In 1956, Brice and Shirley Phillips opened a small carryout restaurant called Phillips Crab House as a way of selling excess crabs from their familys 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 Marylands Chesapeake Bay around the turn of the century with the A. E. Phillips & Son processing plant.
Capt. Dick's Crabs Galore offers fresh crabs when in season. This restaurant is located off of Southwestern Boulevard in Arbutus. Capt. Dick's has inconsistent hours so double check them before you decide to there for some crabs.
