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

We celebrated by birthday at Primal and our experience exceeded all our expectations. Our server Steve provided top notch service. The food was delicious and the decor and ambiance was cozy and inviting. The live entertainment was an unexpected pleasure. 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

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 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 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 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

My spouse and I dined here for the first time for a combined Mother's Day/25th Wedding Anniversary celebration. I can say with certainty that I have never had food more flavorful nor an ambiance more pleasant than at Primal. Our server, Brooke, did an excellent job and indulged our amusement at the theater of presentation. This was an amazing night and we've rarely felt so satisfied in a meal. read more

Hard no for us!! Food was only so-so and prices are absurd. We spent $575 for 4 people. 1- 2 drinks per person. Tables are soooo squished together in a loud, crowded room. Service was great! Next time we are in the mood for a yummy steak we will head to Perry's or 3 Forks and spend less, for much better food. The 18% tip they added, was fine by me, but we normally tip 25% so it was not a great deal for Grant, our awesome server. If this is what restaurants are like in Vegas, I guess I am not missing anything... 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

Went yesterday with my mom for our first visit and had a great experience. Our waiter, Steve, was very professional, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. We ordered the deviled eggs, lamb chops, and the Delmonico steak with asparagus, everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. There was also a young lady singing softly with a mix of music genres, which created a really nice and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, the food and service were excellent. We'll definitely 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

We have been waiting months for this location to open officially so that we could celebrate our 10 year anniversary and tonight we were blown away by the food, atmosphere, and the customer service by the staff. We wanted to go for the steak but instead we tried out their unique entrees. It was spectacular, words cannot even explain how many times my boyfriend raved about his dish, which was the whiskey glazed pork chops and my Sea Bass Confit was absolutely sinful. Our waiter Ryan was absolutely amazing, super courteous and attentive. He made our evening so special and we greatly appreciate it. We would like to personally thank Darrell the Operations Manager for inviting my boyfriend(whom he met at the Home Depot ) to Primal Steakhouse. I highly recommend this establishment 1000% and we will definitely be back soon!!! read more

Don't bother. Everything was average at best. We tried 5 different drinks all, meh. Scallops and crab cake apps. Ok. 2 hours beyond that we get our mains. Delmonica steak good, lamb chops uh no just don't, Australian wagyu for 2, decent but nothing great. Lobster Mac, nothing special. For 3 hours almost $700 for 4 of us because they also included 15% tip, oh and get this because it's a Vegas chain a Vegas service fee, Actual wait staff was ok, not great or terrible either way. The kitchen though needs some work. Manager was walking around apologizing but then to comp nothing was all underwhelming. Literally the best tasting thing we ate was the bread with whatever their bacon spread stuff was. Very disappointing, we won't be back. read more

I've been going to the Las Vegas location for years !! Our favorite restaurant my far!! And this location did not disappoint.

Brooke is a young up and coming server who went out of her way to insure everything was satisfactory. Brandon (GM?) introduced himself as having come from the Vegas location. Beautiful interior across from Grandscape. Easy to find and park. Lamb Chops cooked perfectly but sat for 4 minutes (I could see the kitchen) while my wife's filet was finishing. Lamb however was oddly served in a bowl instead of a plate and therefore was difficult to cut as the bowl also had risotto and spinach. Filet was prepared to medium rare but lacked flavor and resembled a choice cut of meat I would make at home occasionally. For $48 honestly we expected better. Recorded music was a bit loud playing a variety of sons from Stapleton to Huey Lewis. Deviled eggs appetizer was ok. read more

Amazing experience with Grant. Very attentive with checking in and getting our orders in. Steak melted in my mouth and the baked potato was more than I can ask for.

Live music and a visit from the manager (Jordan haha) put our evening over the top!!! Thank you!!! read more

There is a manager there called Big Jon, or Big Mike... Big something. He should be fired. He dressed down a hostess infront of the entire restaurant because she sat my family and we were 10 min early for the reservation time and the waitress had not shown up yet. Just a complete A-hole move. The restaurant is not up to the same standards as the Vegas location, but the food was still great and I'm hoping the service and that ahole manager were just going through growing pains. read more
