Open since 1953 this classic, old school style steakhouse sits right next to Koreatown. There's also another location up north. Inside is really a time warp in the best kind of way. It's dark, the music is from the past, and all the waiters are dressed. There is a full bar along with many different booths and tables for the dining area. There is a parking lot attached on the side, but it is for valet parking only for $5.50. The menu is very large and is filled with all the diner classics you would expect. It's well known for their prime rib, but I always have to get a Filet Mignon when I do a steakhouse. I started off the meal with the French Onion Soup and thought it was fantastic. It was a small portion, but the flavors were great. It was not overly sweet and I would definitely recommend it. We also ordered one of the daily specials, which was the Grilled Artichoke and thought it was great. It's one of my favorite summer dishes to order so I would recommend that as well. For my entrée, I chose the Filet Mignon and got a side of the peppercorn sauce along with the cream, horseradish and thought both were great. Honestly, it was a great meal for a fair price and I would recommend to anyone searching for a classic steakhouse for a fair price. read more

It's my favorite restaurant, and I had another spectacular meal here. Pereya was our server upstairs on their top level in a huge round booth. My first time sitting upstairs, and it was a large open comfortable room. We had a great time, and the food just has expected, FABULOUS! I have another reservation next month for a party of 6 of us. When my friends hear I'm heading here, everyone wants to go. read more

Taylor's Steakhouse - Filet with a mushroom Bernaise sauce - Steakhouses Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A fine dining experience worthy of multi-generations and an unwavering classic charm, Taylor's is excellent for special events and entertaining. The menu is no-nonsense with old-school favorites and excellent seafood options. Their steaks and chops are generally patron favorites, but daily specials are equally well prepared and delicious. They also cover a wide consideration for price-minded fine dining with lesser cuts, but they are equally treated with care. What continues the value here is not only the excellent service, but portions are for a good appetite. The prime cuts are usually my favorites. However, I have come to equally enjoy many other items here also. I am truly impressed that dishes are not overly seasoned. The wine selection is decent, and glasses are moderately priced at around $12. Parking around this area is challenging. Fortunately, they have a valet-only lot that is relatively inexpensive. read more

If your looking for a solid Steakhouse in LA, don't look any further. This place is legit and serving some great food. The ambiance in here is also incredible-dark, laid back, great vibe. Cant wait to come back and sit at the bar next time! However this past time I stopped by for dinner around 6pm and got seated immediately. Our hostess and waiter were great and very helpful. My server reccomended the filet mignon and decided to try that and it was such a good cut of meat. Nice extensive menu. A bit on the higher end considering location but it's worth it. You will find valet parking on site but keep in mind they don't except card, cash only. Overall, we will be back again! Thanks Taylor's steakhouse for the great dinner and hospitality. Till next time. read more

Est. 1953- Opened by 'Horse' Tex Taylor in 1953, Taylor's is a classic American steakhouse. Originally known as Taylor's Tavern, the Steakhouse has been in this current location since 1971. This is my first visit here, but I am familiar with the second Taylor's location in La Cañada (which is also very nice). We started off with the wedge salad, a cup of French Onion Soup and the Cheese Bread. The salad was very good, as was the bread. The french onion soup was also tasty, but, quite standard. We then ordered the Prime Rib (Dinner Cut) and the Filet Mignon. Both were nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side of Creamed Spinach was lightly creamed and excellent. The service was on point, helpful and friendly. There is a good size bar downstairs, and a smaller one upstairs. This place has a lot of character and it looks like it's older than it actually is. The vibe here is excellent (If it's good enough for Bosh, it's good enough for me). The only downside is the parking. There is a small valet lot which will turn you away if they're full. Other than that, street parking is almost non-existent. Regardless, Taylor's has the meat and the vibe. It should be required dining for all Angelenos. read more

On my mission to try all the classic steakhouses in LA, Taylor's was definitely on the list. An early summer evening in Koreatown with a friend sounded perfect. The neighborhood, unfortunately, was filthy. Not the restaurant's fault but a less than stellar start. At least keep the front sidewalk presentable. The restaurant was packed yet not too noisy. We sat at the bar as is our preference and I ordered a dirty martini which wasn't even lightly soiled after repeating myself to the bartender three times. I started with the Molly Dinner Salad which was fine; hard to mess that up. Sides were garlic spinach and sautéed mushrooms (the website requests "collard shirts for men" but there were none on the menu). For my entree I asked our waiter for the Filet Oscar with a medium rare Spencer ribeye instead, saying I would pay any difference in the cut; the Filet Oscar meal comes with baked potato, crab meat, asparagus, béarnaise. After flipping menu pages around like a used car salesman, the waiter deemed it appropriate to give me the ribeye and charge me additionally (about $20) for the baked potato and the Oscar toppings. Whatever, my guy. After the dirty martini snafu I was losing hope with Taylor's service and on my first visit I like to let an establishment show their true colors. The vegetable sides and baked potato were as expected but the steak not so much. The beef was mealy and the crab was definitely not fresh with bits of shell in it. My dining companion had the prime rib and was happy with the meal. A choice of dry-looking desserts was presented and we declined. Overall, I was disappointed with my first experience at Taylor's and don't plan to return. I hope they were simply having an off night. For a $100+ dinner plus a generous tip, it's difficult to justify repeating the visit. read more

