Candlelight Inn, Scarsdale

I hear that this place has the best wings anywhere-- Any input on that? Are they open for lunch?

    Although I usually have the wings - the burgers are very good - as are the sliders.

      Is there a wait there even at weekday lunch?

        Yes - I had to wait 25 min, and it was passed lunch at 2:00. Perhaps 11:15 would be a good time if they are open that early.

          probably not a very long wait....you write your name on a list and they call you when a table opens up, its a decent system and it moves quickly...in the summer they have 3 more tables outside so it moves even faster then.

          also i have had their nacho's and they are great too

            It just dawned on me... I bet when I was there it was so crowded since the kids were on a break.

              Sounds like a nice cash cow for the owner...

                Especially since they don't take credit cards!

            I consider myself a wing expert too and I think they're the best in the Hudson Valley, however I know there are many places I haven't tried. But I've tried a bunch and feel that they are the best. They also have good other bar food to eat with the wings like onion wings and fries. Not sure about any of their other food like burgers, etc., but I'd venture a guess and say that it's all pretty good!

                I think Solstice means "onion rings", also the wings are served whole some people don't care for that.

                i can not put into words how much i enjoy candlelight. I consider myself a wing expert, and these are by far the best wings you will find in the area. the wings are large, cooked perfectly, and the sauce is excellent. Fast service gets you in and out quick, yes expect to wait for a table but i like to enjoy a cold beer at the bar while waiting....

                  I've been there, and would go back if I was in the area. I liked their wings, but they were large, and I much more prefer smaller wings. I was there on a weekday at 2:00 and the wait to get in was about 25 min. Expect to wait. I prefer the wings at Baily's more, (smaller size), and I love Bailey's screaming chicken sauce (on the side), however that being said, the screaming chicken sauce hasn't been the same on a few past visits.

                    I like their use of the word "Inn"...not even remotely like that, just a small bar and an adjoining room with tables.

                    As far as the wings go: they are very good. Best I've found in lower Westchester. Good sauce as well. I think they are open for lunch....in fact I'm sure of it. At least on weekends!

                    Have fun
