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.

                                                    This restaurant is a poor man's diner with rich man's prices—horrible service in all aspects of the restaurant. The quality of the food was inferior. I made reservations over a month ago for indoor sitting. We were seated outdoors on plastic chairs and a plastic table on a nice cold day. Our servicer showed up 45 minutes later. I had to go to the front and ask for our waiter. Drinks (not all the drinks) were served 30 minutes after placing the initial order. It took another 20 minutes to receive the missing drinks. The dinner arrived much later. The food was cold and not prepared correctly. An additional drink, ordered during the main course, was served after the dessert. Water glasses were a forgotten concept. I had to get up several times and ask the busboy to serve water. The dress code "Business Casual" is a big fat lie. Don't waste your money in this place.

                                                    Excellent as usual. Enjoyed the carolers, a very rare thing these days.

                                                    Love Tam especially at Christmas and this year the food and carol singers were better than ever, highly recommended for a lovely festive meal around the holidays!

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!

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