My girlfriend and I came to Elements Gastropub for Valentine’s Day and had an absolute ball! From the moment we sat down, the energy was warm, fun, and welcoming — the perfect vibe for a date night.
Brook was our phenomenal waitress and truly made the experience exceptional. She was attentive without hovering, personable, and had such a genuine, positive presence. She made us feel taken care of and added to the overall joy of the evening.
The food was fantastic across the board. The steak was cooked perfectly, the patty melt was flavorful and satisfying, the boneless wings were seasoned just right, and the fries were the perfect crispy complement. Everything came out hot and fresh.
We left full, happy, and already looking forward to coming back!

Got the Voodoo fries, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and the Carolina BBQ burger. All were phenomenal. Would absolutely eat here again. The service was incredibly fast. We had our voodoo fries within 3 minutes of ordering them. The hot chicken was actually a bit spicy and so flavorful. I didn’t try the BBQ burger but my friend ate the entire thing and said it was delicious. Highly highly recommend, and I look forward to their valentines day dinner.

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.

I was searching for a well-known plant-based restaurant in Raleigh, and Element Gastropub instantly caught my attention. My wife and I decided to stop by for lunch, and it turned out to be such a great choice! We ordered the Nashville Hot “Chicken” Burger served with crispy fries, as well as the Smash Burger with coleslaw. Both dishes were packed with flavor and had that satisfying, hearty feel you’d expect from traditional burgers. The biggest surprise? They were completely vegan! The Nashville Hot Burger especially stood out for me—it had just the right kick of spice and such an amazing texture that you’d never guess it was plant-based.
The restaurant itself is located conveniently in the heart of downtown Raleigh, making it a perfect spot to stop by whether you’re out exploring or simply looking for a solid place to enjoy a meal. The atmosphere is modern, stylish, and comfortable, creating a welcoming vibe for both casual dining and special outings. On top of that, the staff was genuinely friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home.
Overall, Element Gastropub exceeded my expectations, and I’m already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend for anyone curious about plant-based dining!

Honestly, such an amazing atmosphere! Staff are knowledgeable, food is delicious and the environment is very welcoming to everyone! If you get a chance to stop by this local gym in Raleigh, North Carolina, it will definitely be a treat that lasts a lifetime. ❤️

This was my very first time at an all-vegan restaurant, and it was such a refreshing experience not having to substitute or make special requests. The menu was full of options that felt both creative and comforting.
I ordered the vegan ribeye out of curiosity (and so the whole table could try it). It came with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a rich bourbon mushroom gravy. To the untrained eye, you couldn’t tell it wasn’t a traditional steak, but honestly, even a devoted carnivore might not feel the need to swap it out—the flavor and portion were spot on.
We tried a variety of dishes:
• Buffalo wings – amazing, tasted just like boneless wings.
• Onion rings – perfectly crispy.
• Voodoo chili fries – delicious and packed with flavor.
• Caesar wrap & Element burger – both great choices.
• Vegan shrimp – flavor was good, but the texture didn’t quite match the real thing.
• Malt vinegar fries – so yummy.
• Mac n’ cheese – the only dish that missed the mark; the flavor just wasn’t there.
For dessert, we celebrated my birthday with a candle on the ginger cake (spicy and fun!) and the peanut butter cheesecake, which was absolute heaven—we all fought over bites of that one.
From the drink menu, I ordered the Pineapple Express, which tasted just like fresh pineapple juice. The décor was cool, the vibe was awesome, and the whole evening felt special.
Shoutout to Victoria
Our waitress, Victoria, deserves a 10/10. She’s been vegan for 10 years, started as a customer before becoming an employee, and is the only vegan in her family—which makes her dedication even more inspiring. Her boyfriend is now vegan too, and you can tell she truly believes in what she’s sharing. Her recommendations carried real weight, and her passion for a cruelty-free lifestyle made our first visit that much more enjoyable.
✅ Final Thoughts
I highly recommend this restaurant for:
• Vegetarians curious about going all-in.
• Vegans tired of carefully curating meals at non-vegan spots.
• Anyone worried about taste but open to trying something new.
• Friends and families with mixed diets—this place might just change minds and bring them over to the “dark side” (which is really the side of love, light, and kindness).

Lunch with Mom at @elementgastropub Downtown Raleigh, NC
My mom supporting me, means everything to me!!!
We ordered the Sweet Chili Sauce wings with house ranch for our appetizer! Mom loved those! ☺️
I ordered the Carolina BBQ Sandwich which was smoked vegan BBQ tossed in hybrid eastern- Western style sauce (whatever that means lol), creamy coleslaw on a Brioche bun with a side Kale Caesar Salad.
Mom ordered the Philly Cheese steak which was chopped seitan “steak”, marinated mushrooms, house made cheese, peppers, onions served on a soft hoagie roll. It also came with my favorite chips by Caroline Kettle chips @carolinakettle! So, glad they support local! Mom didn’t really care for the cheese steak. I tried it as well & it wasn’t my favorite. But, we had an amazing time for lunch on this beautiful day!
oh, & I also had a Carolina Mule! Which was
I want to try their brunch the next time I go back home to visit!

Dakota is a fantastic bar manager/ bartender and you can tell she loves what she does. She made me an off-menu s’mores old fashioned with a s’mores simple syrup and dark chocolate bitters that was next level. Only had drinks here, but they were all fantastic. Also try the Pineapple Pepperita as it was equally delicious if you like a little heat with your drinks.
