    Country omelet
    Michelle D.

    The ambience, the service, the food was all outstanding. It was our first time here but I will definitely be back. The omelet was great and so was the ABLT with egg. We all loved all the dog pictures around to look at as well. I can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner to try something else on the menu.

    I want to just say Amazing service from our waitress. I went to white dog for the first time this past Sunday 02/15/25. We have a group of 8 for a birthday brunch. I was super impressed with how friendly the staff was. With valentines holiday the restaurant was definitely slammed. Even with it being like that our waitress took her time and explained everything on the menu to us and was super patient. On top of that the food was spectacular. You can't go wrong with anything.

    Beet and goat cheese salad
    Ahashta J.

    Really good experience. The decor was interesting, the dog theme is really fun. Stopped here for a quick weekday lunch, was seated right away and service was attentive. Really appreciated the recommendations which were excellent picks. I enjoyed the watermelon martini which was delightful. The goat cheese and ricotta spread with hazelnuts, strawberries and balsalmic drizzle with toast was very tasty. More salty/ savory than anticipated. The beet and goat cheese salad was decent, not the best that I've had. The special for the day was a meatball sandwich, with a lovely creamy tomato sauce, delicious! I would definitely recommend and plan to return.

    We had an underwhelming dinner at White Dog. Based on the bill, I would have expected a better meal. The food was ok, but felt like it was missing something. We started with the tuna tartare and the French onion dip. Both were delicious and were probably the best part of the meal. For entrees we had the lamb London broil, which was unevenly cooked and well overcooked on one end. It was served with a tomato and cucumber salad which ended up being an insubstantial meal for the price. We also had the sea bass special, which was good, but felt incomplete. The waiter also described the dish incorrectly. Overall, the service was slow and subpar. Again, it wasn't necessarily bad, but it wasnt good. Plates weren't cleared, dishes were described incorrectly, and the meal was slow to progress. Even with a 7:15 reservation we weren't seated until almost 7:45. The atmosphere is energetic and has a great vibe overall. They really leaned into the dog theme and the restaurant has a great feel because of it. Each of the rooms have a different theme which makes for a fun experience.

    Avocado BLT*

    I could spend all day in here if they would let me! The decor alone is enough to keep you entertained. The food was out of this world...every bite was a 10/10. I would go back for the mushroom soup. And I will cry about the fact that I can't make it for myself at home. Deviled eggs were perfect, that touch of caviar hits the spot and the crunch wasn't too overwhelming. You can tell they were made with love. Buttermilk waffles were surprisingly good, I'm not a fan of pumpkin but my server recommended them, and she was on point. Avocado BLT was very well done, not too much to fit in a sandwich. Paired with the best truffle fries I've ever had. And the ricotta doughnuts for dessert was the move for us. Warm, with a delicious sauce on the side that completed its place in my heart. My only complaint is that there is no white dog cafe in Florida, but I don't blame them. Would 1000% come back here if I'm ever in the area again!

    Came here when visiting a friend. She's been here before and had great service, which was the biggest issue with tonight was our service and what I remember the most. Our server seemed annoyed when she did check in on us. It started ok with drink orders but then all the drinks came separately (and in terms of drinks, we had to ask multiple times for water refills!) ... one of the girls in our party wanted the spicy margarita with normal tequila instead of spicy. The first time, it came out fine. The server asked if she wanted another then it came spicy. She did fix this (once we got her attention) but they didn't give a heads up that there would be a $5 upcharge for normal tequila instead of spicy. Did not expect this! Seems excessive and also should have been mentioned. The appetizers were great. Big fan of the general tsos cauliflower. Probably best item of the night! Entrees were a different story. 3 of us ordered sides and none of them came out. Our server never came to check on us and I had ordered the short ribs and wanted to eat them with my Brussels sprouts. We had to flag down another server (very nice gentleman!) to ask him to get our waitress. When she came back she was rude asking us what the problem was. She said there was a mix up with the sides but I anticipate she never put the orders in. We had 3 different sides so I doubt there was an issue with one not being available. But regardless, she never apologized for the issue and then we had to eat them with cold entrees. I appreciated her having those comped but again, was just rude about the misunderstanding. My friend has had great experience here before. The place seems like a relaxing, fun atmosphere with all the dog themed touches just wish we had better service!

    Service and food here is really good. First visiting the Wayne establishment. The drink menu is awesome too. The vibe is very nice, there are many rooms and outdoor seating. I suggest you make reservations it was crowded when we went. I would definitely come back to try other meals on their menu.

    my stacked Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Sara J.

    I dined here with my family during the week for lunch the week of Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint. Everything from the decor to the food to the service was phenomenal. I'm a huge dog lover so I immediately fell in love with this spot the second I stepped foot into the front door. Even though it was busy, our server never forgot about us and checked up on us regularly. My family and I shared a dozen oysters and we each had our own entree. We appreciated that all of our main courses arrived exactly at the same time. My fried chicken sandwich was delicious and juicy. I can't wait to return when I visit my parents again.

    Patio
    Lizzy S.

    Lovely, spacious patio dining on a gorgeous evening. Service was fast and friendly, despite being quite busy on a Friday night. Dog, group, and family friendly in an upscale environment. Love that they prioritize local ingredients and beverages! Happy hour deals are the way to go - we were starving and ordered a bunch of plates and were so satisfied. Do NOT miss the mushroom soup, they're known for it and it is unreal, with local Kennet square mushrooms. Oysters were so fresh and good!

He started making my chocolate shake immediately, and that was delivered promptly but that's the best I can say about it. It was woefully small, not even coming close to the rim of the small to go cup. I declined the whip cream, so possibly they leave an extra space for that, but this was a joke at over six dollars. Nifty-fifty's shakes cost a dollar more but are roughly triple the size. The chocolate shake seemed like vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, or possibly chocolate ice cream with too much milk. it was really watered down and utterly disappointing. My burger and fries took almost 20 minutes to come out. I'm guessing they were short staffed as there were numerous people waiting for to go orders. The server apologized for the wait and the food was tasty. Fries were hot and the burger fresh off the grill. Besides the shake, and the wait time, the price is a bit discouraging as well. It was roughly $26 for the meal, with tip. Although this is a sign of the times, I think it's still pricey for the product, especially that little shake. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the other burger options.

We all liked our food. I thought they might start slacking with it being about a hour until they closed, but the food was good. The actual burger was the least exciting part of my sandwich.
