Harbor Hut

Located on the waterfront in Morro Bay, CA, the Harbor Hut restaurant is world renowned for its views of the harbor and Morro Rock. Both a local hotspot as well as a favorite among visitors, the Harbor Hut is one of the oldest restaurants in Morro Bay; it has been operated and owned by the Leage Family since 1951. Established as a humble little spot dedicated to cooking up the freshest seafood possible, the Harbor Hut quickly became recognized as one of the finest restaurants on the Central Coast for their mesquite broiling and their insatiable quest for the finest ingredients.

Founded by Ralph “Tiger” Ruse the Harbor Hut was established in order to cater to the increasing number of tourists coming from the Central Valley, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and from around the globe who seeked adventure along the spectacular coastline from Big Sur to Pismo Beach.
Around 1964 Tiger’s son in law George Leage began working at the Harbor Hut and ultimately took over the daily operations and started managing the restaurant. In 1978 he bought the restaurant from his wife’s father keeping the establishment in the family. Subsequently, George’s son Troy began working at the Harbor Hut in 1980. It wasn’t long before Troy began to manage the daily operations at the Harbor Hut. In 2009 Troy Leage and his wife Heather bought the restaurant from George solidifying the long family tradition for years to come.

These days the Harbor Hut continues to offer famously fresh dinning in a casual, family friendly setting adjacent to amazing views of the harbor and Morro Rock. With a brilliant array of local as well as freshly sourced seafood, steaks, and other ingredients, the Harbor Hut is sure to satisfy everyone in your family. Sunsets as observed from the dining area are impressive and seals, otters and pelicans can be seen from the restaurant daily.
