"Great times great service always made to feel welcome !!"
— Christopher Alford
"Up here on vacation from Florida and hadn’t realized there was an Elks Lodge here until finding it on our walk. Be sure to have your membership card. Bartender didn’t even bother to look me in the system or even call my lodge to verify membership; I had ID which would verify who I am. Would have taken all of 2 minutes. Ours would have done whatever they could to accommodate a lodge member from out of town. Not the least bit impressed. There was no smoking but reeked of cigarettes."
