Ate here for an early dinner prior to a Penn basketball game. Two blocks from a subway stop down a small street with other bars and eateries. The place was eclectic as each room seemed like a small living room in someones house. They were all different and very warm and inviting. Service was quick and friendly. Decent wine list and we had appetizers that were all good. the cookie basket for dessert was great.

Loved it. panster, Trip Advisor

I visited White Dog Cafe for dinner. The decor is dog-themed - charming and warm. My server was nice but a little distracted by her other tables. My burger was exceptional! Everything on it was delicious and fresh. A little less mayo would have been nice; needed many extra napkins. Prices are high but in line with the quality of the food. This will be a "must" anytime I return to Philadelphia.

What a gem! kmoore9311, Trip Advisor

This is my new favorite place in Philadelphia. It is a warren of little dining rooms and bars all with a decor that celebrates man's best friend. The dog lover in me fell in love instantly. It is a farm to table restaurant and as such the menu changes seasonally. Great burger. But - I have to say my drink, Rin Tin Toddy was absolutely delicious. I had two of them and the waitress was kind enough to write down the recipe for me. They also have vegetarian and vegan options. Will definitely go back,on my next visit.
