At 1705 Christopher Rd, the Elks Lodge #919 in Mexico, Missouri has been doing something simple and powerful: feeding people well and giving the community a place to gather. Walk in on a Friday night and you'll find plates piled high with fish, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, and dessert for $15. Reviewers don't just say it's good. They say they forgot to take pictures because they were too busy eating.

The lodge is more than a dining room. It's the kind of facility that earns a 4.7-star rating by consistently showing up for local organizations, including Shrine Clubs, civic groups, and community events that need a real home. The kitchen delivers, the staff delivers, and the space itself is genuinely suited for a crowd.

This is what the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks looks like at the local level: practical, welcoming, and rooted in the town it serves. Mexico, MO has had this lodge in its corner for generations, and the people who show up here keep coming back.

What We Offer

The lodge hosts community dinners that have earned a loyal following, with the Friday fish fry standing out as the signature event. For $15, members and guests get an all-you-can-eat spread that covers the table and then some. It's straightforward, generous, and exactly what a community meal should be.

Beyond the dining room, Elks Lodge #919 offers its facilities for private events, organizational meetings, and civic gatherings. Local clubs like the Shrine Club have used the space and come away impressed by the combination of well-maintained facilities and attentive service. Whether you're planning a lodge event or need a meeting hall that can handle a full dinner service, this is the place.

Membership in the Elks also opens doors to a national network of fraternal benefits, charitable programs, and a community of people who take civic responsibility seriously. The lodge at Christopher Road is the local entry point to all of it.

"The Elks Lodge provided an evening meal and a meeting room for the 2019 Zenith Aircraft Homecoming event. There was a big crowd of attendees like myself and the staff at the Lodge did an excellent job providing the meal. The food was great and there was plenty of it. I must say thank you to the staff for the excellent service and clean facility."

"I came here the day of my sister's wedding to decorate and the floor was terribly dirty, chairs and tables were out from another event and nothing was clean. It made her day very stressful and it wasn't worth our time or money. Worst place to hold anything."

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