The food was so good and I had got it to go at that! I ordered their deep fried prawns, half wedge salad, and their filet mignon chili. I haven't tried the chili yet I was too full but everything else was so great I'm just happy there a steakhouse nearby that's actually worth it. read more

Taylor's is definitely that old school steakhouse vibes. They remain true to the classic decor and once you step in you can see why Taylor's is a LA staple. I got reservations for 3 but one had to drop but Taylor's accommodated us on the fly no problem. I did my research as any true foodie / Yelper would. I was eyeing the Culotte Steak. But after sitting down and arguing with my self that I haven't had a good prime rib in a while I decided to go with that. Molly's Salad I believe it's called is a classic basic no frills wedge. I got the 'full' thinking it was going to be on the larger size but this was easily manageable to one person. No fancy shmancy here. Very light and refreshing. Friend oredered the Sea of Cortez Shrimp Cocktail. Delicious. The horseradish was brutal and packs that punch. Shrimp were fresh and delicious. I opted for the thick cut as I was open to sharing this as well as being hungry. Well this prime rib was im guessing around the 20oz mark. Very large. Perfectly seasoned. Au jus on the bottom of the plate was good. The creamed spinach was amazing. I gave my baked potato away and opted for sautéed shrooms. (Keeping it keto) The beef was amazing. The spinach was well balanced and not soggy just held up perfectly. I could have had some butter or something else within the mushrooms but they were good. Oh we also got a side of the broccoli w hollandaise. I would pass on this unless you really want it. The amount of broccoli is very minimal. Very fresh though. All in all this was a great meal. I'm glad we went to Taylor's. PS Our waitress was very nice and attentive. read more

Taylor's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been here twice without reservations, first time we were sat at a booth right away, second time we were told the wait would be about 2.5 hours unless we were willing to sit at the bar, once at the bar for 10 minutes or so we got offered a small table in the back. We were sat next to a loud family and the servers apologized to us about it even tho we never complained or minded it. They greet you with a basket of complimentary warm bread and cold butter, the bread gets cold fast and the butters hard to spread. They also offer refills on the bread. The steaks are cooked and seasoned perfectly. We've had the Kansas Steak, Spencer steak and the thick cut prime rib (great but not our preferred meat) . The sides have all been good, we've tried the mashed potatoes(so simple yet so so satisfying), French onion soup, filet mignon chili, crispy fried onions, baked potato & sauteed garlic spinach. The berry mojito was amazing the first time and sadly not great the second visit . The red velvet cake was nothing special just ok, kinda giving grocery store cake, the key lime pie was good. Parking is valet in the back of the restaurant for $5.50 but they will pocket your change and tip themselves without asking. Gave $10 and didn't get change when they only drive your car a few feet away to park it themselves. ‍ Kinda weird and entitled in my opinion, We just spent $200 + tip inside and then have to tip on top of parking for parking. ‍ read more

It's a shame I haven't been here sooner; seeing as my name is Taylor, but i had the best time for my first time at Taylor's steakhouse. Arrived at around 9pm and sat at one of the lovely big booths. I am a sucker for a big booth that makes me feel like a mob wife. Luckily I was dressed appropriately to live out this dream during dinner. For starters, I had the Cucumber and Jalapeno margarita, the French Onion soup, and of course the delicious bread that came with the table. Cucumber and Jalapeno marg was hot fire flames! So good. The perfect combination of spicy and refreshing. I love me a spicy cocktail and this hit it out of the park for me. The French onion soup was great too! This was classic and delicious! I paired this with the yummy crispy bread basket. Yum! For my main, I had the Bone in Ribeye special cooked medium rare. This was great especially with the wild rice. Superb! For dessert, The creme brulee was calling my name and it was the perfect ending to the meal! If there is creme brulee, i'm always gonna have it and im so glad I did. Wonderful little dinner at Taylor' steakhouse. I was super excited to visit and im sure ill be back at my namesake once again! read more

