The Thai Chicken is so AMAZING.

Primal Cuts is the 2nd Best Meat Shop I've Ever Been To. It's favourite one as well. Love the name, location, & going inside the store. It's very Primally Great. Haha! Let's gooooooooooo! The Thai Chicken, I could eat that every week. So flavourful & a great meal especially with rice.

If you are looking for best and high quality meat (beef, lamb, pork & chicken), Fish or any kind of meat this is the place to go To. Shop is externally clean, staff are very helpful and respectful, very professional service. The meat is fresh tender and juicy. Shop also serves others variety of prepared food plus they have a very nice sandwich is can enjoy for lunch. YES you will be more than your regular supermarket, but if you looking for quality and have extra $$$ you want to spend, at end it’s cheaper than you eat at restaurants.

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!

My father decided that he would like us to have a really special experience, so we made an appointment with the owner George and got a couple of the Japanese Waygu steaks that primal cuts offers when available. I have had many of their steaks and have been blown away by the quality of the meat. In particular their dry aged steak is a reasonably priced superb experience that should be shared with friends while you make memories. It really is a beautiful and unique flavor and for me it is outstanding. I had noticed how much attention to detail Primal Cuts boasts and all of this culminated in meeting George. He is just awesome. A down to earth, super nice man who couldn’t be happier to answer any and all questions that you may have (and I had literally hundreds). There wasn’t a single detail that was overlooked and he spent the better part of an hour with my father and myself. It was clear to him that me and my dad were looking to have a bonding experience given that we hadn’t really seen each other much during Covid. George saw this, and made sure every detail was just perfect to make sure we had everything we needed. To be clear this didn’t end at the absolutely stellar meat. George packed it for us in beautiful branded freezer bags, made sure we had some excellent finishing salt, included the trimming so that we could render the fat to oil the pan - but the most incredible gesture where George showed how much he cared was in the fact that he lent us his personal cast iron pan. A 9 year old lodge, beautifully seasoned with many stories to tell I’m sure. To be clear, this is like lending someone your prized Gibson Les Paul to play a meaningful concert, but it because obvious very early on - that is just George. Not one detail goes unnoticed, and not one compromise is made. I don’t only recommend Primal Cuts from the position of their outstanding product, I recommend them because they are the best around - and I’m 100% sure George makes sure of that. What an excellent experience and something I will remember for many years.

I have been a regular customer at Primal Cuts for 10 years. In my opinion they have the highest quality meat in Peterborough and surrounding area. From a well marbled steak, roast, or tender pork chop, dry-aged beef or chicken burger, I have never been disappointed. The staff are always friendly, very knowledgeable, and will always try to provide you with the exact cut of meat you are shopping for. I appreciate that level of customer service.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. From start to finish they were wonderful! We ordered some sushi grade tuna for poke bowls and they went above and beyond to make sure our order was just right and the tuna was unbelievably delicious. I would most definitely recommend.

Quality at reasonable prices. Our weekly stop for pork ribs and hamburger patties. Steak for special occasions will blow your taste buds. You have to stop in and say hi to the super knowledgeable friendly staff.
