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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Tam O'Shanter is a historic LA staple known for its "excellent prime rib" and "great ambiance." Diners enjoy the "whimsical" decor and a "rich history" tied to Walt Disney. While some mention service inconsistencies, the "attentive" staff often enhance the experience. Overall, a charming destination for memorable occasions.

First time here! Wonderful evening celebrating an early Thanksgiving with family! Great service and delicious food! The martinis were a generous pour and I loved the Caymus Conundrum! Fresh sourdough bread was delicious! Prime rib tasty with plenty to take home! Tam o Shanter is our new celebration restaurant!

Service was slow and sloppy. Our appetizer salad arrived after our main courses. Our cocktails came with the main courses, a long time after we had ordered them. So we couldn’t enjoy them. Frustrating evening.

We went to the Tam for our annual early Thanksgiving dinner. The food was excellent, as always. The service was great at the beginning: once we received our food, it took a while for our server to return to check on us or refill our water glasses. Otherwise, it was a great meal.

We were excited to go to Tam O Shatner around the holidays to experience the festive ambience. Instead we got sent to the wayyyy back room with no one there. The food was overly salted overall. The chicken was dry. On our way out of the restaurant we saw the other rooms festive and fun, and it felt targeted that we weren’t included in the festivities. Went home with a heavy heart.
