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’ve eaten here several times before and it’s great for brunch and happy hour but massively overpriced and poor service for dinner reservations. The booths are too small to seat four people comfortably and our server was inexperienced and not very attentive. The mushroom soup came out cold and our main dishes arrived whilst we were still finishing our appetizers. It’s a beautiful restaurant but the food and service was very disappointing considering the price.

    This is a nice place, the dog decor is so cute, the food was decent and our server was outstanding. However, it was very noisy and it felt cramped seated so closely to other people. The food was fine and we appreciate how allergies were indicated for every dish but some of the food seemed to leave out ingredients in the description. For example, garlic was not mentioned in two dishes and it really should have been, as my friend doesn’t tolerate it. There were very few items on the already small menu that were gluten free and they happened to be the most expensive, leaving limited options for someone who may not eat red meat or seafood or want to pay $58 for it. Our server was excellent and very kind though. I hope White Dog could expand the menu with more gluten free and affordable offerings.
