The Candlelite Inn restaurant is a part of history in Arlington, Texas. Established in 1957 it was the first restaurant to offer pizza in Arlington. When the restaurant was in the small rock building next to the existing structure all they served was tacos, pizza, beer, and soft drinks.

An Arlington Institution! This place has been here since the 50's for a reason - great and varied menu and super friendly service! My mother says the guacamole is the best in the WORLD, and she eats a lot of guacamole! HAHA! Outstanding margaritas and super cold beers, too. Don't forget to grab a piece of cake or pie to take with you - they are home made by the manager's grandmother and are delicious!
I can honestly say, without hesitation, that the Candlelite Inn is my favorite restaurant in the world. I'm from Southern California, but every time I am in the Fort Worth area, I make multiple stops here. Why? Well, I've never had even an ordinary meal here--everything is outstanding, from the glazed pork chops (my favorite) and the amazing steaks to the burgers and the to-die-for homemade desserts. The service is great as well. Can't wait to go back!
The Candlelite is like going into a time warp. It is a great renovation on a classic piece of mid century commercial architecture from the days that US80 was the main drag between Fort Worth and Dallas but also a hub on the Bankhead Highway, the first coast to coast highway. The menu has three primary segments: steaks, TexMex, Italian. The steaks are ok; they aren't Del Frisco quality but certainly aren't priced that way either...
My husband and I were trying to figure out what to go eat for dinner and we thought of one of our favorite places that we haven't been to in a long time, only because it is a little far away. We decided to make the drive over and order our favorite.... nachos and spaghetti. We sat down in our booth and had one of the best waitresses you will ever have...
This place was where I took my first date in 1974. Was a favorite hangout for lunch and dinner throughout high school and college. I thought it had closed. I will be in DFW area (now live in Alaska) in December and have to get by for dinner. They always had good steaks for a reasonable price and always loved their spaghetti and meatballs.
