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 had a wonderful dinner for 4. Had a late reservation and at the end we were the only table. We were not pressured to leave and the service was very good. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I do not think it is typically this quiet, but was for us as it was late.

Outstanding experience tonight. The service was spectacular and the food fantastic. The ambience next to the fireplace was fantastic for a very cold evening such as tonight- just a great night all around.

I ordered the Kennett Square omelet, but the eggs were flat and fairly dry and it was room temp. Very disappointed. Our server Tessa was very good, regardless.

Excellent food - highly recommend the filet with broccolini or the flounder piccata with crab orzo. Nice ambiance with music, dim lights, and love all the dog decor. Suggestion for bread basket - provide smaller size (2, 4, 6 people, etc)

We've happily returned to the Dog again and again. Food is reliably very good, interesting selection, and decent wine list by the glass. Today our server was Beth L, she was very personable, gave us just enough attention and knew the menu so she could give good suggestions. Well done Dog, we'll be back.
