Amazing vegan food in Raleigh!! - Edit
Love this place. Have been going since it opened as often as I can. My favorite is the Elemental Burger with bacon and cheese. Their Kale Cesar salad is amazing (but spoiler it comes with romaine too). 100% vegan and they have a GF labeled as well!

Chill vibes and large menu selection without being overwhelming. Thoughtful menu and lots of local brews. Full bar available. Onion rings and kale Caesar salad are a can’t miss.

Ok - Edit
Food was ok the kale salad was great the nachos had so much vinegar in them I couldn’t eat them. our waitress was new but she was awesome brought the manager out to discuss our mushroom allergy. They were good helping identify gluten free items as well. Now the issues when we arrived for the 8 o’clock reservation we were told we had to pay $10 per person cover charge for the music (nothing indicated this when we made the reservation) it’s in appropriate to extort extra money when we just came for dinner. My son waited a long time for his onion rings they basically came after we had eaten our meal. Then we were asked if we wanted dessert at 8:45 for a 8 pm reservation. When we asked some questions about gluten our waitress told us she would check and then came back to tell us the kitchen was closed so we couldn’t get dessert. Interesting experience based on the cost and lack of wow of the food I will not return.

Nice people, food mostly good - Edit
I’ve been here a few times. The food is mostly good.
Read moreThe sweets are BAD, though. I’ve tired the cake (dry), the donut (hard as a rock), and the cookies (literally rancid tasting). They need to change to a different vendor. Or, if they make them in-house, they need to change the recipe and the baker.
I think everyone is friendly and I’ve not had bad service.

Liked it! - Edit
The buffalo wings were the best I’ve had. My club burger was a bit dry but I liked the bacon. Would return!

Love this place! - Edit
Surprised by the recent reviews of bad service. We received exceptional service on our visit! The wait staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about their products and potential allergens. I had the BBQ sandwich and my mom had the cheesesteak. Both were phenomenal! BBQ sandwich was wet from the coleslaw, but I just flipped that bad boy over. Love the patio and the out door vibes. Will return when I’m in town!

Disappointed with service - Edit
Started out great! Joking around with the server; I was SO looking forward to the chik'n pot pie...which made it that much more disappointing when it came and I couldn't eat it.
Read moreIt doesn't say ANYTHING on the menu about pepper in the pot pie. Thyme, rosemary, yes. But all you can taste is PEPPER PEPPER PEPPER!!!! I tried to cut it with sugar but it didn't help.
So I asked to send it back and they wouldn't take it, because "it's not a usual complaint." Which, and I don't apologize for the pun, left a really bad taste in my mouth. I mean what does that even mean? I literally told her I can't eat this. We were happy to pay for another dish, and did. But they should've taken it off the bill.
Then we asked for a piece of pie to go and she brought it out with the ice cream on it. Don't do that. Just tell us "it comes with ice cream, so I assume you don't want that in the box?" and LEAVE IT OFF. Duhh! So we ate the pie instead of taking it (bc we knew they wouldn't bring another piece sans ice cream!) and now my stomach hurts and I'm irritated I've paid for a meal I couldn't eat.
Bad experience, Element. Booooo on you.
Cons: Put it ON THE MENU that the pot pie is pepper pie

Amazing - Edit
Hands down, a great experience. Plenty of options and everything tastes great. Wish I was local so I could come by more often. Conveniently located in the city by hotels and other restaurants. Cute vibe. Portions were a good size, I ended up taking leftovers home. Non-vegan guest enjoyed everything as well!

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. - Edit
Really cool spot that you almost wouldn’t expect to be all vegan if you didn’t know. In fact, 2 guys walked in, sat down and left when they realized it was all plant based. Their loss, BIG TIME. Great food, cool atmosphere and super friendly staff. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. And the desert was top notch as well. Would love to come back and try more.

All pretty good - Edit
The taste of *mostly* everything was great! I got the hot honey mini chicken biscuits with home fries and the taste was there. The biscuits with chicken itself was pretty dry and there was barely any hot honey included. I asked for more and they charged me $1 extra. Just kind of stung when the sandwiches actually needed the extra dressing. The home fries tasted really good, except they could have cooked a little longer. They were pretty underdone and squishy. My butterfly effect cocktail was pretty watered down and was overall pretty bland. On a whim I ordered some choc chip cookies and they just weren’t for me. They had the wrong kind of chewy texture and just didn’t suit my palate. The umaro bacon was great! My mom got the French toast and her only critique was that the fruit that came with the toast was very tart and the compote was not sweet enough to combat the tart fruit. Service was pretty quick with friendly staff. Despite everything today, I’ll definitely be back!

I had the kale caesar wrap and it was very tasty and filling, however I think it could have used a bit more dressing. But overall it was quite nice!

One of our favorite spots! - Edit
100% vegan, large menu to choose from, friendly staff, good drinks, and excellent food. My go-to here is the Kale Caesar Salad, and I add grilled buffalo chicken to it. I love it! The most recent time we went we also tried the BBQ nachos which were also great! My fiancée usually gets one of the burgers, and the chikn sandwiches are also very good!

Great little spot - Edit
Stopped here after a friend's engagement party a couple blocks away and it really hit the spot. I was pretty full when I went in but the food was good enough that I ended up eating a second dinner.

Delighted to find this gastropub right across the street from my hotel. Saturday afternoon & the place is packed. Able to handle solo diners as well as groups of 6/8. I opted for the Ck’n Pot Pie. Yummy pastry!!
