About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

At 215 N 5th St, Burlington's Elks Lodge 84 has built a reputation that speaks for itself: walk in as a stranger, leave as a regular. Reviewers consistently mention the same thing, that the people here make the difference. Friendly isn't just a word thrown around lightly. Members and guests alike describe an atmosphere that feels genuinely warm, the kind you can't manufacture with decor or marketing.

The Lodge is clean, well-maintained, and run by folks who take pride in what they've built together. And then there's the chicken. It gets mentioned in nearly every review, and for good reason. Whether it's a Friday fish fry alternative or a featured dinner night, the food here punches well above what you'd expect from a lodge kitchen.

As a chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 84 carries a mission bigger than the building itself. Members support veterans, local youth, and community causes throughout the Burlington area. Joining isn't just about the social perks, it's about putting your name behind something that actually does good.

What We Offer

Lodge 84 offers a full social calendar that keeps members coming back week after week. Regular dinner nights anchor the schedule, with that crowd-favorite chicken drawing people who drive across town just for a plate. The bar is well-stocked, the prices are honest, and the company is the best part of the bill.

Beyond dining, the Lodge hosts community fundraisers, Veterans Day tributes, youth scholarship programs, and charitable events that directly benefit Burlington and the surrounding area. Private event space is available for members hosting gatherings, celebrations, or meetings that need a reliable, comfortable venue.

Membership opens the door to a national network of Elks lodges across the country, reciprocal visiting privileges at other chapters, and the satisfaction of belonging to an organization with a century-long track record of giving back. Whether you're here for the food, the fellowship, or the cause, there's a place at the table for you.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
