Having asked several guests at Ocean Walk for restaurants they would recommend, we went to Charlie Horse, wanting seafood. I had the 1 1/2 pound crab leg dinner and it was wonderful; the price was reasonable. My husband had the fish/shrimp dinner and he enjoyed it too. Would definitely go again. Only a short drive from resort.

Everything was saltwater fresh, delicious, perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and reasonably priced. What else could one ask for? Nice staff ... which we got! We ate there three times in five days - that says it all! Arrived May 2nd and even the storm did not stop us from returning. Don't change a thing!

If you love snow crabs legs cooked just right, this is the place to go. Their prices aren't as good as they use to be however the crabs are still the best! My husband had the chicken wings and rib dinner and said his was great as well. The beer is cold and the staff is friendly however you will... More

While staying in Daytona last week, we visited Charlie Horse twice...it was THAT good! The first night I had fried shrimp. That was the best (and largest) shrimp I have had in a very long time. I had a house salad, as well...with Thousand Island dressing. Oh my, the dressing was was the best I've had. My husband loved his... More

A local told us to visit here and I am glad we did. The crab legs were fresh and cooked perfect, the staff were friendly and made sure we knew the specials.(tuesday is crab night!). The only issue was the occasional smell of smoke from the smokers standing right outside the front door. Maybe some homemade fries and make the... More

Ordered a Greek salad and it was HUGE for one person. Since I was away from home I couldn't take leftovers home....darn! Plenty of meat and feta cheese with just vinegar and oil for dressing. The owner stopped by our table to make sure we were satisfied with everything we ate and ordered. She was genuinely interested in pleasing us.

Both nights we are there, the food was great. We had seafood one night and ribs the next. I would suggest getting there by 6 to avoic a wait. The prices are reasonable.

This is a very popular restaurant in Ormond Beach and we do not go to it very much as it is so hard to get into. Always a waiting line, except for one night when it had been raining so we were able to get in. The food is fine and the service friendly. Prices are reasonable. We have gone... More

The food was not bad but it was nothing special. I probably will not return. I do not eat out that much but when I do I want it to be more than just average!

This was a great place to dine. My wife and I enjoyed the shrimp and the crab legs as well. I always look for a place where I can crack the legs and they don't bend due to lack of freshness, this place passed the test. Check it out if your in town.
