Great wings and great service. Top notch for what you would expect from a sports bar.

Amazing food. Probably the best wings I've ever had in my life. And their jalapeño cheese sauce and ranch are to die for as well. The staff was very friendly and our waiter even went and made chocolate milk for our son even though they didn't have any pre made. The only thing that sucked about it is that we're from Daytona and now we're gonna wanna come back all the time! Definitely will be back! read more

Large group to watch a football game. Our waitress forgot to put some of our food order in, didn't bring the drinks that were reordered (numerous times), never filled water glasses, and my husband had to chase down the bill. She was too busy chatting at another table. To top it off, the food was terrible. We are local but will go out of our way to watch sports elsewhere. Ick read more

In a word - excellent. The rice bowl was fresh, healthy, and delish. Garlic parm wings were all world. And Dogfish Head IPA on tap. Price was surpisingly low for fresh food. Nice people too. Will be back. read more

Food was ok but took an hour to come out after we ordered. Burger was also cooked to well done even though I ordered medium.

First time eating here. Will definitely come back very good wings. Service and ppl that work here are very friendly.

Tonight, on the 4th of July, we had one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. The service was absolutely horrible and the food was mediocre, came out wrong and way over priced. The waiter was unconscious, rude and defensive. First, it took him over 15 minutes to take our order, then he served 2 of 5 meals. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I flagged down another person, who happened to be the owner, asked where the other meals were, he defended the waiter. Two of the meals was not what we ordered and he never brought the salad. Then, I asked for the check, so we could go to fireworks show. It took 2 reminders and an additional 15 minutes. The customer is always right, but not in Candlelight. No one apologized or took responsibility for the mistakes. We will not eat there or recommend anyone, accept Yankee fans, you'll love it. read more

The food was pretty pretty good. The place was clean. The service was good. Here comes the but! My wife had the chicken philly but was kind of greasy and said would have been better with no peppers and add mushrooms. My son and I had wings. If you like big, wet wings that come whole this place is for you. They tasted good but they were served as a whole wing not a flat and drumette but a whole wing. Just not for me. They were also loaded with sauce. Another thing I don't really care for. Had so much sauce when I pulled the wings apart sauce flipped off and sprinkled onto my shorts. Again not the worst I have ever had but not the best. Just don't think I can go back. And just one of those places that the atmosphere just doesn't feel right. Hate to be so critical just not a place I was wowed by! read more

WOW! Fantastic Wings and Great Service-- They have a flavor for everyone. We went to Candlelight South on a Friday night and could not believe the choices of seasonings - we tried 4 - Teriyaki, Buffalo, Barbecue, and Parmesan and Garlic. We tried the Sweet Potato fries and they were Fantastic! Be careful in how many wings you offer because this place really gives you your money's worth - full wings with the drum and wing together - Yummy, but filling. We got 10 and two different sauces. Loved the different beers to chose from as well. A relaxing and very casual place -- jeans and sweaters were in order. read more

Candlelight is always a solid option. I have been here many times, and will say the wings are the best option on the menu, always great, the wings are connected at the joint so if you order 3 wings it's really 6. They come with delicious house sauces, from spicy to sweet to salty to garlicy. I would always recommend these. This time though, we decided to get salads. Richard got the Cobb salad, which he said was one of the best Cobb's he'd ever had. Our wonderful waitress, Chelsea, suggested pairing it with the avocado ranch dressing, which went together great. I got a Caesar salad with spicy chicken. The chicken was breaded and fried, much like the wings, then rolled in Buffalo sauce. This was an interesting idea with the Caesar but was pretty good. My only issue with our visit came when I asked Chelsea for extra Caesar dressing and croutons, she had no problem with the Caesar but said that the kitchen didn't feel like making croutons today, which is a pretty easy thing for the kitchen to handle. All in all it was a good experience. read more

Best chicken wings in town. The name makes it sound like fine dining but it is a sports bar. Several draft beers and wings are just a start. They are famous for their waffle fries as well. This is the son of the famous New York Candlelight inn. Reasonable prices great food. read more

Food is pretty good but service is SLOW! Place had hardly any business. Almost 25 mins to get served at lunchtime.

