Elks Lodge No 1112

Went there for a Christmas Holiday party. The service was good and enjoyed my meal very much.

This comea a bit late, My event was held in August and I meant to review sooner. Time just slipped by. I had to Thank Tim and his staff again for making my 50 year retirement party a hugh success. We had 100 guests, Everyone had great time, not one concern or complaint The food was exceptional. I couldn’t ask for a better way to cellebrate my exit from the company I worked for. Thanks Tim,

My boyfriend and I had a gig for a 50^th wedding anniversary celebration June 13, 2015. The place is beautiful, it’s big and spacious. The only reason why I’m putting 1star is because of the service. The guy who brought us food was very rude and I think he should not be a server. We were suppose to get beef, but the server gave us fish and he said «here, they want me to give you food.» In a very high and rude tone. We’re not beggars, were DJs! We didn’t sit on a table because ofcourse we have to DJ. He didn’t give us water nor offer anything to drink. I’m saying this because I know how to be a server. I never ever did this to anyone. He’s lucky I didn’t say anything back to him, cus he could’ve got fired that night. I was looking for a place to celebrate my moms 60^th birthday, and I’m definitely not coming to this place because of the service. The guy who served us rudely was probably at the age of 50s.

We rented the smaller room for my daughters birthday. It was fantastic! The caterer there is awesome! The food was delicious! Tim, who’s in charge of venues, catering, etc is one of the nicest people ever. I highly recommend you check out Elks Lodge if you need a venue for large group party, birthday, wedding! Thanks so much!

This review is only for the pool:
OK now I want to be as honest as possible about this but I am just not impressed. Maybe it is because I also belong to another community center where their is a pool and that pool/​location/​service/​attitude is 101 times better that what I have experienced at this Elks Club so far. I have been to this pool three times — because it is so convenient and close to our home.
My oh my does this pool need some help especially with the hygiene and the overall care of the outside pool area. Broken old rusty chairs and outdoor furniture. The grass area is dead and just looks bad. Now I understand that we are in the middle of a drought but it is not taken care at all it just looks like dead mud. They have this cute little Cabana snack bar that is if it was ever open. It is only open on weekends which is completely stupid during the summer when your pool is open all day with kids and their parents willing to spend some money. And on weekends they don’t open until 1:00 — really??? If your going to do something like that do it right the whole way instead of an half assed way. Also some of the life guards just need an attitude adjustment. Now I get they are sullen teenagers but come one man cheer up life is not that bad.

–Cheap (and good) dinners
–Full gym and cardio
Negatives:
–You (and your friends) aren’t members! (but we can fix that)

I have been a member for several years and find it a place where all types attend. It’s a place where all trades and professions gather.

We come here every year for the pancake breakfast fundraiser, which is normally held on Memorial Day and the 4^th of July. The kids love the «all you can eat» pancakes, eggs, and bacon, and the parents love the big open room with large tables that can seat the whole family. The oompah band adds to a festive atmosphere.
If you are here with childrem, you will also love the wonderful large swimming pool and tennis courts.
Highly recommend the Elks!

I have been comming to the Elk’s off and on for years to swim, take a jucasi, sanna, steam room, and work out. Who can forget the pancake breakfasts with fluffy, buttermilk pancakes and greasy, tender sausage and bacon and fresh squeezed orange juice. On a sad note, we used their party room for my father’s memorial last Thursday. Tim, the banquet or party manager or catering manager (not sure about his title,) was a kick with his upbeat attitude and sense of humor which made all the difference during this sad time. For $ 3000, we got the room for his memorial, complete with a podium and a table for flowers and momentos. The room was very clean and well maintained. This also included an all you can eat buffet with roasted chicken that was tender with the perfect amount of herbs and spices, penae which was aldentae with a choice of zesty red sauce or rich, smooth crème sauce; I mixed the two on Tim’s advice. The rolls were hot, fresh, and light, and fluffy with rich butter. The bartenders were very nice aned hospitable, as were the busboys. Man,! they have an excellent chef, let alone a well oiled machine of an operation.
As for the pool, jacusi, sana, and hottub, they are all roomy, clean, and relaxing; the pool complete with a diving bord, the jacusi deep, warm, and downright relaxing, the sana and steam room relaxing and rejuvinating. The gym, (though small,) has every piece of equipment imaginable. Like other Unilocalers have said, there is no club attitude with other members who are some of the nicest people you will ever know. I hope to take advantage of the facilities, as well as the buffet and their once a week dinners and the bowling alley. So, for a club that has it all with friendly people to match, the Elk’s Lodge cannot be beat. Keep up the good work Tim and staff.

My husband family had their, every other year, «Mariano» Christmas party here and it was a pretty decent place to have a party.
A full bar, space for a DJ, a huge dance floor and a good size dining area.
The food was your typical «American» buffet, but done very well. The favorite of the night was the fish stuffed with shrimp and topped with a white sauce.
This facility has a full gym, tennis courts, bowling alley and bingo!
My husband was like, «Hmm…I should become an Elk?»

This is the best place to work out in town. Only men now, but planning on building a women’s facility.
Great bar to watch all games. Swimming, bowling, tennis, it’s all here.
The members here are all friendly, no health club attitude.

Where else can you swim, play tennis, play handball, enjoy bingo AND bowl?
Wednesday nights they have a buffet and for $ 10 you can’t beat the wonderful grilled salmon or prime rib. After dinner you can take a relaxing soak in the giant jacuzzi.
The lodge is about 100 years old and has many historians who can tell you all about the Bay Area. The people here are wonderful. When ever I visit I am impressed at the genuine kindness of the San Mateo Elks.
