"Finally was able to stop in tonight. Everyone was super friendly. Menu looked fantastic and the service from the bar was great. We enjoyed watching the end of the playoff game tonight. Appreciated the warm welcome."

"Took an Elks bus trip to visit multiple Elks clubs in the district. South Haven was our last stop and they were aware of our plans to stop. 50+ people on a Saturday does really help the weekend sales numbers. Unfortunately it was not a warm reception and felt like we were an inconvenience. The waitress we had was great but the rest of the experience was not."

"Worst customer service I've had at an Elk's. People are rude and we brought 48 people from a bus in. Terrible staff. Sorry I hate writing this. Cause I have been an Elk for 25 years. I love the Elk's and have never had a bad experience at an Elk's. Do better please."

"After years of visiting South Haven, I just learned about the Elks Lodge! Membership is required for entry, and you should definitely get a membership! It's such a neat spot. I was blown away by the menu. Super friendly service. My only recommendation would be to dim the lights a little—they’re a little too bright for nighttime fun! and I completely forgot to take pictures-next time!"

"My wife and I experienced the identical experience as did Jeff and Lisa Scherer. We left on a cross country trip in late February, 2024 and traveled from Southern California to Florida and then from Florida to Wisconsin. Like Jeff and Lisa, we renewed our Elks memberships, but because of our travels our membership cards did not catch up with us until we returned to our home of record in May. I have been a member for 32 years and my wife for more than 25 years. My wife is a PER and we are both veterans. On May 15, 2024 at around 6 PM my wife and I found a parking spot downtown South Haven, strolled over to the Lodge and walked up a rather long flight of stairs to the upstairs quarters of the South Haven Elks. As we seated ourselves at the bar, the bartender asked for our membership cards. We showed the person our expired cards and explained that although we had both renewed our memberships, we had been traveling since late February and our new cards had not yet caught up with us. My expired card showed that I had been a member for 31 years and am a veteran, and my wife's card had all sorts of stickers on it, including the PER sticker. The bartender then took our cards and showed them to some other person sitting at the bar. That person shook her head and when the bartender returned, she informed us that we would have to leave. It is revealing to both my wife and me that after having visited 550 Elks lodges all across the country, South Haven was only the second lodge which we have found to be inhospitable. The proper thing for the folks to have done, in our opinion, was to have someone sign us in. But, no, no no! So, we took our business elsewhere, had a great meal across the street at a restaurant called "Clementine's" and capped off the evening at the local American Legion. Brotherly love and just plain good manners do not exist at South Haven Elks Lodge No. 1509."
