Phenomenal plates of food and great atmosphere. We had the XXL plate to share between two and we were defeated. The ribs and the chicken were a family favourite but everything tasted great. Service typical of York - really friendly and helpful. Will be back!

My wife & I booked a table here on the Friday at 6pm, but would have been able to do a walk in, as it wasn't busy, the staff here were remarkably friendly 10/10 for the American guy from Florida & the young lady from County Durham, I don't think I've ever met such nice wait on staff anywhere in the world, the food in here is generous in portion size & cooked to perfection, we got a platter to share, & didn't wait to long, you can see the food getting prepared behind the glass screen, very novel idea we thought, not a big choice of desserts, but probably the best chocolate brownie I've ever had, just a pity we went somewhere else the day before, as I would have had no hesitation in dining here 2 days running.

If you want BBQ food as tasty as any (stateside) American smokehouse, come here. The best ribs I've ever had, pulled pork and BBQ sauce to die for. Amazing food and great beer. We shared a BBQ Beast tray and a side of Mac and Cheese, with a couple of pints and an amazing Pecan pie.

The best burger and fries I’ve ever had! Service was fast and friendly, our server checked on us every time she passed and had a little joke. Dark and moody vibes with candlelight made it feel very cosey but still got us in the mood to go out for the night! Have already recommended to friends visiting soon

Visited York at the weekend and Pavement Vaults had been recommended to us for a meal. We went along without a booking and the team were able to get us a table within about 5-10 minutes despite how busy it was. There was a great range of drinks at the bar and the menu had a decent range too. The food came in good time, all cooked fresh and very tasty. While I’ve definitely had better burgers, this was still great and overall good value for money. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

We visited for some lunch whilst visiting for my birthday. We were quickly greeted and sat down promptly which was good. The environment was pleasant and inviting. After a very short time (about 2/3 minutes after getting the menu!) we were asked if we wanted to order, we asked for a bit longer. After about a further 20 minutes we stopped the single passing waitress and asked to order as we hadn’t been approached again. We had been here for 40 minutes by now and still hadn’t received our drinks, so I asked the waitress if we could have our drinks. She did apologise and immediately went to get them which was good, just a shame we had to ask again. Our food arrived sometime later and it looked fantastic. Generally speaking it was good although there were far, far too many Jalapeños which spoilt it and the blue cheese was far too strong and spoilt the whole meal for me. Based on my experience I wouldn’t visit this restaurant again.

We stumbled on the Pavement vaults in 2016 and been making dedication trips up every year from Essex when we get a couple of nights off from the kids. Every time to date the restaurant, food and atmosphere has been fantastic. Unfortunately on Friday it did fall below what we expected. They were clearly understaffed meaning we had long waits for table service. When our food did finally come (the XL with the odd side) it looked great but unfortunately it just didn't live up to past experiences. The meat didn't taste as fresh as we'd normally expect and some we had to leave. The pulled beef was far too salty to eat and the pulled pork was like mush. Then the chicken. We had a couple of extra bits of the he buttermilk but struggled to eat one, it just didn't taste right. We put it down to our taste being off but both felt pretty groggy the next day. I just want to manage others expectations. Would I go back, yes. Am I happy with outlr meal, no. In all fairness I didn't mention it there as I felt a bit off and just wanted to get out. it's the first bad experience and hopefully is a one off. My biggest gripe off the back of this is I've tried calling, emailing and Facebook messaging but haven't been able to flag my issue. All that said, despite it setting me back £92.50ish for the two of us (very steep, especially under the circumstances) I'd still say give it a try

It's quite a nice atmosphere inside but at over £16 for two medium glasses of wine is bit steep. Other places you'd get four glasses of wine for that! There were some Norwegian chaps in and they were causing no bother, just talking about football but occasionally talking a tad loud. We sat next to them and had no problem at all. The doorman threatened to throw them out as he'd told them to keep the noise down - bloody jobsworth!!! So Pavement Vaults I won't be visiting again in a hurry.

