About The Elk

The Elk offers a reliable dining experience with a clean and well-spaced atmosphere that feels more like a cafe. The service is amazing, and while the food is generally good, there are some variations in quality. The Elk steak and Elk burger were noted as slightly plain and dry, but fries received positive remarks. Recently, the restaurant has become more like a food court with several food services in one common area. There is a dedicated pizza oven and bread oven, a Middle Eastern counter for shwarma, kebabs, and donair, as well as a burger menu and an Italian menu with many pastas. Cedar Bakery is also on site, offering treats and ice cream.

One customer chose the chicken kebab platter with spicy rice, which came with hummus, garlic sauce, salad, two large kebabs, and fresh pita bread. It was described as good, with soft and warm bread, hot and juicy chicken, and spicy rice—though a preference for white rice was noted for next time. The atmosphere is utilitarian but clean, with just enough for a pleasant meal. Several pizzas and shwarma dishes looked appealing, and portions are very substantial, enough to share if combined with an appetizer or dessert.

The Elk is also known for its bubble tea slushies, with dairy-free almond milk options available. One customer enjoyed a tropical flavor slush with boba and lychee jelly, calling it a must-try. A recent diner praised the Elk steak, which was cooked perfectly medium rare with flavorful potatoes, and is looking forward to trying chicken parm for lunch. Overall, the restaurant caters to a variety of tastes and offers a friendly, dependable dining experience suitable for families and visitors alike.
