The lodge runs a full-service bar and kitchen that members and their guests look forward to all week. The food has a reputation for being worth the effort of finding a member to get you in, which around Dalhart isn't hard. Think honest, hearty plates suited to people who work hard and eat well.
RV camping is one of the lodge's best-kept secrets. Four sites with 30-amp service and water hookups sit on level ground right on the property. At $20 per night by donation, it's a practical and genuinely pleasant overnight for travelers crossing the Panhandle. The hosts are members, not paid staff, which makes all the difference.
Beyond food and lodging, Lodge 2390 hosts regular member events, card nights, and charitable fundraisers that keep the community calendar full. Elks membership also opens the door to a national network of over 2,000 lodges, meaning your card gets you a warm welcome from Dalhart to Bangor.
