Santa Ana Elks Lodge #794

We had a fantastic time, seen old friends had great food and highly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for helping us make one more great memorie!

I went to a memorial here and it was the perfect venue that very comfortably fit a hundred. The restrooms were clean, the side patio surprisingly elegant, and the bartender and staff friendly and helpful. It also seemed to be an idea spot inside for a wedding or other large scale events.

If your and Elk member traveling through Orange County, You must stop by for some good food, friendly Elkdom Hospitality, Great Open Atmosphere, inside or outside patio dining, and always events and special menu's to enjoy.....

Really nice lodge. Karen in the McCalla lounge is amazing!!! She does it all! Bartender server event information!

So much fun at the 2nd Annual Car show.

Amazing place .. nice ambiance! Some shots from a event I had the pleasure to shoot

Super great big space for any event. They catered to our party theme!

It was their Valentines Dance and the band was the Blue Satins, their Grand Ballroom was beautiful, the sound great, the staff friendly and professional. ;)

I came here while visiting from Alaska and the people couldn't have been nicer. The ER gave me and my friend his pin and one of the tilers gave us a very good and detailed tour. The place was huge and well taken care of. We met a lot of officers that night and they were all very friendly and glad to have us there. It was taco Tuesday and it was excellent! Great food and service. If anyone from here ever visits 1662 I'll be sure to give them the same excellent treatment they gave us.

First off, I'd like to state that the facility is by far the best Elks Lodge I've visited in OC. I was looking for a place to hold my Mom's celebration of life 1 year anniversary. I came here because I am very familiar with Elks Lodge due to my parents holding parties here in previous years. I gave this place a 1 star because of my experience with the event coordinator Stacey Pineda. At first, she was communicative when I had questions about holding an event there. When I went there with my Dad to check the venue her response to asking me if I checked the paperwork she sent regarding the pricing and venue was not previously reviewed due to the schedule I had the time did not allow me to view. She seemed to be upset about me not being able to review the paperwork she sent me. My Dad asked her the name of the room that we viewed and her reply back was "I already told you the name sir" and so I left it at that since I also had my son who was running around as well. Anyway long story short just her whole energy towards my Father and I was combative. My Father still placed a deposit on this place. I didn't want this place because of her attitude but my Father still placed the deposit. Anyway, I emailed her asking her a few additional questions she took a few days to respond back and for me when I request services from a specific place I like communication not where you respond back a few days later not even apologizing for her delayed response. It's just be more attentive to your customers Stacey. I canceled my services with holding a party here and even contacting her on the phone was harder than ever and even email. Like WTH do you have to do at Elks Lodge that keeps you so busy to not respond back to your customer a few days later. I'm done, just wanted to leave this on here before anyone else has to deal with her nonsense. If you have to deal with Stacey on your next event good luck or just stay away don't even bother cuz she won't even bother dealing with you either.

One of our corporate clients held their annual holiday party here and we were invited to provide photobooth services for their event. What a great venue! The banquet hall was eloquently decorated and it was very spacious. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They made sure we had enough space for our setup. The only downside is that you are not able to dine at their restaurant/bar if you are not a lodge member.

I had my daughter's baby shower in the patio. Everything looked great! Tables set, gift table set, cake table set. A big shout out to Mariohe was AWESOME! He took care of us! Thank u to the bartenders and a HUGE thank u to Stacy, the event coordinator!!

From the beginning of planning until the end of the event, the service from everyone at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge was WONDERFUL! Maria was who helped me plan my birthday party, and she was AMAZING! Their DJ Ronnie was good, too! The price point is GREAT, food taste GREAT, spaces available to rent GREAT. There are multiple rooms to choose from for small to LARGE parties. They helped to make my birthday celebration WONDERFUL! Would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND The Elks Lodge if you're looking for a place to host an event! They book up FAST, so DON'T WAIT!

Beautiful place. Friendly people. Elks is friendly organization. They also have a very good kitchen staff.

I'm a member at this lodge. My wife and I stop in often for a bite or a drink. Karen is one of the best bartenders there but not saying the rest aren't great as well, she just happens to be working when we stop in. Food is great and we enjoy the Sunday breakfast options. Not a lodge for the game room.

Halloween Fun at the Elk's. Always great events that offer great fun, food and laughter! We had a blast!!

Visited as a guest for drinks and socializing. Lovely establishment. EVERYONE is so friendly and welcoming. Thank you.

Went to the Elks for dinner and some music. They always have good food and a nice salad bar. Ice cold drinks and great service once you get in. Remember to bring your card to open the door. Much faster. Easy to park here lots of space.

