Emma was so sweet. We were looking everywhere for somewhere to eat with good healthy, vegan/vegetarian options. Thankfully, they didn’t close till 9 o’clock. We were greeted with smiles. She never rushed us, had great recommendations, interacted assisted us with our order excellently. This was our second time but we will most definitely be back. A little bit pricey, but totally worth the experience. Great customer service great food excellent experience! And Sadie was sweet too!

Amazing place. Vegan for 20 years and never had “steak” with chimichurri like this. My meat eating partner was more surprised than I have ever seen. Unbelievable. *chef kiss to the chef*. Staff is friendly and informative. *shout out to Emma, Hannah, and Mia. Felt very honest and real. What an amazing spot. Seemed like being in a NY bodega of delicious sandwiches. Great place for vegans and carnivores. Absolutely awesome service and food.

Element Gastropub is hands-down one of our favorite spots in Raleigh. The Nashville Chick’n sandwich and the Nodeo burger are next-level—easily the best vegan burgers we’ve had anywhere. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between cozy and lively, making it a great hang whether it’s a chill weekday or a busy weekend. Service is always on point—Molly is amazing and somehow remembers us every time, even when the place is packed. Friendly faces, great food, and a place we keep coming back to—highly recommend!

Friendly efficient service, and incredibly delicious food at a fair price, in a charming environment. I had the steak bordelaise and the pops peanut butter cheesecake and they were both pretty mind-blowing. Kat was such a sweet, informative and helpful server!

My family and I recently dined at Element Gastropub, and we had a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a family outing. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to both adults and children. We had the wings as an app, and the bbq sauce was divine. The Caroline bbq sandwich was delicious, and I don’t know how they perfected the texture of pulled pork so well. My husband had the chicken & waffles, which were also amazing. He ordered some scorpion sauce on the side for some added heat. The service was exceptional, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout our meal. They made sure we had everything we needed and even went out of their way to make our 5-year-old daughter feel special. Overall, we had a wonderful time at Element Gastropub and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Great spot. Same people that run Marian, but this seems like the casual outfit. More of a pub food menu, but with good specials. Gnocchi pesto: 10/10 perfect flavors, pairs perfectly with the lemon salad.

Super chill spot with indoor and outdoor seating (regular and high top tables and bar seating), very friendly and helpful staff, and fully vegan menu. Alterations requests allowed. Wheelchair accessible. Carleisha was our server and super fun and helpful. Definitely want to return to try more of the menu. The restaurant had anime themed food and drinks for Animazement weekend, the katsu sando and togepi saketini were exceptional.

Had the smash burger and the nachos. They were both delicious and we honestly thought that our food wasn’t vegan, it was that hard to tell. Our server Molly gave us a rundown of the menu and was super helpful when we were deciding what we wanted. Highly recommend, I think vegans and non-vegans alike will love the choices here
