Candlelight Inn | Our Story

The Wings That Built a Legend

Since 1955, the Candlelight Inn has served Westchester the same wings, at the same address, with the same no-frills pride. Some things are worth leaving exactly alone. But what's kept folks coming back for generations isn't just the wings. It's the feeling that you matter the moment you walk in. Whether you're a regular who knows the menu by heart or a first-timer who just heard we're "the best wings for miles," we keep your satisfaction in mind with every bite, every sip, and every smile. We're also proud of who we stand behind. Fire departments, police officers, and military foundations are our heroes, and giving back to them is part of who we are. When you pull up a chair here, you're part of a place that takes care of its community the same way it's taken care of its recipes: with heart, and for the long haul.

How It Started in 1955

The Candlelight Inn opened on Central Park Avenue in Scarsdale in 1955, and it never left. No reinventions, no rebrands — just a neighborhood spot that kept showing up and kept getting it right.

A Family Built on Service

Marine Corps, Army, generations of service. That same ethic — show up, do the job, take care of people — is what we bring to every table.

The Wings That Made Us

Westchester Magazine named us Best Bar Food two years running — but the hour-long waits say more than any award.

38 Seats, No Cards, No Apologies

Cash only, tight quarters, open until 2 AM every night — we are exactly what we look like. Regulars have been coming here for decades, and that's the only review that matters.

Taking the Legend on the Road

The food truck brings the same wings and spirit to new neighborhoods. We give back to fire departments, police, and military foundations — because that's who we are.
