A Family-Owned Restaurant with Local Roots

Howdy, friend — welcome to The Moose Knuckle Tavern, where good food, cold drinks, and friendly faces come together under one roof. Located right off Historic Route 66 inside the Elk City KOA Campground, our tavern isn’t just another stop on the map — it’s a homegrown spot where locals and travelers gather to share stories, laughter, and a taste of true Oklahoma hospitality.

What started as a small idea — a cozy tavern that serves great meals and even better company — has turned into a community favorite. From breakfast burritos at sunrise to cold beers under the stars, The Moose Knuckle Tavern has become Elk City’s go-to hangout for families, campers, and road trippers alike.

We’re proud to be family-owned and locally operated, built on small-town values and the belief that a good meal shared with good people can turn any day around.

Our History and Neighborhood Roots

The story of The Moose Knuckle Tavern starts right here in western Oklahoma.

We wanted to create a space that captured everything great about our town — the friendly spirit, the open skies, the easy laughs, and the joy of gatherin’ together over a hot meal. So we built it, one table and one smile at a time.

Since our doors opened, we’ve become a part of the Elk City community. We’ve hosted travelers from all over the country, fed families after ballgames, and poured cold drinks for tired campers lookin’ for a place to relax.

And while the menu’s grown and the faces behind the bar may change from time to time, one thing never does — our love for this town and the people who make it feel like home.
