road, but we give major kudos to how the situation was handled. The food was good overall and everyone enjoyed what they had. (2 filets, a Delmonico, and a short rib). All were tasty. Three meals came out together and the fourth was cooked wrong so it was refired before making it to the table. We appreciated that it was noticed and corrected by the staff. One of the three meals was incorrect. I ordered the short rib and the server brought the short rib pasta. The manager Brandon questioned it as I had talked with him about it before I ordered. Once he noticed it, they immediately corrected it. It was tender and delicious! The atmosphere was fun. Very dark inside but that is part of the vibe. It was fun to play with the swords and armor. The service was overall good. We were greeted by the manager Brandon and the hostess Brooke. They immediately set the tone for a fun night. They were playful, yet professional and had great personalities! Our server Grant did not have a great table side manner. It wasn't bad or rude, it just did not match the energetic greeting we started with. The birthday girl is gluten free and the server did not take the time to explain what items were or could be made GF when asked. The server basically said, I'm not ready to take order yet. That said, she could not decide on her meal because she didn't know what she could order. She decided on a filet and was happy with the meal. When the server said he was bringing the birthday dessert, I asked if it was GF. I don't recall what he said but he did bring a scoop of vanilla ice cream along with their normal birthday dessert. I felt like he would not have done that if I had not asked, but I can't say that confidently. It seemed he needed to be reminded repeatedly about her gluten allergy. Overall we had a good experience with a few bumps. Those bumps were handled promptly and professionally by Brandon and Brooke. We will likely be back for another try in the future. Brooke needs a promotion to be a server, and Brandon does a great job managing the place. Brandon and Brooke made our experience a positive one. read more

Primal Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - The Colony, Texas

Primal Steakhouse, The Colony: A Vegas Concept That Falls Short My boyfriend and I visited Primal Steakhouse on a Friday night, excited to try the Las Vegas concept that recently opened in The Colony. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype. The medieval-themed décor felt more like Medieval Times Dallas than an upscale steakhouse. Service was okay, and our waiter was attentive throughout the evening. The food was hit or miss. The complimentary bread was overly oily, and the tomato spread was unexpectedly sweet. We ordered the crab cakes and it tasted like frozen. The wedge salad arrived with blue cheese crumbles but no dressing, leaving it dry until we requested dressing . Our steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and was good. The sides, however, were disappointing. The mushrooms lacked flavor, and the mac and cheese was bland. We also tried the chimichurri, which came at an extra charge and was far too acidic for our taste. The table setup felt awkward for a date night, and the live music lacked the sound quality needed to create a lively atmosphere. Overall, while the service was okay and the steak was good, the restaurant lacked the wow factor you'd expect from Las Vegas i. We left disappointed. ******Update****** I simply shared my honest experience as a paying customer. After reading the owner's response, I'll let future customers decide what reflects the business more accurately the review or the response. read more

I came here with my husband for date night. As soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly by staff members and taken to our table. They have live entertainment and I totally loved the medieval aesthetic of the place. You will definitely feel like you are dining in a medieval castle making it romantic and absolutely perfect for a date. Now let's talk about the food. It was absolutely amazing. All of it!! First they bring you complimentary Texas Toast with bacon jam and that alone was delicious. For our appetizer we had their crab cakes and those were pretty good. For my meal I ordered the Delmonico with fries and a caesar salad. That steak has been one of my favorites steaks I have eaten in a while, so tender and flavorful despite my well done preference. Fries were perfectly cooked and the salad was decent. Dessert we picked the chocolate cake and that was the perfect item to end dinner. They also have themed cocktails which I had to try. I had Mother of Dragons and Viking Punch. Both of them delicious but my favorite was the Viking Punch, plus is served in a Viking horn. The service here was phenomenal. Our waiter took great care of us and on top of that management would check on us regularly to make sure we were having a good experience. Tiny one of the managers introduced himself to us, and was very friendly. To end the night the waiter brought my husband a single rose to give to me, which was such a sweet touch. Overall amazing place with great food. I highly recommend dining here. read more

