The Elks Lodge on East Main Street in Riverhead has been a cornerstone of the North Fork community for generations. Members here don't just show up for meetings. They show up for each other, for local schools, for volunteer fire departments, and for charities that keep this corner of Long Island running. With a 4.3-star rating built on real experiences, the warmth you'll find inside these walls is the kind that only comes from people who genuinely mean it.

Ask anyone who has attended a lobster and chicken cookout here and they'll tell you the same thing: the food is good, but the people make it. Events at this lodge draw neighbors who become friends and friends who become family. Whether you're a longtime Elk or someone who just walked through the door for the first time, you leave knowing more people than when you arrived.

The lodge also opens its doors as a party and event venue, giving the Riverhead community a comfortable, affordable space to celebrate life's big moments. Every dollar spent here circles back into the community through the lodge's ongoing charitable programs.

What We Offer

The Riverhead Elks Lodge offers a full calendar of member events, community fundraisers, and private gatherings throughout the year. Signature cookouts featuring lobster and chicken draw crowds from across the East End, combining great food with the easygoing atmosphere that regulars rave about in reviews.

The lodge regularly organizes charitable giving programs that direct support to local schools, volunteer fire departments, and nonprofit organizations serving Suffolk County. Membership grants access to a network of Elks lodges nationwide, social events, and a community of people committed to doing good work close to home.

For private events, the facility is available to host parties, celebrations, and gatherings. The space is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the pricing reflects the lodge's community-first mission rather than a commercial venue's bottom line.

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.
