General Info

In 1956, Brice and Shirley Phillips opened a small carryout restaurant called Phillips Crab House as a way of selling excess crabs from their family's plant. Business grew and the once small carryout grew into a two-story restaurant seating 1,400. Phillips Seafood Restaurants provides Maryland-style seafood dishes for lunch and dinner. The company also offers its seafood at retail locations across the United States. Headquartered in Baltimore, the company operates from nearly a dozen locations throughout the East Coast. The Phillips family started in the seafood business along Maryland's Chesapeake Bay around the turn of the century with the A. E. Phillips & Son processing plant.
