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.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Musso & Frank Grill (2026). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
