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.

    One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. All of the food, from appetizers to dessert, was perfectly prepared and delicious. The atmosphere is amazing, like stepping back in time. The service was impeccable as well. I couldn't ask for a better evening. My only regret is I live 400 miles away and can only visit when in town. I can't wait to return.

    This was my first visit to "The Tam", and I was alone so sat at the bar. The staff was old-school (in the best way!), friendly, and the service was quick and professional. I chose the brisket platter, and if there is tastier and more tender brisket anywhere on this planet, then I want to eat there too. It came with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, and they were both wonderful. Glad I came, it was all just next-level~ Long live The Tam!
