We meet friends from Philly for Brunch on a regular basis. We're from Allentown and it's about half way. It's our go to place and this week's adventure was no exception. Great food and excellent service. Drinks are always right on! We love the Seafood Platter appetizer. It's a real treat.

I have had the Lancaster Omelet at other White Dogs, always good. The one I had today tasted so different--the cheese, the bacon, and the large pieces of tomato all were so different and not as good as the ones I have had at Penn WD and Haverford WD.

Jason recommended the little gem lettuce salad with green goddess dressing (an addition this particular evening, but slated for the spring menu). This was the perfect combination of colors and flavors to put us in a springtime mood!
