The Bank Bar & Vault Restaurant

Amazing Burger! First time we visited the establishment and we were not disappointed. The young lady that waited on us was very polite and friendly. I highly recommend the Bank Bar.

Fun place... Enjoy

After watching a FB reel on Wilsall, and reading reviews of this restaurant, I was determined to try it out. After getting off work early yesterday, I decided to take the 3½ hour ride on my motorcycle down to Wilsall. It was a long beautiful ride. Amazing mountain views. I finally arrived in Wilsall and found the bar & restaurant at about 3:30p. I walked in and was immediately greeted by 3 wonderful and energetic ladies who work at The Bank Bar & Vault Restaurant. I took a seat at a bar table, and ordered a delicious IPA from Outlaw Brewing. I looked over the menu and decided on a Wilsall Zinger burger, a Sweet Chili Chicken Taco, and a Blackened Fish Taco. The Wilsall Zinger burger is a ⅓lb burger with their house pickled jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeño aioli. Comes with delicious fries. Price is $13.25. I added some lettuce & tomato ($0.50 each), and got the patty cooked slightly past rare. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!! Very impressed. Best burger in a looong time! Definitely recommend! All the meat comes from a local rancher, a mile up the road. Farm to table meat. Muddy Creek Ranch is the local supplier. The Sweet Chili Chicken Taco (2) is grilled chicken cooked with sweet chili sauce, in flour tortillas, with lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese. Comes with chips & salsa. Price is $13.50. Absolutely delicious!! I recommend these! The Blackened Fish Tacos (2) are fried, battered cod, tossed in a house made Cajun dry rub on top of their house made coleslaw, in a flour tortilla. Comes with chips & salsa. Price is $15.00. These were good, but not my favorite. Usually I love fish tacos, but I didn't love these. For dessert, I ordered a slice of the Fresh Baked Fruit Forest pie. It has wild berries, apple, & rhubarb. It's heated up and topped with Whip Cream. It was incredible!! I definitely recommend this pie. I also ordered the Tropical Crepe Cake, which are thin slices of crepe filled with a tropical flavored cream. This dessert pastry was perfect! Soft yet flaky, sweet yet light & mellow, and mysteriously refreshing after all the food eaten before it. Fantastic dessert! For dessert beverage, I ordered a Wilsall Watermelon Crawl cocktail. It is Whiskey, Watermelon Pucker, Lemonade, & Ginger Ale, and an orange slice on the rim. Very delicious and refreshing! I was planning to order one of their famous steaks as well, but unfortunately was too full, so I'll have to come back and get one next time. Muddy Creek Ranch Steaks are part of entrees, which are only served after 5pm. I could have ordered one as it was about 5:25p when I finished everything, but my belly was full. The atmosphere is very friendly & genuine, as small towns are. Great people. Decor is fantastic. A lot of country artwork, photography, statues/sculptures, and other western and bar decor. When I arrived at 3:30, it was pretty quiet and not busy. As time passed and dinner time came, it got busier and slightly more noise, but at a calm social level. If you're ever nearby, or even 3½+ hours away, I HIGHLY recommend stopping in for a bite or a drink. You won't be disappointed. You'll be glad you did!!! TRUST ME! The Bank Bar & Vault Restaurant is now one of my top favorite Montana bars & restaurants. Thank you Bank Bar & Vault Restaurant for your hospitality and amazing food and drinks!! I'll be back again soon for steak!

Such a juicy and amazing burger! The beef is from a local ranch and is so flavorful! We stopped here a few years back and made a trip again for the food. It doesn’t disappoint. 🙏

Great pace for lunch and a cold one. We stopped on our way from Bozeman to Choteau and had lunch. Bartender was great and the food was good. Can't beat that!

Please ensure the bar maintains its authentic, traditional atmosphere. The burger patty was exceptional; it was evident that the meat was sourced fresh from a local rancher. Although I have passed this establishment numerous times over the past few years, I never had the opportunity to visit until now. I genuinely regret not having done so sooner.

DO NOT HOLD UP YOUR GLASS FOR A REFILL!

Possibly, our bartender/server was having an ugly morning before the lunch crowd hit.

Food was average and portions were small. Barbeque sauce was tasty.

Forgettable experience.

I love this place. I come out to visit family in the area every year and this is my favorite place to eat, hands down. Best burgers I've had in decades. The sweet chili tacos are heaven. The steaks look beautiful. Equally as important is the service. Always smiling and friendly. When they get busy it can get a little slow, but that's expected and the food always comes out hot and delicious.

We spotted this place while driving through. We love "hole in the wall" places, so we stopped for a cocktail. Our bartender was so welcoming, chatty, and made us feel at home! I wish I had gotten her name, we had some good conversation, and she even gave us a hug when we left.
Super sweet!!

I cannot believe the price I paid for mediocre food. I paid $12 for 4 teeny tiny jalapeno poppers? Paid $20 for a a burger that came with 10 french fries? Not worth the outrageous price at all!!!

We just stopped in for drinks. I think they are severely understaffed as we only stopped for drinks and it took longer than reasonable to get the drinks and to pay for them. I believe the waiter was by herself and was working really hard to serve everyone, but really needed an extra set of hands.
