Always heard such wonderful things about SHULAs and it was finally time for our fam to experience it .. ..

They had no problem arranging a table for 12+toddler and our server TYLER (from Chatham) was splendid .. .. I do believe the best-ever server I've ever had .. .. Personable, hilarious Arsenal fan, who got every drink/food order exactly correct despite 12+ chatty guests!

Three of us split their WEDGE SALAD and they were nice enough to split it for us and it was delicious with a light dressing from heaven and perky Blue Cheese atop .. ..

The monstrous TOMAHAWK RIBEYE was perfectly cooked (medium-rare) and charred fro such a huge piece of meat! Despite three of us sharing it, there was still enough left over for three light breakfasts the following days!

And, did I mention the side? CREAMED SPINACH, MASHED POTATOES & MUSHROOMS? All of them were fantastic and would have made a wonderful meal on their own .. ..
ER FO
Then came deserts --- APPLE CRISP, CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE & CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE .. .. Oh, dear .. ..

JUST A FABULOUS DINNER AND ONE TO REMEMBER FOR A REAL LONG TIME!!

Pros:

RIBEYE and order as many sides as your table can hanle!

Cons:

Change of clothes' size afterwards!!

I don’t know what planet these people leaving bad reviews are on….but this is easily the best restaurant on Disney property. Don’t walk run to this place. Top notch service and the best steak I’ve ever had so the high prices makes sense, you get what you pay for.

Pros:

Amazing food and service

Cons:

Pricey, but worth every cent.

We like to have one fancy dinner each trip. Service was excellent. Had three waiters that were very attentive to us. Food came out timely and perfect. The steaks were excellent. We would certainly have another celebratory dinner here again.

Pros:

Service. Food

Cons:

A bit pricey.

I ate at Shula\\'s 4/22/21 8:30 reservation. I was late because it took me loads longer to get there from Studios on the boat than I thought. I was not able to walk it because my feet were hurting from the park. I was a little over 15 minutes late and they had already given away my table. I wish they would have tried to contact me. But They gave me a high top table in the lounge. My Service was the highlight of my trip. My server went above and beyond. (I wish I could remember her name) The bread service is great. I got ordered the Cajun shrimp appetizer. It wsa the best shrimp dish I have ever had anywhere. I suggest using the bread to sop up the sauce rather than the crustiness they provided. for my main I ordered the Cowboy ribeye. This steak was perfect. incredible flavour and marbling. I also had the dark cherry smoked Manhattan. I would have liked more smoke. Back to the service. I was dining alone but many of the cast members took time to talk to me. My server even walked me to show me where to catch Lyft. Best service I have ever had. Thank you Shula\\'s! I am planning to go back.

Pros:

great food above and beyond service

Cons:

did not hold my table long enough

My wife and I had a meal sans kids at Shula's and it was terrific.
Both had steaks which were cooked exactly as requested.
Great bottle of claret complemented the meals
Have eaten here previously with mixed results, but on this occasion we were very prescriptive about how we wanted certain aspects of the meal, specifically the sides to be cooked. For example I wanted my mushrooms sautéed without lashings of garlic. Server recorded precisely what we wanted without fuss and the kitchen delivered.
Excellent

Pros:

Quality of food and wine

Cons:

none

I recommend signing up for the Shula birthday club on their website for a free entrée or looking for a 20% off Orlando coupon, this will help make the meal cost more appetizing! We had the filet mignon and the crab cakes. The filet was really wonderful, the crab cakes not so much. They were only slightly warm and they had a lot of fillers-- there were 2 however and they were a good size. Our side was the mashed potatoes which were delicious and my husband had a caesar salad which he said was good. There is a good dessert selection but because we were stuffed we just took a piece of their chocolate layer cake to go which was good. This was a nice choice for my husband's birthday as he grew up in Florida and new all about the Dolphin's undefeated season. It might not be as interesting to a non-football person. Several waiters serve you and it can be a bit over the top. All in all though a nice experience.

Pros:

football memorbilia, great steak

Cons:

waiter overkill

Had dinner at Shula's on a Wednesday night. Knowing we would arrive late, we were pleased to be able to book a late ADR for 9:30 PM. Food, wine, and service were all very good. As good as Yachtsman? Perhaps not, but it's close. Unfortunately, the restaurant is very loud, which took a bit from the experience. And, like any high end steakhouse, the prices are outrageous. However, prices aside, a very nice place. Worth it for a special occasion dinner.

Pros:

Food, service

Cons:

Loud, pricey

My husband and I ate here on 9/28/14. It was a fairly romantic place, but quite dark. So dark it was hard to see the menu or your food. We were very, very, very full when we went to dinner here so we kept things to a minimum, but it all was good.

My husband had the French Onion Soup and I had a half of the heirloom tomato salad. Both were good, but not over the top good. We wouldn't be opposed to getting these apps again, but would probably try something else.

My husband go the filet that he said was fabulous. It hands down beat the steak at the Yachtsman (but that really isn't saying much). I had what should be Steak Diane (but at Shula's is the Steak Mary Ann, after his wife). The saucing was good and not overpowering. The steak was cooked perfectly and was tender. We shared a huge baked potato that was really good.

We finishing with the chocolate soufflé that was also very good. It was light and fluffy with just the right amount of chocolate.

We will absolutely eat here again. We were warned going in about the portion size and ordered accordingly. Enough cannot be said about just how much food you get with the apps and the sides. It really is way too much food. They should charge less and provide smaller portions. It would make the meal much more enjoyable. Please be cognizant of this when you are ordering. My half salad was larger than most full sized salads. That is too much to eat and then expect to eat an entrée and dessert.

My one real complaint though came at the end of the meal when our servers ganged up on us and gave us the hard sell on providing online reviews for Shula's, going so far as to name some of the sites they would like us to post a review on. WOW!!! I found this off putting. It came across as desperate. Even if they are desperate for reviews, they need to chill out and find another way. I felt like they were trying to get me to buy a time-share. It was VERY high pressure. You felt compelled to promise to write great reviews on the sites they recommended in order to be able to leave. I'm sure this isn't exactly the review they expected me to write, but I guess you should be careful what you demand from your patrons; you just might get it.

Pros:

Great Food and Service

Cons:

Really dark; portion size

While the service was top tier, I've had way better steaks on property for less. Honestly not worth the avg of $100/person and that was just 1 drink, 1 steak, and one shareable side (no appetizers or dessert). Our steaks lacked any seasoning, and the mushrooms that were supposed to have been sautéed in butter and garlic tasted heavily of canola oil and also lacked seasoning. Was there a salt and pepper shortage in the kitchen that night. I'm glad we skipped dessert because I'm sure, as a pastry chef, I would have been disappointed with the Key Lime pie. The skirt steak I had at Wine Bar George with the steak frites was way better, and 1/3 the price. Which is sad, because this was a bucket list destination for me based on other reviews. One and done for me.

Pros:

Top notch service

Cons:

Poor execution, under seasoned food, HEFTY price tag

We went to Shula's for our 20th anniversary and were very disappointed. The steaks were bland and just lukewarm. The best part about the meal was the bread...but for $350 we should have the best steaks we have ever eaten. The baked potato they show on the cart was huge, but ours was about 1/2 of that size. We were the best dressed people there (we wore slacks, collared shirts, dress) as everyone, and I mean everyone, wore shorts, tennis shoes, and t-shirts. Not one business casual group in the bunch. We saw mickey ears, yoga pants, and lots of baseball caps.

Pros:

Fantastic bread

Cons:

Mediocre steaks
