About Us

The Huntsville Elks Lodge on Franklin Street SE is the kind of place where regulars know each other by name and newcomers feel like regulars by the end of the night. With a 4.6-star rating backed by 70 honest reviews, this lodge has earned its reputation one Sunday bingo card at a time. The callers are sharp, the crowd is friendly, and the energy in that room is something you have to experience yourself.

The food here surprises people. The Elks Lodge Burger has become something of a local legend, drawing comparisons that put it ahead of restaurants charging twice the price. The cheeseburgers alone have members driving across town on a weeknight. Clean facilities, a well-maintained non-smoking section, and an air filtration system that actually works round out what makes this place genuinely comfortable for everyone.

This is a BPOE lodge rooted in the American tradition of charitable service, veterans support, and community investment. If you have been looking for a place to belong in Huntsville, the door on Franklin Street is the right one to walk through.

What We Offer

Sunday bingo nights are the flagship event here, with skilled callers, a welcoming crowd, and enough energy to make even a losing card feel like a good time. Smoking and non-smoking areas are both available, and the air filtration system keeps the atmosphere fresh throughout.

The lodge kitchen punches well above its weight. The burgers, especially the signature Elks Lodge Burger, have a devoted following that rivals any sit-down restaurant in the area. Beyond the food and bingo, the lodge hosts member events, charitable fundraisers, and community gatherings that keep the calendar full year-round.

Membership opens the door to Elks national benefits, local social events, and the satisfaction of supporting veterans and youth programs across Huntsville and the broader community.

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.
