"This used to be a fun place to go but then money got "misplaced", corporate did a shake down and nearly closed the place and now they charge for everything and that everything costs a fortune. Food went up but they no longer serve a menu full of food (I paid 14.00 for a boring cheeseburger on cold broken buns with fries, that I could have gotten anywhere in town with no drink), the price of soft drinks have gone up almost a dollar AND they are charging per soft drink now, no refills (you get a small plastic cup filled to the top with ice), alcohol went up and they charge (even members) at the door some days for activities they have never charged for before..When we left last week we took everyone with us. Nothing is going to change, Elks has turned into yet another Paris, TX scam operation. Might as well have just let them close the doors. It's a shame because my family has been members since the very beginning. Like with Eagles when it turned into a beer joint and not a club bringing in nothing but riff raff, I won't be renewing our membership if this continues. There is no point."

"I went to the Elks Lodge on Saturday Night. The Band, "Along for the Ride," was Entertaining the Crowd.
The Band was really Good! They played a variety of Music, New Country, Old Country and snuck in an old Rock song.. which isn't a favorite Genre, of 98% of the Baby Boomer and Millennial Audience, at this Elks Lodge.
They were offering a Steak Dinner, this evening. $29.99. I didn't order it, the price was to steep for my pockets, with the High Gas Prices and the price of things in the pitiful economy, we're being forced to endure.
I ordered a Cheeseburger and Fries, an order of their Fried Mushrooms with Ranch and Unsweet Tea.
Well... the waitress that brought out my food, just brought it to our table and didn't even check to see who ordered it. So, the men at the end of the table, ate my $9.99 order of Mushrooms.. my Partner, had to buy me another batch.
I got my Cheeseburger and Fries. And, It was nothing to write home about. I was so disappointed.
The bun was tasteless and greasy. The meat was tasteless and greasy. And, the Fries were the same. Tasteless, soft and greasy. **Definitely not worth the $14.95, they charged for it. I don't recall, whether I was charged for the tea, or not... I'm sure, I was.. the unsweet Tea, was the only thing, I actually enjoyed.
My advice.. Don't order food from the Elks Lodge. It's over priced and barely edible. Not to mention.. you may not even get your food. (Example: my mushrooms.) So, after paying a total of about $40 for just my meal... I have nothing good, to say about their food or service.
The only thing that was good, that night was the Entertainment.
I give (2) 👎👎Thumbs down, for the Food and Service, at the Elks Lodge in Paris, Texas.
But, (2) 👍 👍 up, to the entertainment, "Along for the Ride!""
