Was asking for the best wings in St. Augustine. Was not steered wrong! Came out hot and tasted very fresh. I got the Thai chili option. Partner had a burger. A few days later he is still talking about it. Just a real low key vibe, restaurant was filled with a mix of locals and tourists. I really enjoyed our server. She was so friendly and attentive. Didn't get annoyed that I had a lot of questions. Have never had a Hawaiian mule, it was strong and tasty. Great place!

Wow! Let me start by saying Best Wings I have ever tasted! I got a tip (from a local artist) that Candlelight is a must go to for locals and to order the wings Crispy -Hot -Parmesan! The bar service is great. Cold drinks a nice patio and Sporting events on the big screens inside. It's a good time! Don't be in a rush, excellence takes time! Take my word for it, order extra, you will want to take some wings home with you!

Today's lunch/dinner was the Firecracker Shrimp for starters. They were cooked perfectly and tossed into a sauce that had the flavor profile of spice, but to where my 5-year-old daughter ate them. And she doesn't eat shrimp! Gave her the "It's chicken," and she ate nearly the whole dish. The main course was the 5 (really 10) hot garlic parmesan wings with blue cheese. Complements to the chef that cooked up my meal! 15 out of 10. Will recommend it!

I would say yes, this is a great place for the sports bar experience. Great food, great service and great sports view environment. Yes, the wings are the feature dining food but tried something different and the Cheesy Dank Bowl is delicious . The Mac n cheese is done right, the Mac n Cheese alone is great but adding the chicken put my soul at ease. You can add any flavor to the chicken from not spicy to X-Hot, I choose Caribbean BBQ and BOOM , tastebud magic! Not a bad seat in the house for watch a sporting event or SportsCenter. Outdoor dining an option. Takeout an option but why with the great service. A walk across the Bridge of Lions from beautiful downtown St. Augustine. Don't believe me or other reviews, stop by n try. Taste and see the food is good.
