Came here on the Keeshan from New York and the staff was very friendly very informative and the food was spectacular. We came on a Tuesday when the regular price for crabs is 4999 we got it for 30 bucks with 2 pounds. This place is kid friendly. Love love love it. read more

My husband I came here with some friends. My husband shared the 2lb crab. It was only our 2nd time eating crab. It was pretty good, although I wish we had more lemon on the side. The food was good, but it wasn't the best. But I enjoyed the service and the overall atmosphere. read more

Excellent local spot. Good for tourists too. Wide menu selection, good specials, great wings and top notch service.

service was super friendly, very family centric kind of spot. if you like touristy spots this one is for you!

Delicious seafood at an affordable price. The service is incredibly attentive and provided great recommendations. The Cajun Mahi Mahi was delicious and the perfect serving size. Loved the laid back, low key atmosphere this restaurant offered. read more

Many come here for "all you can eat crabs." As for me, their standard fish sandwich is one of the best in this area. When you are there, you feel like you are with family. read more

Expect a wait no matter what time you show up. Food was excellent, staff was a little slow. Had crab legs, they were good, asked for garlic butter, got plain butter. Wish they would have put a little spice on those crab legs when they cooked. Would eat again. read more

I got the surf and turf with an extra cluster of snow crab legs to go while in town on vacation and took it back to my hotel. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time and if I find myself in the area again, I'll definitely be going back! read more

Great seafood restaurant right across the street from a public beach. Only if I was cool enough to be one of the old regulars at the bar. Friendly staff and great food. I had the local mahi mahi Cajun style sandwich. So good. I'm from Louisiana and like blackened fish. This fish was awesome! One of the others at my table had the boiled shrimp which she did not let anyone else have as she really enjoyed and ate all of it. A great stop at a good value for what you ordered. read more

The Charlie Horse was recommended to us by the bartender of another restaurant. They are famous for all you can eat crab legs for $37.99; but on Tuesdays they have Crabby Tuesdays where you can get 2 lbs of crab legs with a side for $19.99, and if you want more they can upgrade you to the all you can eat. Believe me that 2 lbs of crab legs are a LOT; and that's about all we could hold. The wait here can be a little long to get a table, because it is not a very big place, but it is pretty popular with visitors and locals. The service here was pretty good, they were nice and friendly and took good care of our party of 8. read more

We were visiting Ormond beach stopped in for dinner. The meal was pricey & the food was bland. I had the steak recommended & greens. The kids nuggets were bland as well slightly disappointing. read more

Really liked the clam chowder! A perfect meal...we sat at the bar and it was a friendly, local feel.

Found this place on Yelp. It definitely lives up to the hype. The shrimp and peel was the best! Fresh, hot and came quick. I also ordered shrimp alfredo. People were great food was great. Great place to go of your in the area. read more

we stopped in on a Friday night for our first visit here, we had about a 20 minute wait. Once we got to our table the server was nice and attentive. We ordered the onion rings as an appetizer and they were fantastic! Their tea was not so good, we sent it back and opted for Cola instead. I ordered the cajun chicken pasta. When the waitress brought it out it looked dry to me but it was actually very good. The seasoning was just right as was the amount of sauce. My husbands ribs were good but he said the fries weren't so great. Nice atmosphere, we would go again if in the area. read more

Family friends and high quality food. Service is excellent. For the home town feal for fresh local seafood and crablegs or even a burger or steak!!! They have it all at the Charlie Horse. Thanks guys read more

Ok, I have to knock off a star for the shear sticker shock of my favorite dish here. We have been planning our trip to this place for half a year. We had been in town for a few days so I figured it was time... Myself and my kids went today for an early lunch, to my surprise I found that their all-you-can-eat Alaskan Snow Crab legs were priced at $64.99 instead of what I expected; a small increase from the $38.00 they were last time. Apparently this is not entirely their fault, I understand it's a market thing, but wow. Anyway, I also gathered that this might be the last year for it based on the feel I got from the staff. So, you only live once, so we proceeded to get what we came for. Now, from this point the experience was what I expected. The service was great, the food was excellent. I'd say we got our money's worth regardless of the steep price tag. read more

We experienced excellent service at the Charlie Horse, food was a bit better than average. I will say that everyone in our party felt that they got their money's worth. We had quite a few "take home" containers to schlepp to the car. Nothing bad to report- just seemed like an average dining experience. read more

We've been eating here for years! Love Charlie horse's wings. Great sauce and they actually know what "crispy" means. Only downside is it can be a bit warm inside but hey, your at the beach. read more

Staff was friendly and the food is great. We enjoy the atmosphere and left with our bellies full. I definitely recommend this place

We ate there two weeks ago and the food was just OK, the problem there was no social distancing and no one wore a mask including the staff. The place was crowded and we should have left but we were hungary. Never again when its that crowded, Again food was OK nothing special. read more

The food is great if you stick to the appetizers and bar food, the steaks are ok at the very best... the variety is great for a beachside restaurant it has a bit of a northern feel to it which i like. It's a good place to mix beach life with an old school restaurant. A bit pricey for what your getting. But all in all it's worth a trip. read more

Over an hour wait .. was totally worth it .. we ordered crab, fish/shrimp, Mahi-Mahi sandwich and fish sandwich.. was totally worth it .. did not have any room for dessert but their triple chocolate cake looked so tempting .. read more

