Tam O'Shanter in Los Angeles - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food and service. Highly recommend!!

Tam O'Shanter was wonderful! The service was excellent and the waiter was so nice and friendly. The food was really good...I tried the cauliflower Tikka Masala and others got the Shepherd's Pie (which they raved about). The group enjoyed the desserts and coffee.

The food and the service was great! I loved the atmosphere as well, I was very comfortable eating here. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it!

Somehow when I was looking for steak place on the internet, this restaurant did not show up. I was about to go to another restaurant but didn't like that place, so I saw the sign of this place nearby so that was why I ended up eating at this restaurant. I found out later that Tam O' Shanter is the oldest restaurant in LA! Building inside and outside inspire by Disney fairy tale style. Service and food were great and amazing. I had onion soup, watermelon salad, 14oz steak, couple of drinks and sundae. I feel I was so lucky to find this restaurant at the end.

This is a favorite, special-occasion destination for us. This time we were celebrating a birthday. Reservations are recommended because the place is pretty much always busy. And if you book fast enough in advance, you can get “Walt’s table” where Walt Disney would frequently dine. This time, we selected the bone-in ribeye and the California City prime rib. Both prepared expertly and delicious!!

Hollywood history and food to boot!

Went to have lunch and to see Walt Disney's table. The food was very good and my pint of Harp.

Great meal and service. Nice stop if you’re a big fan of Walt Disney.

Perfect. See before and after pics

This place is so cool! The inside makes me feel like I’m in a Disney movie set. The food is quite lovely! The service was incredible and everything came out at a great pace. Their creamed corn was definitely my favorite side! I am really looking forward to coming back for brunch!

Great drinks and atmosphere. A piece of old L.A.

It was a nice place! Definitely would come back

First time visit and everything we ordered was delicious. Prime rib was do tender almost didn't need a knife.

Had lunch here as part of an Adventures by Disney tour. Great history and connection to the Walt Disney and the early days of the company. The prime rib was excellent with a pint of Harp. We even experienced a brief 4+ strength earthquake adding to our full California experience.

Won't go back. Service there sure isn't what it used to be. Fish was good but side of Cole slaw was a tablespoon of slaw. Not worth the cost

Food is always abundant, delicious and fresh.

We showed up without reservation and it was the must pleasant experience. Beautiful prime ribs with my boys in soft and comfortable setting. Worth every penny!!

Just Plain Awful, Avoid Like the Plague! My family has been coming here for 6 generations (since their opening) so we know what we are talking about. To start, the beer was warm and flat, the martini was made with the wrong brand of gin and it was dirty without request. The irish mule was undrinkable and had to be replaced with a different drink all together. The Rarebit was grainy and lacking any substantial flavor. The watermelon in the watermelon salad was bitter and unripe AF. The mains were awful as well. The fish for the fish and chips were the size of chicken nuggets and completely overcooked. The "prime rib" was obviously pot roast (we ordered an end cut so I suspect they thought we couldn't tell the difference). The Mashed potatoes and gravy both tasted instant, watery and were a miniscule serving. The creamed spinach was dry, overcooked and tasted like alfalfa. The Caesar with crunchy chicken was dry. The salmon was dry and overcooked. We were so fed up at this point we just resigned ourselves to the fact that this place is obviously riding the coat tails of its formerly glamorous self while driving it's reputation to the ground. Don't fall for the history of this place, it's not at all like it's been for the previous century. We are sad to say we will never visit again, it truly was just that awful.

Live this old establishment. The bartender Tony was super nice. Menue of the happy hour could certainly be better, but tam burger was great!

$72 Ribeye steak had low flavor and was overcooked and not a usda prime steak. Prime rib was great a 4.5/5. Bread, drinks, sides, and desert were excellent.

I was working with them to plan an event at the restaurant, and they could not have been more helpful or kind. Huge shout out to Tabitha and Loretta.

Love them...but they really need to bring back their sandwich bar.

