About Us

A decorated event space with tables and chairs set up.

At 1316 S Hampton Road, the DeSoto Elks Lodge has earned a 4.7-star reputation by doing one thing consistently well: making people feel at home. Walk through the doors and you'll find a spacious hall that has hosted 60th birthday milestones, wedding receptions, and everything in between. The reviews say it best: plenty of room, friendly faces, and a full working kitchen ready to support whatever you're cooking up.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been rooted in American communities for over 150 years, and this DeSoto chapter carries that tradition forward with real purpose. Members show up for each other, for veterans, for youth programs, and for neighbors who need a hand. The lodge isn't just a building you rent for a Saturday. It's a place where regulars know your name and new faces quickly become regulars.

Located just off S Hampton Rd in DeSoto, the lodge is easy to find and easier to love. Whether you're attending your first Elks event or celebrating a milestone birthday with 80 of your closest friends, this space has the bones to make it happen.

What We Offer

The DeSoto Elks Lodge offers a full-size event hall that comfortably accommodates crowds large enough for a real party and intimate enough for a meaningful gathering. Need to feed your guests? The commercial kitchen is available for caterers and for hosts who want to get on the grill themselves. Outdoor grilling space adds a backyard feel to any celebration.

Beyond event rentals, the lodge runs a full calendar of member activities, community fundraisers, and charitable programs tied to the national Elks mission. Veterans' support, youth scholarships, and local outreach are woven into the lodge's regular programming. Membership opens the door to discounted venue access, a built-in social network, and the satisfaction of giving back to DeSoto and the broader Dallas-area community.

Private event bookings are available for birthdays, receptions, reunions, and corporate gatherings. The space is accessible, straightforward to find, and staffed by members who actually want your event to go well.

"Our friend had his 60th bday party here. It has plenty of room for a decent size crowd. A full size working kitchen and you are carering or wanting to cook for your guest, you can cook on grills. You can also have a DJ and a band. Very nice place with full bar and 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.
