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.

    Always looked forward to the truffle fries here. Lately…the last two or three times I’ve been here…the fries have not been fresh. It’s such a disappointment because it’s otherwise a five star experience.

    On our second visit to White Dog Chester Springs, the food, decor, Christmas decorations and table service were five star again. I loved my chopped smoked salmon salad and will return to have it again. Unfortunately we had the same disappointing experience we had the first time with the service at check-in. We felt as though we were an interruption. Smiles were in short supply. Eyes were on the computer screen and not on guests entering the restaurant. I hope we will feel more welcome on our next visit.

    Decent place. Parking is atrocious. Seemed like they wanted to keep things moving too quickly.

    Hi Peter! Thanks for taking the time to let us know how we are doing. Parking is definitely an opportunity for us and management has been working hard to finding creative solutions like adding valet most evenings. I see we also missed the mark on food and ambience for you and was hoping you'd be willing to share some details so we know where we can improve. Thanks for stopping in, hope to see you again soon! -Kristen Foster, Assistant General Manager

    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.