Haven't been to the "Tam" since before Covid. We were glad to be back and pleasantly surprised to find everything as it should be: Terrific! Food was great, & service was excellent. It's reassuring to know some still strive for excellence. Mike & Karen Vaughan

I really wanted to like this place, but I guess I expected too much. Best part was the food, though. This has been here for a long time, and the side felt that way too. The place just didn't feel special, as you can tell with their staff's dress code and the decor. Maybe it is the sign of the times as their Lawry's in Beverly Hills has also lost their elegance. Then, the treatment was not the same for everyone. I saw ourselves not given the help as others. No biggie, except I noticed it which is bad. P

Started off with the poutine with brisket and it was a perfect starter. I got the Prince Charlie cut and the meat quality was fantastic. The chocolate soufflé was light and flavorful. I will definitely come back.

Delicious food. Wonderful atmosphere.

The spinach was weird but everything else was great.

Maybe it was a mistake to come to such a famous and historic restaurant at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The service was excellent, the ambiance was incomparable, manual, go va

saw this place on social media? Went to disneyland this weekend and decided to check this place out. The service was amazing. There's every conceivable whisky available and they make good drinks too. We all had various cuts of the prime rib. This was the most delicious meal I have had and in contention for beating House of Prime rib in SF. The only thing lacking is the yorkshire pudding, but honestly I haven't found anyone who could accurately make one outside of England. This was a place where Walt Disney would come to eat regularly, so there is a historic table there. The decor may have inspired some of the cottages of Snow White and perhaps sleeping beauty. Quite the expensive ride at nearly $100 per person but we also splurged on a starter, four prime ribs, adult drinks and two whisky drams.

Outstanding food, service and drinks. All in all a great lunch.

Must visit institution. It's a classic

Stopped in for A $25 prime rib sandwich. There was so little meat on it. I was very surprised. I asked the waiter, who checked with the manager, who claimed they weigh the meat, and what I received was how they make it. All bun, little meat. Certainly not a $25 sandwich even with today’s inflation.

Bartender is outstanding. Waiter was spot on, attentive but not overly so. Prime rib was perfect. Very light meaning very high quality beef. Shepherd's pie was quite tasty. For California, burnt ends were very tasty, but would not be called burnt ends in Kansas City. Very tender chunks of beef with a good sauce, but no char I could discern. Still quite good and would recommend. Mashed potatoes and gravy were a hit. Creamed spinach was top notch. Chocolate souffle was good.

Tam o shanter has been a staple here in Glendale for YEARS! We frequent here instead of going all the way to Beverly Hills to have Lawry's The Prime Rib don’t care of that ambiance anymore tbh this hits the spot every time!!

Tamil shanters has a good meat selection state selection. I should say, as for the sides. I would go to clermon's steakhouse for the sides. To get salad, you get cabbage with red wine vinegar cheese bread. Camel Shant's has very little selection for sides and the sourdough. Bread is freshly baked, so that's good. It's a very good place to eat

Got Takeout for the First Time Nicely packaged with an Au Jus much thicker and dense than usual. Almost a demi glace

Came on a Saturday.. enjoyed their American Break fast .. nice dark atmosphere.. didn't need my phone light to read the menu.. Service was excellent

Excellent food. Great atmosphere, but service suffered. Probably because it was Father's day

Cute atmosphere. I like that it’s more casual but for the price I’d rather just go to the mothership.

Food always slaps here, service can sometimes be a little slow if you're at a table. Really big place, fun vibe. Family ok, groups ok.

Another famous restaurant we never went to in the 40 years living in LA. Luckily our friends are regulars and invited us for brunch. It was really good. Food was great. Service was excellent. The place, while looking a bit run down, still looks excellent for 100 years. I hope I look that good when I get to 100.

A must-have for Walt Disney fans Sharing the table of this great figure is possible here! Very friendly welcome, good food and typical setting

Service was top-notch and the best prime rib I've had, period.

It was our first visit and we loved it. Great service from Jonathan, good food and atmosphere and easy to park along the street at lunch. We were seated at table 31, the one Walt Disney called a favorite. We enjoyed Yorkies as an appetizer and for lunch the Prime Rib Sandwich and Corned Beef Hash.

Kitschy, sprawling irish spot with tons of stuff to look at. Good service, decent food, kind of an experience you only need to have once. Valet parking is a bonus!

Weird, such great reviews, yet we felt it was mediocre at best. Had a filet mignon, cesar salad and french onion soup. Soup and salad were pretty terrible, filet was just alright. Would not recommend and def would not return.