Went here for a family birthday dinner and the experience definitely left something to be desired. The mood of the night was set up with rude valet. The lot was blocked by a plastic valet sign and when our car pulled up, we could see the staff just staring at us for a bit too long before SLOWLY approaching to ask if we had a reservation. Mind you, we were blocking traffic while waiting and it seemed like such a burden for the staff for us to have even pulled up for their valet service. This is just not the attitude I would expect for paid valet parking, it definitely started the night off with a sour taste. The service inside was good, the staff seemed overwhelmed but they were kind and attentive enough for a Saturday night. The restaurant was very dark. The lighting at our booth was nonexistent and we needed to bring out the phone flashlights to read the menu. Aside from that, the bathrooms downstairs only had one singular bathroom for women so it takes a while to even wash your hands. I did not get to see the upstairs but my mom, who has eaten here prior and was seated upstairs, states that it is better downstairs. Now the food- The Caesar salad was honestly one of the worst ones I have ever had, it tasted metallic (?) and strange. My family has never not finished a caesar salad before and theirs went mostly untouched. We even opted to not bring the left over salad home because it would just go to waste anyways so why even bother? Their entrees do not come with any sides except for their prime rib dinner menu. The prime rib came with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach with a side of horseradish. The food took a very long time to come out and most of it came out lukewarm. All of our steaks were cooked beautifully so no complaints there. However, the steak is not enough to bring me back. Maybe on a weekday the valet is more welcoming and the food might come out faster/hotter. It made me wish we celebrated elsewhere. read more

Gone are the days of quintessential Steakhouses. Dimly lit, Mahogany-accented interior surrounded by plush leather booths. Where Whiskey washes away inhibitions & strong Martinis whet the appetite. Many Steakhouses of yore have succumbed to the pandemic & rising costs. Yet one remains in the very heart of Koreatown. This, is Taylor's Steakhouse. Stepping into Taylor's felt as if time stood still. Dimmed lighting, red booths, white tablecloths, & hardwood paneling -- where relics and photos from the yesteryears adorn its walls. Came here on a Friday night to a full house. The entire bar top was occupied by what seemed like an after work crowd. Was seated at a table adjacent to the bar courtesy of the maitre d' -- what an ideal spot for people watching! Ordered a Vesper as an aperitif. The Martini was potent, yet easy on the palate -- a true testament to Taylor's reputation. Onward to food. French Onion Soup - Rich & decadent flavors from the Gruyère coupled by the hearty broth with a touch of subtle sweetness from the onions. Voila. Culotte Steak - Taylor's signature cut. Lean, tender, & flavorful cut of beef cooked medium rare. Delicious. Baked Potato - Self-titled. Piled on more butter and sour cream than one should dare. Fantastique! Both front and back of house staff worked harmoniously like a well-oiled machine. Courteous. Fast. Efficient. Don't let K-town's parking apocalypse deter your visit. Taylor's offers valet service for a nominal fee of $5. It's no wonder why Taylor's is widely recognized and well-regarded as an LA institution. In the immortal words of Gen. Douglas MacArthur: "I shall return". read more

High hopes. Tastebuds unhappy. When searching best steakhouses Reddit and YouTube and IG screamed Taylor's. I loved the ambiance! The server was lovely. The prime rib was decent/ good but since we frequent Summit house and tried Lawry's before I would say the prime rib is better at Summit house. 4/5 rating for Taylor's prime rib. The Spencer steak was bland. We were shocked tried adding pepper and salt and event got a side of peppercorn sauce. It was medium rare but lacking flavor 2.5/5 Bread is just regular bread. This is just affordable steaks so for the price it's fine but not memorable. I would have loved to have wasted my calories somewhere else. read more

Had the best birthday dinner at Taylor's Steak House! I live nearby and finally decided to celebrate here and I'm so glad I did. Even though it was pretty busy, we were seated quickly which was a great start. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience feel extra welcoming. The food was delicious and exactly what you want from a classic steakhouse--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. They also have a great selection of drinks, so it's easy to find something perfect to pair with dinner. The atmosphere was also spot on: great music, lively but not too loud, and just a really nice vibe overall. read more

It actually pains me to write this review. Taylor's was my favorite steakhouse in LA. Went last night and unfortunately the prices have gone up significantly and the quality of the food has gone down in equal and opposite measure. Two people dinner cost 340$. Tomohawk Steak arrived cooked improperly and cold, baked potatoes arrived cold, escargots had a fishiness from a can vibe that definitely can't be good, wedge salad was decent, even the table bread was cold...cocktails were generous at least. I feel like I could have made this dinner at home way better myself. read more

Food was salty and served lukewarm. But for the nostalgia, I wouldn't return. Parking is available in adjacent lot for a fee.

if you are looking for a traditional steakhouse, this is it. Great flavors, decor, and service. the wood paneling and red vinyl booths are a welcome sight. Valet rates are very reasonable. Pricing is quite reasonable. it's not cheap, but it's far less than you'd pay at a fancier chain steakhouse. It is an institution for the city of Los Angele. read more

Will definitely be back. read more

The steak was good. The soup was good. The salad was fine. The service was bad (at the bar). Didn't eat in the dining room.

