About Us

Ask anyone who has pulled up a stool at Gonzales Elks Lodge #2413 and they will tell you two things: the food hits harder than expected, and the people make you want to stay longer than planned. That burger reviewers keep raving about? It is cooked in-house, served hot, and has turned more than a few first-timers into regulars who skip the burger joints down the road entirely.

The Lodge sits on E Sarah DeWitt Drive in Gonzales, TX, a town with deep roots and a community that shows up for its own. Each year, the annual catfish tournament draws competitors and families from across the region, and the proceeds go directly toward scholarships for students at Gonzales High School. That is not a footnote. It is the reason the Lodge exists.

With a 4.8-star rating built on real visits from real members and guests, the atmosphere here earns its reputation the old-fashioned way. Good food, cold drinks, and a room full of people who actually know your name.

What We Offer

The Lodge is equal parts social club, dining room, and community engine. The kitchen turns out food that punches well above its weight, with that signature burger drawing the kind of word-of-mouth that no advertising budget can buy. The bar and lounge give members a comfortable place to decompress after a long day without the noise and markup of a commercial restaurant.

Beyond the food, Lodge #2413 hosts the beloved annual catfish tournament, a Gonzales tradition that funds scholarships for local high school seniors. Membership opens the door to a national network of Elks benefits, including charitable programs, member discounts, and community events throughout the year. Whether you are a longtime member or curious about joining, the Lodge welcomes you to see what the buzz is about.

Why Choose Us

Rated 4.8 out of 5 stars by guests who call the food and atmosphere genuinely hard to beat.

The annual catfish tournament has generated real scholarship dollars for Gonzales High School students for years.

That burger has people skipping dedicated burger restaurants in favor of a Lodge kitchen, and for good reason.

Part of the national Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, with member benefits extending well beyond Gonzales.

A relaxed, welcoming environment where locals gather, unwind, and actually know the people around them.

Community-first mission means every dollar spent here flows back into Gonzales through programs and scholarships.

"Gonzalez is a great Texas town and the annual catfish tournament is great fun and provides scholarships for some GHS students. The Elks need to get hold of the Tournament Rules so the judges and the contestants are not related and everyone else can enjoy this worthwhile tradition on an even footing. It seems stupid to me to allow anyone to "cheat" for nothing more than a name on a trophy that they don't get and "bragging rights"? All the other teams know any bragging from the " winner" is BS. A good time was had by all."

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
