Phillips Crab House Reviews

it was very good little pricey for what i could eat i cant get my 45 worth im 2 plate kind of guy but for a buffet sat night our wait time was maybe only 15 min at most witch is excellent

Overpriced for the quality of the food even for a tourist point. Ultimate crab cake was dry too much breading and the crab meat was worse then the canned Philips crab for $39 wasn't worth it. Steamed Clams were awful white wine water as broth eww. The cream of crab soup was good though.

Just visited last week all you can eat snow crabs yum! Ice cream actually tastes like real ice cream.

We had no wait time around 7pm. All of the staff were friendly and the interior is beautiful and clean. We had a large selection of seafood to choose from on the buffet. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was worth the price. We will definitely come back on our next vacation.

Most delightful prime rib, suculent king crab legs. And, everything else I wanted

Excellent food, plenty of parking across street and decent prices. I would go back.

I fell in love, all the times of visiting oc maryland I never came to philips. But Oct 2020 I visited for my mom bday. The serve was great,the food was super delicious.

First time here and the Variety is amazing. Food is amazing. Will def come back

Baby potatoes were burnt and crab meat was overly seasoned

Great service and variety of food. Pasta, oyster and snow crab station

all you can eat buffet is a must! it is worth every penny! crabs crabs and more crabs! this is seriously for any seafood lover!

My family has been coming to OC for 35 years. One of our favorite restaurants was always Phillips. We would say " what day are we going to Phillips for dinner" we so looked forward to eating the fabulous seafood.
Since the buffet was added we have seen a decline in the quality of the meals. We ate at the regular dining room this week and the broiled seafood platter was nothing like it used to be. The other meals our family had were just OK . Last night we ate at Mackys and the crab cakes were much better in amount of crabmeat. Also no salad option with your dinner in place of the vegetables unless you want to pay extra for a regular salad. What happened to you Phillips - I know you can do better. On the positive the server was friendly and did a great job. Thanks

What else needs to be said amazing food from the buffet and a huge selection as well. Also a desert section which is a plus especially when ya have kids with ya. 40 dollars for adult buffet may seem pricey but I felt it was well worth it. Love Philip's and will always visit on my visit here to OC. Be prepared to wait 30 plus minutes ut it's well worth it

1st time there,we absolutely loved it.That place is a well oiled machine.Service was great.I wish i remembered the waitresses name,she was unbelievable at her job.A pretty light skinned girl with glasses,she worked up in the seafood buffet area,we sat by the carve station,give her a raise.Thank you for the experience.

Had great service, good crab cakes, and nice drinks. I love Phillips in OC

My wife and I enjoyed our meal here, although I would not consider it extraordinary. The decor inside is very comfortable and our waiter was decent. Many options to choose from..,my wife had the lobster tail dinner and I had a seafood broil platter. Portions were large and we left the restaurant barely able to breathe. Nice option while in OC.

Always a great place to bring the family. They pretty much have everything on their buffet that you could imagine (except Lobster). Everything is delicious and fresh. There will be something to the liking of every member of your party. Save room for the soft serve ice cream, as it is some of the best that you will get on the island.

The food and service were excellent. I recommend you to eat at Phillips.

The hostess had severe attitude. Severe. The error that server made (wrong cut of meat) for the person in party with shellfish allergy took a ridiculous amount of time to bring. I get that errors happen, we are human, but it took somewhere between 45 minutes to an hour to get correct dinner. The server was nice, she doesn t have control in kitchen, that is someone else. This was first experience with this restaurant, will not give 2nd chance - not worth it.

The food is fresh, large portions and not covered up with salt.

Went during the early bird discount, food was delicious, shrimp haddock, and crab cakes we're the best! Staff very friendly and nice atmosphere.

Great food, great atmosphere. We eat here every year we visit OC.

Over priced, over seasoned seafood. 2 people $100 bill. 45 minute wait. Rediclious.

Always good food. Selection of food varies. Good desserts

Hands down THE BEST buffet in Ocean City. This is our 2nd year in O.C. but 1st time here. Food was well prepared and delicious. The staff was very pleasant, always a smile.

Maryland crab cakes.
Oh yeah. My hubby.
Look how happy !

Our absolute favorite place to go eating when down at the beach... a bit pricey but for once a year it is do-able. A shame they had to close the other one down since that one is closer to where we stay.

My boyfriend and I went here too eat on August 25, 2018 on a mini vacation before our little one is here... The food was absolutely amazing and our waitress Kylie G. was kind and friendly and very attentive she deserves a 10!!! We definitely will be returning again next year for sure thanks Kylie G. & Phillips for excellent serve and food!!!!

Enough seafood to keep you fill. Spicy shrimp that is really good.

Came here on our first day. I had the lobster tail stuffed with crab,which was delicious. My cousin had the crab cake which she really enjoyed. It's a little pricy, but the food was cooked well, so we didn't mind.

Very disappointed with the food!! The food looked as it had been on the bar for a while. Some food was dry and cold. The snow crab legs were small and the first batch we got there seems like they were old . The bright side came when they put a fresh pot of hot crab legs out and the were delicious . Everytime I come to OC I make it a point to go there but I think I'm done. With the price we paid it should of been better .

They have the best smorgasbord in ocean city Maryland, great value & service, worth the wait

Food was ok, not great. Chicken wing were good but the a couple mussels didn't open for the apps. Can cakes were dry because they had no sauce that came with them. Waitress was not very nice and tried to charge us for crab dip we didn't order.

1st time there on 7 26 19... Great place...telling all to go....great food...
