Opened in June 1922, The Tam O'Shanter boasts a rich, storied history and warm, inviting atmosphere. We’re proud to be in our 10th decade of continuous service. We originally considered it a quiet pastoral road stop, since Los Feliz Boulevard was just an unpaved country lane traversed by rabbits and rabbit hunters, in that order.Everything changed when Walt Disney and his animators, set designers, and crews began trekking out between takes for a bite and a refreshment. So often, in fact, that the Tam was once dubbed “The Studio Commissary.”Join us and see why the Tam is said to have been Walt’s favorite restaurant!As a family-run establishment, we’re committed to keeping our community safe. We always practice strong hygiene protocols and rigorously adhere to all CDC food safety standards.

First a shout out to our wonderful server Jonah!!! What a nice person! Remembered each of our party of 5’s names throughout the evening, was attentive and fun to talk to! Food was outstanding! Those mash with crispy hay potato strings complemented the tender steaks perfectly. The butterfish does its name justice and then some! Of course you can’t beat the beautiful view on top of all this!
