“Best pizza in the area and great antipasto too. Only the physical atmosphere left some to be desired.”

“Went there on 4/12/2026. Had a fish sandwich platter. It was very good and fresh. Had key lime pie for dessert that was pretty good. The waitress by contrast, had a bad attitude and gave my friend incorrect change. I may not return to this place just because of the attitude. There is another restaurant on the other side of the lake with better food and better servers.”

“Outstanding! We eat out breakfast a lot and Candelaria Eatery & Cafe is hands down the best restaurant we’ve tried. The coffee was truly amazing. Rivals the fanciest places we used to go to in NYC. The food is ridiculously delicious. I highly recommend the Arepa Ropa Vieja. I wish I could post pictures with this review. The restaurant is beautiful and super clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Very affordable too. I would expect to pay more for such a great experience. 5 stars!”

“We are so thankful we found a place that had all dye free ice cream. We rarely are able to tell our kids that they can choose whatever flavor they want, but here we were able to! Plus, the ice cream was delicious!”

“We tried, for the first time, the Lady Lake location today for lunch. It was fantastic! The service from the moment you walked through the door till you left was well beyond what I expected. The price of their food was great and the portions were large. It was super fresh and we found that when the crew lead came to our table asking us if we’d like a free sample of pulled pork, that it was smoked 14 hours the night before. That pork melted in your mouth! The flavor was really great and the different flavors of bbq sauce were impressive. The French fries are hand cut and fresh. They were delicious. They even gave us a free blueberry cobbler for being first timers and that was amazing! While there, the crew lead asked for everyone’s attention. He mentioned that there were two vets dining that afternoon who both were going to be 100 years old this year!! The outpouring of support, claps and cheer for these man who served was amazing! The crew lead thanked them and all those others for their service, shook their hands and you could feel the thankfulness in the room. What a great experience to have. Between the great food, amazing service and the true honor they show to those who served this beautiful county, they are a restaurant to visit time and time again! We’ll be back!”

“awesome staff! kelly rocks”

“We gave our name and were told, “30 minutes.” After one hour checked and were told, “7 ahead of you.” After one hour and 15 minutes were told, “2 ahead of you.” After watching 4 go ahead of us checked again. Manager said, “ thousands are checking in every day. We’re doing what we can.” After one hour and 45 minutes, and harassment from us, we were finally seated. Very poor experience.”

“Absolutely love this place! The food and service is fantastic.”
