The Vault can be found in Magee, a small town between Jackson and Hattiesburg.
Opened earlier this year, the restaurant is situated in the former Trustmark bank building in the city’s downtown.
Though the building received some updates during its transformation from a bank to a restaurant, signs of its past still remain, including the steel vault and glassed-in executive office.
Even better, you can actually dine in the vault and glassed-in office. That’s right; you can enjoy a meal where millions of dollars were once stored or where the bank’s president made daily decisions regarding those millions of dollars.
Both rooms can (and should) be reserved in advance. Perfect for groups big or small, the bank vault can seat 4 – 6 people and the president’s office seats up to 10.
Just as memorable at the unique atmosphere is the restaurant’s fare, which includes southern classics with a bit of a twist.
The menu varies between lunch and dinner. During lunch, diners can chow down sandwiches, po’ boys, salads, specials, and more.
… steaks that are "expertly seasoned and grilled to specifications just minutes before serving."
The Vault is located at 101 Main Ave. S, Magee, MS 39111. It’s open for lunch Wednesday – Friday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Dinner is served Wednesday – Saturday from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. For more information, call (601) 439-7242.
