The Shula's StoryEstablished 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 CoachWinners 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.

    Food is superior, I don’t mind the price for the quality. Service is fantastic, staff exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Only downside side in my opinion is the acoustics which make conversations difficult but not enough to prevent me from returning.

    The food is delicious, particularly the veggies. They were happy to accommodate diners with dietary concerns (gluten-free this trip and previously with my vegan sister). The staff are friendly. The interior ambiance is great. They do have a few outside tables but they are right next to the parking lot, so far less formal than the inside. On previous trips the temperature inside was fine, but this week it was a bit warm, so it's possible the AC was struggling. It was actually pretty busy for a Monday night.
