Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

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.

I love the ambience and warmth of the restaurant. The food was simple and delicious. ALL the staff was most pleasant. Our waitress, Leah, was very pleasant and friendly. We were there on Sunday afternoon at 4:00 PM. We ordered from the Midday Menu. The only recommendation I would make is that I would have appreciated one or two more entrees to choose. This will be our new favorite restaurant!

The White Dog is a valuable addition to the area. The holiday ambience was live and welcoming on a very cold night. The place was bustling with happy diners and hardworking staff. Service is excellent even when the place is so busy. We've never had to wait to be greeted by our server or our meal. Oh, and did I mention that the food is very good?

Felt rushed. 1st course came out before our appetizers. The french onion was delicious and so was the Caesar salad. The bread was stale and cold which was a huge disappointment because when we had it before it was fresh and hot out of the oven which should be expected for 10 dollars. The burger was ok. Nothing special. Restaurant is beautifully decorated.

We had a wonderful experience at the White Dog Cafe. We celebrated my fiancée's birthday, and the staff acknowledged the occasion with a nice card. We had dined at the restaurant when it was Vickers Restaurant, so it was nice to see that much of the restaurant had a close resemblance. The food was fantastic, many great choices. I had the salmon and my fiancée had the meatloaf. Both were great. We started with the buffalo chicken dip, which was a nice beginning to our meal. Our server, Lia was fantastic, she was friendly, cheerful and full of positive energy. She was attentive without being over bearing. We will go back again.

We’d eaten here a month ago for lunch and loved it! Decided to come back for dinner and picked my husband’s birthday to dine here. White Dog Cafe did not disappoint! I enjoyed the rack of lamb and he had the flounder with crab; both were absolutely exquisite! And the broccolini was the best ever. This meal was the most enjoyable and memorable we’ve had in a long time. We’ll be back for my birthday next month. Thank you White Dog Cafe!
