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.

1st issue was not being able to leave a message on their phone that are party had been reduced from 5 to 4. We’ve been dining at Tam for 45 years, now very disappointed in the menu offerings for brunch, no real brunch items. We should have checked the menu but really thought there would be items like chicken crepes as in the past. Very small Caesar salad for the price… lettuce is “cheap”! Bartender could make neither a Ramos Gin Fizz or a Bellini and prices seemed too expensive. We may go back for pub food, but not for brunch.
Tam O'ShanterResponded on March 3, 2025
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience, Tama. We appreciate your long-time support and understand your disappointment with our current menu offerings. Our team is constantly seeking ways to better align with our guests' preferences, so your feedback is incredibly valuable.

Diner quality meal for $100. I remember when this place was packed and delicious. This evening my stomach still hasn't recovered from a very unfortunate lunch. My wife's sandwich was just ok.

5:45 midweek booking. Was seated fairly promptly. Good atmosphere in dining room. Food came quick, although more attentive service might have gotten another glass of wine out of me. Nice evening.