We had a great meal. Nearby table was being extremely offensive and loudly bigoted. The staff moved us to a really cool table where walt disney used to eat and really turned the meal around.

Steak was good. Service was excellent!!

The experience was satisfactory, but I would not enthusiastically recommend it.

Last time I was prior to COV-19 I raved about the food. This visit 2 weeks ago was not good. My prime rib plate was 50% fat and

A must stop for us. Always a great pub atmosphere and the bar tenders are great: a "wee bit of the Irish". Being an affiliate of Lawreys Prime Restaurant their beef. Is usually great! Been a customer for years for lunch and cocktails. A very must stop in SoCal! Restaurant service can be variable depending on staffing; bar staffing usually very good!

Beautiful building and food was delicious. But there was a hair in my drink, we were given dirty appetizer plates (as in a CHUNK of who-knows-what), made to pay for valet even though we didn’t use valet????? Also this one may sound stupid but single ply toilet paper is crazy for the cost.

If you aren't going to Tam's during the Christmas season, you're missing out on your Christmas Carol fantasy. Period clad carolers take requests, cocktails are served in tea pots, the charm is endless. If you don't want to commit to a whole dinner situation, you can still feel the vibes by just going to the bar and having a tasty cocktail. It can get quite busy, so if you're dining make a reservation ahead of time, and if you're hitting the bar consider your timing.

I love the prime Rib dinner was bomb 👌🏻👌🏻

Great place to take someone out to dinner for their birthday! Took my significant other here on his special day and we had an amazing time. Very cozy, great food and magnificent service. ( Shout-out to Stephen!!! 🥳) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking to have a lovely evening in a warm place :)

I think it's long overdue for an update as to the diminished quality of service at the Tam O shanter. Since its closure during the pandemic, it has never returned to its former and original glory. First, long-time popular favorites were removed from the menu. The deviled eggs, and worse, the dessert souffle? One explanation I got was, "The new chef didn't think they were "Scottish" enough. But French Onion Soup is? The overworked wait staff cut down in number to a ridiculous TWO in the Pub on the busiest of Friday nights. The closure of the long-time favorite Sandwich Bar. One more position evaporated. Last but not least, the decline in food quality and the inconsistency of portions. Their famous peanut coleslaw is hit and miss. One night, you get good amounts of peanuts along with the original dressing. A few days later, 3 peanuts in the same side of slaw that tastes of vinegar and not much else. One lunch, I received a side of just shredded red cabbage. No peanuts whatsoever. Brisket Sandwichs seem to be made at the discretion of the cooks. At the same table, we had one brisket sandwich served with very little meat, barely lifting the top of the lesser quality kaiser roll they have started using. Yet the other sandwich had 3 times the meat. It was quite the discussion at the table. Finally, the Tams famous hot fudge sundae. It used to come in a tall, sundae glass filled to brim, ice cream peeking over the top. Now, in much shallower dessert cups with much less ice cream. And oh yes, all this is yours at a substantial price increase. Yep, there are fewer options. Less food. Less service, yet we are charged higher prices for the name on the door. It's very hard for me to let lifelong, favorite places go... but I will no longer be recommending the Tam. I can't in good conscience. I've gone to the Tam for almost 65 years. They've shown no respect for their clientele. They could have done better.

Very historic 102 years old. Food is excellent,part of the Lawry's Chain.

The only place to enjoy prime rib

I hear the food is really good and it is a lovely atmosphere. However, as an owner of a 300 year old half-timbered house in a town with lots of these houses, and a lover of this building style, the face of the building pains me greatly. What are some of those beams supposed to support? And if nothing, who would make such a messy decorative beam design? Why does America do this to us - oh, my heart.

So it's old, it's been there over 100 years, I should respect that but it's an "emperor's clothes thing. The drinks are not cheap, and frankly, the burger & fries were horrible. The fries felt & tasted like the frozen kind and burger tasted like the meat patty also tasted frozen. The "brioche" bun wasn't. Service; actually very good. Parking; strictly valet- street iffy Worth it? No, two drinks, two burgers over 100 dollars?!!?

inside or outside dining is good and cozy, need to have reservations on weekends especially at night

I find this place and these people to be very offensive chef Giovanna likes to tell lies and her manager Loretta stands behind her on it it seems they like to tell people they're hired and when they get there they don't know what they're talking about. They will have a lawsuit brought against them for their actions.

