A Legacy of Fine American Restaurants Since 1989 Founded by Miami Dolphins football coaching legend Don Shula – the winningest coach in NFL history with 347 career wins, Shula’s opened its first steak house in 1989, and today encompasses a family of fine restaurant brands with nearly 30 locations throughout the country. For almost three decades, Shula’s has had a polished history of delivering consistently high quality cuisine paired with award-winning wine lists and craft cocktails served by expert staff. Shula’s Restaurants is a collection of six restaurant brands ranging from our fine dining Steak Houses to our upscale casual Shula Burger restaurants. Each brand has a distinctive menu and atmosphere, while the focus on top quality ingredients and service remain consistent.
