From my experience, Phillips has good food but lousy service. When my family (three people) had dinner there, everything was fine, but they are apparently unable to handle details for a group with individuals paying. I would advise any group leader to choose another restaurant or suffer the embarrassment and inconvenience of a loooong wait for your checks. ref: 5238

Overpriced, overrated, and not worth even a 15 minute wait. The reputation of the other Phillips restaurants is carrying this one and it's a heavy load. Never again! ref: 5144

I was very disappointed to find that my family paid an extravagant amount of money for just "OK" seafood. Coming from Long Island, New York we have access to wonderful food. I was also shocked to find that the crab cakes (which I love) were not better than Phillips frozen crab caked I can buy here at Costco. ref: 4911

First visit was w/ a group of 16 golfers, 10/06. Even as walk ins, it was great. Service, value, atmosphere, etc!! In fact, four of us visited again 11/06 w/ our wives. Again, absolutely top notch. Best she crab soup around. Highly recommend the 16 oz ribeye. You won't find it better. Ask for Jim as your server. Really interesting guy, and the best of the best at his job. ref: 4400

We went early, so we were seating immediately. The staff was very friendly. We both had the she-crab soup, it was very good. My boyfriend had the filet which he really enjoyed. I had salmon, crabcake, and shrimp combo. The salmon and crabcake were both the best i've ever had. I didn't enjoy the bread and mashed potatoes (both are usually my favorites but not this time). This restaurant was on the expensive side. A dinner for two was $72 with tip. ref: 3988

This was my first visit to Myrtle Beach and was pleasantly surprised to find Phillips here. I am a Maryland native now living in Greenville, SC and since coming here I hate to say it, but I have yet to find a decent crab cake in the Carolinas. Phillips broke that streak. I am familiar with Phillips from living in Maryland and their food has always been excellent. Here is no exception. Our first night here we were seated promptly, had excellent service and food. The restaurant was spotless and had a wonderful "Chesapeake Bay" decor, but classy also. We got the mini crab cakes as an appetizer and they and the sauces were suberb. The fried seafood platter with crab cake, choice of fish, scallops and clams was wonderful. The breads, nice moist corn muffins and cheddar biscuits were a nice change from the normal bread fare. We also visited one more time during our visit and got the steamed crabs which were nice and heavy and steamed correctly (not boiled like I find alot down South), the meat being nice and firm, no water coming from the crabs at all. The seasoning was perfect. It was my husband's first time picking crabs and he had a fun experience (although he would prefer someone else to pick them the next time). The prices were compareable to other restaurants serving seafood and the quality much better. Matter of fact, the steamed crabs were actually a better price per dozen here than back in Maryland I later found out when I called home. All in all, a wonderful experience and we will go back again. ref: 3703

On the first few times I've visted here I had wonderful experiences. Great food and service. However, the last time I went with my extended family of 16 and surprisingly the food was horrible. It was not tasty nor like any other times we had visited in the past. Needless to say, we will not be returning. ref: 3399

I have been to Myrtle Beach 3 years in a row. My party and I love seafood and was very happy to have found this restaurant on our first vacation to Myrtle Beach. We ranted and raved to everyone about the food, pricing, and everything else about the restaurant we could think of. We went back the second year and we were just as pleased. Now on our third trip on July 25, 2006 we returned once again, expecting to feel the same way. We had two other families traveling with us and we had told them all about Phillips Seafood. Much to our surprise we were so disappointed. We will never be back and we were so embarrassed that we held this place up so highly. It was such a let down. We waited for over an hour to be seated, we had to sit near a large party that was having too much to drink, the quality of the food was bad, the portions were less than half the size as before, some things were no longer available, the pricing was totally outrageous, and worst of all, my daughter got a refill of Mountain Dew and when the glass was sat on the table in front of her, it had a FLY floating in it. Need I say more???????? ref: 3374

I'm originally from Maryland and when my visiting family suggested Phillips for dinner... The one here didn't resemble the ones we knew so well from Ocean City Md. What a wonderful surprise. Everyone in the group enjoyed the dinner... teens, seniors and everyone. The staff was very pleasant and desserts were also special. ref: 3302

My family and I have just started going here about three years ago. Every time I have eaten there I never new what the fuss of my brothers was about how great their food is. Last year however, I ordered the garlic shrimp and it was amazing. The wait was never that long, but maybe because we had reservations. Inside the restaurant, it is very nice. My dad does not like it however, just because there is no view. Being from Cleveland, we would like to see some palm trees or water. But where it's location is, I guess it is not possible. We go there every year and I do not dread going there or look forward to it. ref: 2915

My husband and I ate dinner here the evening of September 10th. It was after Labor Day, so that could be why we had zero wait for a table and a very attentive server. I will also mention my husband and I are from Maryland and have eaten at 3 of the Phillips restaurants. THIS Phillips is by far our new favorite. It was our 2nd time dining here in Myrtle Beach (first was 4th of July week 2003). We were so impressed! I ordered Maryland style crabcakes, which were wonderful, full of lump meat, little filler and no shells. My husband had the combination seafood platter and was also happy. The scallops were some of the best he'd ever tasted. Before you order, they even bring you bread and butter...and not just the ordinary kind. You get mini cornbread muffins with whipped strawberry butter plus cheddar biscuits. Yum! I also loved the Eastern Shore Lemonade drink I ordered. The restaurant itself is huge and very clean. As for price, it isn't "cheap" but you do get what you pay for. We love Phillips and will return every year we visit Myrtle Beach! ref: 1286

Terrible experience. My wife and I went into the Restaurant and signed up for the next available table. They told us they had a table in smoking and one of the hostess started walking toward the bar and stopped and pointed down the lobby and then walked away. We had no way of knowing where the seat was. I went back to the hostess desk and told them and all they said was the bar. When we finally found the bar, without any help all the booths were taken and the only thing left was at the bar which I didn't want. I walked back to the hostess desk and was completly ignored. Needless to say we left and ate elsewhere. One of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant anywhere much less Myrtle Beach, which we visit about once a month. As for the food review. The Average was checked because they didn't have a catagory for not getting to taste it. ref: 1225

If you have been to the Phillips in Maryland - you'll wonder at the fresh and sleek decor of this location. And no buffet here - ala carte and outstanding! We have enjoyed Phillips in Maryland, and so we went here on our recent trip to Myrtle Beach. We were not disappointed - the food was excellent and the servings were HUGE! My 3 yr old daughter especially liked that her meal came with Oreo cookies - a nice touch. We were there in the middle of July, and we didn't wait at all for a table. And considering the size of the place, it was remarkably quiet even with many diners. Perhaps they were too busy eating to chat!! The pacing of the course was a bit rushed, but otherwise a flawless dinner. ref: 1092

This was probably the best meal we had on vacation in Myrtle Beach last year. We're going back down in a couple of weeks and have already planned on going here. Service was great, food excellent, and asmosphere wonderful. Better than the all-you-can-eat Buffet in Ocean City Maryland. ref: 896

Although not Myrtle Beach style seafood I was really pleasantly surprised. Great crab cakes. In 4 visits in 3 different years I've never had a bad meal. But I always have the crab cakes...and the she crab soup is yummy. ref: 795

We were impressed with Phillips in Myrtle Beach since we are from the DC-Maryland area where Phillips started in Ocean City, Maryland.
Our first visit to the Myrtle Beach location was in July '04. We had a party of about 35 people. The crab cakes were good on our first visit. We had crabs in the bar area on the 2nd visit and they were good even though they were not very large. We went back again in March '05 and the food was very good. The service was not as prompt as in the summer probably due to lack of help. But we will definitely visit again this July. ref: 778
