Lawrence Elks Lodge

Completely forgot to do a review for this place! Went here late 2015 for our neighbor’s daughter’s Quinceañera (15^th birthday celebration in Latino culture, right of passage into womanhood). Other than looking a little dated, it worked just fine for a birthday party. The young lady of honor was happy and that’s what counts.
Some ceiling tiles could do with replacing. Water stains are noticeable until the lights go down. We were in a large banquet room to the right, as you enter. Lots of space for tables and a big dance floor. I’m not sure if the Lodge provided the catering, or if an outside company was brought in. Didn’t want to ask our friends who we knew had gone to great expense. But just in case it was organized by the venue… the food was tasteless, over cooked, and not enough for the number of people. We were the last of 8 tables to be served on our side of the room; there were two buffet tables at opposite ends of the room. Buns were all gone, someone came to put a few (rationed, less than two dozen) in the basket, and just as we were getting to the start of the buffet table, other people were coming back, butting in, to take three at a time. Suffice to say, we did without the extra carbs. As an event facility, it was quite acceptable and easy to get to. Could use a little more lighting in the parking lot.

Friendly bar tender, cheap drinks, the event hall was a good venue for a small local event. Plenty of parking, easy to access from the highway.
