We had a wonderful experience at Phillips Seafood in Baltimore. The service was great from the moment we arrived. We used the valet service, which made everything very convenient and stress-free. The food was excellent -- fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Everything we ordered exceeded expectations, and the staff was attentive without being overwhelming. The atmosphere was friendly, not crowded and peaceful. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. Great service, excellent food, and the added convenience of valet parking made the visit even better. I would definitely recommend Phillips Seafood when visiting Baltimore! read more

Went to this Phillips location after the aquarium at the Inner Harbor. We had to wait 30 minutes and put ourselves on a waiting list. The host we interacted with was ambivalent, at best. Once seated, we ordered drinks and food and I ordered the fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. It was pretty good, but I don't think it was worth $28 dollars of a meal. The entire meal for 6 people and a baby came out to over $200 for what was basically glorified bar food. Though it was tasty, I think you can get a better bang for your buck elsewhere.

We were staying at a hotel a couple blocks from the inner harbor and my husband was nice enough to make a reservation at this restaurant for lunch. I am so glad he did because it was delicious. They have plenty of great sounding appetizers, salads and entrees. We decided to go with three seafood appetizers. We started with the boom boom shrimp. It was coated and fried and had a delicious but spicy sauce on it. Our next appetizer was the crab dip. It was hot and delicious and came with two small bread loaves for dipping. Our final appetizer was the tuna wontons. It was three fried square wontons with raw tuna, rice, ginger, spicy mayo and green onions. We loved all three of them. Service was fairly quick. read more

Had dinner with a group of friends for his birthday, it was 7 of us total around 8pm on a Saturday night and we were able to be sat immediately. Our server was amazing! Super kind and patient with us. We got the Chesapeake crab dip for an appetizer, it came with some kind of seasoned bread which was delicious! Add some Tabasco for a nice kick! I had the Crispy Fish sandwich and it was unbelievably fresh and delicious! The fries were crispy and fresh. Overall loved it, its a nice restaurant to go to if you are celebrating. read more

I was walking around the Inner Harbor when I stumbled upon Phillips Seafood. You can't miss the building as the signage letters are huge! There's an option to sit inside or outside, but I opted for indoor seating. My waitress was phenomenal. She was so pleasant throughout my dining experience. I was obviously craving seafood. I ordered the Premium Broiled Trio which consisted of lobster tail, the fresh catch which was Barramundi, scallops, mashed potatoes and vegetables. I also ordered a cup of the clam chowder which was on point! It was quite a bit of food, but very satisfying indeed. read more

Phillips Seafood is one of those iconic locations in the Baltimore Inner harbor area. While on vacation, we stopped by on a weekend afternoon and enjoyed a combination of appetizers for lunch - my favorite was the crab dip which should not be passed up. There are plenty of seating options in the bar and dining room areas - it looks like there's an active outdoor seating area as well, that we were there in cold weather season so we made sure to sit inside. Service from David S was wonderful, he had a great presence and made wonderful recommendations. Pricing all in average about $40 per person which is a reasonable value for the experience and quality of food. The location is quite active, so to expedite your visit, you may want to make a reservation as we did. The next time we're on vacation in Baltimore, I look forward to returning. read more

My father was visiting from Arizona so we needed to take him to get seafood and at 8 o'clock on a Friday night after finishing up at the aquarium we needed up at Phillips. I've eaten here on the deck in the summer, but never inside. The inside is very old school classic restaurant feel. Lots of wood and black and white pictures. We ordered oysters, and the crab dip. The oysters were mostly okay. I wish they would've cut the abductor muscle instead of making my scrape my oyster out myself, and a few had broken shell in it. The crab dip we really liked, but if you're not a cheese fan I'd shy away. This is a very rich creamy and cheesy crab dip. My fiancé and father got the fried fish combo and enjoyed it, and I splurged on the captains catch. The lobster was perfectly cooked! Hard to find in baltimore. The snow crab was also cooked well! The mussels were okay, a little small. And the clams were good too! We enjoyed our dinner here, it wasn't our first choice of places to take a non native baltimorian but it was a nice time and we enjoyed our food! read more

The service was good. Food was just okay. I would have expected fresher seafood. Shrimp was basic. Crabcake just okay, not flavorful. Catch of the day was pretty good! Asparagus and potatoes were great. Oscar's were okay, not the best, but just okay. read more

I thought this place was alright. I vaguely remember the food being super salty and that was a turn off for me. The drinks were extremely sweet and juicy. I felt kinda like a glorified red lobster but I think I prefer red lobster. Their was a lot of staff but it felt like it was really hard to get someone's attention if I needed it. They have room for a ton of people and as walk in we had a wait for a table for 3. I personally wouldn't go back. I don't think the cost we paid equaled to the quality and service received. read more

