Shula's,The best choice for Steak at WDW.

[DawnCt1]

DH and I have been coming to WDW for 30 years. We have our favorite restaurants and with the exception of Portobello's, generally stick to Disney restaurants. Years ago when the Yachtsman Steak House opened, they served prime meat. A few years ago they switched to choice. I don't know if they have switched back. Not wanting to pay prime prices for choice cuts, we opted for Shula's at the Dolphin. It was a great choice. Everything is a la carte, like Ruth Chris' Steak House. They not only serve prime but the 1% above prime. The sides are huge so if you order sides, plan on sharing it. I had the Cowboy steak, ribeye with the bone in. I ordered it medium rare and that is exactly how it came. DH had the New York strip, rare. Before the server leaves you with your entree, they ask that you slice into the middle to be sure that it is cooked as ordered. The salads are great. I had the chop tomato and mozarella salad, DH had the beefsteak tomato and gorganzola. It was all good. We shared the grilled asparagus. We had no room for dessert, but did have coffee. If you are looking for an excellent meal, you can't go wrong here. The meal and the preparation exceeded that of California Grill and if you are looking for steak, this is my first pick!

Shula's is our favorite especially since we got engaged there. I just love the cowboy ribeye!

Thanks. I blew off Shula's in December at the recommendation of many here for Yachtsman. I was very disappointed. I mean, it was OK but I was raised on a tobacco farm in NC with 100+ head of Black Angus and we raised and aged our own beef. I guess I have pretty unreasonable standards when it comes to beef in a restuarant.

I have to admit, I love Ruth's Chris. It's sort of like the McDonald's of high-end steakhouses. It may not be the best steak I've ever had but it's the same every time I go to one and it's the same no matter where it is. I wish the one in Orlando was a little closer to WDW.

I was disappointed in Yachtsman, as I said. Thanks for re-assuring me that I should give Shula's a chance. I have all but given up on ever getting a decent steak on-property. I'll give it a shot in June.

We love Shula's. Great food and great service. I agree the sides are huge. The baked potato looks like a med. size football. Glad you enjoyed your meal. My mouth was watering just reading your post.

I have never been to Shula's, we may give it a try.

Shula's Is AWESOME!!! We have one in Indianapolis ~ the steak is divine. A friend of a friend works for them, and said it's because of the way the steak is aged. (I think it's water-aged?)

Amazing steak, sure to please the pickiest carnivore!!
