    This was our first time dining at the White Dog Cafe in Wayne, and we enjoyed our experience. Kudos especially to our server, Rose, who was so lovely and helpful. Because of my ignorance, I ordered something that I did not intend to order, and she was so accommodating. She removed the item from our bill, in spite of it having been MY mistake, and she quickly brought me my new order, which was delicious. My husband enjoyed his entree, and we look forward to our next time at White Dog Cafe.

    The noise level was unacceptable. The toddler in the dining room was yelling nonstop. I feel bad for the staff but I also think something should have been done.

    Superstar server Rose was a delight as was the new summer brunch menu, which included the awesome cornbread we’ve been dying to eat again since last year. And the shrimp and grits was perfect. Great flavorings all around. Great day out with my momma. Our favorite place. And how can you miss being surrounded by puppers! It was quiet and peaceful bc it was a holiday weekend. So it was doubly enjoyable having the place almost to ourselves. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! Great staff!!
    White Dog Cafe - WayneResponded on July 8, 2025
    Anna, thank you for the wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you and your mom had an enjoyable experience with us on the holiday weekend. Our server Rose takes great pride in providing exceptional service, and we are thrilled that she added to your dining experience. The shrimp and grits and cornbread are two of our signature dishes, and we are glad you enjoyed them. It's always a pleasure to welcome our furry guests as well. We look forward to your next visit!

    The White Dog offers a reliable experience, I love the Mushroom soup and the tuna melt was especially creamy. I chuckle at all the dog portraits and our service was attentive.

    All in all, we had another pleasant experience at White Dog Wayne. Our server, Zoltan, was excellent: attentive without being obtrusive. The food was very good and significantly better than I remembered.

    Another great meal at White Dog. Was a little sad to see that the BLTA is no longer on the menu! That's my favorite. But the cheese curds were delicious and the beet and arugula salad was also delicious. Always a winner!

We hope to see you again soon! Scott Meermans, Manager
