- MDMariaDChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis evening I dined at Primal Cut Steakhouse for the first time and I was totally impressed! I read the reviews on Yelp and decided to try them out. The hostess greeted me and my mom, who is 93 years old, at the door and helped my mom to the table which was so kind and thoughtful. After we were seated, our waiter, Joel introduced himself and offered suggestions from the drink and appetizer menu, then gave us time to decide. We decided on the sausage stuffed mushrooms and fried green tomatoes which were delicious. Next, we ordered the Ribeye with mashed potatoes and sea scallops with lobster risotto which were both amazing. The portions were generous, so we had tasty leftovers for tomorrow’s dinner. Joel was very attentive and eager to please which we appreciated. I’m so glad we discovered this hidden gem. We will definitely return soon to try out other items on the menu. Primal Cut Steakhouse is top notch! Excellent food and great service!More infoPrimal Cut Steakhouse$$$$• Steakhouse• Tinley Park•4.6
