About Us

At 820 J St, the Elks Lodge #2250 has been a fixture of Cozad, Nebraska for generations. Walk through the front door and you immediately sense the weight of the place, not in a stuffy way, but in the way that comes from decades of handshakes, fundraisers, fish fries, and funerals attended with dignity. The building itself carries history that regulars will happily tell you about, and first-timers can't help but notice.

The lodge earned a 4.7-star rating across 46 reviews, and the feedback tells a consistent story: the staff is warm, the atmosphere is genuine, and the space rises to the occasion. One family used it for a post-graveside gathering and left moved by the thoughtfulness of the setup. Others have been coming back for 12 to 15 years because the prime rib nights and the company keep drawing them in. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident.

This is a place that serves its members well and opens its arms to the community when it matters most. From holiday dinners to private events, the lodge operates with the kind of quiet reliability that makes people return year after year.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar and dining room where members gather for weekly specials, special event nights, and seasonal dinners. The kitchen has built a local following around its prime rib, and the staff behind the counter has been a constant that regulars genuinely appreciate.

Beyond the dining room, the lodge hosts private events including memorial gatherings, celebrations, and community fundraisers. The accommodations are flexible, and the team works to match the tone of the occasion, whether that means a warm nacho bar after a graveside service or a full dinner spread for a larger celebration. Meeting rooms are available for Elks business, civic group gatherings, and more.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens the door to all of this and connects you to a national network of lodges, scholarships, and veterans support programs. Prospective members are encouraged to reach out or stop by to learn more.

"Coming for the last 12 to 15 years. Most recent visit was the first I ever have with prime rib overcooked. While the food mass mediocre this visit the staff was nice as always. This was probably our last visit here regardless of how the food was so it was disappointing to have our worst meal we’ve ever ordered from here for our last visit."

"The Elks' accommodation was perfect. We had a small graveside service for my mother. They offered a Nacho Bar, coffee, tea & hot water for hot cocoa powder, which I brought. I also appreciated that if grandchildren were not interested in the taco bar, they could bring food in. We were the only ones there, so many stayed for a long time visiting. They were gracious, and the room was perfect in size and atmosphere."

"Good steak, great people! We were driving through Cozad, NE and spotted the Rodeway Inn for the night. Asked the attendant at the desk what's the best place in town for dinner and she said she usually likes to go to The Elks Lodge on Friday nights. So we did, and had a fantastic night! We really caught a lucky break with this one. The steaks were good, the staff was excellent, and the drinks were very reasonably priced! Thank you Cozad Elks for a great evening!"

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.
