About Us

Ask anyone who's walked through the door at Little River Elks Lodge #2840 and they'll tell you the same thing: the people are the point. Travelers passing through have called it out specifically, praising the conversations they struck up with members they'd never met before. That kind of warmth isn't scripted. It's the product of a community that actually shows up for each other, week after week, along State Highway 57 just south of the Grand Strand.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been one of America's most enduring fraternal organizations since 1868, and Lodge #2840 carries that tradition with pride in coastal South Carolina. Members here are veterans, tradespeople, retirees, and young families, united by a shared commitment to community service, charitable giving, and looking out for one's neighbors. The lodge's 4.8-star rating across 75 reviews isn't a marketing number. It's what happens when a club genuinely delivers.

The bar is friendly, the food is solid, and the bartenders know how to make a guest feel at home whether they're a longtime dues-paying member or a visiting Elk stopping in from another state. Pull up a stool and you'll understand why this place keeps earning its reputation.

What We Offer

Lodge #2840 offers members and their guests a full-service bar and kitchen that regulars rely on for a satisfying meal without the tourist-strip markup. The food earns consistent praise, the drinks are fairly priced, and the staff treats everyone like they belong there.

Beyond the bar and dining room, the lodge hosts community fundraisers, charitable events, and member-driven programs that funnel real dollars back into Little River and the broader Horry County area. Elks nationally donate millions each year to veterans' causes, youth programs, and local scholarships, and this lodge participates actively in that mission.

Membership opens the door to reciprocal privileges at Elks lodges across the country, which is why traveling members make a point of stopping in. Whether you're looking to join, attend an event, or simply visit as a member of another lodge, the welcome here is genuine and the conversation is always worth staying for.

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
