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.

    It was my first time visiting I saw it on TikTok and wanted to try it. I do live close to the area its kind of hidden jam. It’s a new place been open for 2 months when I asked. Customer service was great it wasn’t busy on Saturday night so I don’t know how in the future will be hopefully they stay stable. Food wise: We ordered 3 kind of appetizers and 1 main course. Mushroom & Artichoke Crostini not gonna lie we didn’t like it. Mushrooms were very chewy I expected totally something else. Btw I’m giving my taste opinion maybe for someone else could be great. Eggplant Caviar was good but nothing crazy for me it was like hummus dip with small cuts of roasted peppers on top. Tuna Tartare was good. Lamb Rack was our favorite comes with mashed potato the combination was fire. Overall was good experience definitely will visit again for some pasta cuz we didn’t order anything Italian. Wish them all the best and to stay on the same path. There new so I’m pretty sure they will make some modifications for later. Definitely will visit again like I said and I do recommend to try it.
