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.

Went for my anniversary and overall it was great. The staff were attentive and the vibes definitely fit with the occasion. Food was great, tried something new such as escargot and steak tar tar. For me it was okay I wanted to try it but to others it’s probably better, Still was fun to try. Live music so it was a bit loud and hard to hear my boyfriend but it was still a fun experience. Expected to pay a lot more than I did so that was a surprise to see. I’d definitely go there again to try more of their menu.
