Reviews for Phillips Seafood in Baltimore, MD
I came here my last night in Baltimore for dinner since this restaurant has been around since 1914 and it has quite the... reputation for fine dining. I was greeted very warmly by the hostess as soon as I walked in and my server Bethany was friendlyand very attentive. I ordered the Shrimp Pot Stickers appetizer and the Shrimp and Scallop entree. Both items were pretty good,but the mashed potatoes that came with the entree could have used a little more salt in my opinion. I ordered the Bloody Marycocktail and purchased the souvenir glass for an additional $4. The restaurant itself seems huge inside and they have a largeoutdoor dining area. It seems to be a very busy spot and I highly recommend making a reservation like I did, otherwise you mighthave a wait time of 45 minutes to an hour to get a table. I recommend anyone to check this place out and I will definitely stopby again in the future. Read more
I love there crab cakes. There is nothing like them. However, I got the broiled trio. Fish, shrimp, and crab cakes. The meal... outside of the crab cake was not seasoned at all. It had no flavor. I asked the waiter what happened and he said, "we got manycomplaints about over seasoning so we are not seasoning things anymore ". Why would you tell me before I ordered it. Also thefood didnt look great either. Read more
Absolutely delicious! I was alone, so I sat at the bar, but the bartender was so nice and even turned the tennis channel up for... me so I could hear the play-by-play because he could tell I was interested. The clam chowder was absolutely amazing, probablythe best I’ve ever had. I also had the BBQ Chicken sandwich and it was absolutely amazing. Not to mention, the seasoning theyput on their fries is the best thing since sliced bread. Would absolutely return. Read more
Dinner here was incredible! The food was amazing; perfectly cooked with a huge portion and the flavors were all spot on. I got... the Broiled Trio which even comes with a crab cake - must have when you go to Phillips. The atmosphere is lovely as well, greatplace to have dinner with friends. We also had an incredible server Dominick who helped make our night. He was so friendly andput up with my large table with ease. Thanks for helping make our night great! Read more
My son and I decided to go to the Harbor and get some seafood, so we decided to go to Phillips! Great choice. We had a great... time; the food was fantastic, and the service was stellar. Both Cheyenne and Michelle was great, especially Michelle! She wascourteous and professional, and went out her way to ensure we were good, and checked on us on numerous occasions to make sure weare good. Can't wait until I return and can spend more time there! Read more
This place was really great. The best crab cake I have ever had (I am from Chicago Where a crab cake is not the specialty). I... got the broiled seafood trio and their crab soup. The creamy crab soup was really delicious, very light, which is surprisingbecause it’s so creamy. It didn’t have too much flavor. But I kind of enjoyed it like this. The broiled seafood trio wasreally good. Honestly, everything had so much flavor. The only reason to give it four stars instead of five, was honestlybecause everything was so greasy. I could barely eat 1/4 of my dish because it was so greasy for me. But!!! It was superdelicious so I don’t wanna complain too much!! The staff was super friendly and drew an otter on my receipt. I would probablynot come here again If the wait was as long as people have described in other comments. Read more
This is a friendly, classic spot in the midst of the Baltimore Inner Harbor zone. We saw locals and tourists inside the brightly... lit, clean seating areas (in addition to a well-peopled bar). Our corner booth was cozy, and the big menu had selections foreveryone (although a bit limited for vegetarians). The drinks were fresh, and house-made cocktail wasn’t sweet or syrupy. Youcan go for high-end, pricey seafood items or not; having for the special chef’s made crab cakes, I can affirm they werehandmade, well formed, and freshly cooked. Everything was savory and delicious, and our server was attentive and high-energy, aswell as personable. We felt we got good value for the price point. Read more
The prices for this place are a little misleading. Salads and small plates are $ while main dishes are $$$-$$$$. Be prepared for... that. I went with the crab cake burger and, while it was amazingly delicious with a buttery soft and lightly toasted bun, Iwish I had spent the extra $$ to just get the crab cakes. I felt like my dish was a small sandwich and a huge portion of friesand I would have rather had more crab cake. Don’t be like me. If you want crab cakes, then don’t skimp out because otherwiseyou’ll be paying a lot for mainly potatoes. My wife got the Caesar salad, which I tried and was a normal Caesar salad. Mydaughter ordered the Mac and cheese with fries which was ok (at least she enjoyed it). I was not a big fan of the quantity offries or the quality of the water. Overall, this was a fun spot to visit after the aquarium, but I’d be happy to try otherrestaurants first before going back. Read more
