The Vault

Just wanted to give a quick update, the food is still amazing but they have redone the interior quite a bit. Nice wood floors and new tables. It looks so much better!

The Vault is a local bar/​restaurant, known particularly for their pizzas and whose chef has quite a reputation & local following. (Richie previously ran the kitchens at the Old Rail tavern, and Hi-​Nella Bar & Grill.)
I came here w/​my bf on a Thurs night, which is also their pizza special night ($ 8.99/large pizza, toppings extra). We ordered a pizza (white w/​broccoli), a small salad, 10 wings, and the BLT cheeseburger. The wings & pizza were phenomenal. The burger was good, and cooked exactly to my bf’s liking (medium rare). The salad was forgettable, and def a rip off for $ 5! We also ordered a cannoli to go. The cannoli was really good, except there wasn’t enough of it, as it was a mini cannoli. Had I known, I would’ve ordered a few more.
Décor seems dated, which is odd because it’s a fairly newer business. The green walls match the green floor, and there are Christmas lights hanging in the windows all year long. The service was fast & attentive.
We will definitely be back to try out more on the menu, during one of their other specialty nights:
Monday — Burger specials
Wednesday — Pasta specials
Thursday — Pizza specials
Friday — Wing specials
Saturday — Pasta specials

Food was decent. Drinks were ok.

Standard pub style restaurant/​borderline dive bar. They offer your standard beer selection with three or four craft beers like goose island and victory. The food is good not great but they do make their own pizza which is on par with a traditional local pizza place. Not a bad spot if your in the area.

Love The Vault. It’s close to home & you can count on meeting neighbors whenever you go. The food is prepared by Richee who has been a staple in several South Jersey restaurants. Customers follow him to whatever kitchen he’s working The owner, Dean, is great & friendly. Both food & drink specials daily.

Came here a few times as a customer and was not overly impressed. Feels like a diner inside and all the female waitresses and bartenders were blonde and practically looked related. Found out they were hiring on Craigslist for bartenders so after many years in the biz I figured I’d give it a shot. Owner Dean was disinterested but gave me an application. After sitting and waiting for 45 minutes he sent Richie over who apparently runs the kitchen as well. He grilled me inappropriately for about a half an hour and even asked if I drink (off the clock) because apparently the owner won’t hire girls who do. He also asked if I am a thief and asked intrusive questions about my personal life. All for a shitty bartending job for a place with 3 stars. I know someone else who used to work there who quit because of Richies harassment. This place is a joke. I’ve never been back as a customer and wouldn’t work there for all the money in the world. After so many years in the business I’ve never been treated like that. I’ve heard the food is decent so maybe that is what keeps the doors open. All in all terrible experience!

Ridiculous. A dump. Waitress told us $ 2.25 drafts and bottles until 7. Ordered 3 beers and found out during the bill that it was only domestics. Went to manager and she discounted two of the beers and said the third was after 7. It wasn’t. It was 6:54 pm because I was going to order another when she came back but she didn’t deliver the beer until 7:02 after it sat at service bar. I said please give us the price you told in the beginning and she said «whatever I’m not arguing with you» and walked away. She gave us our change and walked away again with no comment but an attitude. I was trying out this bar because I live in the area but I’ll never go again. Kid rips is definitely a better runnemede choice.
Oh and they tried charging us full price for the pasta and it was pasta night so it’s supposed to be $ 10.99. Caught that one!

Love The Vault! Used to frequent the Old Rail Tavern, mostly because of Richeez’ cooking, so naturally followed him to the Vault when they opened! The Buffalo chicken cheesesteak and garlic bread cheesesteak are my two favorite menu items! Love their wings, too. But we have never had a bad meal here, no matter what we order. Prices are very reasonable, too!
My only complaint would be that it can get a little loud in there at happy hour, between tge people at the bar and the jukebox, but I suppose that’s probably because it’s not that big. I have asked them to turn the music down and they were very accommodating.

You cant beat the food, everything on the menu is good! Cheap beers and decently priced food. Friendly staff. It might not be so appealing from the outside but its one of my favorite local bars!

