Established in 1922, it serves hearty pub fare with a touch of Scottish flair, and is known for its prime rib and Yorkshire pudding.It is located in Atwater Village at 2980 Los Feliz Boulevard at the corner of Boyce Avenue.[1] The Tam O'Shanter Inn was established by Lawrence Frank and Walter Van de Kamp, founders of Van de Kamp's Holland Dutch Bakeries, who later created the Lawry's restaurant chain.The owner said, "Every piece of wood which was used in this structure was thrown into fire first with the result that we never had to paint it and it got more beautiful as the years went by."(L.L.Frank to B.Stohler) It was remodeled in 1968 and renamed the "Great Scot", but in 1982 returned to the original name "The Tam O'Shanter Inn".
