Me and my wife met my daughter for lunch. We were in a bit of a rush. The weight staff in the kitchen did a great job of getting us in and out while serving us delicious food. Good mentally tell that all the sauces are homemade, including the ranch dressing which was the best one I've had in South Florida. Great lunch specials. We got burgers chicken egg rolls and smashed broccoli all were delicious and cooked with care. Large bar area would love to come back at night to try the cocktails. Some people were trying a blueberry lemon drop. They said it was delicious. read more

Stopped by The Vault in Pompano Beach during happy hour while I was in the area with my son before his baseball practice. We decided to try a few things and had a great time! We tried the deviled eggs, infamous Mahi Fingers, and Fortune Fries, and all three were delicious. I also tried a "Giggly Water" cocktail, Flapper's Fizz which was so good and definitely lived up to its fun name! The restaurant is on the darker side, but it really works with the 1920s speakeasy vibe and adds to the overall atmosphere. It's a fun spot for happy hour, especially if you're looking for something a little different. Plenty of parking across the street. Positiveky enjoyed our quick stop at The Vault and would come back to try more from the menu! read more

Went for a Sunday brunch to Vault and everyone in the party had a great time. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The menu was interesting as the Small Plates section had a solo and shareable option. If you go in a small group and want to try out different dishes, I would recommend the shareable option. The food was very good, but the winners were the short ribs and smash burgers. Definitely a good place to dine out for a great value read more

This was our second time dining at The Vault, and it was just as impressive as the first. I ordered the smashed burger, while my boyfriend had the blackened chicken pasta. Both dishes were fantastic, but the burger truly stood out--it was hands down one of the best burgers we've ever had. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the raspberry iced tea, which was refreshing and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, creating a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Great food, great drinks, and great service--we'll definitely be back! read more

Great spot for dinner with an eclectic menu. The decor is speak easy and the building is an old bank. The history of the restaurant is on the menu and the original vault is pretty cool to see in person. The service was wonderful. Everyone was very personable and super friendly. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend trying whatever sounds good as it was all wonderful. The highlights were the wings, they were so flavorful and fell off the bone and the short rib egg rolls. The gravy dip sauce was a must have. The drinks were well made and a nice variety to choose from. read more

The Vault is one of Pompano Beach's most unique dining spots -- a beautifully restored historic bank turned into a stylish restaurant with incredible food. We came for HH before it got too busy. We loved everything from the seafood gumbo, grilled shrimp, crispy smashed broccoli, to the shrimp cakes, award-winning smashburger, and the perfectly crafted Chocolate Old Fashioned. The seafood dishes were fresh and flavorful, and the bread pudding was the perfect finish. I also appreciate that they have 2 options for small plates: shareable or solo. I can try a bunch of things this way. Service from Gilberto was warm and attentive. A must‑visit in Old Town for great food, great cocktails, and a true sense of local history. read more

Friday night crowd. Service was excellent. Sat at the bar and only ordered appetizers. The short ribs egg rolls were stuffed. The seasoning kind of threw it off mark. The brazen hot honey tips were dry very tough to eat. The Rangoons was probably the best of the 3. Will try other items next time. read more

Amazing! I was looking for a place to grab a quick dinner with friends and the menu looked like it had a good variety. When we arrived we were seated promptly. This was Sunday evening around 6pm. I imagine at other times there would be a wait because it was not a very large restaurant. The building has cool architecture and a unique story described on the menu. All of their appetizers come in two sizes, small and large, so they are great for sharing. We started with the smashed broccoli which was made with cheese and breadcrumbs and served with ranch dressing. For my meal, I had the smash burger which was flavorful. My husband had the King of the Glades chicken parm sandwich with added ricotta and he said it was delicious. We also got some deviled eggs and mac and cheese for the table. Every item was served, fast, fresh, and flavorful. We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures! However I did get a picture of the most important thing, dessert! The bread pudding was the best ever and served warm. It was a huge portion and we got it with a side of ice cream. I would most definitely go back to the Vault for dinner and drinks. read more

It has nice atmosphere and it's easy to have a conversation. There is Free parking next to the restaurant. There is a large bar. Staff was great. The menu is a mix of small and large plates. Everything tasted fresh. The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. The short rib was tender and not fatty. It was served over delicious potatoes. The bacon wrapped green beans with balsamic were also delicious. The smashed broccoli was more like a pancake made with Parmesan cheese. I didn't see any broccoli in my portion of the dish. I wouldn't order this again The wings were good, but there was nothing unique about them. The espresso martini was served in a beautiful glass. It wasn't filled to the top. It was not a creamy martini. The warm bread pudding for $8 was delicious. I do wish it was served a la mode. They comped my dessert since it was my birthday. It would have been nice if they added a candle to it since they knew it was my birthday. The restaurant seemed like it should have cloth napkins instead of paper. read more

