Planted elephant garlic back in February and now have 3 foot high
plants that have put out flower stalks. Does that mean it's time to
harvest them?


Cut off the flower stalks and eat them. Now. That will put more energy
into the bulbs, which is what you want.
Harvest like hardneck garlic (which it resembles, but isn't really), when
about half the leaves have turned brown.

Ok, but how do I use the flower stalks, just chop them up for salad?
