About Us

Two women smiling together at a social gathering. — Elks Lodge 1216
Two women smiling together at a social gathering.

At 425 US-2 on the edge of Devils Lake, ND, Lodge 1216 has been the kind of place where you walk in a stranger and leave knowing half the room. With a 4.8-star rating built on 45 honest reviews, the reputation here isn't manufactured. It comes from members who actually show up, staff who genuinely accommodate, and a building that bends over backward when two events land on the same night and both need to run smoothly.

The lodge is equal parts dining room, event hall, and gathering place. On any given week you might find a hot meal waiting for pickup, a crowd of regulars catching up over drinks, or a live entertainment night drawing people in from across the region. That flexibility is baked into how this place operates. A special event doesn't crowd out another one. There's room, and more importantly, there's willingness.

This is what BPOE membership looks like on the ground. Not a dusty fraternal hall, but an active, welcoming space where the food is good, the service is friendly, and the laughs come easy.

What We Offer

Lodge 1216 runs a full-service dining program that punches above its weight for a membership club. Call-ahead food pickup is available so you can grab a hot meal on your schedule without sitting down. If you'd rather stay, dine in and enjoy the company. The kitchen turns out solid, satisfying food that members return to consistently, not just once.

Beyond meals, the lodge hosts live entertainment several times a month, ranging from local performers to community-driven events that fill the hall with energy. Private event hosting is a real strength here. The staff has a track record of managing overlapping events with grace, making this a dependable venue for special occasions, fundraisers, and organizational gatherings.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks also connects you to a national network of community service, charitable programs, and veteran support initiatives. Local impact and national reach, all from one address on US-2.

"Nice place; very accommodating. We helped set up a special event and there was another event scheduled at the same place. They were happy to help us out and the other event went also well. The place is a bit dated, as expected and the prices are a bit high for the area."

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
