Element Gastropub has quickly become my go-to spot in Raleigh. The food is next level — fresh, creative, and 100% plant-based without sacrificing flavor. The BLT Burger with vegan bacon was unreal, and the seasonal cocktails were crafted to perfection. The vibe is exactly what you want downtown: a stylish patio that gives you that city energy, and a cozy inside that’s perfect for date night or catching up with friends. The staff made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to accommodate us during a busy night. Hands down, one of the best dining experiences in the city. Can’t wait to come back!

Tried out Element and it did not disappoint! The drinks were amazing — especially the Kusharita, which was super smooth and so good. Our bartender Zack was awesome. He was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. … More

The Nashville Hot Chick’n is perfectly crispy and sauced. Order the Mac n cheese. I hadn’t had cheese cake (lactose intolerant) which is a favorite growing up… for decades until Elementary. Bravo! I’m stuffed. More

I came here about 3 years ago now during Dreamville Fest and I just wanna say I’m probably the reason there’s loaded fries on the menu now lol yall only had the loaded nachos back then and I asked for you guys to put it on fries instead. My waitress went and asked the cook if he could and he did it. He came out and asked how it was and of course it was GREAT! I think the rest may be history lol. Also, I remember meeting a sweet, adorable older black lady there. If I remember correctly, she said she was from Philly, a pescatarian, and she’s a regular here. I think about her and my experience at this place often in the most positive way! If yall know the lady I’m talking about, please let me know! I would like to somehow pay for her next few meals.

I am not vegan but a friend wanted to try this out. The waitress was super knowledgeable on all of the menu items. I was advised as someone with a nut allergy to not get anything fried or any of the sauces - particularly white sauces, as the milk replacement is nut milk. There was a dish I could find where no sauces had to be removed and was not fried (I prefer not to have dishes modified.) The dish was really good! Overall, if you visit here with a nut allergy, it can be accommodated, but your options will be *extremely* limited. They do the best they can for a vegan restaurant.

Michael was a very attentive and friendly server and my food was epic! I'm a Buffalo girl, and my hot scorpion "wings" with celery and "bleu cheese" really felt like home! Will definitely come back!

First time here and the food was great. Friendly staff and the waitress was fun. The Element burger was delicious. The Philly cheesesteak was good but I’ve had the original from Philly. So my expectation was already high for this sandwich. More
