The Vault Grill - Porterville

“Can I give more than 5 stars” review by my boyfriend It was delicious. The best rib eye we had on our whole road trip. Even the grilled veggies and salad were delicious! Loved everything about it, the garlic mashed potatoes were great too! If you’re doubting between the Rib Eye and the NY strip: they’re both delicious. We preferred the rib eye but it’s also bigger and if you just want the normal steak, it really is soooo great too. And you even get a side salad included. We took the blue cheese dressing and it was the best ever. Also the service is great and it’s a nice place to sit! Vegetarian options: The salad was very good

Food was very good, prices were okay. The restaurant was probably once a bank. Very high room, I didn't think it was bad, although it has a train concourse feel. Service was OK.

Great food, good beer selection, very pleasant inside, have a small outdoor porch if you have a dog with you

I 100% recommend this location for your dining needs. The food was amazing! I am not sure how they made a budget friendly meat cut taste so good and be so tender. My wife’s and daughter’s entrees were good too. The had a classic burger and the BLT. It was very nice to feel like everyone on the team was there to serve you. It was the best meal and the cheapest one we had in the area. Please do not judge the location by what you see driving in…I think this location is a hidden gem.

I recently visited the vault with my party, and our experience was unfortunately marred by the rude behavior of the bartender. From the moment we approached the bar, the female bartender’s attitude was dismissive and unprofessional. She greeted us with a cold demeanor and seemed impatient as we placed our drink orders. Despite our attempts to be polite and clear, she responded curtly and made us feel unwelcome. When we inquired about some of the drink options, her answers were brusque and unhelpful, adding to our discomfort. As our meal progressed, we encountered issues with our drink orders. When we brought these to her attention, she was not only dismissive but also visibly annoyed. Instead of offering a solution or apology, she blamed us for the misunderstanding and made no effort to correct the mistakes. This level of customer service is unacceptable and significantly detracted from our dining experience.