A few nights ago we went to Primal Steakhouse in The Colony. Its their second location with Vegas being the first and that one has great reviews. Having great reviews for a steakhouse in Vegas NOT on the strip...... We had high hopes. The menu isn't very large and several of the items were not available. The story was there was an influencer that showed up a few days earlier and posted something on social media and that caused the food items not being available. Since they had just opened in Feb we figured growing pains. It's loosely based on Game of Thrones. The decor is very medieval in a good way. It's dark and romantic with only flames as lighting except the glaring open door to the kitchen. It was my wife's birthday and everyone knew, staff members. My wife started with a drink called "The Red Wedding". It was delicious! Everything was very good except the steaks. They were not great. A lot of grisel. And OMG the dinner took forever. It started at 6:30 and we were leaving at 9:30. 30 minutes between courses was ridiculous. As we saw other people come and go, we were anxious and pissy by the end as we wanted to come home and have a birthday bonfire. As stated earlier, it was my wife's birthday, we saw others receive the birthday dessert with candle served with other desserts. After waiting about 20 minutes for our peach dessert to be delivered, that wasn't, I asked to speak with the mgr, Brandon. Brandon never came to the table, he sort of vanished from the floor and we explained the frustration to our server who we had to ask where our dessert was and ask for the birthday dessert. 40 years in customer service, if a client/customer ask to speak to a mgr and that mgr does not make an attempt, we have issues. That being said...... We both decided we would go back as except for the timing it was good! read more

My experience at Primal Steakhouse was phenomenal. The bartender and the young man that assisted us were very knowledgeable about the establishment and the menu options. We ordered the crap cakes for an appetizer (3/5). For dinner I ordered the 8 oz filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes and hubby ordered the 16 oz prime smoked New York steak and mushrooms (5/5). We ordered the chocolate lava cake to go, but I wasn't impressed. The drinks were a show all their own (see my attached photos and videos). I had The Red Wedding, and hubby ordered the King's Elixir, a creative take on a smoked Old Fashioned (5/5). Overall, the service, the drinks, the steaks and the sides were all amazing. They fell short on the crap cakes and the chocolate lava cake. Would I return again, ABSOLUTELY! read more

​We wanted to love this spot, but unfortunately, we won't be back. While the ambiance was lovely, our experience with the food was highly disappointing. It took 45 to 50 minutes for our entrees to arrive, and the preparation fell short across the board: ​The Steak: Ordered medium, but served medium-rare, cold in the middle, and severely under-seasoned. ​The Salmon: Also arrived cold and lacked flavor. ​The Burger: Just okay, but again, very bland. ​We had to rely heavily on the table salt and pepper just to give the dishes some taste. ​On a positive note, the service was excellent. Our server did a great job, and the manager was incredibly nice, personable, and attentive. However, given the long wait times and poorly prepared food, the great service wasn't enough to justify a return visit read more

I meet a friend that is a fellow yelper at Primal Steakhouse for happy hour. I was glad to get the invite because I hadn't heard about the place and it's close to my job. The ambiance is a dark moody medieval castle type feel. It's casual and welcoming. We arrived early for happy hour at 4:30pm and went to the bar. We were served by Hailey. She was wonderful explaining the drinks and they all came with a show. I decided to go with the drink similar to a smoky old fashioned, kings elixor. I enjoyed the smoky part of the presentation of the drink and the flavor that it left in the drink. It was strong and tasty and the perfect spin on an old fashioned. They served Texas toast with a roasted marinara jam sauce. It was delicious. I wish they would have brought a second serving of that. We got the crab cakes and the garlic shrimp. I thought both were ok but both could have been spicier and more flavorful. I think either could have taken a Cajun or more garlic spin and set them off. Overall the drinks are perfect and the food has room for improvement. read more

Primal Steakhouse - Lobster bisque was delicious - Steakhouses Near Me - The Colony, Texas

We had such an incredible dining experience at Primal Steakhouse! The food was absolutely delicious--from the perfectly prepared filet and sea bass to the risotto, everything was fantastic. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and exceeded our expectations. Our waiter, Steve, provided perfect service. He was chill, personable, and incredibly charismatic, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in what he does. The chef even came out to our table, which was such a nice touch. He was incredibly personable, kind, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience and the food he create read more

