Got there very late after a long day and the staff could not have been more pleasant. Good gluten free options. No Guinness but great beer tap, bar and smooth stout alternative. Food was terrific as was the service. Right on south side Lancaster Road on the west side of town and easy to miss if not careful. Well worth... More

The atmosphere is like must pubs; hard to hear yourself talk. The food choices very varied and very good. The service was good and the price somewhat higher than we expected. We had dessert and it was a great way to top off the meal I would highly recommend this place for small groups.

I ordered a hamburger, medium rare, and it arrived very dry. The french fries were cold and I didn't eat them. The bed of lettuce had wilted leaves, slightly spoiled around the edges. I paid $17.00 for that hamburger.

My daughter spotted this restaurant while in the area visiting colleges. The atmosphere is comfortable chic. The food is locally sourced and organic. Very innovative menu selections. Delicious fare. Our server was very nice and welcoming. Highly reccommend this restaurant if you want to have great food in a homey atmosphere!

We have been here a few times in the past just for drinks and apps at the bar but decided to go for dinner. It was very good and the atmosphere was fun, server just a little snooty. The bartenders have always been great so I was surprised by the attitude of our server. We will return but most likely... More

We have eaten here for lunch before which was good, but not terrific and rather over priced. We decided to try Sunday Brunch and it was disappointing to say the least. Atmosphere is okay. Be careful where you sit because if you are in front of a window you will cook, it's so hot. The room that looks like a... More

The White Dog Cafe in Wayne, PA is a mix of hip, tradition and "buy local". It has a good bar and a crowd that is there just for that, the food is great and you can sit in the "kitchen room" which is typical of a busy, slightly noisy New York restaurant or sit in the library for a... More

Third time here for drinks and some food at the bar with friends. Bartenders are not attentive, have an attitude (saw it "used" on others and very stingy with "thank-you's." Food is decent at the bar but portions VERY small. Too bad because the vibe is chic but the bar tenders buzz kill ended it quickly. Hope they implement a... More
