About Us

Exterior view of the Elks Lodge with signage.

The Cambridge Elks Lodge on Wheeling Avenue has been doing something that most places only talk about: actually making people feel at home. Walk through the door and you are greeted by name, handed a menu worth reading, and settled into an atmosphere that moves at exactly the right pace. Laid-back but lively. Relaxed but never dull.

The food here gets mentioned in nearly every review, and for good reason. The kitchen turns out consistently good meals, the kind that bring members back week after week rather than just on special occasions. Melissa and the rest of the staff have built a reputation for genuine, attentive service that goes beyond filling water glasses. Members describe the experience as being taken care of, not just served.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars across 54 reviews, the Cambridge Lodge reflects what the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has always stood for: community service, fellowship, and a commitment to the people around you. This is a place where fellow members are described as cordial and inviting, not just acquaintances sharing a zip code.

What We Offer

Membership at the Cambridge Elks Lodge opens the door to a full calendar of dining, social events, and community involvement. The lodge dining room serves up meals that members rave about, with a kitchen that takes quality seriously and a staff that makes every visit feel personal. Whether it is a weeknight dinner or a special event, the food holds up.

Beyond the table, the Lodge offers a gathering space for Elks-sponsored events, charitable programs, and the kind of casual socializing that is harder and harder to find. Members connect with neighbors, veterans, and community leaders who share a commitment to giving back to Cambridge, Ohio and the surrounding Guernsey County area.

The BPOE also provides access to a national network of Elks lodges, meaning your membership travels with you. Local roots, national reach, and a front door that always seems to be open.

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