Walt's Favorite lunch spot with good food.

Disappointed with the meal in general. The food, service and atmosphere did not match the price. The value was not justified by the price.

Great place overall. Service was incredible and food was good, but not exceptional. Meat was on point, though.

Great service, great food and great prices!

Wanted to come on here and show some love for an awesome night. I love a place that is exactly what it’s meant to be. To me, Tam offers a historical story, great food, and casual high end service. Amaya was personable and the rest of our wait staff were attentive but not overly so. They allowed my friends and I to enjoy our meal from start to finish. Prince Charles was juicy with good flavor. The spinach was seasoned and not too creamy. You must get the brisket on with the gravy fries. The drink selection was top tier with a good selection of beers, spirits, and creations. Honestly everything I’d want a Scottish establishment to be.

The ambience was pretty nice like someone's Scottish manor. The food was really good. The service was a bit average and it would be nicer if the employees were dressed in more Scottish attire. Overall 4/5 stars

The rarebit was excellent. Has prime rib and short rib was extra tender. Love tammys

Served ice cold barely seasoned eggs Benedict. The chef should be ashamed that this poorly seasoned dish was allowed to sit in the window for so long when the place literally JUST OPENED. Couldn’t eat it because cold poached eggs are disgusting. Thanks for ruining my morning and eff ewe very much.

It's a little tacky 1970's for my taste and the food is good but very expensive for what is essentially meat and potatoes. Service was good. It wasn't my choice to go there, so, in fairness I was already prejudiced. If the menu had been half the price it would have been fine. Just not for me. I'm sure many folk love it.

Really enjoyed this place. My partner made reservations for dinner and we were both pleasantly surprised. The food, service and decor are top notch.

We’re disappointed with the food we ordered on Tuesday March 26, 2024. We are Lawry/Tam O’Shanter regular customers for a long time. The quality’s of the food that we ordered didn’t test as good and cold for the price that we paid.

Loved it. I just simply loved it. The food was amazing, and food was just cooked right. When the food came out, it was still hot and just came out. The servers are some of the nicest and happiest people I've met. Even though the price for 1-2 people go over 100+, I would definitely go here for an important date again!

Super fun place to go for St. Patty's! We had a blast with the music. The concessions at the event itself were definitely overpriced as you would expect. So fun totally worth checking out.

It was a very nice place, the staff had a great attitude, we showed up without a reservation, a group of seven and they very swiftly found a spot for us. After dinner one of the workers showed us around. Atmosphere: very beautiful place. I've recently visited Belgium and it reminds me of some very old bars and restaurants out there. Food: the food was good. High quality, very tasty and fresh. Burgers were great, everyone also enjoyed cocktails a lot too.

I've wanted to eat at this restaurant for quite some time since it was one of Walt Disney's favorite restaurants. The atmosphere was really nice. I loved the Scottish pub feel, and the décor throughout was nice. I like that there's a plaque on Walt's favorite table, and while I didn't get to sit there, I did go look at it and get some pictures. The service was great, and our waitress, Missy, offered suggestions on what to order. I ordered the salmon, and my friend ordered the filet mignon. My salmon was cooked perfectly. We also each had the French onion soup for an appetizer. The soup was nice and hot, and the cheese melted perfectly on top. We also each had a cocktail, and they also had a nice flavor. We didn't order dessert because we were so full, but they did have a nice dessert selection on the menu. All in all, it was a nice dining experience.

We came here in a large group to celebrate my fiancé's birthday. Food was standard pub fare -- not bad, but nothing spectacular. Everyone had a good time overall. The hostess, however, was rude right off the bat. Based on recent reviews, I believe her name is Donna. I informed Donna we were down 1 guest; she appeared irritated and informed another FOH employee standing next to her, who rolled her eyes in response. My fiance and I have worked in the service industry before and we understand some days are hectic. It was a busy Friday night and busy nights can be stressful; we totally get it! That being said, we were surprised by the two FOH employees' behavior. It made us feel awkward and unwelcome. This was not the experience we had anticipated receiving at a well-known, historic LA restaurant.

