Eleven Restaurant & Lounge

At Eleven Restaurant and Lounge, we pride ourselves on providing the best dining experience in town. Our establishment is more than just a steakhouse; it's a place where fine food, elegant atmosphere, and warm hospitality come together. Nestled in the heart of Williston, North Dakota, we invite you to experience our culinary delights in an architecturally historic environment.

Our story began in 1918 when the building was constructed as the home of the Elk National Foundation Lodge #1214. This handsome lodge was home to the Elks until the late 1980s when the group relocated. The building was then purchased and completely remodeled and re-purposed. An addition was built to include a full commercial kitchen, dining room, bar, and dance floor. Over the years, the building was used to occasionally host events such as wedding receptions and proms.

In 2011, the current owners purchased the property with a vision to remodel the building into upscale suite-style rooms and apartments along with an upscale restaurant. Efforts were made to keep as much originality to the building as possible while adding modern touches throughout the space. The Williston boutique hotel and Eleven Restaurant and Lounge began operating in August of 2012.

The restaurant was named Eleven as homage to a tradition at the Elk's Lodge #1214. The upper members' meeting room housed a large clock that was stuck at 11 o'clock. At 11 o'clock, the brethren took a shot to salute members that had passed on. And because the clock is stuck at 11, it was appropriate to take a shot at any time. The clock was removed from the upper meeting room and incorporated into the bar of the remodeled restaurant area.
