My family of 4 spent $330 at Shula’s Steak House. Our meal was so great that I hope this small chain expands across the US.

The thick-cut Nueske’s bacon was tender and satisfying.

Our server suggested we try the Nueske’s bacon, so we ordered this dish as another appetizer. It was made with thick-cut bacon from the Nueske’s Meats company.

The $22 appetizer was served on cheddar grits and came with a bourbon-honey glaze, cabbage-and-fennel slaw, and tomato jam.

The thick cuts of bacon were fall-apart tender and tasted like roasted pork belly. It paired well with the cheesy grits and crisp slaw and made for an impressive start to our meal.

My daughter ordered the baked Idaho potato and French onion soup, which she enjoyed.
The filet mignon and au poivre sauce were a delicious pairing.

I ordered a 10-ounce filet mignon ($69) cooked to a medium-rare temperature.

The filet arrived warm and red in the center, with tasty, charred grill marks. I also ordered an au poivre sauce, which was an $8 upcharge. However, I didn’t notice this extra charge on our final bill.

The sauce was creamy, peppery, and delicious when eaten with a bite of filet mignon.

My husband ordered a cowboy ribeye and added scallops.
My son finished his cheeseburgers before I could take a picture.

My son orders cheeseburgers nearly everywhere we go, so he asked to see the kid’s menu.

Because he had a healthy appetite, he ordered two kid’s patties ($9 each) stacked into a double cheeseburger.

He enjoyed the burger so much that he gobbled it down before I could snap a photo.

The crispy potato wedges came with tasty sauces.
The creamed spinach was flavorful and tasted fresh.

The creamed spinach ($15), which had notes of Parmesan, garlic, and nutmeg, was pretty tasty.

The creamy side dish was the perfect balance of salty and cheesy and was made with savory spinach that tasted fresh.

Shula’s key-lime pie was the perfect blend of tart and sweet.
I loved the crème brûlée dessert.

I never shy away from crème brûlée, so I had to order my favorite dessert.

The $14 dessert had a crackable sugar crust on top and tasty vanilla and cream flavors.

Our $330 meal at Shula’s was really good, and I’d go back again when visiting Disney World.
We felt our $330 meal at Shula’s Steak House was worth the price.

With tax, our dinner cost $330. It included nonalcoholic drinks, appetizers, entrées, side dishes, and desserts, which we felt was a good value.

Our meal was outstanding, and the atmosphere was relaxing yet elegant. Based on our experience at the Orlando Shula’s, we’d return when visiting the park or head to another location if we were nearby.
