About Us

Nestled in the misty fjords of Petersburg, Alaska, the Elks Lodge at 301 1st St stands as the beating heart of our tight-knit fishing community. For decades, we've been more than just a meeting hall—we're the spot where locals swap tall tales of king salmon hauls, celebrate life's milestones, and dig into the best stacks and steaks this side of the Inside Passage.

Picture this: Friday nights alive with the sizzle of med-rare ribeyes, lightly seasoned potatoes steaming on your plate, and the warm glow of camaraderie under our patriotic banners. No chain restaurant rush here—take your time with a cold one at the bar, chat with neighbors, and let the good times roll. Our 3.5-star legacy (13 glowing reviews) speaks volumes: from hunger-busting pancake stacks that hit the spot after years away, to perfect Friday feasts that keep folks coming back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I enjoyed a delicious steak and potato on a Friday evening. Perfectly cooked to med-rare and lighty seasoned. Don't be in a hurry as it takes a bit longer than a chain restaurant. Have a drink and chat it up with friends while you wait."
— Troy C
"Been here 4+ times and have resisted the urge to write a review until now. Each time we’ve had to wait at least 30-45 minutes just to be greeted by our waitress and have had to leave because it has taken so long. Plan on spending at least 2 hours here. The bartenders are amazing and the only reason I still come up there"
— Courtney Neidiffer
"We had a reservation at 6pm it took us 30 minutes to get a menu. Also didn’t have a reserved table and after receiving the menu by having to yell across the restaurant we were ignored until we left on our own accord. Only redeeming factor was the bartender and drinks."
— Jake

"Service is good and the food is delicious! The dining area has a beautiful view of the down town and the mountains. The lemon drop martinis are tasty."
— Indigo Hanahan