Had fabulous food and fun at this iconic spot.

Nice restaurant, but on the expensive side

I’ve been coming here for the better part of 30 years. The food and atmosphere can’t be beat. Prime rib and soufflé? Yes please!!!

Our waiter was not helpful or engaging. He just did his job and nothing more. No personality at all.

Friends took me last night for my birthday. I was excited as heard about the place beforehand. Everything about my night was horrible. Service was slow food terrible. Being British went for the fish and chips obviously the chef has never been to England. Frozen fish and McDonald’s fries. So very very poor. Will never go again nor the friends we were with as there meals were just as bad and we all left our meals. Such a shame.

I almost always have the prime rib at the Tam. This time I ordered salmon. It was the best I have had anywhere in years. It sat on a bed of wilted spinach with a perfect sauce that was both sharp and sweet. I sopped up every bit with their great sourdough bread.

Many birthday parties made it difficult to hear My guest but everyone was having fun!

An amazing time for our belated Valentine’s experience sitting at Walt Disney favorite spot

Excellent food and great ambiance. Very pleasant atmosphere and server.

We sat at the bar. We had drinks and great conversation with Jimmy our bartender. Great atmosphere, architecture and BONUS , Walt Disney used to lunch here and was inspired by the architecture to create Fantasyland.

We went there a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing! We sat inside, and the food was cooked perfection. last night my primary was way overcooked, and my son's was undercooked. The corn was just OK. It was kind of noisy and we were outside. They let a dog on the patio and the dog was going to other peoples tables which I thought was so rude. I guess it just depends on the night because like I said two weeks ago, it was amazing. We couldn't wait to go back and last night made me not care to go again anytime soon.

I love going to Tam O’Shanter. The whole experience is 5 stars. I have a gluten allergy and I am always taken care of. Told what I could and could have! This visit, I had the salmon, soooo delicious!! Ive had the prime rib in the past and it was so good. You have to go at least once! The atmosphere feels like you’re not even near LA!!

The shrimp cocktail was excellent. The coleslaw is also wonderful.

Jonathan was a fantastic waiter did a great job food was delicious. The cream spinach was a little a on the cool side when it came but tasted great . Great dinner and will be coming back soon

Glad Tam is still there and thriving! Please bring back the soufflé dessert and of course the sandwich bar. LOVE this place!!!

3 of us at our table of 4 order the Charlie cuts (largest) for $67. It was very small cuts, no salad or choice of starch just mash potato the corn & my spinach was small portion. We return Lemon Vodka cocktail due to no taste. Our final bill was$328. Overpriced for little foods. We came here for soufflé they don’t have it anymore. Our server Sara & the busboys were on point. For my husband they comp a strawberry truffles dessert terribly embarrassing so small. We sat at a table backed to another table guest’s chair, we asked for another table in the middle & was deny & we had a reservation. Not returning.

Outstanding as always. Friends from the East coast joined us and already recommending the Tam. Thank you Tam team for another dining experience.

Been wanting to go here for some time and finally got to go- definitely worth it. Unlike some other steak restaurants, portions are extremely generous. Had the Tam O'Shanter cut (Prime Rib), Table 31 cocktail, and a wedge salad -everything was prepared perfectly and even the sides were out of this world. Didn't get to sit at Table 31, but will definitely be back and hopefully can snag that table then!

So charming and quaint. Excellent location, atmosphere, food, and service. Would’ve been nice to know ahead that all parking was valet only.

This is my daughter’s favourite restaurant so we went for her birthday. The service was excellent as always the sourdough bread they bring at the beginning was delicious, but I will be completely honest and say that my roast beef wasn’t as good as it normally is and everyone at the table agreed it was a little flat and flavourless.

I love this place as I did grow up going here and I really enjoy it. However, I would not go here with my family but I would go here with my friends. I last went last year and I had wished for a nice table but we weren’t given the nicer table we wished for for a birthday. Otherwise, the food was still awesome and everything was still very enjoyable.

Always a great experience. Unfortunately, we ordered Medium Rare, and the Prime Rib came very rare. Otherwise, it's always a treat to be there.