You will have to take this review for what it's worth, I don't do sugar or spicy stuff, this place is known for its wings and ribs, because I end up doing naked wings and ribs I believe I'm a very good judge of the meat itself. This was doable but nothing to write home about, likewise for the atmosphere, the service was good but I literally was only person sitting at the bar. Now having said that, you Gotta know I'm from Oklahoma, believe it or not we have excellent barbecue. In Kansas City one of the best barbecue joints is called Oklahoma Joe's because the dude is from Oklahoma. This is Florida not a place known for barbecue, so if that's really really what you want for supper you can go here. I encourage you to look at the menu before deciding. They do have a garlic teriyaki sauce for the wings that I do believe would be really good read more

This place was okay! The prices were affordable and the wine was good but the food wasn't that great. We got the shrimp Alfredo and the fish Alfredo and both of them were very bland. There wasn't any flavor at all so neither of us finished the dishes because they just didn't taste very good. The server was very nice and like I said the prices were good. I would come back again but next time I would definitely get something else. read more

Charlie Horse Restaurant - Shrimp Alfredo - Seafood Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

The last time I came here to eat,I ordered the shrimp on a skewer. Absurd price for the 5 Lonely shrimp ,the rice it came with was cold, the shrimp too salty. This time around (Note : it was full so we waited 10min to be seated;no biggie) I ordered a basket of fries and the mahi mahi sandwich . It was perfect . The fries they give you are plenty ,the fish wasn't dry or slimy. Wonderful flavor. the only thing missing was hot sauce,to which they only had their own sauce and Tabasco;So don't expect a grand selection of condiments other than ketchup. I guess that's besides the point. Overall it's still a bit over priced but at least the food is good read more

This is THE SPOT in the Daytona/Ormond area. So many choices seafood is always fresh, wings are amazing and plump (recommend chargrilled) drinks are inexpensive. But the best is the staff!!! Always friendly!! read more

Had the mahi mahi fish fettucini. Came out piping hot which was a plus. Happy with food . Hubby got the fish and chips. Average in taste but his was hot also. Decor a little dated but good food is important. Two ppl dining 30.00 dollars. Not bad read more

4 stars for a tasty dive bar/lunch spot... that hit the spot! We were in the area and were looking for a seafood-ish place to eat lunch. It was by recommendation from a local to try Charlie Horse for some seafood deciliousness. They have lunch specials throughout the week, each day and today was a grilled fish burger with fries and soft drink for $7.95, which I thought was a nice deal. I ordered the grilled shrimp with fries ($10.99) and a side of 4 hush puppies ($1). I really wasn't expecting too much since it was kind of dive-bar-like. But I was pleasantly surprised... the shrimp were huge and tasty too! The fries were awesome. However, the hushpuppies needed some help, seemed to be corn based and kind of on the small side, I've had better. My mom enjoyed her sandwich and it was tasty as well. I liked how they gave us the entire bottle of cocktail sauce and tarter sauce to the table. The service was great, no need to ask for a refill, the waiter brought out another right away. And gave us to-go cups. Also to take note, they had a full bar with a variety of drink specials, but we didn't partake in any. read more

Good non seafood for a beach area restaurant. Service was fast and friendly. Good vibe.

We visit Daytona often and we always make a point to eat at Charlie Horse. Great crab legs and they even offer crab legs on the kids menu. There can be a long wait time to get in so be prepared. read more

I very much enjoyed my meal. I ordered the Grilled Mahi sandwich and it was exceptional. My son ordered the Delmonico steak sandwich, my daughter ordered the cheeseburger (all burgers are 1/2 lb) and my wife order the crab bisque. We all enjoyed our meals. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was casual. They have an inviting full bar with plenty of TV's. I will be back. Oh, on a side note, I saw them carrying a platter of the crab legs and they looked very good as well. We had the AYCE crab legs at a nearby competitor and were disappointed. Next time we will order them at Charlie Horse! read more

Started off our vacation with dinner here and now I'm afraid it's only downhill the rest of the trip. It's soooo good. Had bacon cheese fries that were smack yo momma good. The fried shrimp is clearly fresh and hand battered and and these are some big honkin' shrimp. But the ribs...oh the ribs. Perfect balance of juicy and fall off the bone tender. Even the sides like garlic mashed potatoes are memorable. We may have to come back to Ormond Beach just to eat here. read more

Great price on crab and I like they offer dinners and burgers as well. Location is great. The only thing was the service was a bit slow but could be the waitress was probably new. read more

This was my father's favorite place for fresh crab legs when he came to visit. It will haunt me that we didn't make time the last time my father visited, before he passed. The food... freshly boiled snow crab on-demand. My only complaint was the last time I stopped by with family the all-I-can eat was over $70... It is good crab but, for that price I would consider the Boheme in Orlando's very fancy buffet with much more on it for about the same price... read more

Excellent! Large menu. Quick accurate service. A bit pricey but good and worth a try for those out of town.

You know the crab legs are amazing when you don't even need butter for them. Get them, you won't regret it

This place doesn't look like much on the outside. It has a small town feel to it. But it's awesome. The wife and I both enjoy coming here when in town. The parking lot is super small so sometimes it's easier to park behind the building in the lot attached to Bonefish. Coke products, the loaded tater tots are amazing!!! read more
