    Very disappointed that they're charging you $120 for 2 Crab legs .... 1 pound now cost you $120 when you use to get 1.5 pounds... extremely dissatisfied and not worth it... I ordered the Crab and lobster pasta instead and had 95% Pasta and 5% Crab & Lobster... I've been a customer here for years and was very underwhelmed with the food and choices to reduce the portions and charge you the same price. I won't be back anytime soon if at all. My Husband had to send his steak back because they made it medium rare instead of medium well.

    Perfect from the beginning to the end! Everything was timed perfectly and not rushed like so so many places these days! Patricia is an excellent waitress! The food is delicious and loved the cocktails too! Definitely save room for the cobbler! Amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️

    Food at Primal solid as always, from the fried green tomatoes apps, to the mains of crab-stuffed shrimp, Parmesan pork chop, and the crab cake app with soup. Ambiance is fine, too. What disappointed me this time was service. Our server was perfectly capable and nice enough except for the big hurry to put in an order for food right as she took our drink order. We were only seated for 5 mins at that time. I know the restaurant had a limit of 2 hours but that was ridiculous. When I shared that we needed a few minutes to look at the menu, she gave us exactly 3 minutes before coming by again and standing at our table until we placed an order. When the app came, just 7 mins later, we were catching up and just started discussing entree options. Our server asked again about the entree, and I asked if we could have five more minutes. That’s when we were told there was a table limit of 2 hours. Again, I’ve been a longtime customer and understand that but at that time we had not yet been seated for more than 30 minutes. This was incredibly troubling, and for my dad, who is sight impaired, and likes to have the menu read to him, it takes just a bit longer to order. We would have appreciated a bit more patience, especially on Fathers Day. The restaurant was not at all crowded and many tables were open. Again, I would have liked to provided a higher rating but the service just missed the mark. Even with the 18%  gratuity already added on, I added an extra 2% for the service itself which I would assume is shared with the table bussing staff, yet it did seem we were not welcomed to stay by our server even with our allocated time window, and that is truly a disappointment.

    Service was slow and honestly a mediocre steak at best. Inside was the correct temperature but was burnt to shreds. Only reason I rated a 2 star was French onion soup was good. Do not go, to much money for what you get.

    Our dinner was great. We both had the surf and turf. And it was perfectly done. Our waitress, Candy was good. Drinks were also good. Had a reservation and didn't have to wait long.

    This was not my first time at Primal Cut. I consider it a favorite. The food is always top notch. I suggested it as a great spot for a friends dinner. We had a reservation for 3 on a Sunday. We arrived on time and were seated promptly in a roomie booth. We were only seated a few minutes when the waitress asked us if we were ready to order drinks. We just sat down and we were saying our hellos so we asked her to check back with us in a few minutes. That's where it started. We were literally sitting there forever about 25 minutes before she ever came back. By that time, we were ready to order our entrées, but she only took drink orders. Later, when ordering we were asking her some questions about the different dishes. She tried to answer our questions, but I felt she was very disinterested. Something about her demeanor made us feel like our questions were a nuisance. I thought it was just me so I didn't say anything to my friends until my old boss who is a customer service manager stated "Wow, she sure is grumpy, she must've woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Our entrées came and they were all delicious and prepared well. Food was amazing as usual. Just felt a little uncomfortable the entire evening because Primal Cut was my suggestion. I've been here several times and have never encountered anyone who has been anything but informative and courteous. When it came time for dessert, we were describing different things that we had seen on other people's tables that looked delicious. Again much decent interest in trying to determine the desserts that we described that looked fabulous. All in all the experience was kind of a letdown because I brought two friends here and highly recommended it. We all left with both of them telling me that they would love to go there again as long as we would be promised a new waitress. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good the food is, the overall experience could make you or break you. This one was not good
