I come every Friday, to enjoy the best place on dry land.
The salad bar is great, actually everything about this place is grand!
The people are amazing, the food is amazing, they have all you can eat fish, drinks, and their desserts are dynamite too!
Most of all these people of the Elks 889, are Angels that help the community, come in and see what they do!