The Vault lives up to its name, a hidden treasure located in the historical First Bank building. I consider myself an amateur historian and knowing the historical significance of the Vault building added charm to the dinner experience. The restaurant is cozy and most patrons were huddled by the bar area which added to the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The service at the Vault is great! The staff take pride in the food and their enthusiasm to provide great service shines through. I stared with the Bees Knees cocktail which I would describe as having a spicy sugar cane taste as the hot honey and spiciness is alway present. The Flapper's Fizz gin IMHO is the perfect summer cocktail, a berry delight that is also super refreshing. For dinner I went with the award winning First Bank Smash Burger the burger was perfect, gruyere, caramelized onions, mushrooms and a burger that was cooked to perfection. I ended the meal with the Pineapple Upside down cake which was also stellar the warm spices used in the cake accented the moistness of the cake perfectly. The Vault is open and you don't need a key to get in. The Vault Restaurant is one of those hidden special restaurants in Pompano Beach that revitalizes the community. All patrons would agree that The Vault is a special restaurant that has an added element of historical charm. I hope you enjoy Vault too! read more

Terrific speakeasy ambiance in a VERY cool district of downtown Pompano. Service and food were also excellent. Ask about outdoor seating...it's sort of out back across a small alleyway 5 star ambience: inside the main building, it still has a vague bank building vibe and a cool speakeasy bar theme. Outside there's a neat covered seating area behind the main building. This part of Pompano is a community redevelopment district with great street art and lots of free bands etc on most weekends. Parking is also free...perfect for cheapskate Joe. 5 star service: our server was amazingly nice. He even brought over the owner. My two friends arrived a little early and they even gave them a bit of a tour. 5 star food: I had something called the Outlaw Bowl ( the former bank on the same spot was robbed, there's a fun story on the back of the menu). Outlaw Bowl is sort of a teriyaki chicken stir fry with coconut rice...amazingly good and highly recommended read more

Greeted and immediately seated. Cool little restaurant off of Dixie Highway in Old Town pompano Beach. It used to be a back (the original vault is in display) Hubby got. Short ribs Mac n cheese (he said it was ready good) I got some kind of chicken veggie and rice bowl to absolutely die for! White coconut rice next to perfectly sized cubed chicken, broccoli, walnuts, red pepper, onion, drizzled with honey and some other magic flavors that are yelling at me to eat more, even though I'm stuffed. The service was great, the prices were reasonable. (Did not get dessert) read more

So we decided to scurry on up to Pompano Beach for an adventure and decided to do lunch at The Vault. I'm told that it's an old bank building and found it to be open and bright. There's a busy bar and the tables are in the front, adjacent to the bar and in the back. Our four top was too close to the very noisy kitchen, which the day we were there, seemed to have a few loud mishaps that were jarring. Other than that, service was hit and miss but we weren't in a hurry. To the food: three out of four of us ordered the well reviewed smash burgers. Not a complaint from anyone. Very good they reported. The accompanying french fried potatoes got mixed reviews. Fresh cut and covered in some sort of whatever, we thought that they would be better plain. Me being the outlier, I chose the mahi plate which came with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The fish was prepared perfectly, moist and delicious. The sides were okay. About that broccoli: The Vault does love it. There was broccoli cheddar soup, a smashed broccoli cheese appetizer and the only side dish was...broccoli! I did notice that the bar was packed on the day we went (Saturday). Day drinkers having fun. We had a nice leisurely lunch at The Vault. read more

The Vault in Pompano leans into its name with a cool, historic-inspired atmosphere that actually feels intentional, not gimmicky. It has that old-meets-modern vibe that makes it stand out right away. The food definitely holds up to the setting. The chicken wings were the highlight fall-off-the-bone tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Easily some of the better wings I've had. The egg rolls were crispy with a rich filling, and the mac and cheese was creamy and satisfying without being too heavy. Drinks were well-made, and the overall experience felt polished but still relaxed. It's one of those spots where the ambiance and food actually match, which is rarer than it should be. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I always go there for their lunch and it's a small menu but it's only $10 and worth it. I've had most of the menu items on there between the chicken sandwich, Laura croissant, and smash burger all of them are delicious. The decor is very 20s and I love the vibe especially sitting in the back where it's a bit darker. With the cute little lights. All the servers are very nice and even rush our food a little bit more because we are always in our work uniform. If I had to pick a favorite so far it would be the Laura Croissant. read more

On Monday, 2/9/26, my husband and I went to celebrate his birthday at the Vault. We arrived at 5:30 and able to choose a table. Our server, Reece, was welcoming and helpful with menu suggestions. I ordered a HH cocktail. Flapper's Fizz which was light and tasty. We both ordered the Braised Short Ribs with potatoes and gravy. It was Amazing!! The meat was so tender no knife was needed and perfect spices for a delicious meal!! Very good choice. By 6:00 pm it became busy, For dessert we split a banana pudding dish and enjoyed it thoroughly. The vibe here is a Speak Easy theme. Thank you to Reece for being attentive, cheerful, and helpful. We will return ! read more

