The Friday fish fry is the crown jewel, drawing a loyal crowd week after week with golden, flaky fish that holds up against any restaurant in northeast Iowa. Sides are made with care, the salads are fresh, and the pace is quick without feeling rushed.
Beyond the dining room, Lodge 443 hosts member events, community fundraisers, and programs that put dollars directly back into Decorah families. The Elks national network funds scholarships for local students and runs dedicated outreach for veterans, and this lodge carries that work forward at the local level.
The hall is also available for private events and lodge-sponsored gatherings, giving members a home base for celebrations, meetings, and civic projects. Whether you come for the fish fry or come to get involved, 105 River St is a place that rewards showing up.
