Nothing against the other ones in town... never saw this even in Toronto or Montreal! This one here is unique in his kind in terms of quality and service. Everyone there is beyond nice ALL the time. The owner is a great man (George) and his sidekick Jacob just great. Every employee knows what they are doing and have just the perfect attitude. LOVE IT.OK you might wonder what do I smoke to be so enthusiastic? Just swing by there and you will get it. And it will be quicker for me if you check out their website too, it is hard to explain passion for quality on here. Dry aged rib eyes, all stuff ethically and locally picked, many cuts available just there + most of them are -surprise surprise- prime cuts.If you think you had good steaks before, try those one out. If you are not in a restaurant hurry and feel like meat (beef, chicken, pork, wagyu, fish, oysters, shrimp, scallops, sausages and I probably forget some) then do yourself a favour and go buy a nice freakin prime steak and prepare it at home. WARNING: you will impress whoever eats that stuff you just cooked.If you feel like eating on the spot or to go they also serve prepared food, all with great quality and recipes.Thanks to all the staff over at Primal Cuts, keep bringing the greatness to Peterborough!

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.
