About the restaurant

Fresh, Local, From Scratch. Everyday.

Great food is always fresh, never frozen. Locally sourced is always better than factory food from far away. That’s why every dish at Lucky Hare is made from scratch, in our kitchen, by our chefs, everyday. It’s better for you, and we believe it tastes better that way.

Whenever possible we work with local farmers to source the freshest and best quality ingredients we can while supporting our community. Whether it’s locally grown produce or pasture raised meats, you’ll notice the difference in flavor and you can feel good about supporting local small businesses.

This is a hidden gem. The drinks were great. The atmosphere is homie and more like eating dinner in your aunt's kitchen. The food was an incredible price point for what we got and it was really really good. My daughter got an 8 ounce filet mignon for $35.

If you want to have a higher end dining experience in Clayton, GA, you really have few choices. Vandiver offers this. Everything about it is right. The ambience, surroundings, amenities, bar service, wait staff and a delicious variety of quality prepared cuisines. If you’re traveling through town boutique shopping and you want a quick bite, there are lower priced options around town that offer cheap food but for those who want and expect more, Vandiver fits the bill.
