Was in town for a conference and lucky to have an opportunity to stay at the Sheraton Grand Riverwalk where Shula's is located. It's tucked to the right the moment you enter the front lobby and can easily be missed if you aren't paying attention, even more so because you can travel and exit through different doors at this hotel. The moment you walk in, it feels somewhere between an mid to upscale restaurant. You are always greeted warmly and the bar is directly right at the entrance which hides the restaurant a bit in the back. Foodwise, starting with appetizers, they were great. We had oysters, deep fried oysters, calamari, and bread. Everything was on point and delicious. I don't think you could go wrong with any appetizers. For the main course, I ordered the New York Strip, it was okay. Tasted a bit burnt for a medium rare. I was expecting more since this place was known for it's steak. The sides were delicious though. I had the broccolinis and mashed potatoes. Dessert, the portions are huge for the cake. I got a carrot cake that was designed to be shared by three to four people easily. Overall, everything was great, the steak was a slight letdown, but delicious overall. read more

I was exhausted after flying in and doing checkin that I wanted to eat something close so why not at the hotel restaurant? The staff was really nice and sat me at a table (bar was full) and brought water. I ordered the steak chimichurri that came with fried. I don't really eat fries so I asked if I could change to a vegetable. The server offered broccolette but he would check with the chef. Thankfully the chef accommodated and I got a delicious steak that was perfectly cooked medium rare. The broccolette was a bit crunchy which I like and had cheese on top. The food didn't take too long to come out and I was able to have a quick delicious dinner. Service was great and I was surprised there was no charge for changing the fries. The ambiance here is more on the upscale side, but I didn't feel out of place by being there casual with my airport clothes. read more

Very average. The stars are saved by the service - very friendly, very fast (but not rushed) they recognized we were dining with a 5 year old and 9 month old so would appreciate fast service. Ordered two apps: 1) Shrimp cocktail was great 2) bruschetta was mostly cheese, but still good! Then ordered the bone in rib eye for dinner with a side of mac and cheese and asparagus. The dinner included two sauces which were great. Sides were okay. Steak was over cooked and very salty. Meal was very expensive and I don't think this was reflected in the overall quality of the food. Inside of restaurant was clean and peaceful, we enjoyed looking out the windows. read more

Shula's Steak House - Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tucked away inside the hotel, Shula's feels like a well-kept secret--usually discovered by convention goers, but worth seeking out. We've dined here a few times, and every visit impresses with spectacular food, welcoming ambiance, and genuinely friendly service. On our latest trip, we grabbed seats at the bar for a drink, Caesar salad and, of course, the cheesecake. We always go back for it. Not exaggerating--it's hands down the best cheesecake you'll ever eat. read more

Overall: 8/10 Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Value: 5/10 Always a good time here but comes with a steep price tag. The steak was great and cooked well. The "French Baked Potato" is super weak for the price. Tell them to beef it up if you order it. It was $250 per person so be prepared. read more

Located inside Sheraton Grand. Convenient and was seated immediately for dinner with an unexpected very late arrival to hotel. Chill modern steakhouse ambiance. Attentive service. Nicely "Fried Calamari". Good was my lightly seasoned medium rare "Cowboy Ribeye". Hard to cut were their "Roasted Brussel Sprouts". Expensive as expected, and I have no problem coming back to this steakhouse again if I was under the same conditions as of this visit. Cheers! read more

Shula's Steak House - Ribeye! (07/17/23) - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great experience at Shulas for a work dinner. Made reservations, arrived on time and sat right down. Ordered the cowboy ribeye that came out cooked perfectly. Tried the house salad, bread service and asparagus as well and all were good. Interesting house ranch on the salad, had a bit of vinegar in it, was good! The restaurant is located in the Sheraton and has nice street views of Columbus. Would go again! read more

Omg. That Mother's Day Buffet was to die for. I mean... unlimited crab legs? Yes... please. And unlimited Mamosas! Score. Besides the typical brunch options, they also had an omelett station, prime rib station, and all the pastries & fruit you can eat. My husband made his own French toast, and my child feasted in a ton of bread & fruit. Service was great, the food was delicious. We were able to make our own bouquet of flowers as a generous gift. read more

Food came before drinks and they charged my a 22% tip for my table of "6" when the 6th person was a 1yr old who didn't eat anything. Super watery creamy spinach. You can't call yourself a steakhouse and not execute on creamy spinach. Shulas used to set the standard. Now its just an overpriced knockoff read more

