Vault Smoke House - Yardley

Rainy day. Good food Half rack of ribs. Good beer too. Cody atmosphere. Need to put up signs up front near the road. We drove past and came back. It's located at the extreme back of a strip mall setting. More signs directing to the place will be nice Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch

Cool BBQ restaurant in Yardley. Stopped at Vault Smoke House after a stop at TCNJ. Very good Pastrami and Kelbhasa. The Alabama white sauces was my favorite. The mac cheese was traditional BBQ which is not my favorite but it was OK. BBQ is 5 star but the sides were a little less. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30

Some of the worst service I’ve experienced. We came here for dinner with friends. Our friends got there earlier than us, around 7:30pm. We got there around 8:00pm. Our friends said that they’re still waiting on someone to take their order. The waitress finally came around and we put in drinks and an appetizer. Another 30 mins pass and the drinks show up but no food. We wait another 10 mins and tell the waitress we’re ready to order entrees. The waitress then tells us the kitchen is closed. We ask her when were you planning on telling us and her response was that she’s the only one working today. I don’t blame the staff all that much but why wouldn’t you tell us the kitchen is closing? That’s as simple as it gets when waiting tables. Also there was an employee at the door just standing there. It wasn’t busy and no other customers came in after us. So why wouldn’t you go help out where you can. Whoever runs this place, train your staff better and actually give more of a damn for your restaurant. Couldn’t even try the food and most likely never will. (This review was from July 13th. For some reason google didn’t post it)

Surprisingly Not Good, other than being at an OK location. Totally more concept than it delivers, so don 't bother. Poor/Absent management sadly abounds. Bartender couldn 't manage to say, You 're welcome. He just turned away from us with no comment or expression after being thanked. A bizarre lack of hospitality on his part, but the teenager that seated and served us at a table was very nice. The food isn 't smoked; most definitely not the smoked salmon or the smoked mac n cheese. They had no coleslaw at 5pm on a Sunday, and the place wasn 't at all busy. There are no appetizers; only nachos are listed under 'sammies '. The ribs were tough and fatty. Low on flavor. One napkin was offered with a half rack of ribs order. Nothing at the table to use. No plates unless you ask, and then they 're paper. The collard greens seemed from a can, and also like someone literally dropped a full salt mine inside. Insanely salty, but could 've been good otherwise. The Mac was Meh. The salmon had flabby, fatty un crisped skin on the bottom of it. (Cooked with zero finesse, as well as only a l 'il sprinkle of powdered seasonings on top — same w/ the ribs. The table sauces weren 't all that good, and they didn 't match their menu descriptions. All of the touching of the black plastic caps on the tops of the plastic squeeze bottles that one has to perform to open them up seems really unhygienic but also, There Were Many Flies Inside the Restaurant. There was a very badly rocking two top we were seated at. There were drink rings on the window sills, and dust and cobwebs on the large ceiling lighting fixtures. One restroom 's door had no functional lock. There was no soap in 1 out of 2 of the restrooms, and they were aware of it, according to one server, yet still weren 't fixing it. It was like 'we don 't have supplies. ' One of the draft ales tasted straight up like bug spray! Really nasty.

Delicious BBQ. Good service and nice atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and beers. Service: Dine in Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
