Not wanting another lunch oit of the work cafeteria today I decided to turn to Yelp for ideas. The closest place was Candor Grill so I went down the street to give it a try. I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar wrap which came with kettle chips and a soft drink. The chicken in the wrap was plentiful and the lettuce was fresh. While I could have used a little more Caesar dressing the wrap was very filling. The chips had a light dusting of seasoning to give them a good flavor and there were more than I could eat. In total lunch ran me $14 which seemed a bit high for the meal but the quality and service was spot on which helped to offset my feelings on the cost. Yelp pro tip - don't rely on photos of menus unless they're current. Yelp has many photos of Candor Grill's menu and items that referrences the grilled chicken Caesar wrap as $7.95 except that was four years ago. I've added their current menu to help other Yelpers. read more

What a warm and welcoming place to eat. Morgan cheerfully greeted us. We enjoyed breakfast tacos and an eggs, bacon and biscuit meal that my wife described the eggs as perfectly seasoned, the bacon properly crisp yet with a slightly chewy texture that was just right--meaning it was great. The ambiance was nice. The place was immaculately clean. We found the prices very reasonable for breakfast, most meals were ~$9. Sorry that I forgot to take pictures of our meals, both looked great. Unfortunately, the diner is not easy to find. But it's still worth the visit. It's located within one of the buildings. Fortunately we spotted some of the feather flag banners they put out. I will happily recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Decent food, amazing environment/ decor, average service. American food Feels: I feel a little comfortable with this spot, open and simple to understand. Feels welcoming with great low volume music, warm interior and amazing sights outside. The menu is kind of boring. FOOD: the tacos were pretty good, $9 for 3. I had no problems until i tasted the sour nasty salsa... ew. Great presentation, small portion, eggs, sausage, cheese. Simple and effective. TO IMPROVE: I would appreciate other sides of sauce offered, every great restaurant needs chulula. Probably not offer salsa, i know they go bad quick. read more

I'm sure many people have described the Candor Grille by saying. "This is a hidden gem" in their review. But...I'm going to have to disagree. This is NOT a hidden gem. This my friends, is a DIAMOND MIND!! Gordan Ramsey himself would be in utter ASTONISHMENT!! and bow his head in shame while comparing his cuisine to this place's. The food, ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURES! The flavor you ask? ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS, and actually TASTES like the food it looks like!... yeah I was in awe myself. Service you ask?.. I actually believe they must staff real psychics. I'm a real finicky eater ya see, and my entire order was (drum roll) EXACTLY what I ordered. From my request of "NO" salted fries, (try to get that anywhere else, and watch the faces drop when you request this.) to NOT too sweet, NOT too sour, lemonade. Oh...the ambience is such a stress relieving experience (especially dining outside) under some of nature's beautifully huge trees with a vast canopy of foliage that simply gobbles up any would be rays of sun looking to simply ruin the experience. NOT happening... Trust me. My review is not just talk. The Candor Grille is "The REAL deal! See you there!! read more

This place is almost like a hidden gem!! I wanted a convenient spot for me and a friend to meet up for breakfast. When I pulled up to the office building, I seriously thought the GPS took me to the wrong address. But, you walk around to the back, and there it is! Such a cute little spot! We got there at 10am on a Wednesday and we were the only patrons. It was so quiet and quaint. It almost feels like being in a relatives kitchen and some of the tables have simple board games that the whole family can enjoy, like checkers and such. I imagine the limited menu is due to it being a smaller joint and off the main road. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. The food was delicious and made fresh to order. It's a silly thing, but the free lemon slice infused water was LITERALLY the best water I have ever tasted!! I ordered the 3 breakfast tacos with a side of breakfast potatoes and my friend ordered a veggie omelet. Everything was delicious! I don't eat much, so I brought the leftover two tacos home and both my kids were amazed at how good they were asked where I had gotten them. The staff were very accommodating to our requests and the staff is very friendly, coming by our table every so often to check on us, even though it's not the type of restaurant where you sit down and order. Highly recommended!!!! read more

