Harborside Bar & Grill - lively bar atmoshere, sports tv heaven, good seafood, reasonable prices On the recommendation of friends, we tried this bar/grill for the first time and were pleasantly surprised with the lively atmosphere, juiced by NFL playoffs on many tvs and the...great seafood menu. Bar staff was super efficient and fast as they worked as a team. All staff seemed focused on your service and pleasure. I enjoyed the special called Seared Shrimp salad and my partner got the potato skins smothered in cheese and bacon. There also was live music in the outside porch bar during the 3 to 6pm Happy Hour. Finally we enjoyed it so much, we went again today for Italian Night specials on Monday. I got the Meatballs Marinara.Mmmm..my partner got the turkey bacon wrap. Jan and Will, our bartenders, were the greatest.More

Stopped by oc on our way back home to pa from a wedding trip to nc. Went to dinner on a Tuesday night and had a fabulous meal. We love the calamari here. It is so much better than any place we have ever been...to. The shaved parm cheese and banana peppers on top met in your mouth. And we were surprised that in the off season Tuesday night is date night and entrees we buy one with an appetizer and get the second one 1/2 off. We have been to this restaurant so many times when we visit oc and we have never had a bad meal.More

Very unassuming restaurant tucked in west ocean city. Food is good and priced right. Love that place. You can even tie your boat up.

Had lunch at this place. Crab cake sandwich and Seared Scallop Salad were great. Nice location on the bay, looking out at the boats. Service was good.

We go to eat there at least 2-3 times a visit when we go to ocean city. We've had nothing but great service and great food. We would highly recommend it. Going back in October for the car show and can't wait to go back...there to eat again. Love the atmosphere!!More

We visit OC every year and Harborside is usually our first stop. The seafood bisque is to die for and we usually get some to go. We've never had a bad meal here from the Scallops to the Steamed Shrimp to the Wraps... everything is...excellent. The only small complaint we have is the last time we visited, it wasn't especially busy and our server, Kaitlyn, was very distracted. Service was extremely slow, which has never happened here before. We waited over 10 minutes for 1 beer. She never returned to our table to ask how our food was and in fact we had to ask another server to find her so we could order more drinks. There was only 4 in our group this day and we are the farthest thing from demanding, so it was very disappointing. However, it will not stop us from returning in the future because this place was just that good!More

We have been here before a year ago why we came back I didn't know. The prices have increased significantly. I had 2 major problems. We sat at the bar. Discusting. Flys everywhere on everything. How this place stays open is baffling. I watched them...make 10+ Crush drinks. The fruit wss all sliced ahead and squeezed. The fruit had many fly visitors as did the squeezer. My beer tasted strange so I left most of it. My wife ate a couple appetizers didn't and won't eat here. I'm sure they don't give a dam.More

1st time ever at this restaurant. When we pulled in, it seemed very crowded however we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Server was great. He had a great personality. He did forget to bring a drink & realized it when he brought...the check. No biggie. Food was really good. We had tacos, burger and the tuna dinner. All very yummy. Overall experience was good. We would go back again.More

We had 3 employees walk past us at the hostess stand and say nothing to us. We finally got seated and again many employees walked by our table and nothing, finally after 15 minutes one of us went to the hostess stand and was told...there was confusion who was our server. Once a server finally came he was very helpful and apologetic. Drinks were good, food was not so good. Fish was bland and not very favorable, soup was good. The place was very unorganized and we even saw some employees arguing with each other. I would maybe come back for the drinks, but I will never order food from here again.More

It did not meet my expectations being that it is known for the original orange crush. The restaurant did not live up to its reputation for me. Our food was average and was served to us cold – what a disappointment. The drinks were good,...and the atmosphere was great. Our friends said on certain nights they have a live band playing. I would go here again, now that I know what to expect – it is a good setting to have drinks on the water to hang out with friends. There is a large indoor dining, covered deck, and seating along the water. Not much parking. They also have a dock, so you can boat there.More

A little out of the way but a good find for drinks and dinner. Beach rustic but great change of pace from the chain like restaurants. Crab with large pretzels could have been an entree. Scallops with crab imperial as well as the shrimp with...crab imperial was very good. Enjoyed the late 60’s music. Staff were great.More

Yes outside on the dock or out front in the parking lot. Maryland has prohibited smoking inside all bars and restaurants for several years now.
