Loved our first time at E.L.K. our server was Will and he was very attentive. We felt like our food came out very quick. We started with the deviled eggs. The classic is the way to go! It had so much flavor. The hot honey eggs were good but didn't have a lot of kick like expected. For our main entree we got the roasted chicken which was humongous and a cheeseburger. Both were delicious! A must try is their banana pudding. OMG it was so good! So good I forgot to take a picture of it before finishing it. Their "elk bars" which is their version of rice crispie treats was really, We were not expecting it to be salty but the sweet and salty combined made it interesting. We would definitely get everything that we ordered again! Looking forward to our next visit here.

The chicken was great and I especially liked the sweet potato fingerlings and carrots/mushrooms. The ELK bark dessert (I think that’s the name of it…) was tasty and salty in a good way, but extremely sweet which maybe isn’t for everyone. I feel like some special toppings/garnishes like fruit, sprinkles, or chocolate might be interesting to offer as an option. - Since we went while it was very cold out, all patrons were packed into the fairly small building. I could see this limiting business capacity in inclement weather, so maybe having a way to seal up the outdoor seating (heaters, prote

Best grilled chicken I can remember having! I got the speckled bird. Such great flavors. My husband's burger was also amazing, he got the whos your daddy. I wish we would have ordered the elk fries, they looked amazing too. Definitely going back!

Tried it out when my family was visiting from out of town. Delicious food, excellent service, cool environment. You can tell the quality of the beef for the burgers was top notch. Will definitely be back.
