Have you tried the Elgin Turner's "All You Can Eat" Fish Fry?
Fish Fry Fridays 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM

The Elgin Turners has long been known for their weekly fish fry. The first fish fry was served at the hall in 1939. The dinner then consisted of two pieces of perch, fries, coleslaw and a piece of bread. Elgin still continues the fish fry tradition, but now with an expanded menu and "All You Can Eat" options!

This Friday Night Fish Fry has a homemade feeling at the ELGIN TURNERS hall during Lent and throughout the year. Please join us every Friday night for our ever-popular Fish Fry. Historic Elgin Turner Hall provides a unique and casual dining atmosphere. Full service bar on site. And you’ll love the economical prices!