Primal comes to us from Las Vegas. Welcome to TEXAS! The atmosphere is dramatic and the ambiance is modern, but classic and chic. It's DARK, SEXY, MYSTERIOUS and COOL! Think knights in shining armor and castle vibes. I love the red decor as it's bright, but sophisticated at the same time. I like the medieval theme makes it look exciting. We decided to visit for my favorite HOUR. They offer great HAPPY HOUR specials on appetizers and cocktails. It was a pleasurable time. My HAPPY HOUR experience was so AMAZING! I was feeling happy and satisfied. Once I got use to the idea of dark and dim lighting. I met up with my SOUL sister a fellow yelper to share the NEW experience. We sat at the bar and ordered appetizers and cocktails. The bartender was GREAT. Hailey was so friendly, helpful, fun and polished. She also makes some of the best DAMN DRINKS! Her customer service skills are on point and her drink making skills are perfect. The drink presentations are FIRE! Definitely theatrical and photo/video worthy. I was impressed with all the drinks and presentations. Up first was the Viking Punch and it comes in a cool Viking horn glass. It's a mix of Ketel One Peach Orange Blossom, Black Infusions Apricot, Sour, OJ, Cranberry, Absinthe. It was FANTASTIC! Next was the Kings Elixor which has Bourbon, Cocktail & Sons Spiced Demerara, Lemon Bitters, Woodchip Smoke Infusion. It was DIVINE! My favorite was the RED Wedding Cocktail! It is made with Ciroc Limonata, Pallini Limoncello, Lemon Juice, Raspberry Puree. Down right heavenly and delicious. YUM! Honorable Mention is the Sangria. Presentation is cool with the fire, but this drink is STRONG. It's not your average Sangria. For food we tried the crab cakes first. They were tasty and full of crab meat. I appreciated that the crab cakes weren't full of fillers and had actual CRAB. It came with two sauces a mango salsa and a spicy dip. Next we tried the shrimp appetizer. The shrimp were HUGE. They lacked in flavor though. I didn't care for them. These need a revamp something is off with the sauce and seasoning. We also had some soft toast with the most scrumptious tomato bacon jam. The jam was smoky and unique. It was different, but really good. All of the staff were friendly. We met the manager and chef. They were all nice and welcoming. I had a wonderful time and will be back for drinks and to try an entree. They passed the testing phase for me. Wishing them much success! They are definitely developing the concept and determined to make it better and better. They will be adding on an additional room that will feel like a speakeasy. Also on the weekends they offer live entertainment. Make those reservations and go explore the menu. read more

Primal Steakhouse - Hostess Stand - Steakhouses Near Me - The Colony, Texas

New spot just opened and we were ready to try it. We had been keeping an eye on it and finally made it in. I arrived a little early and there were a few guys waiting ahead of me. I'm not sure if there was some confusion, but I wasn't acknowledged at first. Thankfully another staff member came over shortly after, got me checked in, and was very kind. From there, things definitely turned around. I was seated first, and our server was incredibly polite and welcoming. They started us off with complimentary bread and a tomato jam that was a really nice touch and honestly delicious. Once my friend arrived, we ordered the bone marrow appetizer. It looked beautiful when it came out, but there wasn't much marrow to actually enjoy. It was a bit dried out, so while the presentation was great, it didn't quite live up to the price. For my main, I went with the Delmonico steak. It was a generous portion and definitely on the pricier side. It was cooked well, just not as flavorful as I had hoped for. The side sauces were a nice addition but for an extra charge. We also shared the lobster Mac and cheese- very rich and luxurious- $25, large bowl of it. Buttery, cheesy and divine. We wrapped things up with the peach cobbler. It was decent, but the peaches could have been softer to really make it shine. Where this place truly stands out is the service. Multiple staff members checked in on us throughout the meal, and everyone was attentive, friendly, and professional. The space itself is also really nice and has a great atmosphere. Overall, a solid experience with some highlights and a few things that could be refined, but the service alone makes it worth a visit. read more