Perfect stop of after the aquarium as it is just steps away. However, the restaurant is massive and they clearly can't even staff it. I went on a Saturday night and we had a 20 minute wait. A wait is fine, but when we were walked to our seat, the restaurant was bare! Maybe 10 tables out of 50 taken. In this places hay day, every table would have been taken and it would have been an hour wait. This was shocking. When we got our food, I understood more. The crab dip had gobs of cheese not really melted in. The cheese pull was wild but it was like gobs of cheese and then separate gobs of mayo/old bay. My salad was massive and the salmon was great. So if I went back, I'd definitely get my salad again, but I feel like that shouldn't be the show stopper at a classic fish house like Phillips. The one that will make me never go back, my son's hot dog was salty as all get up! My son is a picky eater and this possibly turned him off hot dogs for the rest of forever. So while the food was sub par, I'm now mad that they messed up a hot dog. It could not be more simple. There are still classics there. Back in the early 2000s, Phillips was the place to be and I still love their freeze crab cakes at the grocery store. It is sad to say, there are better fish houses in Baltimore. read more

CJ was an absolute standout. Attentive without being overbearing, knew the menu inside and out, and had a genuinely warm personality that made the whole meal better. Best service we've had in a long time -- ask for CJ if you come here. read more

When in Baltimore, you have to try the crab right? Pros We made an early reservation and were seated quickly (make a reservation for sure). Food was good, and pricing was clear. Other restaurants listed MP for crab cakes and crab legs, but at Phillips, all prices were listed on the menu. We ordered the broiled oysters, crab cakes, snow crab legs with a side of shrimp, and broiled barramundi. Prices of entrees ranged from $30-$60. The kid's menu was a great value at $7 for an entree, drink, and fries. It's a family-friendly restaurant for sure. Cons Service wasn't great. Our server forgot to put in my iced tea and the oysters. Maybe it was just busy, but she didn't come by to check on us during the meal. At the end of the meal, she came and brought us the check, without offering us dessert. She and another server were also complaining about their coworker near our table. I think if you're spending $200 on a meal, and tipping an additional $40, the service could be better. All in all, I would recommend Phillips, especially because of its location in the inner harbor. They also offer validated parking. It would be a four star experience if the service improved. read more

Food was stellar. Crab cakes are delish! Ruslan was an awesome waiter we had fantastic service and he was very kind for Mother's Day.

The food was fantastic! Our server, Ruslan, was fantastic! I recommend the ultimate crab cake. Try one of the local beers. So good!

Outdoor seating was very nice. Customer service was good. Clean seating and facility. No complaints at all. Ordered the following: Spiced pineapple mule: 6/10 too much ginger beer, pass Crispy calamari: 8.5/10 wish the sauce had a little more to it but still pretty good. Battered and fried well. Crispy fish sandwich: 8/10 chipotle mayo had no taste. Fish was fried well, wish it had more seasoning. read more

As a chain in a touristy area I wasn't really expecting much of this place but it really exceeded expectations! They have a choose your own type of dish with your choice of fish and compound butter with a side of mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. I had the salmon with the jalapeno herb that really hit the spot - the salmon was cooked perfectly and was of good quality (none of that fishy smell/taste). The service was a bit slow but they were packed. I also thought they could've been more forthcoming with options on seating. They didn't mention the bar at all (which was coincidentally completely empty and also has bar top tables) and only wanted to mention that seating options were 45min to an hour long. The crab dip comes in a skillet with unlimited bread. The bread is nothing special, coated with (too much) garlic and butter. The crab in the dip isn't of great quality but who would've expected it to be, I suppose. They could do with some eco friendly changes - they put straws in your drinks without asking. Straws are a commonly non-recyclable plastic. Being on the water right next to the aquarium you'd think they'd have being 'green' more on their minds. read more

Visited the Crab Deck for their Orioles Season Opener event. Music was amazing and the drink was flowing. While here I indulged in the quarter pound beef hotdog with crab meat. The crabmeat and cheese could've been a little more hot but, overall it was a fun deelish dish. Also while here I had a half dozen crabs. Nicely seasoned, they were meaty and a nice size. The crab deck is nice day vibe, just don't look in the water LOL! Service was ok but, you could tell they were short staffed. I'd patronize again. SYOY! read more

Excellent service provided by Fatima! I didn't know what to expect in terms of ambiance but I would say it's equivalent to that of Red Lobster. We had the lobster broil for 2.

We dined on the patio on the water on the first day it was open: It was a fine March day and everyone was enjoying themselves. We were quickly seated by the hostess, and our waitress arrived quickly to take our drink orders. My crab soup was lukewarm: The chafing dish was not working properly. When I alerted the waitress, she said the Manager would arrange for the main kitchen to bring a fresh bowl. By the time this happened, my husband was finished with his bowl of soup. Still, the crab soup was delicious. Here's a big difference in the dining experience inside versus outside: On the patio, it's plastic cups and bowls. read more

I would go again if I lived in Maryland. It was a great stop to the inner harbor. read more

