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.

    The food was very good, from the shrimp caesar salad to the surf and turf. No complaints.

    Took more than 45 mins to get salad, hour and a half for entrees. Server hardly ever checked in, drink refills were almost non-existent.ambiance was no different than any other hotel restaurant, other than the trophies at the front door nothing was reminiscent of football or said this is Shula’s. Food when it arrived was not well seasoned and half of it was cold.
    Shula's Steak House - GainesvilleResponded on 1 December 2024
    Good day Meg, I'm sorry to hear that your experience was not amazing. We will discuss with our team to ensure proper steps are followed with every guest, every time. Additionally, we will spend time with Culinary, all steaks are to be properly seasoned.

    Hadn't been to any Shula's in 20+ years, was excited to return as I've always had tremendous meals there. Not sure if this was due to the fact that this location is in a hotel vs. stand alone but was quite disappointed. Service was great, super nice people. But the food just wasn't what I remembered. Steak was mediocre, didn't have lobster tail available, scallops were dry and essentially uneatable. Even the fries were overcooked and dry. Was ready for the exceptional meal that I've enjoyed there many times in the past and left truly disappointed.
    Shula's Steak House - GainesvilleResponded on 1 December 2024
    Jeff, thanks for your return to Shula's. I'm sorry to hear about your culinary experience. We will discuss all commentary with our team to ensure recipes and formulas are followed. Again, we apologize that we did not meet your expectation.

    Our server was knowledgeable but the food was way over salted. There were 6 of of dining and four thought their food was too salty. One person loved salt and thought their food was fine. I asked if they could redo the scallops as, in my opinion, they were inedible, and was told there is a new chef and they would not reduce the salt even at my request. Based on that, I’ll not go back there.

    Good evening, ScottW, we apologize for not meeting your expectations. Our team strives to give our Guest great service, exceptional food and an amazing experience. We certainly missed the mark last night. I appreciate your review and feedback. Ben
