Bull on the Beach

Wins 3rd Place in The Best of Ocean Cityยฎ voting for 2021

“Great food, great service and a clean environment to enjoy it in.”

Once upon a time a husband and wife named Phil and Marie had a vision. Phil, having successfully thought up the idea of an “open pit” took his wife and children from Baltimore to Ocean City in hopes of opening a restaurant where he could display the Pit in an openย kitchen.

The first Bull on the Beach opened May 28, 1980 on the Boardwalk. Through the years we have had the pleasure of working with dedicated staff and loyal customersโ€“all who have helped with the success of the business. The Bull has seen a few different locations, all offering delicious menu options and fun times. Currently, there are 2 locations in Oceanย City.

Our Boardwalk location has opened their doors at the Park Place Hotel. This location provides an outdoor bar/seating area offering a beautiful view of the Ocean City Boardwalk and The Atlanticย Ocean.

Harrison Harbor Watch Raw Bar

Exactly 100 years after Joseph George’s idea, G. Hale’s sons, Hale and John, would open Harrison’s Harbor Watch Restaurant and Raw Bar overlooking the Ocean City Inlet. Offering Ocean City’s only authentic Raw Bar, their menu is overflowing with the freshest local seafood. The restaurant prides itself on purchasing the highest quality of hand tonged oysters from the waters surrounding Deal Island, MD and the Delaware Bay. It is these delicacies that go straight into Harbor Watch’s locally famous Oyster Stew. Clams are sustainably harvested from Virginia waters and the Maryland side of the Assateague Channel.

In season, fish such as Flounder, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish and Tuna are pulled straight off the boats that dock at the Commercial Harbor in West Ocean City and served fresh the same day.

In keeping with their family’s agrarian roots, the brothers have consistently supplied their six Ocean City restaurants with the region’s finest locally grown produce. During the summer, weekly trips to the Laurel Produce Market in Laurel, DE are made to hand select crisp sweet corn, juicy beefsteak tomatoes and some of the Eastern Shore’s sweetest watermelons.

And the Editor’s Choice Winner is…
