About Us

Interior view of a sports arena during a national finals event.

Linton Elks Lodge #866 has been a fixture on State Road 54 long enough that generations of Greene County families have marked milestones here. Mother's Day dinners, birthday celebrations, and ordinary Tuesday evenings that somehow turn into something worth remembering. That 4.2-star rating across 23 reviews tells a quiet story: people come back.

The kitchen is the heartbeat of the lodge. Steak Night draws members and guests who know the difference between a good cut cooked right and everything else. One recent visitor called the food and service "outstanding" after steak night, and that kind of repeat praise doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone back there actually cares.

Beyond the dining room, Lodge #866 is the kind of place where you can pull up a chair, run into a neighbor, and stay two hours longer than you planned. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has served American communities since 1868, and this Linton chapter carries that tradition forward every week with charity work, member events, and a front door that's genuinely open.

What We Offer

The lodge runs a full-service dining program with rotating specials that give members and guests a real reason to show up on a schedule. Steak Night is the flagship, drawing crowds who want a proper sit-down meal without a 45-minute drive to the city. Comfort food Sundays, holiday dinners like the Mother's Day buffet, and seasonal events round out a calendar that keeps things fresh.

Membership in Linton Elks #866 opens the door to more than discounted meals. Members gain access to the lounge, participate in charitable giving programs that directly support Linton-area veterans and youth, and connect with a statewide and national network of lodges. Guest privileges let non-members experience events before committing, so there's no pressure and no mystery about what you're joining.

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