I loved the atmosphere. Service is a bit slow with long waits between getting a greeting, drinks, appetizers and entrée. The food all came out in weird intervals. I received my steak but nothing else with it. No one at my table had anything yet. And so on until we had everything. I will say the smoked steak was good flavor wise but the cut was chewy in multiple places. I'm not sure if I got some tendon or what...and I received it on the Luke warm side. It was cold by the time everything else was served. I was surprised they charge $62 and not one side comes with the steak. I wouldn't buy the bone marrow again.. or the French onion soup. It was okay. The short rib was good, mashed potatoes were great. Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite. Brussels sprouts were great. It was my birthday! They give you a bite size birthday treat. It was awful tasting. I ordered two desserts. I had two different employees tell me their butter cake was the best. I ordered that and their lava cake. I'm not a picky person but it was really not pleasant. Dry and little flavor. Slightly sweet very dry cornbread with a couple berries on the side lol. I was surprised anyone would recommend that. Or maybe they just needed to sell it. The lava cake is advertised as homemade so I was excited but that wasn't great either. Edible at the least. No one ate the butter cake. I think this place has good potential and maybe they are working out some kinks with being fairly new. The guy they had playing live was phenomenal! I think he's what made the evening pleasant. read more

Primal Steakhouse - Birthday treat - Steakhouses Near Me - The Colony, Texas

Primal Steakhouse has been going strong for 16 years in Vegas, but it is new to The Colony since January 2026. The gimmick is pretty cool with a viking theme. There were heavy swords and helmets up front where you can take pictures with them. The dripping taper candles gave the place an eerie feel. The drinks are cleverly named to match the theme. We had a variety of food and would come back to try other items. Here's my opinion on the food and cocktails we ordered: Emerald Serpent - If you like spicy drinks, this is the one for you. It'll give you chills up and down your spine. Viking Punch - This drink was fun - bubbly (possibly nitrogen or dry ice?), strong, and slightly sweet. I felt like a real viking drinking from the Gjallarhorn. Sourdough Toast and Bacon Jam - The absolute best part of the meal!! I still cannot believe the bread is sourdough because it was light, airy, and perfect. It tasted like a heavily buttered Texas toast. Is it really sourdough?? Yum! The Bacon Jam was good with it being slightly sweet. Ceviche - The fried plantains were nicely seasoned but clashed with the subtle fish ceviche. The ceviche needed more flavor - more salt, more lime, more of a kick. Lobster Bisque - The soup was extremely salty so I only had a couple of sips/bites. The lobster chunks were decent and the bread was good. 16 Ounce New York Strip (ran out of 24 Ounce Dry Aged Strip) - It was cooked perfectly medium rare, but the cut itself wasn't the most tender. Baked Potato - It was topped with REAL bacon and not bacon bits so that was a delight. It could have used more course sea salt on the outside. Brussel Sprouts - This was a fantastic side and I highly recommend it. Get your serving of veggies in, people! Risotto - I thought it was creamy, but the flavor was interesting. Not my favorite but my companion liked it the most. Bourbon Peach Cobbler - I liked the pecan ice cream but wished the cobbler had more dough sprinkled on top. The brown sugar was very present. French Macaron - It was a pink and green capped macaron (thought it would be watermelon flavor) but tasted like banana. Yum! The highlight of the night was the staff. I called to notify them we were running late for our reservation and they were accommodating. The hostesses were polite when we reached the host stand. Our server was spectacular as she checked up on us multiple times though it was obvious she was busy (packed house on a Saturday evening). Everyone helped out clearing our table including the manager. We were honest about the Lobster Bisque being too salty and they took care of it. Didn't expect it but that was a super sweet gesture. Because of their actions, we would definitely come back to try different drinks, non-steak entrees, and other sides. Thanks for being so hospitable! read more

We had an amazing experience celebrating our 7 years together! The food was phenomenal, the drinks were incredible, and the desserts were absolutely amazing. The ambiance was beautiful and had such a fun medieval-inspired vibe that made the whole experience feel unique. Ryan, who was both our server and bartender, was friendly, attentive, and made our night so special. Brandon, the manager, was welcoming and made sure everything was perfect. A huge thank you to the chef for coming out to our table--it was such a thoughtful touch and made our celebration even more memorable. We brought our daughter along, and it was the perfect evening.

