Best Classic Grill in Los Angeles · Los Angeles, CA
Musso & Frank Grill has been Hollywood's oldest restaurant since 1919 — a red-leather, dark-wood room where the martinis are stirred tableside by red-jacketed waiters who've worked there for decades. Fitzgerald, Chandler, Faulkner and Bukowski all drank here; the back room was the unofficial writers' commissary of studio-era Hollywood.
Four generations of the same family have kept everything exactly as it was — the same booths, the same grill, the same century-old recipes — earning it the 2025 Centurion Award in Los Angeles.

It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed.