This Elks is always fabulous. We have been here many times for funtions- special events plus Happy Hour. It's great for football, basketball game watching. Everyone is super friendly and the staff is a 20 out of 10!!!! The volunteers are super helpful and welcoming too

My brother's band played there for Valentine's the fabulous blue Satins the place was decorated so beautiful. It was amazing. Had a great time

The Mother's Day Brunch was outstanding. One of the servers, Kathy, went above and beyond, and the food was always hot due to their rotation efforts.

Great food. Vibe is wonderful. People are friendly. It's a great place to bring the family.

Probably the best Elks club I've ever seen. Place is well-kept and provides multiple room options for events. The only negative is that you can hear what's going on in the next space and it can overwhelm your own event as the sound comes through pretty loudly.

Came here for a 50th birthday party. Nice private area on the patio that had enough room for tables, food, and a DJ. Side room attached for a cash bar and a Photo Booth. Plenty of parking. Only complaint is you could also hear the music from another party bleed into ours.

I would like to join a fraternal organization and be in the company of other men. There I would find an environment of companionship and brotherhood where I could dedicate myself to the intellectual, physical, and social development of my fraternal brothers. And drink beer in the audience of stuffed animal heads. Exhibit A of my case for the Elks is the full, formal name of their parent organization: "The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America." Just reading it makes my hand cover my heart, my eyes look to the kitchen, and my feet race to the Elks' generous table, which, here at Lodge 794, offers an appreciable bounty accentuated by spry wait staff who genuinely appreciate your patronage (and membership, if you are so inclined). On this day as a guest of the lodge, my patronage was rewarded with a Big Pork Chop, from which there protruded 2 bones. That's how thick it was. Juicy, flavorful, and appreciated, it was chased down with a dash of whiskey to punctuate my Elks experience. I will look for similarly welcoming fraternal organizations in my neighborhood, and will share tales of my evening with the Elks in Santa Ana.

My wife April and I have been invited guests and have had some wonderful times attending events and dinner nights as well as Karaoke night. I have completed my membership application and will be turning it in tonight.

Words don't describe how amazing the Lodge is! From the people to the facilities, this is definitely legendary! Also the food is just amazing and from the Black Marlin Restaurant (5 Star Restaurant in Tustin). If you love fun activities,volunteering your time such as to military veterans, and just meeting great friends this is your home!

The food and the service were amazing. Everyone in our group loved the food and the feel of the Santa Ana Elks lodge.

Great venue! Well organized and flexible. Parking was easy. Venue was easy to work with.

Santa Ana Elks offers an array of different menu items with GREAT SERVICE and FOOD QUALITY!

Can I get a What What times 5! The new Elks in Santa Ana is off the hook! It's brand new, built from the ground up! Most Elks lodges are older because they were bought years ago! Dan (Current ER) and Allen (PER) have put a lot of work into making the new Elks Lodge a site to see! Visited today and all I can say is Wowser! The building is brand spanking new (shared with the new Orange County Credit Union). [Customer Service] Ate at the bar and Eric was our bartender. A kind sir if I must say. Very attentive and made sure we were taken care off. [Food] Awesome food! They had a legit lunch and dinner menu! The cook is from the Black Marlin Restaurant (Old Town Tustin). We had the steak sandwich, wedge salads, artichoke soup and corned beef sandwich. All of it was scrumptious! [Building] Very well planned out! Giant bar area with room for karaoke and dancing! The "Nest" had a second bar along with a shuffleboard and pool tables! The dining area for special events had tons of tables and a nice stage area to entertain! They even have a patio with ginormous tv's! The Elks meeting auditorium is very up to date! [Parking] Lots of room

If I could give zero stars I would. My wife bought a membership here because we enjoyed the karaoke night on Thursday. It's one night a week. Because a few people didn't like the noise at the dinner ONE NIGHT A WEEK, (They serve dinner 7 nights a week) they shortened it by more than one half and ran it later. Too short to get more than 1 song in. They literally screwed up a very fun night because of a few people complaining about it. They have bands here fairly regularly. Will they cancel them too if we go in and complain they're too loud? I don't like football. I know others that don't either. Will they stop showing football in the dining room if a few people complain they don't like to see it and it ruins their dinner? We have spoken to other members who enjoy karaoke there. My wife and many others who come for the karaoke won't be continuing our memberships there. The karaoke community is a very large crowd. I hope it was worth the loss of members to them because a couple of people couldn't come to dinner one of the other 6 nights a week. The food and drinks aren't very cheap either. Dinner and drinks plus tips usually runs about $80 Plenty of other venues I'd rather spend my money at that are karaoke friendly...AND I don't have to buy a $400 membership to go there! My donations and memberships will go to the Moose and American legion from now on. They actually embrace karaoke and see the value in letting their members get to express their artistic side and don't fold to pressure from a few people who are probably just jealous because they can't sing anyhow....The KJ Adam is also epic by the way. This in no way reflects on him...

