Modern elegance - Edit
This spot has awesome brunch options! The biscuits and gravy were so good that my partner and I couldn't deny the opportunity for an pre-noon cake sampling. Order here, eat here, enjoy!

Excellent! - Edit
This is my new favorite vegan restaurant. Good choices on the menu. Service was prompt and our waiter was very attentive. I ordered the chiken Caesar wrap with loaded fries on the side. My son ordered the hot Chiken wings. The food was delivered with a nice presentation and very flavorful. You can eat in or at a table outside. We opted for outside - it was a great atmosphere. Unfortunately the picture of the wings didn’t turn out so only posting one photo.

What a great restaurant!! The food was delicious, the decor was super cute and the wait staff was excellent.
Read moreWe went with my non vegan parents and they didn't even realize the food was vegan.
Highly recommend the Smash Burger! The Buffalo Chicken Burger was good but not spicy enough - could put a little more kick in it.
Pros: All vegan menu, Great service, Helpful staff
Cons: Parking, Little too noisy with the music

Amazing nachos! - Edit
Most of the food we had was quite good. The nachos were everything you'd want, especially the cashew queso. I had the reuben which was great but could have had more of that vinegary tang you want from that kind of sandwich. My partner had the Nashville chicken sandwich which had good flavours, but a bit of a soy overload as the chicken was very thick and a bit overpowering. The service and ambiance were great and we felt very comfortable.

Literally the best - Edit
Everything here is absolutely delicious. I went for dinner and lunch, two different atmospheres but equally satisfying. Not only is the food devine, the portions are huge and the alcohol selection is also quality. This place is amazing but it does fill up quick so consider arriving close to opening or making a reservation.

Excellent!!! - Edit
Finally got a chance to try out Element. Went for Sunday brunch to celebrate hubby and daughter's birthday. It was fantastic. I caught myself thinking I can't order the Irish Coffee because it has Bailey's. Silly me!! Everything is vegan, and delicious. We had a mix of things at the table, Chick'n & Waffles, Smashed Burger, a couple of different Chick'n & Biscuit. everyone at the table gave a strong 2 thumbs up!! Staff was great, kept coming to make sure all was good! We did make reservations ahead of time so that was comforting to be able to do.

Super tasty with coole atmosphere - Edit
We really liked the food selection and also that some traditional dishes are available as vegan versions.
Read moreI think the opening times here are incorrect currently.
We went for the Sunday brunch.
Food was very tasty but we thought everything was too salty. Next time we will go for dinner or drinks in the evening.
Cool location and good drink selection.
Pros: All vegan, Traditional pub and southern food, Very friendly service
Cons: Too salty

Excellent - Edit
I am basically vegan , I took two meat eaters and we loved the food and service .
Read moreThe meat eaters said they would absolutely go back with or without me .
The loaded fries were fabulous, the chicken n biscuit was amazing !
And the the “cheese” with the chips was so good I thought I was eating cheese .
We were too full for dessert . Next time I might start with the dessert.
Oh and the cocktails were were fabulous.
Pros: We ate outside , Entirely Vegan
Cons: There were no cons

AMAZING - Edit
The chick’n is to die for! The texture is so good and I truly missed this type of breading. Also as a warning: the portions are so filling! The honee mustard is really good too, a bit runny but it tastes amazing.
Read moreI also got the butterfly effect cocktail which was delicious!
Pros: totally vegan!

Exceptional vegan pub fare! - Edit
What a gem of a restaurant! I had read a review of it before coming to Raleigh for the first time ever and it happened to be less than a block away from my hotel. From the moment I arrived I was met with friendly, welcoming and fun staff. I sat at the bar and had a delicious Pineapple Pepperita. The server steered me in a great direction for ordering as did the delightful gal, also dining solo, along the bar from me. If I lived here I’d be at Element regularly.

Good pub food - Edit
For pub food it’s quite good but ultimately it’s still pub food. As long as you’re mentally prepared for that, it’s awesome that the whole menu is plant based and they definitely make you feel better about eating a whole plate of Tatchos. I can’t say I was blown away but the service is amazing and everyone is so nice! The experience was worth it.

Amazing plant based gastropub - Edit
Great spot right downtown, we ordered the Vegan BBQ sandwich, kale Caesar wrap and wings. The fries are seasoned with a malt vinegar that’s to die for as well as the blue cheez. Good portion size for the price and all around I would highly recommend giving it a visit. Outdoor seating for dogs as well
Read moreThe hours on here are wrong, they are as follows;
Sunday-Monday closed
Tuesday-Thursday lunch 11-2, dinner 4-9
Friday-Saturday lunch 11-2, dinner 4-10
Pros: 100% plant based, Great atmosphere, Lots of variety
