The Shula's Story
Established in 1989, Shula's Steak House started with one goal in mind - to carry on the legacy of Coach Don Shula, one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. 30 years later, we've taken that goal and run with it. We're proud to offer the highest quality steaks, fresh-caught seafood, and tantalizing sides.

Inspired by Coach
Winners are a different breed. Winners work hard, winners value the small details, and winners never cut corners.
When Coach Don Shula opened the first Shula's Steak House in 1989, he took his winning formula to a whole new level. He wanted to provide the highest quality steaks in a warm, inviting setting. There's an ethos to excellence - it doesn't matter if you're coaching an undefeated football team, or grilling up a porterhouse - we make sure we live by it.

    While our server was very nice, it was clear that kitchen and bar was very backed up. Timing seemed very delayed and short handed. Disappointing for a higher end dinner

    We are truly sorry it felt your food delivery was delayed. You alerted your server about an allergy before service and our staff dedicated time to ensure there was no cross-contamination throughout your dining experience. Our manager checked in at the end of service to ensure you had a great dining experience with us and everyone at the table said they enjoyed everything. We appreciate your feedback Tara; we will be sure to share this with the team!

    We recently dined at Shula’s Steakhouse and had a great experience when it came to both the food and service. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making the meal enjoyable. However, one major disappointment was that the online menu had not been updated in years. This was a key factor in our decision to dine here, and we were shocked to find that the actual prices were significantly higher—wine was nearly three times the cost listed online, and food prices were 30-40% more. When we brought this up, the manager was understanding and mentioned that they have been asking corporate to update the menu for years, but nothing has been done. While we appreciated the quality of the meal and the hospitality, the outdated pricing felt misleading. I’d recommend dining here for the food, but be prepared for prices well beyond what’s advertised online. Hopefully, corporate makes the necessary updates soon.

    Waitstaff was very attentive and helpful. We chose the place because of the menu we saw on their website. Unfortunately, when we got there, we found it was very outdated. Many of the websites items were not on the in-house menu. Ribeye was tender and cooked properly but fairly tasteless.Fries kind of limp, sautéed spinach greasy.

    Thank you for your feedback Jim! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the service from the waitstaff, we will also pass along your comments to Chef and the team. We are currently in the process of updating our Shulas website.

    We dined at Shula’s Steak House on 2/15, to celebrate our son’s birthday. The staff surprised our son with a framed “Happy Birthday” note and hand-written card waiting for him at our table. Rachel Ann was our server, greeting us with a warm smile and “Happy Birthday.” She was very attentive and personable, yet professional. Food-wise, I ordered the Chilean Sea bass with vegetables, which was delicious. The three other people in our party ordered filet mignons, with sides of creamed corn and steamed broccoli, all of which they said were very good. The portions are large, especially the desserts! Shula’s surprised our son with a complimentary birthday dessert. He chose a piece of chocolate cake, which the four of us together enjoyed but couldn’t finish. Our dining experience was a 10 out of 10.

    They forgot our food and we waited 45 minutes after appetizers so it delayed the dining experience. Service was good though.

    Overall, a great Valentine’s day dinner. We enjoyed a porterhouse steak and pomme purée. We ordered calamari for an appetizer, and honestly it wasn’t much to write home about, Carrabba’s is better. The calamari was very chewy and oily. Although it tasted good, the rubbery texture was unpleasant. We also ordered the house salad with the green goddess dressing, which was delicious. As someone who cuts meat for a living, the porterhouse was definitely smaller than 24oz. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly, just smaller than what I had ordered. Service was quick and excellent. Would definitely go back.
