Testimonials

What our clients say

Primal is and always has been an absolutely stellar butcher. I've never, ever had any complaints about the quality of products or the selection. Staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and cordial.

Michael L.

Called and asked for 2 teres major steaks to celebrate our anniversary. Received 2 wonderful steaks marinated in the house sauce. Delicious. Called after picking up and asked how to prepare. Again, on the nose with the info. Thank you!

Jack B.

The butchers in this shop are always so helpful. Looking forward to my chicken wings, sausages, and steaks.