Service was lousy. Our waiter forgot to give me my drink. It took a long. Time to get our food. Food was mediocre at best. Kind of bland and tasteless. Price wasn't that bad. read more

So, with all the competition up and down this stretch of A1A, you have to have good food and provide great service. Unfortunately Candlelight offers neither. We stopped in to watch a college game on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was about 60% full. However, it still took forever to get a drink. We actually watched the bartender pour about two pints of Guinness down the drain in his attempts to pour just one glass! It took 20 minutes to get that beer by the way. Our "surfer dude" waiter constantly wandered off without returning. So we often had empty beers. When he did show up, Instead of walking around our high top to set down own drinks, he just leaned across our table and handed things off! He never once walked around the table to set things down properly. The food: my $8.00 plus burger was cooked to the wrong temp and was tiny for the money. The fries were a nasty cheap Cysco brand crinkle cut and cold when served! We had some wings that were tasty and the nachos were ok. But you can get that anywhere. The waiter never once cleared empty plates or bottles from the table. We had to ask someone else to please clear the table and for a box for leftover wings. We wanted to hang out and enjoy the rest of the game but instead went to Hoptinger where it is lively and the service is great! It feels like the ownership wants to do things right here.....and yes, good help is hard to find. But staff should at least be trained in the basics like how to address the customer and how to wait on tables. In the end, there is no reason to ever go back here again. We always try to support locals, but they need to at least make an effort to win over the locals. There are dozens of better choices within a 3-4 mile radius. read more

Worst service I've encountered in a long time. Staff, except for the owner, were in the kitchen all the time. When we arrived, we were the only customers. 45 minutes for a burger and a pork chop. Burger was very good. Pork chop was inedible. Mashed potatoes and gravy were cold. Asked for replacement. 15 minutes later, gave up. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen today. Our server should be fired. read more

Poor food and poor service! Do not waste your time! Lady at the door was not accommodating when we showed up.

Great restaurant and incredible staff. Met the owner, George, and he and his staff took great care of us. I had wings, and they were outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been getting wings from here ever since this place opened up. I have always gotten take out, but never ate in the restaurant until last month. My family and I went there for dinner. Every time we come to St. Augustine I like to try to get their wings because hands down they are the best, and remind me of the Anchor Bar in buffalo. Well, that evening they had some serious employee issues going. I mean it was pretty darn bad. We could hear yelling, cursing (F-Bomb) in the kitchen, and slamming stuff around, and it was loud. Our waitress was crying, and wouldn't come check on us for huge gaps of time, and finally just disappeared which was disturbing. It took forever to get our food. I think who ever was in the kitchen caused a huge hold up, messed all the orders up. We had to be waited on by another guy who didn't know what we ordered and had to take our order again after 20 minutes of waiting for our food. It was pretty awful, uncomfortable, and just a lot of inappropriate things going on like people from the kitchen coming out into the dining area to discuss the kitchen issues dropping the F-bomb, and I had little kids with me. I don't want to hear that!!! I wanted to leave but I didn't want to get anyone at my table upset or bring anymore attention to the situation. This was Not a good experience. I always order buffalo wings and they are always great. However, my husband ordered some type of wing that was coated with a seasoning that was so salty they were inedible. It was like they just dumped out a container of Slap Yo Mama Spice and completely THICKLY coated the wings in it. My buffalo wings were great and the waffle fries are awesome. Everything else ordered is inconsequential because you go there for the wings. I won't go there and eat EVER again because of the situation that was going on and how it just never seemed to get resolved over the entire time we were there and we were there much too long. I heard a waiter explaining to another table what happened and apologizing but we never got that. No apology, no how was your meal, we couldn't even get a refill of our drinks and we were eating Hot wings for Gods Sake. If it weren't for the fact that the wings are great, and there is no denying that, I would have given this place a one star if even that. I will, however, continue to order TAKE-OUT ONLY!!!!! and suggest that anyone who wants great buffalo wings do that and not expect a nice dining experience by eating in the restaurant. read more

