We enjoy dining out at all of the White Dog locations. Haverford is much quieter than the Wayne location. The cocktails and food are awesome. Tried the new Swordfish special and it was delicious as was the Pork Shank. Service was fine but entrees did take some time to come out. Server was apologetic. But that is better than being rushed out as some other restaurants do. You never get a bad meal here.

This place is great, although expensive, but perfect for a special dinner. I really appreciate how Philly restaurants have outposts in the surrounding suburbs that are easily accessible without having to go all the way into the city. The white dog has plenty of parking out front, some limited outdoor seating that I wouldn't bother with since it's practically in the parking lot, and three separate areas indoors to dine. They have a bar area and booths, a bright and cheery area with many tables for two, and a section further in the back where I've seen large parties sitting. I never really focus so much on the surroundings and decor in my yelp reviews, but here I felt like it was necessary, since their whole brand is built around quirky dog decorations in cozy spaces. Their food is very good, better than other places you'll find in the area, but again be ready to pay. Generally the cheapest entree on the menu costs $29. Their menu changes seasonally, and they always have delicious and innovative things to order. In the fall I've gotten calamari and a short rib dish, and this past weekend I got the spicy lamb bolognese (it wasn't particularly spicy) with a teeny little blob of pesto ricotta on top. It was very rich and delicious. My boyfriend got the double cheddar burger with truffle parm fries (not pictured), which he said were very good. That I think is available year round, along with their meatloaf which is also tasty.

Jose' C. was simply outstanding! He wasn't assigned to our table but noticed that we were being serviced, so he jumped right in with top-notch service! Kudos to Jose C.!!!

White Dog Cafe offers a delightful brunch experience with attentive service and delicious food. The warm donuts appetizer stole the show, closely followed by the homemade seasonal brunch bread, currently featuring a yummy banana bread. My beet and arugula salad, with a smart substitution of avocado for cheese and the addition of jumbo blackened shrimp, provided a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The ambiance exudes good vibes, and the restaurant attracts a steady stream of customers, so making a reservation during peak hours is advisable. Overall, White Dog Cafe delivers a memorable brunch outing, and I recommend it for anyone looking for a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.

Not a good meal, 2nd time food just not worth the $$ after giving another try. Prime rib was cold, no seasoning, nothing that would normally come with a prime rib and it was $55. Scallops did not taste good, parsley risotto very undercooked inedible. Wayne location has been better

Our lunch was perfect. The bartender/server, Ben, was helpful, didn't rush us and was just all around joyful and pleasant! The food was very good and plentiful. We'll be going back.

We went last night with another couple. The service was attentive. Our dinners were delicious and the crème brûlée was the perfect ending!Vegetarian options: Our table ordered the vegan burger and mushroom soup.
We went with another couple. The booth and chairs were very comfortable. The waiter greeted the table right away. We were able to hold a conversation and hear each other. The dinner was magnificent and was appealing to the eye. My husband and I both had the crème brûlée for dessert and it was the perfect ending to the perfect meal!
We all liked our food: BLT, oysters, onion soup, tuna tartare, mushroom side. The space is confortable.

we have been customers for many years. Based on poor service and mediocre food that was overpriced, who will not return any time soon. Very disappointed, especially since we took our friends to celebrate a special occasion. Nancy Gabel 610 649 0529

I brought my friends together to ask them to be in my bridal party and we had a great time. The restaurant is beautiful with details all around to look at. We had the brunch menu and I loved the BLT. Their truffle fries are fantastic. I'd go back for any occasion.

The place was adorable, and slammed. But despite running a little behind with reservations, they were accommodating and Jose, our server, was amazing. The food was unique and delicious (due to how slammed they were, a bit slow) and we will be visiting regularly when we are back in the area. Highly recommend.