Phenomenal experience! Wife and I went for our 15th anniversary. Our server, Christian, was a delight to have. I love the atmosphere and with live music and low lighting made it a real wonderful experience. Would definitely come here again read more

We went on a Monday night to celebrate our anniversary. Once we walked in, the decor and ambiance was perfect. The place had plenty of full tables and yet it wasn't noisy at all. We ordered our drinks which were fun plays on standard cocktails with a twist. We opted for the three course meal. We added deviled eggs which were perfect. Our steaks came out exactly as we had ordered with a nice crust on them. I had a side of Brussels sprouts which were perfectly roasted, my husband had the risotto which was both creamy and holding the right texture of the individual grains. For dessert we did one of each, but we agreed that the peach cobbler was way better. Excellent date night. Groups of all ages were there but the volume still allowed for easy conversation. Thank you for making our anniversary so special read more

We came here to celebrate my 25th birthday (aka my quarter of a century ) and it ended up being such a fun, memorable experience--especially since we were already in our medieval era for the Renaissance Fair! Ambiance The decor was really nice and fit the theme well--nothing over the top but still very thoughtfully done. The lighting was perfect too: dim enough to feel cozy and atmospheric, but you could still actually see your food (which I appreciate lol) Entertainment They had a live singer and she was absolutely lovely with such a beautiful voice! She sang a mix of older songs and newer ones, and it added so much to the overall vibe of the night! Food & Drinks The food was great across the board--everyone in our group of six loved what they ordered. And honestly, the bill was very reasonable for the quality and overall experience, which was a nice surprise. Service Shoutout to our server James--he was amazing! Super attentive without being overbearing, great at explaining the menu and drink options, and had such fun banter with our table that made the whole night even better. Overall It felt like more than just dinner--it was an experience. Definitely recommend for a birthday or any special occasion! read more

This was our first time going to Primal Steakhouse. Service was good not great. But okay. Our server Steve had no personality. The atmosphere was loud as a roadhouse and the chairs were horrible and uncomfortable to sit in. The $77 bone in ribeye I ordered medium was a tough as a shoe. My baked potato had been sitting in a warmer to the point of gumminess. It was not eatable. The 4 sprigs of asparagus for $11 Summing up the disappointment, I do not recommend this steakhouse. We will not be back. $255.42 dinner for 2. Waste of hard earned money. They have a lot of improvements needed to keep up with the surrounding Steakhouse competition.

Primal Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - The Colony, Texas

Wow! My awesome friend and I just left Primal Steakhouse after spending a delightful evening celebrating our birthdays together. I had seen that this place had recently opened its doors and couldn't wait for an opportunity to check it out. We were greeted at the door and taken right away to our table right jn front of the entertainer. He was very entertaining and added to the medieval ambiance. We ran the gamut from appetizer, soup/salad, entree, sides and dessert. The service was top notch and the food delicious. Most of what we ordered came presented table side either smoking or on fire The capp steak was succulent and melted in our mouths. The deconstructed banana split was inventive and fun (who doesn't like a scattering of gummy bears on their dessert? The service was top notch. The only area for improvement that I saw might have been a process that the people bringing food to the tables would know who ordered what and didn't have to ask when they got to the table. Overall ... an amazing night read more

I had the opportunity to dine here on a Saturday night with a group of 4. The waitstaff did a great job the hostess on duty was very welcoming. I ordered the seafood gumbo, the smoked NY steak with brussels sprouts, and the Oreo tiramisu. The gumbo was tasty; unfortunately, it was very watery as if they were stretching it, but the steak made up for it, as it was very satisfying, along with the Brussels sprouts. I can only assume the tiramisu is their interpretation, as it came in an elegant presentation glass and was very loose, as if it had not had time to settle. It tasted like melted ice cream. it was very tasy but one again not what i expected. All in all, it was a good meal. I will definitely come back for the steak and probably pass on the appetizer and dessert. read more

My husband and I had a great experience at Primal this evening. Good food and not heavy on the stomach.

It is my fiancé birthday, so we tried out this place for the first time and it was so good. We got the Mac n cheese, garlic mash potatoes, filet mignon , 14 New York strip.

