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:

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.

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.

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.

great food above and beyond serviceCons:

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.

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

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.

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.

So.. visited Shula's Steakhouse tonight, heard a lot of good things and watch a lot of paging mr morrow videos and shulas is his number one steak on Disney Property (I think) ...
I got the 24oz Porterhouse. It was a great steak, but for $65 I was hoping for something a bit more mind blowing. Price is bit ridiculous considering sides are not included. It tasted good and seasoned well but was nothing special and I've definitely had better steak for less. Sides Mac & Cheese and caramelised sprouts $13 a peice were pretty meh also.
I did have the new orleans style shrimp to start which I thought was fantastic.
I was really looking forward to eating here but I left feeling a little let down.
Few days ago I ate at steakhouse 71, had the 10oz new York strip $36 with a side and sauce. Steak was great and much better value for money!
Shulas even have the cheek to charge $4 for a steak sauce!
The other people who dined with me (who also eat alot of steak) felt the same.
Also this is just me nitpicking here but it comes across like quite a fancy restaurant so myself and my party got dressed up but it basically has no dress code so quite a few people there straight from the parks wearing trainers and caps.
Heading to yachtsman next week which I know have dry aged steak (shulas do not) so keeping my fingers crossed its much better!

My sister and I ate there on Friday, February 11. I had the Shrimp Cocktail for an appetizer…I’ve had better at La Hacienda in Epcot two nights ago. My sister asked for her filet to be Medium. It came out medium raw. I had crab cakes for my entree. I have never experienced shell in any crab cakes before. I couldn’t even finish them. For sides, we had what should have been broccoli with cheese. The dish was mainly broccoli with some sort of watery cheese. Tasted and looked like it was cooked in the microwave. When we first arrived, we felt rushed. My app came almost immediately after ordering and my entree came before I was finished. They must have wanted to rush us out, as we didn’t order any wine or dessert-which they asked us three times during the meal if we wanted dessert. Once we were finished eating, we sat with dirty plates in front of us for quite sometime. So first, they rushed us and then they forgot us as it got busier. We asked for take out for the mashed potatoes(which were good), and the rest of my sister’s steak. The gentleman came to the table with the take out box, my sister asked for a utensil, since they had already taken them away, to put her food in, as there was a lot of water on the plate from the broccoli. He got her a fork and LITERALLY shoved the plate back to her to to it herself. Waitstaff wasn’t very friendly and very inattentive. We joked that they were angry elves. We still tipped 20%, but we normally tip more for a great meal with great service. Would not recommend. Plenty of other places that are way better on property.
