The Four Dogs Tavern

Located a few miles west of West Chester Boro (I believe in Marshallton or West Bradford), stumbled onto this place by chance. Needing to meet Da Philly Food Critic for lunch, it was a convenient location that neither of us have been to prior.

I arrived and was pleasantly surprised by the outdoor patio. It was a nice day, so we sat outside. There's a fireplace on the patio that looks like it gets used. We'll have to come back when it's fired up.

There was a nice selection of beers, draft and bottled. We started with the fried oysters served with tarter and cocktail sauce. Lightly battered and very meaty. Next was the French Onion soup for Da Philly Food Critic. He gave it 2 thumbs up, I believe he said the best he's had. I had the black Angus burger and fries, both excellent. The fries were crispy and airy, just right. Da Philly Food Critic ordered fish and chips. It was served in a basket; I tasted the fish, it was light and flaky, better than I've had in England. Then we had desert: I had a homemade chocolate chip cookie, Da Philly Food Critic had brownie sundae. Good stuff.

Great food, good service, cool vibe.

I like it a lot, the fried oysters had a light batter to them. The brownie dessert was divine chocolate overload. And yes the french onion soup was the best I have ever had. Lots of good flavor and the artinasal cheese brought it all together. 4 dogs is definitely a sleeper in West Chester.
