Element Gastropub

Awesome atmosphere and food. Will return.

Food comes quickly after ordering. The fries are amazing, and the "Hunny Mustard" should be served with a straw.

A new vegan restaurant in Raleigh, this is definitely worth visiting. We were visiting family and wanted to have a new and different eating experience. This pub hit the mark!!. Everything was excellent, including our chat with the owners. They were busy on a Saturday night but we didn't have to wait on our outdoor table. Located in the downtown area, it's near hotels and the convention center. Our party was mixed ( omnivores and vegetarians) and no one left disappointed. We'll be back

Great experience and loved the food! Very delicious vegan food.

Vegan bar food is a great restaurant concept, and the food was quite good. Service was excellent too. I definitely recommend this spot!

(Though just one heads-up: The cucumber salad is much more like a pickle salad.)

Fantastic affordable pub food for vegans and those interested in plant-based food options. Tater Tots and buffalo wing appetizers were excellent. Been missing wings since going vegan a year ago, and theirs with vegan blue cheese dip definitely hit the spot! Chick'n sandwiches were a hit, too. I had the Fobster Roll - very good for those with a craving! Everything was great. Cool, lively environment, helpful staff, great cocktails and solid beer list. Highly recommend.

As a non-vegan and non-vegetarian, I was hesitant about trying Element. However, their food is amazing! The totachos are spicy and delicious! I had the chipotle "chicken" sandwich which had some nice heat on the "chicken" tempered by some delicious guacamole. All in all, HIGHLY recommend!

Phenomenal food and the spicy pineapple margarita was delicious!! It was busy, but we received good service (even the owner was involved!). Will 100% come back and have been recommending it to friends left and right.

I took my girlfriend who is vegetarian here for her birthday and she was delighted! The tots and the Smash burger were excellent!

Great outside area, awesome food and fantastic service!

Overall, the food was great. Wings were tasty but the portion seemed small for the price.
The music was a bit too loud to be able to easily have a conversation.

EVERYTHING WAS FANTASTIC! Awesome vegan food and great cocktails/beers on draft! Would love to see a future takeout option 💚

It was my first time eating here and such a great experience! The Atmosphere, food and service was awesome!

This is my second visit to Element Gastropub. I am SO HAPPY there is a 100% plant-based restaurant available! The food is delicious (even if you are not vegan, you'll love it)!
The restaurant is nicely decorated. It would be nice if the great music they play inside is available for outdoor diners but there could be an ordinance against this. Great services, great food. Go! You won't be disappointed!

We didn’t get the best table (we were sat at a bar attached to the wall) even though we had a reservation. Overall I loved the food and drinks. It’s definitely my first pick for going out. The food is worth the price but be prepared to spend more than $50 for a meal and drink. I plan on going back soon!

Great restaurant! Would love to see some burger sliders as appetizers and some happy hour specials in the future.

We celebrated graduation by having dinner at The Element and had the best time! The food was outstanding, and the service was excellent. The location is awesome and the place is beautifully decorated. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. They made us feel so special. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!!

I can’t wait to go back! The food exceeded my expectations and the staff was super friendly.

Our second trip and will not be our last.

Staff was really friendly and food was delicious. Would definitely recommend making reservations on the weekends!

Very impressive and great atmosphere. Beautiful location and incredibly friendly staff. Food was very good and the portions were rather large. LOVE LOVE LOVE plant based eating. Will definitely be back.

The drinks really need some recipe changes, they were all just ok and we had almost all of them. The food was the same. The bbq nachos were the best thing we had from the 9 things we ordered. Just some small tweaks to the menu and drink items and they could crush it.

Food was delicious. BBQ nachos were great, and filling. Nashville spicy chicken sandwich was amazing. Beer battered fries were so good. It’s so hard to find an all vegan restaurant, and this one is one of the best I’ve ever been to. Staff was friendly and attentive. Owner chatted with us and talked about some of the food. Great experience.

Awesome vegan food. Our server John was super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We sat outside and loved it. Good beer and great food.

Great food! You'd never know that many of the dishes are plant based.

Great new vegan location in downtown Raleigh. Opened on May 4th with limited menu, however food and service was spot on.

Overall excellent experience! We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The restaurant has a super cool vibe and I loved the decor. Our waiter was great and service was excellent. Our food was hot and came out quickly! The owner came around to every table to check on guests. My boyfriend ordered the crispy chik’n sandwich and mentioned to the owner that the piece of chik’n seemed a little thin. The owner said that it was definitely too thin and gave us two hot and juicy chik’n tenders on the house! We really appreciated the kindness and generosity! Definitely get the chik’n in any form, you can’t tell the difference between that and real chicken! We also ordered the totchos which were super flavorful and the Carolina bbq sandwich which tasted just like a class BBQ sandwich. I highly recommend Element for plant based and meat eaters alike! We will be back to try even more delicious plant based meals!

I had the crispy "chicken" sandwich and it was great. Very good bun and the breading was tasty. The potato tots had a seasoning that was a little spicy for my taste but I have a low tolerance to "hot" spices. We also had the pulled barbacue sandwich was very good.

Great food and service but it was raining and they need better coverage for outdoor dining.

Awesome service and delicious food! I had the ‘lobster’ roll- super tasty and the bread was toasted perfectly. Salt and vinegar fries delicious too. Loved the cucumber salad though the portion was too large for how vinegary it was (I had to share with others). Great selection of items on tap, including hard seltzer. We were outdoors and it’s so nice to not sit by a parking lot or busy street - their patio is well set back from Fayetteville St.

Amazing and relaxing

Very good food, cocktails and service. Love having a new vegan restaurant in Raleigh.

The food was incredible. Great drinks too. Will definitely go back.

The food was amazing. I took my friend who's never had plant based foods, and she was impressed of how good the food was. I'm definitely be coming back soon.

Not a big fan of plant based however couldn't tell the difference everything was so good. Made me a believer. Service was awesome not rushed very good paced.
Look forward to going back

We both had the element "Hamburger" which was both new to us and really matched the taste of a real meat burger. The french fries are absolutely fabulous, don't leave without having them! Service by Malcolm was excellent. The restaurant is right on the plaza so it almost has a european ambience. Recommend it highly. Sylvia & Ned

This was probably the best plant based food I’ve ever had. It tasted all homemade and fresh and was delicious!!! I am definitely going back. Prices were really good for quality vegan food and the restaurant is great for nice dates or just casual get togethers! Loved it!

Great food, excellent attentive service, owner dropped by to check in. Very quick service, delicious food.

Great atmosphere and wonderful food. So excited to have a great new plant based restaurant in downtown Raleigh!

Friendly service, great outdoor space and good food. What more could you want ?
