Primal Cuts - Peterborough

Kevin and Ian where very helpful. Glad there’s a place in town for good quality meat!

Timing is everything! I 've been on the hunt for Wagyu burgers since other local retailers stopped supplying them. I dropped in on a Sunday . The overall selection was slim, but yes! They do carry Wagyu burgers. Best to order them in advance. So I did. I returned the following Friday and the overall selection was outstanding. I also grabbed a small Wagyu brisket. The burgers were amazing, worth every penny. The brisket went in the smoker and the brisket turned out great for a flat cut. You get what you pay for. And the staff are both friendly and helpful. I shall be returning!

The 120-day dry-aged steak at this restaurant is not my favorite. In my opinion, it is aged for too long and tastes more like charcuterie than a juicy steak. Despite its nice marbling, when cooked to 130F, the steak lacked juiciness and was one of the worst I've had considering the price. I believe the standard should be 28-45 days of aging, with 120-day steaks being offered as an exception instead of the norm. This would result in better flavor, tenderness, and concentration. It is strange that only 120-day steaks are available, as other premium butcher shops like Cumbraes offer shorter aging periods for a lower price. Despite this, I appreciate the selection of hanger steak at this butcher shop. I also look forward to trying their burgers in the future, as a loosely packed coarse ground is essential for a great burger texture. Overall, the dry aging program at this restaurant is a bit extreme in my opinion.

Our son gave us a gift card to this restaurant and we used it to order a prime cut of meat. Unfortunately, the meat was terrible and we had a bad experience. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

Today, I visited this restaurant for the first time after hearing that they had Beef tongues for sale, which is not easy to find these days. Upon browsing their selection of products, I was impressed. While some items were out of my price range, the prices were lower than I had expected, and there were plenty of products within my budget. The man who served me was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The store was clean and well organized. I will definitely be returning.
