Phillips Seafood Restaurants

Phillips Seafood Restaurants is a family-owned and operated establishment renowned for its rich heritage and dedication to serving high-quality seafood. Established in 1956 by Brice and Shirley Phillips, the first Phillips Crab House was opened in Ocean City, Maryland, as a modest "crab shack."

This was to utilize surplus crab from the family's seafood processing operations. Over the years, this humble beginning evolved into a beloved dining destination, setting the foundation for the Phillips family's enduring legacy in the seafood industry.

Flagship Location

The flagship Phillips Seafood Restaurant is situated in the heart of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, offering guests a vibrant atmosphere complemented by picturesque waterfront views.

This location is celebrated for its award-winning Maryland-style crab cakes, meticulously crafted using the Phillips family's time-honored recipe. The menu features a diverse array of seafood dishes including fresh oysters, Maine lobster bakes, and a variety of seafood platters.

It caters to both seafood enthusiasts and those seeking alternative options like steaks and pasta. The restaurant also hosts live music events and offers happy hour specials, enhancing the dining experience.