We have been utilizing the curbside service during this trying time ! The lodge offers an extensive menu that should satisfy the taste of anyone ! We ordered the Cod and Steak one evening and the Prime Rib on another evening ! The contactless delivery was appreciated and very quick , Bill and team have a very organized system. The meals were delicious and plentiful. The meals come with warm up instructions however if you are not going home - there are not plates and napkins - just the original containers that don't really work in the microwave . We got pretty creative do it was all good ! Will definitely continue to order from the lodge!

I'm not an Elk ... yet. Came here as a guest. Place is insane. Two great bars to choose from. Food was off the charts. Service was fabulous. Place is literally brand new. Will join up at a lodge closer to home in San Diego, but will hit this place up every time I'm in the area.

I am a visiting Elk from Newport Beach. My work is closer to Santa Ana Elks and heard about the new building and facilities. Gorgeous place and the people are even better. Linda, the lodge secretary and PER gave me and my wife a personal tour. There's plenty of parking and food service is everyday for lunch and dinner with Saturday and Sunday offering breakfast. We felt so welcomed that I became an associate member right on the spot! My work is also just 10 minutes away from here. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.

One of the nicest Elks lodges I've been to. So pretty inside, service is great, ladies rooms are clean and nice! If you're a member, it's worth checking out.

Was invited to dinner at the new and improved facility. Beautiful location, nice easy parking, and wonderful food. Prices were comparable to decent restaurants in Orange County and the food choices varied. Will be coming to check out the brunch someday soon.

Santa Ana 794 is Beautiful lodge, great for parties and special events. The bartender Edgar is always so professional and friendly. It's a perfect place to drop by to grab a drink. The food sadly is a hit and miss. I give it a C+ the Doc Burger and Fish and chips are my fav. When there is food on the menu, I expect food on the menu to order. Example, Rib night is advertised my daughter excited to have ribs. We are there early enough, but no ribs, their out! So bad inventory or planning on their end. The dessert menu is pretty good, They do have great entertainment they hire, lots of fun events. The people are friendly and great to know.

It's the elks lodge.....anything else needed to be said? (: They are super professional and clean even with the taste of santa ana event going on. I was very happy to see them participate and open their doors to non members. Gave me a chance to go in before my mom becomes a member.

This is a wonderful Lodge, filled with kind and friendly people and with a full daily, weekly and monthly schedule of events to be of service to others and to meet the needs of its own members. Special note: the food in the dining room is delicious, the service is fast and pleasant and wherever you sit you'll meet friendly people. Of course, you must be an Elk in good standing to enjoy all of these benefits, so now may be a good time to check your card to make sure your dues are paid or, if you're not a member of the Elks, JOIN NOW.

Beautiful new lodge with regular hours, friendly members, and great food. The desserts are especially wonderful - try the mud pie or the cobbler.

What an amazing place. Everything is brand new and the service was amazing. Looking forward to returning soon.

Night was good. Lots of people lots of football. Then the football games were over. Music started to play, good music! Till this bearded kid kept changing the music very 2 minutes. And kept changing it...... And kept changing it...... and kept changing. The older members told him to stop. With no avail. Please fix this problem.

The new Elks is a beautiful place with lots of amenities. The food is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. Everyone should join, not only for the above but to give back to the community with all the amazing charitable things the Elks do.

Great Sunday Brunch. And what beautiful venue. I believe The Santa Ana Elks will become the premier venue for weddings and corporate events

This is the new place to be. The people that I have met have been so kind and welcoming. The food that is served is beyond amazing. This new building is elegant and has many rooms for meetings, a full bar and a lovely patio as well.

