The fresh fish, soups, sandwiches salads are something we look forward to at least twice a year or more when we can make it over the bridge. Parking is on the busy downtown strip right across from the Locks themselves and is also meter parking but do not let this discourage you. Wife without question gets the whitefish Reuben consistently as will I but the Walleye, Whitefish, Perch platter is hard to pass on. The food you receive the pricing is more than fair. My only concern I have had was the last time the men's bathroom desperately needed remodeling or something done to remove the order. I'm still 5 staring this all day and every day but the establishment is going to have to address sooner than later.

I had the Cajun whitefish with salad and sweet potato fries. The fish was a bit oily, would recommend ordering with a light oil but the sweet potato fries were spot on delicious. My daughter had a burger and fries which she thoroughly enjoyed, the fries were crunchy and salty on the outside and soft in the middle. Would definitely recommend stopping by to try some standard American fare.

All of it was fairly good, though we could have used some salt on the table particularly for the meat in the grilled cheese as it lacked some flavour.

When they have great people working and volunteering to make the club a wonderful place for their community. And when the food they serve is truly worth the trip, regardless of the destination. The walleye at the Elks is worthy of a trip regardless of everything else. After time in Hawaii, Miami, North Carolina, and San Francisco I have had some great fish; today I'm adding Sault Ste Marie's Elks Club (552) to my list of great fish places. The people working are committed to the club. And YES, the club was open to the public for dinner. Service was outstanding and many people are regulars / know each other which adds to the charm of the club - definitely small town in all the best ways. Cold beer at the bar, great fish (walleye), good fries and above average slaw made this a meal worth sharing. Friendly people serving, and checking on your service as well as the meal, even though they weren't our server but because they sincerely, genuinely care about us as customers is really unique and nice! Parking is easy. The view of the waterway is exceptional. The bar is old school. And a lot of fun. Yes, they have ship shots. You don't have to be a member of the Elks, but maybe it is something you should consider. Regardless, check out the Elks Club when it is open to the public, and ENJOY yourself!!!

Well apparently they have changed hands and things were different this year. The service was still great, same ambiance, however they have drastically cut back on the salad bar selections, no hard boiled eggs, no cakes, no puddings (the tapioca use to be great! - now gone). No more home fried potatoes. The wings were just okay as were the ribs, the chicken tenders were very large and tough. Root beer was good but no free refills. While the place seemed to have gotten a well deserved cleaning the mediocre food will simply result in our not returning in the future. I would encourage you to give it a try, maybe I'm just stuck in the past but the items mentioned above kept us coming back each year.