Wow ! Incredible food, sensational experience… some of the best food my wife and I have eaten anywhere in the world. Absolutely belting. Portions were on the large size, but that aside the quality, the cooking, taste and eating was stunning. We’ve not had ribs like this anywhere, ever. If you want quality food of this kind, you will struggle to beat it I think, anywhere, not just in York. If you like ribs and BBQ food, pop this place right at the top of your list, but book ! Simple to book on line…. But avoids disappointment. Staff super attentive, orders were spot on, nice for staff to listen and bring what you’ve asked for. Thank you.

Nice food but terrible bar service. Husband asked barmaid who was polishing the tap if she was serving. She responded with a very curt no and carried on polishing leaving him standing there with no service! He gave it a few mins and was going to say to staff who appeared standing at other end of bar at which point she then asked them to serve! Not the kind of friendly service you would normally get in York! Shame cos food was good but her attitude definitely let the place down!

Unfortunately the service left a bit to be desired. Long waits for us to place an order and then to receive drinks event though it wasn’t busy after another fairly long wait our food arrived. As I tucked in I found an extremly long hair in my chips! I did bring it to the attention of a member of staff who offered to replace my meal. Despite the downsides the food was delicious and the portions hearty. Definitely the place to go for barbecue food as long as you don’t mind the odd hair in it!

The food was great, a little pricey but you certainly get what you pay for. I had the "Fear and loathing" burger. It came with all the trimmings and I jibbed trying to pick it up and eat it and resorted to the knife and fork. Service was non pushy and we were not rushed. The waiting on staff were friendly and welcoming. Inside, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing and the decor was as to be expected with a city centre pub diner. I can only make one criticism and that is regarding the gargantuan portion sizes. We felt over faced with the amount of food presented and felt guilty sending back so much waste. This was echoed by comments from the next table. You can't say you didn't get enough to eat but I think the Pavement Vaults would benefit from reviewing their portion control and would be able to make savings.

Where to start...positives first. Food was pretty good, ribs were excellent, pulled pork and buttermilk chicken among the best I've ever tasted, fries on the other hand were a slight let down, and the chicken wings a tad dry. Overall it was decent. Time for the reasoning behind 2 stars⭐️⭐️. The year is 2023 and we paid damn near £100 for a couple of drinks and an obscene amount of food. Not once were we asked "Are you sure you want all of that?" as we assumed, like every other smokehouse/restaurant/bistro/pub/eateries we have ever been to, that we could doggy bag and take away what we didn't eat. What we didn't eat was around half of our original servings, so about £40 worth of food. Apparently, Pavement Vaults policy is to not allow paying customers to take a single morsel home with them, let alone half a full meal. So the final outcome is that the huge pile of food left on both mine and my wife's plates would be tipped in the bin. YES...tipped in the actual bin! I was genuinely shocked, asked the manager for a second time and was met with disdain and told that she doesn't make the rules. Shocking! Well, we won't be going back there, and will be advising friends and family alike not to go too. Cost of living crisis, people starving on our streets, post Covid motto of 'be kind' and their policy is to launch full meals in the litter bin. Truly appallingly, whoever made this policy should be ashamed... Also, the restaurant was freezing (I'm usually 1,000° and even I was cold), my wife had to put her coat on during the meal as did a lad on the next table. To make matters worse, I had to get up to find someone to order a second drink and again to pay the bill. Poor form...

I just want to start off by saying that the food was amazing, we had a short beef tray and a wing and rib combo. Both were great. Atmosphere and decor in the restaurant was lovely, but the reason we won't be returning again is due to their 'policy' of not being allowed to take your leftovers home, I have never in my life heard of such policy, I did ask the waitress a few times because I thought I got it wrong, but she multiple times confirmed that it is their policy they have in house. If I have paid for something, I should be able to take home what is mine. We paid £84 for our meal which is not cheap, and we left half of it due to the portion sizes, which we aren't complaining about, they were huge, but for that price, I would expect to be able to take home what we didn't eat, so really, it's just a heads up if you are visiting, we paid £84 for a meal, we didn't finish and couldn't take home with us to eat later. I am someone who does not like to waste food, so majority of our meal probably went in the bin, a meal we could have taken and finished at another time. For this, we are very disappointed, and will not be returning. Food waste is a massive issue not only for us, but globally, and this restaurant clearly has no issues with doing this which we can't support. So please take this into consideration when going, it was very disappointing knowing all that food, especially meat was just going in the bin.
