Line Cook - Harrison's Harbor Watch

Opened in 1984 by brothers John and Hale Harrison, Harbor Watch has become one of Ocean City’s most iconic waterfront dining destinations. The restaurant’s striking timber construction and expansive windows provide guests with unobstructed views of Assateague Island, the Ocean City inlet, and the Atlantic coastline. From wild ponies and dolphins to pelicans and passing fishing boats, Harbor Watch delivers a dining experience that is as visually memorable as it is culinary.

Inside, guests are immersed in a nostalgic seafaring atmosphere. Nautical artifacts, historic Ocean City photographs, and preserved maritime décor reflect the rich coastal heritage that defines Harbor Watch. For over four decades, the restaurant has maintained its commitment to tradition while continuing to evolve with the tastes of modern coastal dining.

Harbor Watch operates as part of Harrison Group, a third-generation family business owned and operated in Ocean City, Maryland since 1951. The Harrison Group operates over fifteen hotels and seven restaurants across Ocean City, Maryland;
Virginia Beach, Virginia;
Corolla, North Carolina; and Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Our portfolio continues to evolve through ongoing renovations, culinary innovation, and a steadfast commitment to exceptional guest experiences.
