Primal 'Cue Restaurant and Catering

I’m in town on business performing at the high school close to this restaurant. From the time we walked in, our party of 8 or so was taken care of. Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere. I highly recommend if you’re in the area. And it’s veteran own. ?

I had carry out brisket and ribs. The sliced brisket fell apart as soon as I touched the fork to it. Tasted like pot roast. The ribs were really mushy and the bones fell out when I tried to cut it. The potatoes were good but the beans were rather pedestrian. Also they forgot the sauces I asked for but I was home before I found out. I so wanted to like them but I won’t be back. Sad

Our first time to check it out and boy, we're we pleasantly surprised! The brisket burgers we ordered were the best I've had. Certainly worth the drive from Verona. Met the owners - great guys.

We've been to Primal 'Cue several times since moving to the area about 9 months ago as we both enjoy good bbq. My favorite is their ribs, and my wife really enjoys the brisket. The sausage and pulled pork both get an honorable mention. But, everything is very good. They have a nice, well-balanced choice of sauces to accompany the meat choices. All of the sides are very good also, with our favorites being the cornbread and the cold slaw. Today we stopped in for lunch, and greatly enjoyed the brisket grilled cheese sandwich. The two owners always make a point to stop by and visit with the customers, which goes a very long way to demonstrate their concern for the business and customer satisfaction. They frequently have some very nice specials at the bar, which is adjacent to the food area, but seems to operate separately for orders and billing. The prices are right in line with the quality of the food and overall experience. All in all, it's a great experience, and I definitely recommend Primal 'CUE!