It was great to rediscover this restaurant again. Nice, clean and open restaurant. Food was freshly made and came out in a timely manner. Great place for a healthy light lunch. The restaurant appears to be running efficiently even with a small staff. I ordered the chicken wrap that usually comes with fried chicken but I substituted it for grilled chicken and it was a $1 up charge for fries. My friend ordered the chicken cesar wrap which was good with the exception of the chicken being dry. They have chessboards at some of the tables which patrons weee observed to be playing read more

I've been in the area for a longgggg time and had no idea this place even existed until a buddy of my (fellow yelper Ryan) told me about it! He always has good suggestions so we decided to try it out today. To my surprise everything was fresh and cooked to order. Nice outside area to eat. But the inside is where it shined. They have games you can play at the tables while you wait. So we had a nice game of chess! They had checkers and tic tac toe as well, connect four etc. Now the food itself was good! I got the usual cheeseburger with French fries and a fountain drink. Only 10 bucks. Fries tasted house made and very fresh! The burger, same thing! As usual pics below! read more

No complaints. Beautiful lush landscaping around the building. All of our food was good. We were looking for a quick stop off of 75 that was not fast food. This checked all of the boxes. The kids loved the table board games and the service was great. The girl at the counter was new but she was so kind and knew what she was doing. If she didn't say she was new, I would have never known! read more

Candor Grille - BLT with homemade chips! - Cafes Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Some how ended up in this office complex after a meeting down the road with a contractor. This place is the real deal -- usually office park restaurants lack quality. This place had a fresh amount of office park employees moving through the restaurant, usually an indication the eats are good. We all were pleasantly surprised of the food quality and quickness of the service. I had a tuna wrap which I had toasted and with a side of the house made chips. Everything was delicious. The people were friendly. read more

Candor Grille has been a go to, easy lunch spot for me. The prices are decent and the food is good. I like to order the Buffalo chicken wrap that has hearty pieces of chicken. It comes with a side of kettle chips. I also like their potato salad and a side is actually a healing portion. read more

We stopped by on Friday about noon and were waited on right away. We ordered at the counter Buffalo wrap and Caprese panini. We waited about ten minutes and our sandwiches and home made potato chips were brought to us. The buffalo wrap was good but could have used some more chicken. The Caprese panini was very good toasted with the homemade chips. The drinks are self serve with free refills. The atmosphere is very open and light with wooden games on the table. It also was very clean. We will be back for a quick sandwich and maybe try some of the others. read more

Was visiting the area and found this cute place with great reviews on Yelp. Difficult to find with very minimal signage so that was very confusing. It's in a business complex and took a little driving around. Food was fast, hot, and good and is more like an upscale cafeteria. I enjoyed my chicken quesadilla and sweet potato fries. The guacamole was amazing! Cute games are on the table to play and the service was great. I'm not giving it 5 stars because they need to be more specific about how to find it. And, there is no bathroom which is confusing. It seems like they cater to the employees of the business offices so I guess the eat and use the restrooms at their offices. read more

It's always a must for me to eat here at least once while I'm on leave. It's a small place nestled in the breathtaking greenery and shade that doubles as a great view! The food here is always fresh and made to order. While you wait, you have an array of different board games like chess, mancala, tic-tac-toe, etc. chill music plays in the background to soothe your mood and the dining area is always immaculate. 10/10! read more

Great food, great service. Maybe a bit pricey, but food costs are up along with everything else these days.

Had an omelette with sausage, peppers, and onions with the fresh fruit cup. It was outstanding!

Fantastic!! The customer service is amazing. Disclaimer; I came here at 7:30 as soon as they opened so it was not busy. They have lots of options on the menu and even if they don't offer something, they will try to make you whatever you want. I asked for avocado toast, which is not on the menu but they were able to give me avocado and some toast. Everything was very fresh and again I must reiterate the customer service was amazing, very friendly staff even at 7:30am- which in my book is a miracle! It is not easy to find if your not familiar with the area, I drive around the parking lot a few times before I saw it because it's at the back of the building and there are no signs on the front of the building. There is plenty of parking near the building once you know where the entrance is and they aren't far from the door. read more

