These days, the Scottish-themed steak house called the Tam O’Shanter Inn at 2980 Los Feliz Blvd in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles is famously known as one of LA’s longest running restaurants and is where Walt Disney often used to dine during his early days as a struggling animator. But back in 1924, when this photo was taken, the place had only been open for a couple of years, and was still the size of a house that looked like it had been plucked from a remote Scottish village and plopped into the middle of a rapidly growing town.
Lew I. says: “They’re actually located in Atwater Village, an elegant name for a town with this elegant restaurant.”
Edward V. says: “Founding owners were Lawrence Frank (Lawrys) and Van De Kamp families. Family operated still today along with Lawrys The Prime Rib in Beverly Hills”
This is how the Tam O’Shanter looked in December 2022.
