At Elks Lodge 2167 on Ramapo Valley Road, the handshake at the door is real and the food at the table is even better. Guests who came for a Father's Day steak dinner left raving about the quality of the meal and the warmth of the people who cooked and served it. That combination, genuine hospitality backed by genuine effort, is what keeps this lodge rated 4.8 out of 5 across dozens of reviews.

The lodge serves Oakland, NJ and the surrounding Ramapo Valley communities as both a fraternal organization and a gathering place. Memorial services, holiday dinners, and private events all find a home here in clean, comfortable surroundings staffed by people who actually care how the evening goes. One member put it plainly: "just ask and ye shall receive."

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been one of America's oldest charitable fraternal organizations since 1868, and Lodge 2167 carries that tradition forward with local roots and a doors-open attitude. Whether you are a longtime member or someone attending your first event as a guest, you will find a room full of people who already feel like neighbors.

What We Offer

Lodge 2167 offers a full calendar of member events and community gatherings throughout the year. Signature dinners like the popular Father's Day steak dinner draw crowds from across the valley and showcase the kitchen's ability to feed a room well. The facility is also available for private events including memorial services, celebrations, and organizational meetings, with food accommodations that members describe as convenient and excellent.

Beyond the dining room, the lodge supports charitable programs at the local, state, and national level through the Elks National Foundation. Members participate in youth initiatives, veteran support programs, and scholarship opportunities that put real dollars back into the Oakland community. Membership itself opens the door to a network of over 2,000 lodges nationwide, making this Ramapo Valley address a home base with far-reaching connections.

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.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
