About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
White Dog Cafe's newest location brings local, seasonal, and sustainable dining to Chester County. The original Vickers Tavern has been completely renovated, and the White Dog Cafe has preserved the building's history while adding chic farmhouse aesthetics and dog-themed decor. The restaurant features seven distinct dining rooms, each with its own unique personality and design. In addition, there is an expansive outdoor patio with a gas fireplace and retractable cover. The open Barn room includes a large oval bar, a sitting area by an open fireplace, and doors leading to the outdoor potting shed. The menu includes several White Dog staples, such as Kennett Square Mushroom Soup, Double Cheddar Burger, Lamb Bolognese, Truffle Fries, and house-made bread baskets from local farms, alongside new additions.

    We love the ambience but our food was not warm enough when it arrived. The price tag was a bit high, as well, considering the food temperature and the food purchased, but I guess the cost of dinner is higher than lunch. This is our first experience with the dinner hour. Generally, it was a lovely evening considering and we will definitely be back. It was my birthday!

    Great service, Excellent food. Excellent cocktails and wines by the glass. We had prime rib, steak frites, and fish special. For dessert, creme brulee and carrot cake bread pudding were good.

    This was our 4th visit but our worst. They had a very limited menu for Easter. Mostly breakfast options but our reservations are for 1:00. We had to ask for utensils, never asked if we wanted beverages, just gave us water. Of our (3) meals none of us took the leftovers. Very dissspoined When making the reservations I told them I gave Celuac disease (gluten free) but there were only (3) options and (2) were omelettes. If you are going to have a limited menu, please let us know

    Had a wonderful Easter Brunch on the outdoor patio. The place was hopping (pun intended). All staff were super friendly and helpful. Seating allowed my pooch to feel comfortable with space. Service was excellent. Food came out quickly and was delish. Had the brunch snack board to start. Perfect portions and very tasty. Companion had the Kennett omelet which was huge. I had the impossible melt which was flavorful. Highly recommend
