"Food was great. Reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly. Went on a Thursday to play Bingo!"
— Becky Czech
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I think I drove into the Elk Lodge parking lot to turn around easily. I've never been in an Elk Lodge and I have no plans of going. Google says I've been here four years ago. They should limit the time they go back asking for reviews to six months. Most people can't remember where they were last week much was 4 years ago. Just so you don't get damaged with a low star rating is five stars"
