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.

    Did not meet expectations. Was expecting a fine dining restaurant and turned out to be a hotel experience. Located in the Hilton. No private entrance to Shula’s had to enter through hotel lobby, no valet, low light parking lot. Host greeted us showing us to table 3 other tables occupied at time. Lighting of dining area was bright not set for evening dining. Very limited wine list and server opened bottle and pour both glasses without allowing sampling. Ordered charcuterie tray for appetizers. The meets and cheeses appeared to have been prepared in advance, not fresh in appearance or taste. Our main course arrived and was good, but not fabulous. While dining our completed dishes were not removed, water was never refilled, server never poured additional glasses of wine. Upon leaving I noticed two tables not bussed which were not used while we dined and food scraps on floor.

    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.
