Charming
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.

Vicker's Tavern was always one of our favorite romantic hot spots and we missed it when it closed. White Dog has done a great job renovating and expanding its footprint. We felt very welcomed upon arriving and I had jokingly asked for a table near a fireplace because we live in Florida now. When we checked in, the hostess chuckled and guided us to a table right next to a fireplace! They offer a nice list of cocktails and wines by the glass. To start, definitely try the mushroom soup, it was amazing. The flounder, trout and cajun catfish entrees were very well done. Service was accommodating and friendly. We had a very good experience.

Food and service were excellent, but I can't figure out why we could not get a reservation at 6. We took one for 5:30 but the place was still empty when we left at 7. I also don't understand why we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated when the place was empty. Maybe a tad snooty. . .

We were there for an early brunch and it was pretty empty. By the time we left the parking was full and the atmosphere a bit louder. Everyone agreed we would love to come back again to try lunch or dinner. Food was fantastic.

Service was very slow as they were understaffed. Over 2 hours for lunch was too long. Took 20 minutes just to get our drinks. Was hoping for a better experience as they did a great job renovating the place...oh well....

Very busy today and parking was “creative”. Once inside , the staff at host desk was very helpful and sat us promptly. Lovely booth in the large bar and Jessica suggested a couple of her favorite choices from the menu. My cosmo was delicious, and so was my combo soup and sandwich of squash soup and curry chicken salad sandwich. Ended meal with a perfect cappuccino !