Ok, breakfast or lunch in an office park may sound weird, but this is not a regular place in a regular office park! We are from CT and wanted to give this place a shot. Let me just tell you, the atmosphere is cozy and hipster vibe.. with checkers, chess and other board games on the table with fresh flowers. The food? Tremendous! Eggs Benedict was DELICIOUS and very generous portions. My husband had the 2 eggs over easy with bacon and toast! Huge portion of bacon! They have a water detox station with berries and mint if you like this kind of thing! The place was spotless, the staff very friendly and the surroundings are lush tropical gardens.. you have to try this place!!! You wont be disappointed! read more

I'm very irritated this this awesome place has been hiding under my nose for this long. I've been working within a 1 mile radius of this place and subjecting myself Taco Bus, bad Chinese, and take away salads from Publix for too long at work. Surprisingly, this is located in one of the office buildings within the Highland Oaks complex. This is no ordinary office cafe. It's good enough to stand on it's own as great casual cafe, and I believe they have a location in Riverview as well. The decor is super hipster with iron pipes, wooden seating, a few armchairs, and games tossed in for an indie-coffee shop vibe. The breakfast menu looks good enough for a Sunday brunch, let alone something to shove down your throat to make it through the morning. I came here with a coworker for a quick lunch. We drove here instead of walking the 7 minutes because of the rain. There was lots of parking though. You walk in, stand in line to make your order, and are told that they will bring you your food. There wasn't any sign to put on your table like Panera. Our order taker just knew whose food was whose. I did notice that there were lots of people who seemed to call ahead to pick up the food. We chose to eat in and take a the rare opportunity to eat off (melamine) plates instead of Styrofoam. It always seems to be a very calming thing to eat a meal off a plate with forks and knives, especially in the middle of the work day. I ordered the Crab Avocado salad but had them switch out the lettuce and berry vinaigrette with spring mix and balsamic. I like that as they type in the order, you see a screen with your order including the customization. I wasn't charged extra for my changes, which I appreciated. I treated my friend and our meal for two was $35 (Meal was slightly over $30 and Tip was the rest). I didn't care for the automated percentages that you have to choose when you're in a rush. Service was nice was but not sure if I would tip %15 ($4.51) for bringing my food to the table and that's it. My friend ordered a cheat meal: Club Sandwich, fries, and potato salad just to up the carb factor. He scarfed it down and gave a thumbs up. My meal was just perfect. I love eating salad that I could never make at home. While technically I could, it just never seems to be worth the extra ten minutes when I'm hungry. It was definitely worth the $14 as it was full of chilled Crabmeat vs Krabmeat. Everything was seasoned very lightly to let the sweetness of the crab be the star. Using avocados as the "cup" was a great idea because it was mild enough to not compete with the Crabmeat but heavy enough to provide body to the meal, ensuring I wasn't hungry in 45 minutes. I appreciated that they didn't drown my salad in dressing. Usually I remember to ask servers to put it on the side, but I was distracted talking shop to my coworker. Restaurants seem to think people want to use dressing to hide the taste of the salad, I suppose. I may check out their Riverview location just to sample their breakfast and dinner offerings. read more

Brand new neighborhood favorite! We had the Cabo Shrimp for our appetizer and it was refreshing and savory with perfectly cooked shrimp. For our main dish we had the Asian lettuce wraps and the stuffed baked potato with bbq brisket. Both were amazing and I couldn't eat all of my stuffed potato. We took cheesecake home for dessert. Wait staff was super friendly and attentive. So happy there's a new place close by to have a good glass of wine and enjoy yummy cooking. Thanks Elaine and Mike! read more

The food n service were great!! But need better markings to find it! Well worth the trouble to find it!!

This restaurant is a short walk from my job. I was a little skeptical about trying it just because it is just connected to t side of some office buildings but I was actually pleasantly surprised. Everyone in my job always gives this place good reviews but its also one the only things close to us. Today I tried the Crab stuffed avocado. I chose it because it was a nice healthy alternative and it was made up of two of my favorite things. I could eat both crab and avocado every day so having it here together was awesome. the avocado was perfectly ripe and the crab was fresh. They even give you a berry vinaigrette to drizzle over top and it adds a nice flavor contrast. I will definitely come back for this in the future. read more
