Rated 4.8 out of 5 across nearly a hundred reviews, the Calabash Elks Lodge has earned that score the old-fashioned way: clean facilities, a well-stocked bar, a kitchen that delivers, and a staff that keeps things running smoothly. Sitting on Carter Drive SW just off the main drag in Calabash, NC, the lodge draws a loyal crowd of members and plenty of curious first-timers who come for the food and stay for the atmosphere.

The lodge serves the Calabash, NC community as a full-service club with a dining room, a comfortable lounge, and outdoor space that even accommodates RV travelers passing through Brunswick County. Members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks bring a genuine sense of purpose to this place, backing local charities, youth programs, and veterans causes throughout the year.

This is not a velvet-rope operation. The doors are open, the portions are real, and the people who run it take pride in what they put on the table. If you have never set foot inside an Elks Lodge before, Calabash is a fine place to start.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full dining menu prepared in-house, covering hearty American staples that pair naturally with cold drinks at the bar. Food quality and service consistently earn callouts in guest reviews, and the kitchen keeps pace whether the room is half-full or packed for a lodge event.

Beyond the dining room, the facility hosts private events, member meetings, charitable fundraisers, and community gatherings throughout the year. Traveling Elks members can stop in and enjoy reciprocal privileges, and the property includes RV parking with electrical hookup for guests on the road. One 120V outlet is currently available, making it a convenient overnight option for those touring the North Carolina coast.

Membership in the BPOE opens the full range of benefits: discounted dining, access to lodge events, and the satisfaction of contributing to a fraternal organization that gives back to Brunswick County every single year.

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
