Decent for airport food. Good service, free WiFi, an accessible outlet for me sitting there for three hours.

Not a bad place to eat. Located in the airport. Staff was super friendly and took good care of us on a long wait for a flight. The lobster bisque was pretty good. May be a bit pricey but that may be due to being in the airport. Bright and clean. A good place to hang out. read more

My first time to Harrisburg and loved the little airport. Easy to get in / out, very clean, etc. however the food overall in this airport as well as the service was horrible. We came here after waiting 20 minutes to be served at Capital Cafe where there was only one server and a "busboy" that really didn't do anything. Despite all the tables being full, numerous people standing and trying to waive someone down for their checks, he refused to help the poor woman all alone; no bringing menus, no bringing water, nothing. So out of necessity we walked to Phillips. Much less crowded but again, short staffed, where the manager was serving everyone and making the drinks since they didn't have a server. She was very kind and sweet making us a Bloody Mary but once we received the food, it was just horrible. We both ordered the crab cakes with eggs for breakfast. The crab cake tasted/smelled extremely fishing and was like warm. Don't think it was fully cooked but can't be certain. The eggs were drenched with oil and tons of seasonings that made them not actually taste like eggs at all. I never touched the toast covered in butter and instead ate the French fries only as it was the only edible thing. The entire airport restaurant group needs to up their game, service, and quality. I would recommend eating before / after flying or just getting something packaged from a kiosk. read more

Service started out with a happy fast greeting. Soup came out Luke warm. Drink refills we had wait a good long time for a refill. Half of our meal came out visibly burnt . Fried burnt and brittle . I guess they got you. The reviews are bad for reason. Come for a drink not the food. Service was still friendly even though everything else was poor. If you want seafood you may want too try else where. read more

Food is decent. Workers are nice. Typical airport prices. Wide alcohol selection. It's a pretty small menu. Burger, crab cakes shrimp, salad. I usually stop here or the other restaurant for a drink before my flight. read more

We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was here! Everything was delicious, our server Shane was great and attentive, the food was cooked perfectly, and the atmosphere was relaxing! This will be our go-to place to eat when flying to/from HIA! read more

It's pretty good but overpriced. Sampler appetizer had excellent shrimp and little crab balls of meat. Plus the calamari was good and 3 different dipping sauces. Mahi mahi was good but rather small in portion with a scoop of mashed potatoes and some fried zucchini. Probably about 25% less food and about 25% higher prices than one would expect. I'm giving it 4 stars because I think it is fair to compare them with their competitor at the terminal and I would return here as it was good food. read more

Decent food for a regional small airport. Not very busy and was able to get a drink right away at the bar.

We stopped for breakfast at 5:00 am as they open at 4:30am. First we ordered 2 coffees. The waitress said they don't have coffee because when people ordered it, it tastes like mud and sent it back. (WELL THEN FIX IT!! ) Breakfast was something to eat average at best. Service was less than average at best. read more

This is an extremely racist establishment with mediocre food. Will not be coming back. Waited for a seat and had others seated before me.

CRABCAKES! SHRIMP! YUM! Phillips Seafood, Maryland's favorite seafood chain, opened a location at the Harrisburg airport in April 2011. Once ticketed passengers enter thru security, it is just inside to the right in the A Terminal, near gate A1. The crab and shrimp combo platter were just as tasty as I remember from my 7-month consulting job at Johns Hopkins years ago...where I frequently enjoyed the pleasure of an expense account and access to several nearby locations of Phillips! If you have a little time before your flight, I suggest a stopover. If not, plan to have extra time the next time you are at Harrisburg! read more

Unfortunately my 2 experiences at this location have been far less than satisfactory. My personal experience on 5/15/22 & 5/16/22 with each of the bar tenders at this location have been undesirable, not as much as a pleasant greeting or a smile. Of course I did not take it personally but simply associated it to their work conditions, though I could not be 100% sure. My guess is the fact that both bar tenders appeared to be a bit stressed from the requirements of their work load, having to tend to both the bar and entire dining room. The food was okay, though my calamari seemed to be much darker than expected, my crab cakes and shrimp were good on the other hand. However I would not recommend this place to anyone to visit on a Sunday or Monday. That's my experience... read more

My husband specifically asked if the crabcakes were maryland style. The waitress said yes. He ordered a platter of 2 and I ordered the sandwich. As soon as we bit into it, we smelled fish. They were totally fishy. Our bill was $99.75 with tip. Not worth it at all! I will never go back! I urge you not to as well. read more

