About The Moose Knuckle Tavern

A True Elk City Tavern Experience

Nestled inside the Elk City KOA Campground, The Moose Knuckle Tavern is where good food meets great company. As one of the most loved bar and grill spots in Elk City, OK, we’ve built a reputation for hearty plates, cold drinks, and friendly faces.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, rustic atmosphere that’s equal parts tavern and hometown diner. The smell of grilled burgers and wood-fired pizza fills the air, and the sound of laughter carries across the room. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a quick stop on your Route 66 adventure, you’ll find that this is the kind of place where folks stay a little longer than they planned — and come back sooner than they expected.

Family-Friendly Restaurant Atmosphere

Sure, we’ve got a tavern, but we’re also proud to be a family-friendly restaurant that welcomes everyone. Kids love our pizzas and pasta bowls, while parents can enjoy a local brew or glass of wine.

Our staff treats every guest like family — because that’s what small-town Oklahoma hospitality is all about. We’ve got plenty of space for families, friends, and travelers alike. Whether you’re gatherin’ for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Moose Knuckle Tavern is the perfect place to slow down, share a meal, and make memories.

Our Story & Local Community Roots

Like many great Route 66 stories, ours started with a simple idea: bring people together over great food and cold drinks. What began as a small grill for KOA campers has grown into one of the most popular restaurants in Elk City, serving travelers and locals alike.

We take pride in keepin’ things local — from our Made in Oklahoma brews to the ingredients we source from nearby farms and suppliers. Supporting Oklahoma businesses helps keep our community strong and adds that extra touch of homegrown flavor to every bite and sip.

We’re not just a tavern — we’re part of the Elk City story. Every guest who walks through our doors becomes part of our little Route 66 family.