When we come back, I hope to have her as a server. She really made our dinner special. read more

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Primal Steakhouse, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely exceptional. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great experience. It's rare to find service that feels this polished yet still warm and authentic. Our server Steve was absolutely incredible and recommended amazing dishes! Now let's talk about the food. It was incredible. We both ordered steaks, and they were cooked perfectly. Not just "good," but exactly the way a steak should be done. Both cuts were thick, plump, and unbelievably tender. Every bite was flavorful and juicy, and you could really tell the quality of the meat was top tier. I've seen a few reviews mentioning that the price point is high for what you get, but I completely disagree. When you consider the quality of the food, the preparation, and the outstanding service, the pricing feels justified. A great steakhouse experience is about more than just the plate in front of you, it's the entire experience, and Primal absolutely delivers on that. Fair warning though, they do it "Vegas style" meaning there is a 18% service fee NOT INCLUDING TIP. So be fair to warned of that. I don't think that will blow over well here in Texas but nonetheless, just be aware of that. Another thing I appreciated was that the menu has options for everyone. Whether you're a serious steak lover or just looking for a great meal out, there's something you'll enjoy. What makes it even more impressive is that they've only been open for about 25 days (give or take). If this is the level they're already operating at so early on, I can only imagine how great it will become as it continues to grow and settle in. We will absolutely be coming back, and I'm excited to watch Primal Steakhouse grow into what I believe will become one of the standout dining spots in the area. If you're considering trying it, do yourself a favor and go. You won't regret it. read more

Dallas has a new steak player in town, and the experience was primal. The ambiance was that of a medieval castle - dimly lit (with real wax candles), a little intimate, and a bit entertaining. I see this as a place you could take a date, a family, or a party. I was part of a bachelor party. I got my palate started with the French onion soup. For my steak, I chose the 12oz Capp steak. The quality of the steak was top notch and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I selected a baked potato for my side and my mind keeps going back to the smoky pieces of bacon in it. Our server was attentive and the overall service & experience met my expectations of a high-end dining establishment. I even got a bit of a chuckle when I got to select my steak knife. Tl;dr: I walked in with high expectations and they were all met... and then some. read more

Edit to add: What made this experience even more disappointing was the response I received after leaving my review on another platform. Instead of professionally addressing the concerns about the food and service, someone associated with the restaurant chose to respond with personal insults, calling me a "Karen," mocking my review, and making condescending comments rather than attempting to resolve the issues. Constructive criticism should be met with professionalism, especially at a restaurant presenting itself as upscale. The rude and defensive response only reinforced my negative experience and confirmed that customer feedback is clearly not valued here. Attached photos will show attack. 2 people -- $280 with tip What we ordered: - Starry and Winter Is Coming drinks - Crab cakes - Two 8oz filets - One lobster tail - Lobster mac and cheese - Molten lava cake Our server James was wonderful, and the live singer was amazing, but unfortunately that's where the experience stopped being anywhere close to good. We go to many "upscale" steakhouses and have never walked into one looking nice just to see so many people in beach wear, flip flops, and sandals with no dress code enforcement at all. The tables were also packed so closely together that our waiter could not fit between them. Was not worth the money. We went last night and, overall, the experience was very disappointing. The ambiance was medieval-style and only lit by candles, which could have been nice, but it was completely thrown off by loud blaring country music until the live singer showed up. Thankfully, she was fantastic. The food had multiple issues throughout the night. The crab cakes were lukewarm, not hot at all. The steaks arrived charred, almost burnt on the outside, but rare on the inside. We sent them back to be cooked to the correct temperature (medium), and while they did come back medium inside, they were still burnt on the outside. The lobster mac and cheese even had pieces of shell inside it. Dessert was also disappointing. The molten lava cake was broken and leaking before it even reached the table. Then, table-side, they sprayed what appeared to be lighter fluid from a misting bottle onto one side of the plate and cake. That side of the cake tasted bad, while the other side somehow tasted sugar-free. Service was extremely slow as well. We arrived at 5:15 and did not leave until almost 7 because it took so long for every course to come out. We were literally waiting on each item the entire evening. For $280, we honestly could have gotten better quality steaks and food from Texas Roadhouse. read more

