Fries and beer, wraps and sodas, funnel cakes and lemonade! The ultimate festival food. But Harrison’s Harbor Watch at the very south end of the boardwalk is bringing some upscale dishes to you festival experience. Let’s talk about how the food game is taking it to another notch with Harrison’s Harbor Watch.
Don’t get me wrong, festival food is great! But my stomach can only take so much and after hours of being outdoors and trekking through the sand, I deserve a top of the line meal. Which is why I went to Harrison’s.
Harrison’s is located inside of the Ocean’s Calling Festival area just to the right of the Rockville Stage (If you’re looking at the stage.). We walked pass the Carousel Stage to gain access to the boardwalk and made our way south. After taking in the views of the inlet, we walked int he front door and were greeted by some very lovely ladies who immediately took us to our table. No wait! Our waitress had mentioned that people weren’t sitting for long at their tables because they wanted a good meal but then wanted to quickly rush back to the stages so they wouldn’t miss their favorite band. Smart!
We were looking for both a nice place to sit and see the inlet view but also incredibly delicious food. And that’s exactly that we got! We ordered a beer and soda (beer was half the price from the concert venues- no shame, just facts.) We started off by sharing a hot, steamy bowl of Maryland crab soup which came out with loads of crab meat! My husband even said it was the best crab soup he’s ever had.
It was very challenging to order dinner due to the variety of the menu- seafood, surf and turf, rockfish, shrimp! It all sounded so good. We decided to go with the steamed mussels and lemon basil chicken. The mussels came out piping hot doused in the most creamy buttery garlic sauce that could only be described as heaven! The lemon basil chicken came with a very large portion that also came in a thick white creamy sauce that tasted fresh and delightful. It was exactly that we wanted.
Other decadent menu items include bay scallops, sirloin steak, ahi tuna, and so much more! Click here to see the menu.
We got a fine dining date night, inside of Ocean’s Calling, at the beach- What more could we have asked for?