Good place to eat dance and meet friends .............a lot going on and I love it up there

Ah, the Friday night family outings. Once you pass a certain age, you probably shouldn't have to go through such agony requiring you to basically give up your inaugural weekend bender to satisfy the social obligations set up by your vague blood lines. This time, however, great company + cheap booze = good times at the Elks Lodge! You need to either be a member or know a member. My suggestion: know a member. It's so cool to get 'hooked up' in here. The drinks are HELLA cheap -- $3 for well drinks and wine, up to $5 for the 'top shelf' stuff -- and the bar looks like quite the place to be. My brother, our mom and I joined our uncle and his companions for a good ol' time, complete with lovely full dinner and live band! Alvin and I split a prime rib and Mom ordered the captain's (catcher's?) platter. Everything we had was tasty -- hot dinner buns, fresh salad, tasty meatball soup, perfectly cooked prime rib, asparagus, twice baked potato (undoubtedly the hidden star of the show), freshly fried seafood, and a nice scoop of spumoni (my faaave) at the end. The food is pretty delicious, and our server, Chad, was really really cool about it all (they seemed to be shorthanded that evening). The highlight of the night, however, was undoubtedly playing prime spectator to the dance floor. An awesomely wedding-esque band played and everyone danced to their heart's content. We're talking octogenarians and septogenarians strutting their stuff Dancing With the Stars style. My gimpy brother and my fat ass were put to shame with the rumba-ing, mambo-ing, cha-cha-ing and tango-ing (just to name a select few) all around us. Even mom rediscovered her ballroom groove as she hit the dance floor with our uncle. Awesome. Anyway, all jokes about Depends, white pants, old school prom dresses, blue hair and 'the natural sag' aside, we had a blast at the Elks Lodge this past Friday night. As long as the drinks keep a-flowin' and the dancing shoes keep a-boogeyin', this place is always gonna have a special niche in my heart. -1 star for the A/C, or lack thereof. Two drinks in and I was sweating like Ernest Borgnine on Mile 3 of an Ironman triathlon on a Havana summer's afternoon.

This place is awesome. If you are a young guy fresh out of college and are sick of paying your entire paycheck on drinks, this is your club. Just like the previous posting said $3.50 TOP shelf drinks (yes, bring on the Grey Goose). Also, this is a great place to meet up with some buddies after work to grab a bite and watch the game as well. Overall, Good food, good people, GREAT drinks.

New Santa Ana Elks. Beautiful. Food was good. Salad bar a little skimpy. Waitress was great. But don't go on Thursday Karaoke Night. Way to loud. Didn't need to be so loud. Gave me a headache. Singers were good but way to loud. But unable to hear waitress and needed to yell to be heard by our table guests. Were as far on the back we could go. Hope other nights are more enjoyable. San Diego Elk

New location is very nice. The updated menu is great. Drink prices are still crazy low.

I have read that the old Santa Ana Elks lodge (across the street from Santa Ana Zoo) was lost in a fire and there is a new Santa Ana Elks Lodge with a new staff, I wish them the best of luck.

I have been too many Elks Lodges around the country in my 15 years as a member and the Santa Ana Lodge is one of the Grandest. It boasts a huge Ballroom, a large dining room with wonderful foods, a dedicated Lodge room and massive amounts of parking for your events. Like most Elks Lodges anyone can rent the Ballroom/Banquet facilities, but it is a private club and you do have to be a member to use any of the other amenities. Elks Lodges do have standards, which is probably why the last Reviewer wasn't allowed in, even as a guest. It is an organization dedicated to helping handicapped children, veterans, schools, police & fire departments and much more. Not a place for drunks to hang out.

Garden grove elks is nice and clean but I wouldn't have a party at any elks in oc. Take a chance maybe for dancing its okay.

Luv this place. Great people. Great food I've had and been to many events here . Very spacious and plenty of parking

I recently attended a Quinceañera Celebration. Nice big place and dance floor but the management is just awful. It was Hot and they wouldn't turn on the A.C. with more than 100+ ppl!!! Their purpose, to have the guest buy off of their beverages wich were ridiculously expensive!!! A lot of guests left the party because they couldn't handle the heat!!!

This place is awful. I planned a Sweet 16 party for my daughter which took place in the Opal/Emerald rooms. Wasn't too happy with the layout, it was awkward for 1/4 of the guests because they couldnt see the dance floor where the entertainment and ceremony took place but decided to book the party there anyways because it was within my budget. Big mistake, you get what you pay for!! The staff was so rude to my friends and family, the place is old and dingy, the food was bland and to top it all off my brand new iphone was stolen by one of the workers. I have proof of this but could not get them to give it up.Thank goodness I threw an awesome and memorable party for my darling daughter because the experience I had here was so disappointing. I wasnt gonna write this review (the party was almost a year ago)but after making the mistake of again possibly booking them for my companys christmas dinner, I decided to write it because of the lack of service I recently received. Once again, I only considered this venue because of the pricing. After a few emails trying to get pricing, the manager stopped responding to my emails. She knew how unhappy I was with everything from the previous party I had, you'd think they'd appreciate a returning customer but they don't care. Evelyn was nice but everything else was the worst I have ever experienced.
