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.

Delicious Buffalo Chick’n - Edit
The Buffalo chick’n sandwich was delicious and filling. The fries were delicious too (just wish they were served just a bit warmer)… overall super delicious!

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!!

Good options! - Edit
This restaurant has great wings and loaded fries. It has a cool atmosphere and the staff have been very attentive and friendly. We had some great hot apple cider our last visit. In my opinion, it is a bit expensive for the portions and the music is a little too loud. But otherwise, I have enjoyed it and would go back again.

Not bad, but nothing special - Edit
We had the Reuben and the buffalo chicken sandwich. They Reuben was quite flavorful. The buffalo chicken not so much - even with the added ghost pepper sauce. I wasn’t blown over by the food, and would try another place the next time I am in Raleigh. Interior of the restaurant seemed tired.

Mid - Edit
Staff and service were great. I guess we ordered the wrong thing. Had the Ruben and it just wasn’t great. My friend had the butter beans and felt the same. Tiramisu was ok. I would suggest ordering from the main main maybe ? Our orders were off the changing menu

O. M. G. 🤤 - Edit
The Autumn Steak was probably one of the best vegan meals I’ve ever had. My only complaint is that it was too small! The wings are apparently Impossible chicken but they reconstruct it into these spicy nuggets of deliciousness. And I may have snuck some gnocchi off my friend’s plate - also SO good.
Read morePros: Unbelievable flavors!, Great atmosphere, Friendly staff!

Everything is great, the pretzels especially! - Edit
This was my second visit and I will be back again. The pretzel was included with both visits and it’s great fresh, as well as a post-concert snack. It’s hard to order just because everything looks so good.

Cool vibes! - Edit
In town looking for a late night bite and was attracted to this spot from their reviews and pics. Found free street parking two blocks away (Friday night after 630p, free) We walked in and immediately asked to turn the TV to ESPN to watch WNBA finals game and they were very accommodating! We dined on delicious food and a tasty mojito while watching the game. Very friendly staff, indoor and outdoor seating in the heart of downtown Raleigh. I wondered if there was validated parking garage access during business hours? The loaded French fries weren’t as “loaded” or as large a portion as we had hoped but the cheese sauce was amazing! The bean skillet with crusty sourdough bread was a hearty delight on a chilly evening. The servers allowed us to stay past closing to watch the end of the exciting game and even cheered for our team. I will be back to try other entrees and highly recommend this place!

My non-vegan husband loved it :) - Edit
Took my very skeptical non-vegan husband there and he ordered the chunk steak and a mocktail. I had the chik’n and waffles special and a cocktail and we shared the loaded fries. My husband loved the food and even said he’d return. Mine was delicious as well.

Really good - Edit
At the suggestion of many on HappyCow, I had the patty melt and it did NOT disappoint. So good. Restaurant is in a great location within walking distance to many places in downtown Raleigh. The menu includes a fun selection of pub foods; I will definitely be back to try more. My non-vegan family enjoyed their food and a good time was had by all. Our server was great too.

Left much to be desired - Edit
We tries the Anaheim Pimiento Skillet Mac, but it wasn't great. The fries pickles were also disappointing as we couldn't taste the pickles. Unfortunately, the spicy dan dan noodles didn't meet our expectations either. Overall, we regret eating a meal here and would suggest skipping this place altogether.

Great late lunch - Edit
We stopped in on our way through town for a late 3pm lunch. The restaurant was mostly empty and service was quick. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Club with the Kale Caesar and my husband got the Element Burger. Both loved our sandwich, but I was a bit disappointed in the salad. The kale Caesar was only 1/3 kale and 2/3 romaine; it was also over dressed with way too much salad dressing. Ask for less dressing if ordering.
Read moreHad to park around the corner on the street was the weather was nice so we didn’t mind the walk. Sitting by the window allowed us to people watch.
Pros: All vegan, Many different options, Good protein options
Cons: Overdressed salad, Lack of seasonal vegetable options, Could use a vegetable focused entree
