The Shula's Narrative Shula's Steak House, which opened its doors in 1989, had only one goal in mind: to honor the memory of Coach Don Shula, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. This is where we are now, 30 years later, having achieved our goal. We take great pride in serving only the highest-quality steaks, freshly caught seafood, and delectable sides. We drew our initial inspiration from a well-known sports dynasty when we first started out. Now, we've established ourselves as a dynasty in our own right. Winners are a different breed from the rest of us. Winners put in the effort, winners pay attention to the details, and winners never cut corners. Shula's Steak House was founded in 1989 by Don Shula, who expanded on his winning formula by opening the first Shula's Steak House location. He wished to serve the highest-quality steaks in a comfortable and welcoming environment. There is an ethos to excellence, and whether you're coaching an undefeated football team or grilling a porterhouse, we make it a point to live by it every day.
