About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

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.

The manager came to our table and rudely asked us to leave. She said we can’t just walk in and sit down We explained that we had a reservation, checked in with the front and they sat us here. Then she stormed off and never returned to apologize. Will not be coming back.

Terrific dinner at Tam O’Shanter to celebrate a graduation event. Just a great traditional steakhouse that lived up to its 100+ years in LA. We sat outside on the patio, which was delightful. The appetizers were great and the steaks & prime rib were top notch. Loved the popovers too. Would absolutely come back…highly recommended!
