Elks Lodge #257 — photo 1

Elks Lodge #257 has been a fixture along Trenton Franklin Road for generations, and the proof is in the parking lot on a Friday night. Members and guests pack in for a reason: the food here genuinely delivers. One recent visitor put it plainly, "Food was outstanding Friday!" and that kind of word-of-mouth is what keeps this lodge humming week after week.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and Lodge #257 carries that legacy into everyday Middletown life. This is the place where neighbors become brothers and sisters, where scholarships get funded, and where local veterans find a table that's always set for them. The bar is well-stocked, the atmosphere is unpretentious, and the conversation is always free.

Situated just outside the heart of Middletown, OH, Lodge #257 draws from the surrounding Butler County community. Whether you're a long-standing Elk or someone curious about membership, the door at 6475½ Trenton Franklin Rd swings open wide.

The Order · Since 1868

Join the Elks
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