Keep hearing about the wings but I haven't tried them. Been twice. First time the bartender didn't know much about the beer selection, ordered a burger Medium, came out well done. Nice size burger, good flavor, just way over cooked. Second time came in there was no bartender, apparently she was running late. Ordered steak tacos, not a good choice, Meat was very fatty, romaine lettuce was not washed and had chunks of mud in it. Inedible. I would fire a line cook for serving dirty, unwashed produce. That is a health hazard waiting to happen and chances are that if he's serving dirty lettuce at lunch time he'll be serving it all day long which means every person who orders something with lettuce today will likely not be a repeat customer. Not a great business model. And if the line cook is young or inexperienced I would fire the kitchen manager for running a sloppy crew and not training his/her staff. Location and building have potential but management/leadership is obviously non existent. read more

You need to go here! Best wings in Florida hands down have had Birthday here and they go out of there way to make it a special and great experience every time not to mention football games! This place is the absolute best read more

Just had the best eggs Benedict I've ever had! We've been going for wings and burgers but now I'll be going for brunch! They have one heck of a chef who makes so many things from scratch. I'll keep going back! read more

I hate to give this review even one star. After sitting for 10 minutes and being ignored by the only two servers on the floor, we got up and walked to the door. One of the waitresses track is to the door and pleaded to be given a second chance. After reading other reviews on the site this place needs to fire "surfer dude" he is bad for business. He constantly ignored us. read more

This is just the perfect place! Pete is the best server...he really takes care of his customers. Be sure and ask for him. George the owner is awesome. It's the best place in at Augustine! Just comfortable, peaceful and friendly. It's the best! read more

Amazing buffalo wings! The hot was medium to me and the extra hot was just hot. They fry the wings connected at the joint so you have to commit to two at a time. Very saucy. The fries are standard frozen bagged fries. read more

Best wings I've ever had! The rice bowl was excellent too. Great place with an awesome vibe. Always has the game on that we want to watch!

Food was mediocre at best. Jasmine our waitress was awful and couldnt get a simple order of onion rings out before our dinner. And confronted her on her forgetting out order and she said "the cooks are getting around to it" what does that mean? Manager did take that off our tab but the bet part was getting our bill closed out by the bartender because the waitress was horrible!!!!!!! read more

First things first....the so called 'award winning' wings were GREAT and actually could win some award...! Almost worth the sorta high price at $9.00 for 5 wings....though they are both the flat and drummie joined, and are quite large wings. The extra hot sauce was right on & lots of it and the wings were crispy. NOW....the 'rest of the story...! At lunch there were only 4 tables and I waited 15 minutes for an order to be taken.....then over 45 minutes for the wings to appear! (In passing by later at 'happy hour' the parking lot was EMPTY!) If you're under ANY time concern, forget this place! The 'basket of fries' was soggy, cooled frozen fries right out of the Sysco food service bag. At $3.50 I refused them. The waitress was an older lady (Meg??)who seemed to be walking around in a daze. Slow does not begin to describe her 'service'. She knew nothing about the food and offered as explanation....."I just plug in the order and serve what comes out. I don't cook the food, honey,,,!" She couldn't seem to grasp the idea that I wanted my beer with the food, not before....as in not wanting beer on an empty stomach. As a result I finally got my beer halfway through the wings when she remembered....! As well, the prices in this place are all way too high (could explain the lack of business!)....and you pay for any/all extras you might want. Food and especially beer prices are WAY too high for the area, silly bad service.....buy hey.....the wings WERE good.....! read more
