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.

    Food was excellent and the restaurant had vintage charm with modern touches. Back room was a little noisy, but I think it was more of an acoustics thing. We had a lovely time!

    Great venue. Great ambience. Great servers. Beautiful renovation from Vickers. Food was slow to arrive to the table for whatever reason.

    Parking - Park yourself or use the Valet. Parking lot is a bit small Ambiance - The theme is dogs and the decor is eclectic, energetic, artsy and fun Food locally Sourced - The food is farm to table and locally sourced which is a bonus The menu has a nice variety Appetizers We had the Tuna poke and the Deviled Eggs They were both tasty and we would order them again. Entree's - party of 4 (2) Couples My husband and I both opted for the Braised Short rib, very delic and definitely a must order again Entree. the best part is there was literally no fat on the short rib. We will definitely be back and try other items on the menu. Other Couple ordered The Salmon this was a huge hit and a I would definitely come back and the meal was very good. Crab Cakes - The crab cakes were just ok and for the price they would not return. The atmosphere is cool and welcoming and 3 loved it and would return and one individual would not return. So we will definitely dine there again. Highly suggest giving them a try.

    Loved the food, loved the service, but it was so loud in the part of the restaurant we were in, that conversation with our companions was pretty difficult.

    Last minute decision to grab dinner out turned into a solid find! Great atmosphere, with lots a different bars and spaces as it looked like an old historic home. It was all dog themed and rustic like a hunting lodge. Warm colors, wood, fireplace and super cozy! Our server was superb with recommendations and get our appetizer out like magic as we said we were starving! Menu had variety from salads to salmon and soups to pasta. Very sizable portions really made me feel a great value for the money. Enjoy your meal at White Dog - and they even had complimentary valet parking!