I had a lunch date with my husband last week and sat at the bar. The service was very good considering that the bar tender was also the server for the whole restaurant and the food runner. He definitely kept busy when the restaurant filled up. The lunch menu for $10 is probably the best option for price and food quantity. Most people took advantage of the burger special. We opted to get a little more bang for our experience since we had never been here before. We order a bunch of appetizers or what they call small plates which were also very small portions. The menu has two prices, one for a very small portion and the larger price for a double portion which would serve two people. We started with the Buffalo Chicken Egg rolls which were my favorite. The outside was crispy and the inside was creamy. We had asked for both the ranch and blue cheese dipping sauce on the side but they only brought us the ranch. The Meatball was no bueno, One meatball was the size of a golf ball and it was cold in the center and needed to be sent back. The Mahi fingers were well cooked but we asked for them to be blackened but they were mostly grilled. The deviled eggs were very good and the small portion is shareable. The Cheesy smashed Broccoli was good but I was hoping for more broccoli for the price. Most everything we thought that the portion size was too small for the prices outside of Happy Hour. They do offer a menu with Happy Hour options after 4pm which might be a better time to dine here. read more

I thought I had already left a review for here! It was very good experience with delicious food and I absolutely love the old-timey black and white videos playing on the TVs. The food is really good and I love that they do tapas. You can get plates and share them. That's what I did with my friend. We sat at the bar and indulged in many apps and specialty cocktails. Bathroom was clean and there is ample free parking outside. I already went back a second time! read more

Had a late birthday brunch link up here and it was a lovely experience. My friend and I indulged in the wings, hot honey bacon bites, bootleggers mac and cheese, krab Rangoon and the burger. Everything was more than decent, bacon could have been a bit crisper for my taste but it was good. Burger was the absolute star as it was smash patty style with the perfect crisp edges and simply dressed. They made me an ok Kir Royale by request. The staff is warm and excited to share the history of the building and business name. Blessed me with a yummy and moist chocolate cake slice as a bday treat! They have various events throughout the week and love locals. We went around 3p on a Sunday and it was very quiet until about 4:30 when early dinner guests arrived. I enjoyed the experience and recommended it if in the area! read more

And away we go. Had dinner on Friday night 4/25. What a culinary delight here. Especially that their menu has tapas style items for a single person or as a shareable. Such a great selection of items and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Service was great as well. Ambiance was cool. This area of old town in Pompano Beach is getting good. We will be repeats here. Kudos to the owner/s. They have a great thing going here. The buttermilk fried pickles were the best we've had anywhere. The wings were nice & crispy with a delicious sweet (but not too sweet) & tangy sauce. The shrimp cakes were so fresh & filed with nice large chunks of shrimp with onions & peppers. The crab Rangoon's were totally amazing. Little pockets of joy filled with just the right amount of cream cheese & crab meat. The chocolate cake was nice & dense. So good. Could have used a 2nd scoop of ice cream but it was great. read more

Came with my ladies group. It was a large group & a bit overwhelming for the server. I will start by saying that she needed help. The restaurant is very small & we pretty much took over most of it. Now- for the food. This was certainly the Highlight of our experience. Once we got the food, everyone loved everything. The menu has small & large plates. I ordered the green beans wrapped in bacon with balsamic. Very yummy!!! Then I had the Seafood Cocktail. Reminded me of Ceviche. Also delicious. Served with wontons like triangles. I would have preferred lettuce but was ok with that. Saving the best for last- The Pineapple Upside Cake with ice cream! Served warm - Wow- I was blown away- so good!!! This restaurant is new & I will definitely give them another chance. The food is definitely worth coming back for. There is also an outdoor patio that I would love to check out. read more

We went to The Vault last Thursday night for happy hour. We live in Pompano and this is truly a hidden gem. The appetizer menu is diverse and the drinks were great. We stayed for dinner and ate it at the bar. We had Chicken Wings, Egg Rolls and 2 salads from the Happy Hour menu. We were actually pretty full after the happy hour appetizers - but we had come to The Vault especially for the Smash Burger. My husband has decided that he is on a quest for the best Smash Burger. We ordered their Vault Special Smash Burger. It came out perfectly cooked with fantastic had cut wedge French fries. The fries alone were worth the $$, it is very difficult to hand cut wedges correct. They were hot, crispy without being greasy with a perfect snap and a soft fluffy interior. They know what they are doing in their kitchen. We will be back and have added this to our favorite list. read more

Went there to try it out on a Friday night. Outstanding staff, service and food. Definitely a hidden neighborhood gem!

5/5 - Incredible Dining Experience at The Vault! I had one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time at The Vault in Pompano Beach. From the moment I sat down, everything was spot-on. I ordered the Vault Wings and they were absolutely perfect--crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The bruschetta was also outstanding, with the perfect combo of warm, toasted bread topped with cool, fresh tomatoes. Simple but unforgettable. Our server, Gilberto, was phenomenal. He's incredibly well-educated on the menu, attentive, genuinely kind, and truly great at his job. On top of that, Manager Rich stopped by twice to check in, which made the experience feel even more personal and cared for. At the bar, GREY crafted his signature Crème Bru-Grey Martini--one of the best cocktails I've had. He's as funny as he is talented behind the bar, which made the whole atmosphere even better. Even the kitchen staff went above and beyond, bringing out each dish and checking in after every bite. That level of service is rare these days and really stood out. I'll definitely be coming back regularly. Highly recommend The Vault for amazing food, service, and overall experience! read more
