We just stopped after a long way driving , and we wanted to eat a nice dinner. This place was recommended by some friends, but we couldnt try out. The waitress girl told us they do not have free table,they are busy. Half of the tables were free, and nothing any sign on them with reserved sign or any other information about a private occassion. Also she didnt offer any other option when or where can we eat a dinner. What is more she was not so kind, her communication skills needs to develop.

Just had Lunch today 17th August 2024 on the reopening of the Restaurant with I believe a new Chef, Wife and I both ordered the steak pie chips and mixed Veg. I’m 69 and I’ve never had a better steak pie. It was fantastic and great value. Staff were very friendly and all in all an experience to easily recommend. Thanks everyone from Brian & Alison x

Situated away from the centre of Girvan this establishment has been overlooked for too long. Looking for a change for a meal out decided to give The Vaults a try. We weren’t disappointed. The dining room is clean and tidy but not ‘up market’. The staff were helpful, bright and efficient . The menu has a wide selection of fare also catering well for vegetarians and vegans. When they arrived, promptly, the choices made by my wife and myself were exceptionally well presented and an absolute delight to eat. In summary, if you consider the food to be the most important part of the night out, The Vaults must be the top of our list for an evening out in Girvan.

Ist time in the vaults. It was late afternoon, and it was busy. Service was very prompt. The food was great. I had the chicken breast chilli served with chips and salad. The vaults homemade steak burger was fantastic as well. Choice of cheese and sauces. Next time I visit Girvan,will pop in again

First time in The Vaults and very impressed. Decor clean but simple, bright and friendly service , the food excellent and very well presented. From this one visit with my wife I would suggest that this may well be the best eating house in Girvan. Thank you, we will be back again soon.

Walked in without a booking this evening. I’m working away from home so fancied something that didn’t involve chips. Reviews were ok and a few mentions of the steak pie. This is what I ordered with Potatoes and veg. Home cooked and very tasty and a complete bargain. Nothing fancy but I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’re in the area it’s worth a look. I would definitely go here again if in the area.

We stopped by for a bite to eat on an early Sunday evening. This little eaterie is located just on the outskirts of Girvan Town centre on the main road, and we had no problem finding a car parking space on the street outside. The restaurant was small and intimate, with a romantic setting so ideal for couples. The ladies who served us were very friendly and accommodating, and as we were the only other couple in the restaurant, we were served immediately. We both had a chicken burger with bacon,mozzarella, and mayo. The burger was rubbery like it had been frozen, but the chips and salad were lovely. The prices were too expensive for the quality of the food at over £9 each, and we were charged £4 for two small glasses of coke, which was extortionate. Overall, our experience was disappointing and we will not be visiting again.

Had read on a previous review that dogs were not welcome and had put us off going. We were also turned down food from the previous place we had visited. The Vaults welcomed us in 15 minutes before they stopped serving food and were more than dog friendly. We were welcomed to sit in the bar or beer garden with the dogs and we were looked after both us and the dogs the rest of the night. Food is very tasty, service was excellent, not one unfriendly thing in sight. HIGHLY recommended to anyone else visiting the area.

When arrived was told an average of 6 items not on menu I thought here we go take it or leave it decided to give it a try anyway. What can I say typical value pub grub. Partners soup potato and onion with dollop of cream on it turned the spoon upside down and soup stuck to it very gloopy their soupy. 🤢I had prawn tempura all batter no prawn inside it. Fish in breadcrumbs not up to much. Potatoes were ok. Veg most was ok except cabbage undercooked. Scampi was average like the stuff you get out freezer shop. Hand cut chips were dry and hard. I heard decent reviews about this place too maybe I’m just unlucky 🤢never even asked if our food was ok.

Breaded haddock over cooked and it was so well done I had to cut away the outer edges to get to the fish - I think it might have come out of a box. The meal was served on a sheet of paper on a wooden board. If I had wanted fish and chips from a paper, I would have gone to the chippy - The Vaults was recommended to us - If they are considered the best, all I can say is there cant be much in the way of competition.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm, welcoming staff who made us feel right at home—even as English visitors in Scotland! The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and absolutely worth every penny. We also loved the special touches, like the dedicated kids’ and dog menus, which made the whole family feel included. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area—it's a must-visit! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re up here.