Absolutely phenomenal meal and dining experience! The restaurant is right in the harbor and the decor is uniquely nautical in a way that gives fine dining vibes. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I was famished so I splurged a bit and got the steak and crab cake - perfection! Ample portion size, great crab cake and piece of steak, and the mashed potatoes and asparagus were also spot on. After seeing pics of it on Yelp, I also had to get the crab dip to share which I highly recommend. And to top it all off they came around with a dessert tray and I couldn't say no to the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich! It was so good it literally had me happy dancing in my seat! I left very full and very satisfied - definitely recommend visiting Phillips! read more

CJ our server was beyond top tier. He was very knowledgeable a out the item Menus so making recommendations was easy for him. He lead us to some excellent dishes. He was very kind, friendly and attentive to our table. Although he couldn't control when our food came out he made to sure check on us and let us know it will be out shorty. The wait time was even noticeably it he made to engage with our table allow us to know he was still around. The ambiance was nice. It wasn't loud nor too quiet. You were able to talk without feeling g like you had to talk over others. It was just the right amount of noise. Not too quiet where you felt like everyone could hear you talking but just right. It was clean and all the staff were kind and friendly. The food was really good. No complaints. I will definitely be coming back for another meal. read more

Google posted that they were closing in 45 min so we took our chances with availability to eat here for dinner. There wasn't much activity so we were greeted and seated quickly in a booth. Upon entering Phillips, the staff was cleaning and everything (including the bathroom) was sanitary. Our server was very kind and attentive. I didn't have to ask for anything she was on top of it . We kept our order basic with an Angus burger with fries , grilled chicken Caesar salad and a cup of cream of crab soup. It didn't take long for the food to arrive (15 min ?) Before the entree was served I received my Tiny soup . That "cup" size must be a "sippy cup " serving because I ate it in 3 spoonfuls. As we waited for the main dishes, someone from the kitchen happily came to our cleared table and asked , " How are you enjoying your meal tonight ?". We busted out laughing because we didn't have any food . It was a really silly moment . The guy embarrassingly left our table and returned with a serving tray of our meals. The Caesar salad was tossed to perfection ( dressing to lettuce ratio ) and my son did not leave a crumb . He shared his fries with me and they were so crunchy and piping hot. We made a good memory here. Thank you Phillips Seafood Team. read more

Popped in here for a late lunch after the Baltimore Aquarium and left feeling... meh. Prices are definitely on the high side. We tried the tuna poke nachos, a dozen oysters, crabby fries, lobster & shrimp Alfredo, fried catfish, lobster roll, and Hooper's crab cake. The oysters weren't as fresh as I'd like, but the fries were crisp and addicting (both the regular and crabby versions). The Alfredo sauce was creamy, but the noodles were harder than al dente, which made it a bit unpleasant. The lobster roll was just okay, and the crab cake didn't stand out. Overall, a decent spot if you're already nearby, but not one I'd go out of my way for. read more

This is where my cousin wanted to eat for graduation. It was a great choice. Cameron was our server and did a great job of going over specials, drink orders and food orders. He was attentive enough not to be annoying which I appreciate. Only hit was the host who looked angry and bothered that we should be eating there or that anyone was eating there at all. Please remove that kind of employee from the greeting area. When you are expected to pay X-hundreds for dinner the last thing you want is a sour faced host seating you at 5pm. Rant done but that took a star off (Yelp add half stars) cause she would have cost 1.5 stars off. My cousin was ok with it when she and I entered but I was not. Food was awesome! My cousin who has been an Elite for 14 years (she knows I should have been an elite the same amount of time but my elites back then were lame) and I walked the pier as we waited for my family trapped in a parking lot after graduation. We went in early and had some appetizers and drink. The crab dip and poke nachos were yum. Once family came we asked for more bread and were provided it as the portion for appetizers was surprisingly large. Cameron delivered everything on time and in sequence. Entrees were awesome and I ordered surf and turf. The lobster tail was a good size and the steak done to medium rare as asked. It was tasty and delicious. My aunts and dad liked their foods and they ordered seafood as well. The dining experience was superb. Price is fair, maybe high but along the lines of Scott's Seafood and Grill in San Francisco and Oakland, CA but a tad cheaper and not a table cloth experience. Though the Oakland Scott's location has a view of the Bay, Philips did not seem to have a view of Baltimore Harbor however, they do have patio seating outside. No way were we dining out in 40ish degree weather. Food is legit and that was nice considering we were starving. Cameron delivered everything on time and in order. I did have a really good fruity cocktail and a killer local Baltimore beer. Ambiance was nice but unspectacular as well. It is a typical sit down style eating area with open sections. Can't really complain but no wow factor. It was nice to reconnect with an Aunt who remembered me as a little kid so chatting with her was nice. Places where you can chat without screaming is so nice. Overall it was a nice place to celebrate my cousin's graduation and everyone was chatty so it was awesome! Now when I move back east, would I come back here? Yes, but will most definitely eat in the outside dining area. read more

Brought my wife to Inner Harbor for the weekend to celebrate her Birthday and saw Phillips, so we decided to try it out. Our server Ruslan was on point making suggestions on the bed items on the menu. We went with the crab dip and the Mussel Steamer.