I’ve driven past this place a couple of times and finally ventured in on a Thursday night.
Very casual bar with friendly staff. Looked like a few locals found this to be their home away from home. Couple groups of ladies having a good time, TV’s playing game shows and music was at the right volume for conversation.
We decided to try out the mussels in red sauce and pierogies. Both delicious choices. The mussels sauce was flavorful and with lots of chopped garlic. The pierogies were crisp on the outside and covered with chopped up bacon.
I’m told next time I head here I have to try their pizza, that it’s awesome (per a co-​worker).

I have not had a worse experience at a bar. I’m a very friendly guy and I felt like I was not welcome. My friendly nature was met with disdain. And and off duty waitress had made fun of me while drinking at the bar. I Will never go back and my friends are not going there now. Your bar just ain’t that cool

best pizza around. cannot beat the italian food, try the baked ziti.

Me and my buds came here to watch the Pro Bowl because we heard the food was great. We literally waited for 45 minutes only to have the waitress we had clock off. Then out of nowhere the owner comes over and barks in our face about idoling around not ordering. Then this other waitress comes over, asks for our order, and when I explained the dilemma she responded, «Get over it». So finally my Pasta Bowl comes out and the entire thing is burnt to a dry crisp, the garlic bread is soggy and falling apart, and they decided upon themselves to coat it with so much red pepper to the point you can’t taste anything but the flakes. When I ask for a refund the owner waddles over me and say to «get the f*** out». DO NOT GO TO THIS CRAPHOLE.

Went in with a friend and I ordered muscles in red sauce with garlic bread and an absolute martini on the rocks with extra olives. Very large bowl of delicious muscles with just the right amount of red sauce. Garlic bred was perfect, not over powering
The drink was large and strong. No complaints. Love this place
Wednesday and Saturday nights pasta buffet and garlic bread for $ 9.99
Lasagna, muscles etc

Decent place to grab a drink. Went here on a weeknight and it was quiet as expected. Drinks were cold, bartender was nice décor was intriguing.
We both ordered salads this night. Food presentation was blah. Both salads we presented in a plastic bowl and looking around the bar there were lots of big plastic bowls people were eating out of. Im not big on plastic bowls for food even salad.
I had the vault salad with chicken it was nice. My partner had the antipast salad which looked like a chef salad not antipast The salads looked identical but she had rolls of lunch meat and i had chicken.
I would go back but would not go out of my way to get there.

It was a fun dive bar!
My boyfriend and I live within walking distance (which will be phenomenal this summer) and enjoyed some finger foods and appropriately green beer for St. Paddy’s Day.
There were also really cheap shots going around via shot girls and we loved it.
We had a fun time, it wasn’t too loud and it’s the perfect/​size and location. Without a doubt will be back. I really look forward to more visits!

Went back and food was good, blah blah blah. BUT in the middle of our meal, we were asked to MOVE to accommodate a larger party of 6! That was insane!

ritchie is the man when it comes to great bar food at reasonable prices .up side is price of beer daily specials wait staff that is excellent, and helpful (for us old guys and gals) but you had better have a big appetite or ask for a to go box, it can be loud so go to the back room and enjoy …

This is my new favorite place! We go here almost every weekend now — The service is excellent and the food, well, it’s hard to beat! We have tried several menu items — and I have NO complaints. (ok, I lied, I have one little one — I don’t like that they put grated cheese on my cheese steak hoagie) — but the sandwich itself was delicious!
We’ve tried: the wings, cheesesteaks, chicken cheessteaks, crab fries, The Vault fries… no complaints at all. The pizza is also delicious and every Thursday they offer a large cheese pie for $ 7.99 — Always check to see if that deal is still running — In case you’re reading this and some time has passed.
In the section where I checked off LOUD, it’s not really a nuisance, but happy hour can get a little loud, so my husband usually asks to sit out in the room that is closed off from the bar — It’s nice and quiet out there, if you choose to have that ambience.
I love it anywhere we sit.
