At 1720 N Montana Ave, the Roswell Elks Lodge #969 has been a gathering point for this southeastern New Mexico community for generations. Rated 4.6 out of 5 across nearly 100 reviews, this lodge earns its reputation the old-fashioned way: a chef who genuinely takes pride in every plate, a membership that treats strangers like family, and a building that buzzes with real life on any given night.

Visitors traveling from as far as Rhode Island have walked through these doors and left raving about the food. That says something. The kitchen here is not an afterthought. It is a point of pride, producing meals that hold their own against any restaurant in the region. Pair that with the warmth of longtime members and you get an atmosphere that is hard to manufacture and impossible to fake.

The lodge also sits within easy reach of the UFO Museum, making it a natural stop for travelers rolling through Roswell. Whether you are a lifelong Elk, a visiting member from another lodge, or an RV traveler looking for a friendly place to park and eat well, Lodge #969 delivers the kind of experience people come back for.

What We Offer

Lodge #969 offers a full-service dining experience anchored by a kitchen staff that takes its craft seriously. Members and their guests can count on rotating menus, weekly specials, and a chef whose consistency earns compliments from first-timers and regulars alike. The dining room is the social core of the lodge, where conversations start over a good meal and stretch long into the evening.

Beyond the table, the lodge provides RV parking facilities that have drawn enthusiastic reviews from traveling members passing through New Mexico. Clean, convenient, and staffed by people who actually want you to enjoy your stay, it is a practical amenity with a personal touch. Event spaces are available for private gatherings, charitable functions, and community programs consistent with the Elks' long tradition of local giving.

Membership in BPOE Lodge #969 connects you to a national fraternal network while keeping roots firmly planted in Roswell. New members are welcomed, and visiting Elks from any lodge number are always encouraged to stop in, show their card, and pull up a chair.

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.
