Neighborhood 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.

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.

Going to Tam O'Shanter for Christmas Eve has been something my husband and I have been doing for over 15yrs. We love coming to Tam for the Christmas decor and my favorite the carolers. This year was different. As we walked in, we were greeted by several ladies at the front desk. Yes we were greeted by them, but they were not in a jolly mood in any way, shape or form. I know working on Christmas Eve is not what folks want to be doing but the attitudes were not a great way to start our evening. Sadly, once seated the carolers had just left the room we were in. They never returned till we had finished paying our bill and were on our way out. 1.75hrs and no carolers in our room. The service was lacking, but our poor waiter had several larger parties to deal with. Our bus boy pretty much took care of us. I know it can't be a wonderful experience all the time but this holiday was pretty hard for us and we were hoping to have a great evening.

Everything wonderful except that horseradish was forgotten with the roast prime rib Lawry's dinner -waitress or server responsible, don't know, had to ask another server to bring some. Otherwise great great food, service, decor, Xmas ambience, charming carolers. A fine Xmas tradition.

We had patio seating on a drizzly day but we were warm and cozy. Despite some blast of sound from street traffic it may have been quieter than inside.

This has become our favorite place to celebrate the holiday season with great food, ambiance, and carolers. We were seated and greeted promptly by friendly staff. The prime rib, shepherd pie, and desserts ( trifle and creme brulee)did not disappoint. The only sad part was that there was no sticky toffee pudding 😩. We plan on returning next Xmas. Thanks!