The service is lackluster... The food is even worse. Dry pork chops and overly cooked salmon. The only good thing I ate was the oysters on the half shell... It's was my wife and I and yet we sat in the back passing a lot of 2 person tables to be sat at a 4 person table... read more

Contrary to current trends, Yelp.com is the very best platform to post both positive and negative reviews of establishments. Both Facebook and Google reviews are geared towards protecting the business and limit legitimate adverse reviews by burying them in a sea of sugar coated fluff or removing them without warning. For my birthday, three of my friends took me here for dinner and it was an extraordinary experience. I had the massive cowboy ribeye at $78 and it was delicious and cooked to perfection, the way I love it, medium rare. My friends had the rack of lamb and vegan options. I was presented with a side of carrot cake for my birthday. Service was impeccable, yet not overbearing. Marvelously spacious and richly appointed interior. I would definitely entertain returning sometime soon. I had a wonderful birthday surprise and I will most highly recommend Schula's Steakhouse to others. Bon Appetit! read more

Really enjoyed this culinary experience. I heard of Shula's Steakhouse for many years but never tried it until recently. I regret that decision and am so sorry it took me so long. I ordered the table bread, mac and cheese, the crab cake entree with cream corn. The food was so good I could have eaten the mac and cheese and corn all night. They were both flavored perfectly. The crab cakes were wonderful as well. I could not finish my meal and was a bit disappointed because I wanted to try the carrot cake. I just could not eat anything else though. I left this restaurant a happy man! read more

If you're craving steak, this is the perfect place to visit. The service is impeccable, and the wine list is outstanding. I highly recommend Shula's if you're looking for a delicious meal and a great atmosphere. You can't go wrong with the 48 oz porterhouse steak. read more

This restaurant gets two stars because our service waiter was kind and accommodating. The first clue was, there were only two people dining at a restaurant that's in such a beautiful area, sitting on the Riverwalk and attached to a hotel. The Food is over priced and tasteless. Nothing was fresh. The silverware had water stains. There are so many more better steakhouses in Chicago. Shula's need to do better . read more

We had just gotten into town and didn't want to travel far from the hotel. Nothing else was around but just wanted something since we hadn't eaten and it was getting late. Didn't necessarily want to try the steakhouse just for a bite/snack so I decided to try their burger but wasn't expecting much. I'm always looking for a good burger and this was one of the best burgers I've ever had! We spent 3 days in Chicago and had great food but that was a highlight. read more

Steak was ok. Asked for extremely rare. It was more med rare. A colleague asked for lamb chops well and that was pink. Maybe a bad night for cooks. Waitress was very nice and helpful. read more

I had the best steak I've had in a very long time and the wait staff was very personable and professional.

Poor service. Mediocre food. Took almost ten mins to even order a drink at our table. My food- Churrasco Style Steak Frites-Prime NY Strip 8oz, Chimichurri, Kennebec Fries. Steak was so fatty it was hard to eat. Hardly any chimichurri sauce. Fries were lukewarm and had no seasonings at all. Business dinner - no one else was very happy. Most said similar - just okay. Wont return for the price. read more

Like other shulas they are really good and always have a good vibe. I have to start by saying James at the bar was extremely helpful. i was here for pleasure and wanted to watch a particular soccer game at 9 am the next day. he started asking regular customers of they knew a place for me to watch that game. the chicken was amazing, super tasty, the chilli pepper sauce was something else. i ordered the mashed potatoes and they made an awesome combination. i will highly recommend to stop by if you are in town or stay at the Sheraton read more

I think every sports fan and most guys as well as girls have to come here, if they know of Shula at all. Then again few wouldn't know why he is. My Friends from out of town wanted to have a steak dinner here. We had some wines and beers, sided are a la carte, as expected of a good steak house. I had a filet and a Caesar, the others had to have filet or New York strip steaks with some potatoes, baked and truffles fries too, we did balance out the meat and potatoes with some sautéed mushrooms and spinach. I honestly don't think we actually came here for the food, but rather so my friends could hold the football. They were more interested in holding the football for pics than our meal. read more

The steak was good. Brussels we're good but not great. Mashed potatoes were quite tasty. I'd had an old fashioned to drink, and it was ok. Really sweet, LOTS of ice. Overall, it was a pretty solid meal. That being said, I don't think it can justify the prices. It's been a while since I last was able to visit a Shula's, but I miss the menu on the football. That was a great touch. The server was anything but enthusiastic and don't explain anything on the menu and no "Dolphins flair", no steaks to commemorate "the only perfect season". Those Dolphins and Coach Shula touches were very much lacking and take away from the dining experience at this otherwise very good restaurant. Like I said, it's solid, but not worth the prices. read more