I rarely give negative reviews but I will make an exception for this place. For a "high end steakhouse" (their website), this is probably the WORST one I've ever been to, especially considering the price on some of these items. I didn't rate the Service nor Atmosphere because if the food is terrible, it doesn't matter if those things are 5 star. I ordered the Delmonico steak. Google's definition of a Delmonico is: "A THICK-CUT, PREMIUM steak popularized by Delmonico's restaurant, traditionally from the rib or short loin, often resembling a THICK RIBEYE or strip steak with rich marbling." Do my pictures look like this was a THICK-CUT, PREMIUM ribeye? It was also the most 'gristly' piece of meat I've ever had. The ASPARAGUS is nearly as thick as the STEAK--that's supposed to be a 'thick-cut' RIBEYE!!! Additionally, it was barely lukewarm. You know how you get a plate from any other 'high end steakhouse' and the steak and the plate itself is sizzling (think Ruth's Chris), don't expect that here. It was awful! The only reason I brought it home is because if I spend $68 on a piece of meat, I'm going to eat it! And check out the greasy fingerprints on the take-home box. Those were from the guy who boxed it for me. If my three Dobermans were still alive and I tried to feed them this steak, they would have probably BIT ME for giving such a terrible piece of meat! You can get a much better, consistently good steak at Texas Roadhouse for $28, including sides--no exaggeration whatsoever! I've had better steaks when I order steak and eggs at WAFFLE HOUSE!!! I'm not kidding either. And here's the kicker, one of the cooks, came out to the bar to get himself a drink (alcohol) the bartender poured him. You will NEVER see that at a 'high end steakhouse.' Don't even get me started on the drinks poured in horns and goblets like you are at Medieval Times. For a minute there, I though there was going to be jousting and sword fighting in the dining room. It was almost comedic. The bar is terrible in more ways than one, I won't even get into that. And finally, this has nothing to do with them being open for 'only a few weeks' because if they are serving 0.5" thick ribeyes like the garbage they sold me, and trying to pass them off as PRIME cuts, nothing will fix them except new ownership and management. If you want to drop some coin on a steakhouse, go ANYWHERE but this place. You have D Lincoln Prime, III Forks and Flemings just a five minute drive down the street. You'll pay the same price for food and drinks, but you will have a REAL fine dining experience, which will include a cool bar, good service, HOT FOOD, and a PRIME cut of beef. read more

Steve our server was great, also met Tiny, and he was a pleasure. I had the filet and it was amazing! We also tried the baked potato, lamb chops with spinach and mashed garlic potatoes, French onion soup, crap cakes, and the complimentary garlic bread with bacon jam.... everything was good! We are already planning our next date night there and looking forward to trying new things and desserts next time! Atmosphere was dark and comfortable inside , and dress for most was preppy casual. read more

Grant provided stellar service and made my birthday memorable. I brought my family with toddlers and he made them feel included and entertained. I do recommend that the experience is better served as an upscale date/anniversary night. They had live music and the cocktails were very creative. We had the bone marrow, Wagyu A5 chef presentation, Australian 24oz wagyu, and lobster Mac n cheese. None of these disappointed! read more

Primal Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - The Colony, Texas

As someone who enjoys medieval settings this place is so so so cool; honestly it has the ambiance of the tavern that the dungeon's and dragons group first meets in. Speaking of which if anyone wants a get together outside of campaigns but want to stay in theme I could absolutely see dressing up/out and going here. The food is phenomenal, well seasoned, well cooked, and the flavor profiles as well as quality are on point. The service is amazing, everyone is so sweet and accommodating. I could continue to go on and on about how much I enjoy this place however I do have one thing I simply want to point out; not a cheap meal by any means. You're absolutely paying for the experience but you're also paying for the food quality which, again this is not a complaint. Those two things are absolutely worth the money, and I will absolutely be coming back! read more

Friday the 13th... and it truly was. We were seated at 6:30 and received our drinks quickly. The drinks were excellent, and the presentation was beautiful. We ordered our food at 7:00 and were told it would take at least an hour for steaks because they let them rest. That was understandable -- although neither of us ordered a steak. My husband ordered a burger and I ordered the pork chop. Our food didn't arrive until 9:15. We left at 9:45. Three plus hours total. The manager stopped by within the first hour, and apologized for the wait, never returned. There were no discounts or comps offered. Our waiter said he was embarrassed, and we know it wasn't his fault -- but it did feel like more could have been done to advocate with the kitchen. To make it more frustrating, two tables seated around 8:30 received their food before we did. I've heard the restaurant has only been open about three weeks, and it shows. They're not quite ready yet. I wouldn't recommend taking your Valentine there right now -- it may ruin your evening. That said, I do think it's worth giving them a shot down the road. Hopefully they'll work out the kinks with a little more time. read more
