White dog hit all the boxes for me. The vibe was eclectic without being stuffy. I ordered the shrimp and grits, I could eat that dish over and over. The shrimp were huge but were not chewy. The table shared the warm ricotta donut fritters. These were the bite of the day! A must try if you're there for brunch. I also enjoyed a cappuccino and the basil bloody mary.

We sat at the bar and received excellent service from our bartender! He was very friendly and attentive, and made an excellent old fashioned. Thank you!

We had an early dinner reservation so we sat in a quiet spot. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I had the salmon and Brussels sprouts, my son had the lamb pasta and my hubby enjoyed the double burger. Everything was delicious; the buffalo chicken dip app was also good.

This has been our favorite restaurant since our daughter started at Villanova!! We've sat in every room and the food and service never disappoints! Last night Our waitress Sophia was an absolute doll. We started with oysters, tuna and french onion soup and The lamb bolognese is literally to die for! Thank you for always making our trip to Nova the best!

Great decor, including lighting, books hung from the ceiling and of course dogs' images everywhere. Enjoyed a mid-afternoon nosh!

Storm preparations included a date night at White Dog Café in Wayne. Its always delivers a dining experience that feels perfectly dialed in from start to finish. We’ve not been In a while and the moment you step in, you feel at home.
The atmosphere is flawless, warm, inviting, and stylish without ever feeling formal. It’s the ideal setting for everything from a casual night out to a special occasion. Service is equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and impeccably timed, making you feel genuinely cared for without being intrusive. All the courses were timed perfectly.
The cocktail program deserves special mention. Creative, well-balanced, and expertly crafted, the drinks are the perfect way to begin the evening and set the tone for what follows. (A perfect dirty vodka martini)
The appetizers are outstanding, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and the ideal prelude to the main event, the yellowfin tuna tartar I would highly recommend… And then we come to the cheeseburger, that famous line, “make me a cheeseburger”. Quite simply, one of the best on the Main Line. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and balanced in every bite, it’s the kind of burger that defines a restaurant (and you must include the spicy pickles and thick cut local bacon)
What truly ties it all together is the commitment to locally sourced ingredients. Every dish tastes fresher, more thoughtful, and more intentional because of it. White Dog Café continues to set the bar in Wayne with atmosphere, service, cocktails, and food that all come together in a truly memorable way that makes White Dog the perfect cozy night out for any occasion. We are thrilled about storm prep plans 🙂

The service was great and the food was phenomenal. We went there with a small group for my wedding rehearsal dinner. They gave us all a small appetizer to try and my wife and I each a glass of champagne on the house. We will absolutely be coming back next time we are in the area.
what an enjoyable dining experience we had. our waitress Deja was awesome, food excellent, room noise perfect, and pricing very acceptable. Highly recommend.

Their mushroom soup is the best—and their restaurants are in the mushroom capital of the United States!

Always a wonderful place. We went early for brunch, and it was quiet, exceptional service, and great food.

Went on Sunday brunch menu rather late. Had the fried pickles - fantastic. And the burger which is always terrific. Waiter was Jack and he was fun. Everything as lovely as always. My friends had never been and loved it

Our server was attentive and very nice, and had him before. Definitely makes for a positive experience at White Dog. I wish I knew his name to promote his good service better!