Look, I've been coming to Taylor's for 25 years. Back when I started coming here, I had hair on my head and a misguided belief that I could afford a house in this city. Now, I have hair in my ears and a mortgage that makes me weep, but thank God, Taylor's remains exactly the same. If you want a "modern steakhouse experience," go to a place where the waiter explains the "terroir" of your grass-fed beef while wearing designer jeans. If you want to eat a steak that tastes like steak, you come here. The atmosphere is what interior decorators would call "Steady Decline Chic" but what I call "Comforting." The leather booths have been holding up tired businessmen and first dates since the Reagan administration. The lighting is perfectly calibrated so you can't see the food on your fork, but also so you can't see the check until it's too late. It's perfect. And the waiters. Oh, the waiters. These guys have been there so long, they don't just take your order, they judge your life choices. My guy, let's call him Jose (because that's his name and he's been there for 37 years), doesn't write anything down. He just stares at you, nods solemnly, and disappears into the smoky ether. He will also absolutely refuse to let you order anything other than the Blue Cheese dressing on your iceberg wedge. He's right. Don't argue. He's been doing this since you were in diapers. Now, the steak. You can spend $120 on a "dry-aged, A5 Wagyu" somewhere else that tastes like buttered sigh. Or, you can come here, order the New York strip for a price that hasn't been updated since 1998, and remember what beef tastes like. It comes out sizzling, it's the size of your face, and it's perfect. It's not trying to be art. It's trying to be dinner. And it succeeds. The prices genuinely can't be beat. It's the only place in LA where you can get a steak dinner for two and a bottle of wine for less than the cost of a tank of gas. It's an anomaly. It's a miracle. It's probably a tax write-off for the owner at this point, but I'm not asking questions. If you want a taste of Old Hollywood that doesn't involve a wax museum, go to Taylor's. Just be prepared to be served by a man who knew your father and isn't afraid to tell you that you're ordering wrong. It's the best meal in town. read more

I asked the birthday boy where I was going to take him for his 50th dinner he said Taylor's. We decided to come to the Ktown one. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. Parking: 5/5 no street parking its KTown nough said. They have valet though I think it was like 5 bucks. Food: 5/5 $$$ the food was amazing! We started with the clam chowder and sourdough bread and butter. It was delicious. For the main I had the giant prawns with asparagus and mushrooms with some sauce. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The asparagus was cooked just like I like it just steamed and not over done but very tasty. The mushrooms were really delicious! The prawns were charbroiled but not over done and flavorful. The bday guy had the medium rare New York with mash potatoes and he loved his dinner. For the dessert I had to have the key lime which was to go cause I was full and was not gonna participate in big back activities lol the key lime which I did taste was as good as the sees key lime white chocolate (my fav). Drinks: 5/5 $ the drinks were good not sweet full of flavor and strong. I had one pomegranate tini and he had two of the old fashioned I tasted the old fashioned and it had a hit of cinnamon. Tasty and gave you the feel of the holiday spirit! Service: 5/5 our waitress was the best she was attentive and friendly. She checked on us a few times to make sure we were doing great. Plates were picked up right away after we were done and our drinks and food came out right away. The staff was very friendly. Ambiance: 5/5 Timeless is the word for the vibes here. It's a classic steakhouse. You walk into a dimly lit bar and move your way towards the main restaurant with old school retro booths (burgundy with wood) it was beautifully Christmas decorated with lights and poinsettias in every booth adding more to the charm. I was skeptical at first since I don't eat meat but they have even veggie options . For sure this place is a 5/5! Want exceptional service in a timeless steakhouse this is your spot! read more

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I just want to know what drug jesse is on so that I can start taking it.

ALWAYS a 5-star experience-every single time. We absolutely LOVE Taylor's Steakhouse.

Every visit feels like a masterclass in classic steakhouse excellence. And the service? Exceptional. Ray is truly one of the best -- attentive, personable, and always elevating the experience.

This place is like a time machine- old school dining. I haven't been here since my USC days in the 70s, and nothing has changed. It's all about the meat, and they serve and prepare top quality.

We had cocktails, London broil, Spencer steak, a couple salads, and sides. Great service, and a fun atmosphere. read more

Underwhelming our London broil appetizer was cold. We had to wait for a table and there was no reason for us to have waited at all in the restaurant when we arrived so we had a drink at the bar honestly, this is one of the most underwhelming meals ever what's the most irritating about the meal, though is the fact that I just texted my husband to ensure that he left no tip because I was so irritated and he texted me just now less than 15 that's not what I asked I said did you leave no tip I wanted to make a point this was honestly the worst meal worst absolute worst I've ever had at this restaurant and we are huge Taylor's fans.
