Taylor's Steakhouse in La Canada

La Canada restaurants seems like a rarity within the residential city, but at least La Canada’s residents do have a high caliber restaurant to choose from, the infamous Taylor’s Steakhouse.

The history of Taylor’s goes back to 1953 when “Tex” and Margie Taylor opened their first restaurant location on the corner of Olympic Blvd. and Western Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles, which was relocated a few blocks away to it’s present location at 8th Street and Ardmore. “Tex” and Margie’s son, Bruce, took over the family business in the late 70’s, and eventually decided to open a second restaurant location in the Foothills where he and his family lived.

In 1996 La Canada Taylor’s Steakhouse was opened. Taylor’s Steakhouse was the only business that remained when groundbreaking took place to make way for the new La Canada Town Center-Sport Chalet complex. During the construction of the Town Center Taylor’s got a “new face”, remodeling the exterior and interior of the restaurant. Although recently updated the restaurant retained it’s old fashioned, warm, low-lit atmosphere.

Taylor’s takes pride in serving steaks that are selected from USDA eastern prime or certified Angus corn-fed beef exclusively. They also have a variety of fresh fish items, Australian lamb and free range chicken. Taylor’s also has a renovated bar that typically offers only standing room, particularly when patrons go for pre-dinner cocktails.
