It was decent when they opened. Now every time I go there brisket is very dried out. The ribs are so overcooked that all that's left is a thin layer of flavorful but chewy skin. The sides are always cold too. Beans taste like they were just poured out of a can. I gave them 3 final chances - I'll smoke my own instead. Sad
I no longer recommend this place. The owners seem to have changed their focus because they want a bar now instead...

The owner of this restaurant need to go to Kansas City and learn how to make BBQ from one of the many great restaurants there. Gates is one of the best. Primos is horrible. Not fresh, not tender. Tastes stale and like it's been sitting all day. I was very disappointed especially with how much they are charging for low quality BBQ.

Don’t believe the good reviews. This is some of the worst BBQ I’ve ever had. I have given this place about 10 visits over the years. Over half the time it’s dry and barely warm. I’ve been served brisket that is almost like jerky 4 times. You could start a fire with how dry the pulled pork is. The last straw was when I ordered ribs and thought they were light. So I weighed them on my scale at work and they shorted me! They also don’t treat their employees very well. I know people who have worked here who say they don’t get their tips in a timely manner, if at all. I will never return.

Unfortunately the bbq is super dry the last few times we got it. Today I got the sampler. The ribs are just bone no meat. Brisket one decent piece rest just fat. I like they do a lot in the green house for community members to have things to do. But unfortunately the bbq is not great.

For northern bbq it was good. Little dry on the brisket but the sauces were good. Wish they had a true hot BBQ sauce.

Just had lunch at Primos. What a disappointment. $36 for two subpar sandwiches and a cup of watered down gumbo. Brisket was overdone and no flavor except salty.
The second star is because the cans of pop and bag of chips were as expected.
Won't be back.

Primos is now the best place to eat in Cadillac tied with Little Mexico. Their food is great
TBH the Mac n cheese tastes like smoke, the beans taste like smoke, the meat tastes like smoke. The only change in the food was the BBQ sauce which is AMAZING!, but it's not IN the meat, it's on the side.... The portions are NOT as sizable as you would think by the other reviews.... Maybe they changed their portion size but for the first time I went (yes I gave it 2 chances) $40 for 2 "dinners". I? Ant to be fair but I don't think it's the best bang for your buck

The food really wasn't that good. I tried the shrimp sandwich and the shrimp was really small and didn't have much taste. It was bad enough I will never be back to order or eat any of the food

Brisket was all fat, pork was overcooked and mushy. Such a letdown.

Friendly staff and great food! The brisket was flavorful and tender. The cook even came out to clarify how we wanted our BLT made. They also have a great selection of Bubblr drinks.
