At The Vandiver, we celebrate the flavors and spirit of North Georgia — offering a unique tavern-style dining experience that blends classic American comfort with regional ingredients and contemporary touches. Located in the heart of Clayton, inside Bridge Creek Inn, our restaurant welcomes locals and travelers alike for memorable meals in a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Our mission is simple: to create heartfelt dining experiences where every dish tells a story, and every guest feels at home.
Warm & friendly environment — A relaxed, informal tavern atmosphere where both guests and team members are treated with respect and hospitality.
Creative & seasonal menu — We take pride in using locally sourced ingredients and offering dishes that reflect the season and local culture, from venison Wellington to inventive cocktails and regional specialties.
Diverse dining setting — From casual brunch to elegant dinners and a full bar with craft cocktails and beers — working here offers variety and pace.
Team-oriented culture — We value collaboration, respect, flexibility, and a genuine passion for hospitality. We believe in treating every staff member as part of “the Vandiver family.”
Growth and opportunity — Whether you join as front-of-house, kitchen, bar, or support staff — there’s potential to learn, grow, and become part of a dedicated hospitality team.
We are always interested in connecting with passionate, hard-working individuals who share our commitment to great food, warm hospitality, and a positive team culture. Whether your strengths are in front-of-house service, bartending, culinary work, or providing behind-the-scenes support, The Vandiver offers a dynamic environment where every role contributes to creating memorable dining experiences. Even if we are not actively hiring for a specific position, we welcome motivated candidates to reach out and express their interest, as new opportunities often open with the growth of our restaurant.
The Vandiver will be open Sunday night for dinner (when we’re usually closed) in celebration of Labor Day Weekend!
