Rachel MutiaMay 12, 2015The prime rib plate is too good! Seasoning it with their salt and pepper makes it even better. $22 was worth it!
Katherine M.September 15, 2017Rumor has it that this was one of Walt Disney's favorite places to dine. If you get a seat in a back room, it certainly does feel like a Snow White/Sleeping Beauty cottage in Fantasyland!Upvoted Jan 10- A city treasure. Enjoy a great cut of Lawry's prime rib, or, better yet, try the Tam's signature Toad in the Hole for filet mignon in a giant popover / Yorkshire pudding bowl.
Veronica ChaviraJuly 15, 2018I recommend the Tam O’Shanter prime rib cut. All the sides are family style, try the Mac’ & cheese and creamed spinach! Live bands are there on weekends!
Jon SanchezAugust 31, 2015I love this place. They host Plough Boys Celtic on most Thursday nights! What a great place, cozy, get food and libations!
Doug WieboldtMay 27, 2016The Prime Rib is a must, as are the souffle's. Good wine list. Kid friendly. We go every time we are in L.A. area.
Offbeat L.A.January 28, 2016Opened 1922. Designed by storybook architect Harry Oliver. Classic Scottish steakhouse with ornate interior.
- Domingo RJuly 27, 2019The prime rib is always outstanding! But if you are looking for a fine dining experiwnce , stay away from the pub. At least on Tuesdays, it gets overcrowded and loud..Make a reservation!
EaterDecember 20, 2016The Prime Rib is still the best overall place for prime rib in Los Angeles, but this Scottish cottage in Atwater Village, owned by the same company, offers pristine prime rib in an unbeatable space.
Morgan ProfferNovember 10, 2013Amazing live music. Incredibly attentive and friendly service. Great food. Can't say enough good things about this place! Recommend 100%.
Chad MillerAugust 8, 2014The Toad In The Hole is perfect ale food: filet mignon, pearl onions, mushrooms, and Yorkshire pudding.
Steve VaughanDecember 5, 2019Its our go to place every Christmas. The food is awesome. The atmosphere is awesome. The carolers are really awesome.
Yen PhamJanuary 21, 2019I love their prime rib and mashed potatoes lovely atmosphere wonderful service I definitely will come back again
Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz (the best quiz) is now here on Thursday Nights at 7! Free to play, and there are fabulous prizes at the end (and pretty good prizes in the middle).
The sandwich bar is quality and a nice alternative to the full dining restaurant. Be sure to check it out!
Silent HollywoodMarch 15, 2012Regular Walt (the 1st Disney studios were nearby) was inspired by the pubs wood-frame Tudor building. Mary Pickford and Tom Mix were also fans of the hearty Scottish menu which has changed little.
eric bornemannDecember 28, 2022You get a little bit of LA history and a lot of Welsh rarebit. Nice patio on weekends.

Seriously great food and drinks, as well as good service. Great live music on Friday and Saturday nights!
Margaret DreyerAugust 7, 2015The prime rib was amazing and the service was amazing! Definitely worth the price!
Bill ChottSeptember 1, 2010The Tam O'Shanter is one of LA's oldest restaurants. Walt Disney and his crack crew of animators used to dine on prime rib and fine Scotch here. Now, it's home to the funnest night of trivia in LA on Read more
Live music in the Ale and Sandwich bar on Saturday nights. Great craic.
Maggie SAugust 9, 2014I've only ordered prime rib here, and for good reason. The lemonade is good but perhaps a tad too tart, as it actually made my throat hurt.
Tracy MorganJune 15, 2017The 10oz prime rib was excellent. Mmm. Don't forget to tip at the carving station.- Greg RDecember 28, 2014Everything I've had here is awesome but can't miss the beef fat fries and Yorkshire pudding.
Rebs YApril 13, 2012Order the Moscow Mule: "spicy, not too sweet and sneakily alcoholic, with the odd, velvety fizzing sensation that happens when carbonation encounters soft metal."- Bill BellDecember 16, 2015If you like good old fashioned home cooking, this is the place. It's all good
- Jared ProudfootJune 17, 2012Ask to sit at the Walt Disney table (#31)! He used to be a regular here!
Try the brisket sandwich w/ a side of thier house cole slaw at the bar with a tall glass of Harp. You will not regret it.
Karl HobartAugust 7, 2014It's pricey, but I can't get enough of their brisket sandwich on an onion roll.
- Neal U.July 29, 2014Just like walking into 1955. Also what a place to eat yourself into a beef coma. Omg.
Cynthia de la TorreDecember 27, 2013Tam O'Shanter happy hour: $4 wells and $5 draft beers, weekdays from 4-7pm. #winning
The Sadwich Bar is an L.A. classic. Overall great place to take out of towners or for various holidays.
Come on a Friday night and enjoy the incomparable Ploughboys! Celtic music and kilts!
The bar menu is awesome and much cheaper than the restaurant part but both have delicious prime rib!
