Neighbourhood gem

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.

We love the old world ambience and sense of history, the charm and humor. We ordered Toad in the Hole and Prime Rib, both done perfectly and flavorful. Jonathan our server took good care of us. The Christmas carolers were wonderful. Can't wait for our next visit!

Excellent service from start to finish. Wait staff was so attentive, kind and responsive to all our requests. The British/Dickensian Christmas atmosphere in the restaurant was the perfect setting for our big family holiday dinner in the private room (18 people) and to be serenaded by carolers throughout the evening made it even more special! Prime rib dinner was delicious. Sticky toffee pudding a la mode was a sweet way to top off the meal. Some commented that the French onion soup was too salty and would have loved a traditional Yorkshire pudding instead of the popover which others loved. Overall a wonderful holiday experience! We have decided to make the Tam a new family holiday tradition from now on!
Tam O'ShanterResponded today
Lizza, what a joy it is to read your review! We're thrilled to hear that your family had such a memorable holiday dinner with us. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the atmosphere, and that the carolers added to the festive spirit. We appreciate your feedback on the French onion soup and desserts, as it helps us create even better experiences for our guests. Thank you for choosing us as your new family tradition. We look forward to celebrating many more holidays with you!

We ate outside, but it was too cold and they wouldn’t turn up our heater, or forgot after we asked more than once.

My wife and I both had the Tam O'Shanter cut prime rib. The prime rib was cooked to perfection and all the sides were delicious. I had a couple Old Fashions with the Kentucky Owl batch 3 rye whiskey. Probably the best Old Fashions I've ever had. We sat in the area with the fireplace which was nice. The Christmas 🎄 Carolers came by and played White Christmas for us. Our server Erik was awesome. He came around often and was very polite and helpful. We always have a good experience dining here, and Christmas is my favorite time of the year to go. Everything is decorated and festive ✨️

Your delightful 5-star review truly made our day, Mike! Thank you for your kind words about Erik and for making us a part of your cherished Christmas tradition!

This was our second time there and enjoyed it. The music being played was what I like on any given day, but I felt more traditional music would be more fitting for the environment.

Julie, we're delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit again! We appreciate your feedback on the music and will consider it as we strive to create an inviting atmosphere. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we look forward to your next visit!

The Tam O’Shanter has always been good. We asked for an outside seating, but today is over cast and cold. Still we sat outdoor under a heater. It was warm enough and private. The Birsket plate at lunch is tone of their best . I had the BBQ scrimp , with grits and collard greens. The greens were to salty but good in general. We had H.H. Brown co=chocolate sauce on vanilla ice cream , ny usband’s favorite.
