Phillips Restaurant has grown from a carryout seafood restaurant in Ocean City, Md., to a well-known chain with locations along the East Coast, including ones in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Annapolis and Myrtle Beach. In 1956 Brice and Shirley Phillips opened the first restaurant in Ocean City, Md., to deal with the surplus from the family's seafood plant on Hoopers Island in the Chesapeake Bay. As business grew, a larger restaurant opened in the beach town. Phillips' crab cakes became known around the mid-Atlantic as the family opened more locations. In 1980 it became one of the original tenants of Harborplace in the Inner Harbor. Expansion continued in 2004 when the company entered into a licensing agreement with HMSHost Corp. to supply airport restaurants with its fare, including BWI, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia and Norfolk International Airport in Virginia. You can also find Phillips products, such as crab cakes and soups, in grocery stores around the country. Phillips Foods, which now has crab-processing plants around the world, is headquartered in Locust Point. The company supplies products to Phillips restaurants and to grocery stores.