Mediocre at best... the crab cakes are the best thing on the menu the soup is always luke warm If you are not drinking good luck getting a drink The hush puppies and super greasy (and it's sweet cornbread) There are normally 2-3 servers who are running around like chickens with no heads. They are mostly friendly and the place is clean. read more

Surprisingly very good for an airport restaurant. The restaurant was clean and the small staff was attentive. We were able to get seated immediately and I enjoyed the fish and chips dinner. Tasty tartar sauce and creamy coleslaw and hush puppies accompany the meal and the fish and chips we're crunchy and tasty as well. The bar was crowded as many airport bars are. Your choices for dining in this tiny airport are limited but you won't go wrong if you make Phillips your choice. read more

Sure the place is all kinds of discombobulated, but folks were friendly. Just don't be in a hurry and it will all work out for you. I had a signature salad with a crab cake on top and it was mighty tasty. No complaints. read more

I was stuck at the airport for over 5 hours and I was looking forward to a good lunch given all the waiting time. I came to the restaurant and the girl there told me that you were closing because the chef decided to go home early!! How can a restaurant in an airport close at 1.30 pm on a Friday ???? Unbelievable read more

Arrived 30 mins prior to boarding and was starving. I didn't think I would be able to get some hot food in that short time frame AND make it to board my flight.....however THIS place was a GEM!! I was seated immediately and I ordered the crab cake minis (delicious) and was recommend the Maria wine with hints of grapefruit...DELICIOUS!! I was still able to make my flight. read more

The service was attentive, they know how to pour a beer. But the food was inedible. Ordered chicken fingers; should be simple enough. It was spongy chicken, after I dissected it. Clearly frozen, and they just sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on top. Just drink here... read more

I'm a big fan of this chain. Compared its sister off airport locations this place is ok. Ok meaning it has all the elements but just not as tight. read more

After missing lunch due to work, I made it to the airport in time for something more substantial than a granola bar and some nuts. The airport doesn't have much in terms of sit down food, so Philips was the obvious choice. There were plenty of tables and I was easily able to find one with a plug to recharge before the flight. I had the seafood sampler and the Philips salad. Seafood Sampler: fried butterfly shrimp, crab cakes, crab and shrimp egg rolls. The shrimp were good - nice and crispy, and not too much breading. The mini crab cakes (more like crab balls) were very mustard-y (which I like) and the crab tasted fresh. The egg rolls seemed a little fishy and a the skin was a little undercooked, but they were much improved by the sweet chili sauce. The salad was quite impressive for an airport. It was a good mix of greens, with pine nuts, gorgonzola, mandarin oranges. It was fresh, colorful, and tasty. The service was fast enough to get me the meal and the check inside of 40 minutes. Not your usual airport food. read more

Dined here on a slow Tuesday evening. The place was hardly 20% occupied. Traveling for biz I decided to go for the crab cake entree with and extra cake. It was a good sized portion as you can see. The crab was delicious and the side of hush puppies and waffle fries were good too. I would definitely recommend this to anyone dining here. read more

Phillips Seafood - Crab cake entree with an extra cake - Seafood Near Me - Middletown, Pennsylvania

Wasting time while waiting on a flight. This is always a favorite as their appatizers are always delicious and everything is always fresh and hot. The problem with that is you often have to wait and then wait again as it cools. Remember I am in an airport... waiting is not always optimal. The beer selection is a bit lacking but good overall. read more

Needed a meal prior to flying to Charlotte. Restaurant wasn't busy but incredibly understaffed. The fish and chips were SUPER underwhelming for $15.99, and while the waitress was trying, she couldn't keep up. Had to beg for a second soda, and the check. Then she walked away with my credit card and the check and disappeared for at least 10 minutes. When I finally got her attention she asked if she could bring me the check. I said, I gave you my credit card with the check. She comes back with my credit card, but not my check to sign. Took her another 5 minutes to bring me the check to sign. Oy. read more

We strolled into the restaurant at 12:25pm despite the reviews that we read saying that it wasn't the worst place to eat at the airport. Hmmmm! As we sat down at a table we were informed that they were hoping the cook would arrive in 10 minutes if we could wait till then to order. Hmmmmm! Then proceeded to tell us they had been waiting on the cook to show up all morning. Hmmmmm! So I can't verify if it is or is not the worst restaurant at the airport but hopefully it is better than where we ended up eating instead!!!!!! read more

