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.

    Made reservations and requested a quiet out of the way table. We were seated at a postage stamp size table in the threshold between the dining room and bar! As far as the menu, had to ask if they served anything vegetarian. Manager apologized and offered a free dessert. No thank you!

    Had a great meal! First time being there under the new white dog name. I will definitely eat here again. Just a little chilly at the window with a two seater table in the back room, where we sat. That made it a little bit more difficult to enjoy the experience fully since we were cold. I do believe our server did turn up the heat a bit for us. Thanks!! To be fair, the seasons are changing and temps dropped recently, and it was raining and windy. The food was amazing and the place is beautiful, despite being cold near that one window, I would definitely enjoy a meal here again.

    Not a great experience. Service was super slow and my side dish with my ribs was cold and salty.

    After visiting several times for both lunch and dinner, there is no escaping that it is their goal to get you in and out as quickly as possible. We are very respectful of the need to wrap up our restaurant visits in 90 minutes, but they are so pushy it becomes uncomfortable making us feel like an intrusion. EVERY time!
