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 2026 Centurion Award in Los Angeles.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Musso & Frank Grill cleared the 2026 evaluation for its market and category. 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. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