Unfortunately this is the only sit down dining / bar option at MDT. I've stopped here before my flight twice now. The same bartender has been working both times (I assume he's worked there a while given his behavior). To start, he acts as if it's inconvenient you're there. He acts unprofessional and condescending towards all the patrons. I also witnessed him make inappropriate comments about another, female patron. After being seated for a while and finally getting his attention, I asked for my drink and a water. By the time I left, I never got the water after asking twice. I also ordered food and never got napkins, despite asking. After eating my food and finishing my beverage, I pulled my card out and proceeded to wait some time to get his attention again to ask to cash out. After getting his attention and asking to cash out, he said "hold on" and another 10 minutes lapsed before he finally got to me. He gave me my receipt to sign, but no itemized receipt. When I asked for one, he seemed pretty pissed off. To sum it up, he's rude, slow, absent minded, and just an all around awful bartender. I can't speak for most of the food, but my french fries (something pretty hard to screw up) were pretty awful. Looking around the restaurant and bar, other patron's experiences seemed to be in line with mine. My advice, wait til your next stop. It's not worth it, AT ALL. read more

Just asked an employee what time they opened and he just said I don't know and walked into the restaurant dismissing me completely!! Subway was wonderfully good !! Need to teach the young employees manners !! read more

no service. was told to sit at a table and was left for 15 minutes. had to go to subway across the way.

What a joke. Waited for 30 minutes before I was approached to see what I wanted to drink. Four other tables were waiting as well. We all walked out. That's 12 customers walking out multiplied by $20 a head. Do the math on the wasted money for the 30 minute window I was there. Now multiply that over a year. What a poorly run business. read more

Foods good, service very slow, even when I was the ONLY person here. Everyone was sitting around talking, and the manager would just stare at me, and when asked for something he would go grab a server. With all the down time, they should clean the place. read more

Service was good but the food was extremely lackluster for the price. I ordered the lobster bisque with chicken tenders. The lobster bisque didn't taste fresh it tasted like maybe they used a can? The chicken tenders were fried well but flavor was a bit off they were Parmesean flavored but were served with tartar sauce? read more

The service was OK at best. What got me was the food. It was all cold, not seasoned, tasteless and although I was hungry I could nearly eat it. Fast food would have been a better option for a quarter of the price. I got the crab cake and shrimp combo. I knew it was not going to be good, but had to catch a plain.... read more

Service was slow and they did not bring the correct order The tuna was tender and did not have a fishy taste the vegetables were a little over seasoned Hush puppies were really good I felt it was expensive, but I like subway prices. read more

Wonderful service, very clean, awesome food. My wife had the veggie omlet and I had the BLT. Both were great!! The omlet was so cheesey inside and out and lots of different veggies. The BLT was absolutely perfect! The perfect amount of mayo and loads of perfectly crispy bacon. There were 4-5 patrons and only one employee working everything from making the food, tending bar and delivering food! Kim, you are AWESOME! read more

Very slow service for an airport restaurant. Also crab cakes are very fishy...I think they were previously frozen. Also very low stock on alcohol. We ordered 3 drinks before they had a beverage we could order. read more

Truly terrible service. Grumpy bartender could barely be bothered to bark at me, zero sense of urgency, apparently unaware she works in an airport where people have planes to catch. Buy a candy bar before you bother with dinner in this place. Not worth the time or money. read more

Was pretty good food for a smaller airport! Had the fish and chips, got a ton of good cole slaw, fries were crispy and good. Waitress was surprisingly friendly for me being so hangry and grumpy (sorry about that!). Wasn't all too impressed with their crab cake appetizer, but decently worth the money. read more

Do not order the crab and shrimp salad. Not only are you paying exorbitant prices for the food here, but it sucks and then they give you plastic wear to eat your food...go to Subway or eat before you get to the airport. read more

Nothing good to say. This airport needs better restaurants. Eat before you get here. Never got food as only seemed to have one waitress. Had to go elsewhere. Lots of unhappy customers it seemed. Watched people who had sat there for over 30 minutes get up and come over to the Subway. To bad. Not any better here! read more

Sat and asked for a burger; 30 minutes later my flight was boarding so I told the staff to forget the burger but I'll pay for my drink. They still charged me for the burger- company policy apparently. In the staffs defense, they understood the policy was misplaced and pushed to get me one to go. Not a good model for an airport sit-down dining experience. read more
