"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."

"The staff and the manager Lisa are outstanding! Always prompt and friendly with the cocktails and service. The food is priced reasonably and we haven't had a bad meal. Check out the prime rib dinner on the weekends!"

"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!"