Dined here on a Friday September 30th. We wanted to find another great steakhouse that we could frequent to. It was surprisingly low key for a Friday night. Steady, but not busy. Very clean and not too quiet or too loud. There were a variety of people there either on a date, in a group, solo, or business. We had excellent service from everyone. Our server (Masiah?) was very attentive and sweet. Knowledgeable about the menu. The menu was much smaller than expected. Oysters were great. Much bigger than I expected and easy to devour. We also ordered a NY Strip, Ribeye with lobster, and 2 loaded baked potatoes. The NY strip was good, but my boyfriend didn't want bone in, but still liked it. I loved my rib eye and was shocked I finished it. I love lobster, but couldn't eat it. It was not something I recommend here. It was rubbery. Baked potatoes were perfect. We also had blueberry cheese cake which was gone very quickly. My aperol spritz was delicious too. We will be back. It was overall a great experience. read more

I usually venture out to great new finds in Chicago, but the concierge at the hotel gave a 25% off meal voucher, so I decided to use it at Shula's The place is very steakhouse feeling and the bar area is lively We were seated and the wait staff were all professional The list, although large, did not have as good of a list as many other steakhouses I have been too- plus their prices were at least 4 times retail- ouch The menu was similar to most other steakhouse, but I didn't really see anything that is a thrilling, must try signature dish- so i had a wedge like salad and a decent filet with a peppercorn cognac sauce- that was tasty Will I come back? Probably not unless there is a huge snow storm or it is -70 F outside read more

Many people look down their noses at "hotel" restaurants. I wandered in here with some friends during a conference at the Sheraton and we stayed for dinner. I had a very good dining experience. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. He had a great knowledge of the restaurant theme and decor. I had a smallish steak and it was done well. Not well done. I order my steak medium. Overall, the atmosphere was relaxing and it was easy to talk - no loud music. I would go again. read more

I was with a party of 24 and we had a private room. The food was amazing. The waiter that led everything that night and had great energy and had all the food coming out at the right time. He was humorous, paid attention to detail, and it is best to make sure that everyone was happy. I chose the salmon dinner which was good could've use the 10 bit more seasoning. We also have a choice of a grilled chicken and a Kansas City steak and a strip steak. Everything was amazing the Kansas City huge bone in and looked amazing it took up the whole plate. All of The portions were more than generous as you can see I posted a seven layer chocolate cake that we had for dessert. Huge wine selection and made any drinks that we ask. I can't complain about one thing the room was perfect for us we had three rounds of tables the only thing was the lighting was a little dark however it fit the atmosphere. If I could've made a suggestion is that if they could've piped in just a little bit of music. Overall great restaurant, great atmosphere, great food! read more

We were staying at the Sheraton and wanted to stop in to go have a drink. The place looked nice but while walking towards two open seats at the bar I was approached by an employee who said "we are full right now, can't help you, but you can maybe come back later!" Wow, I understand being busy or even understaffed but there is a way to talk and treat people with some respect. I won't be going there to eat or for a drink the next time I visit. read more

When you are traveling, and have a really tight schedule, you don't always have time to look for a new, exciting places to eat. Even if you have the time to look up a few places, you might not have the time to actually go to one. In this case, what you wish for is a great restaurant inside the hotel you are staying at. This is exactly what happened with me when I traveled to Chicago. I stayed at Sheraton Grand, and thankfully, they had a real restaurant in it. The inside was a nice size, much bigger than I expected. The restaurant is on the ground floor, and right by the hotel entrance, therefore, they have a street view. The interior is classic, with wood floor, dark furniture, and tables covered with white tablecloths. Lots of photos in sepia, creating kind of historic atmosphere. We were taken to our table with a football! Their signature steak menu was on the football, how cool is that? They do have more steak offerings on the actual menu, on paper. Since I was not super hungry (regrettably), I didn't order their steak. Instead, I ordered Pan-Seared Sea Scallops. The scallops were really nice and plump, soft and tasty. The roasted corn was sweet and flavorful, asparagus was crunchy and fresh, and bacon added that extra punch of deliciousness. Didn't get much truffle flavor, but it was still a good dish, I enjoyed it. My companion ordered one of their steaks and seems like he really liked the steak, as he devoured it all. The staff was really nice, friendly and polite. He made sure we were well taken care of. We didn't have to ask for anything. It was a very pleasant, relaxing dinner, I wish if I was more hungry so I could have tried their steak...maybe next time. read more
