About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Good for groups

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.

My wife and I made reservations about 3 or 4 weeks ago because the Smoked Prime Rib was suppose to be coming back for a few days. Made reservations for the 1st night which was suppose to be Friday April 25th. Unfortunately there was some kind of issue, so it wasn't being served. Total disappointment 😞. We always look forward to specials like the Smoked Prime Rib or Dry Aged Prime Rib. Not sure if the issue presisted through the weekend. Hopefully someone got to have some Smoked Prime Rib.

Our food was cold and the service was horrible. We ordered several items to find out 15-20 minutes later they were out.
Tam O'ShanterResponded 7 days ago
It's disheartening to learn about your recent experience, Melissa. We strive to offer excellent service and freshly prepared dishes to our guests. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we would appreciate the opportunity to address it further. Please call the restaurant directly so we can discuss this with the attention it deserves. Thank you.

If you’ve never been here, it’s a nice experience. Great food, reasonable prices, excellent full bar. Always make a reservation. They have plenty of seating but it does get full. No street parking only valet.
