Candlelight South Restaurant

Food was fine. Staff was very friendly. We stopped in after a concert. Thankfully, they were still open so we could grab a bite before getting back on the road. Nice beach bar/restaurant.

Food was delicious, Our service was good. Took a little bit to get all our food. Served it one or 2 lunches at a time with wait time in between. Our grandbabies felt it was loud inside. There is outdoor seating. We went on a Sunday. We had onion rings, burger, wings, chicken, and cheese quesadilla. No telling the issues we experienced were due to, but they handled it and we were happy and full when we left. Yum 😋

A loud ,more sports bar feeling place which is fine. But if you want a quiet evening this isn't the place for you. For food, we had a burger and the island (chicken sandwich). Both were good. My fries were a bit under cooked but they weren't horrible. Would definitely go back when in the area.

Had fried green tomatoes appetizer, was very good.

Main dish (blackened mahi mahi) was brought before even half done with appetizer. Was okay for what it is -- fish with a watered down glaze compensated with black pepper. Again, it was pretty good despite the description. Sides were okay.

Key Lime Pie for dessert was thicker than playdough and tasted chalky. There were chocolate sprinkle / shavings on it that made it even weirder.

Service was great, location was charming.

Staff is so kind and always on top of things! Amazing service and great food! Highly recommend 😊

We were extremely disappointed with our dining experience. This restaurant came highly recommended as having the best chicken wings in town, so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the hype.

Everything we ordered was overcooked, and in some cases, borderline burnt. The chicken wings were so tough and dry that I had difficulty tearing the meat off the bone—I even showed the waitress how hard they were. We also tried a few appetizers, but the quality was equally disappointing.

I ordered a pretzel, and it was so salty that it was practically inedible. For anyone with high blood pressure, I would strongly advise against ordering it. In fact, nearly every dish we tried was overly salty, which made the experience even more unpleasant.

Despite voicing our concerns, we were still given a full bill and ended up paying $78 for a meal that we could barely stomach. Most of it was left untouched—we tried boxing it up, but honestly, the food made us feel sick. This restaurant needs an inspection by restaurant inspectors. It was filthy. Im sure the food isnt safe.

We’re foodies who love exploring new restaurants and cuisines, especially American-style food, but this was far from what we’d consider quality. The food felt more like overly processed junk food than anything fresh or well-prepared. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

Every time I come here it’s great. I always get one of the two sisters. Simple food like wings/burgers but the drinks are strong but flavorful. The customer service is very friendly and quick

This place just delivers. No frills, just solid wings (extra extra crispy) and wonderful staff. That calamari was really good... Love those fried pepperoncini peppers.

Poor service and disappointing food.

We were a party of two and unfortunately had a very poor experience. It took about 12 minutes before our server even greeted us. She brought the menus but didn’t return for another 15 minutes just to offer us drinks, and never asked if we wanted any appetizers.

When our appetizers did arrive, we still hadn’t been given any utensils or napkins. I had to stand up twice to ask for them, even though they were visible on her station the entire time. She brushed it off with an excuse about waiting for the dishwasher, even though that clearly wasn’t the case. After that, she became noticeably cold and refused to make eye contact or address me directly — she only spoke to the person I was dining with, which felt extremely unprofessional and rude.

The food didn’t make up for the service either. The mozzarella sticks were overcooked and burnt, and the fries were dark brown, suggesting the oil hadn’t been changed in a while.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating from start to finish. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

I visited them on Wednesday, July 3rd 2025 around 7:30pm.

Hands down best spot to get wings I love the quality and quantity you get. The service is always on time and on point! Superior service and the nicest waitresses! I recommend anyone and everyone to give it a try! Whoever the cook is back there I salute you! Thanks for another amazing meal my mother is in town on vacation and never had your wings before and she is in heaven!!

Much love, Dillon
