We were at the Maryland House and had a platter of seafood at Phillips Seafood Express. Pricey at$19.99! Serving is not too large for an anticipated "platter". Otherwise, it tastes good. And by the way, the service is little bit slow.

Not sure if seafood and fast food really go together. Is it really that fresh if it's delivered to a rest stop in the middle of the highway? I always question. Although their cream of crab soup is pretty ballin. A cup is all you need. Pretty good portion too. Crabcakes are pretty good too. But you know it's almost a rush job. I lean more towards the Roy Rogers next door. Always a better bang for the buck.

First time at Phillips Seafood so I ordered the advertised famous Signature Crab Cake Sandwich. I was very disappointed with the food. The sandwich itself turned out to be almost $10 but it is TINY. And there is only a small, extremely deep fried crab cake along with a single piece onion inside. It was so unappetizing that I didn't even want to take a picture of it. Maybe this is actually what Maryland style is, but it is definitely not worth the price. The taste is not bad but I was still starving after eating it.

When I am on a pit stop for food, I'm usually thinking some type of convenience store, drive-thru, fast food chain, etc. Even though Phillips Seafood Express is among the latter, I wouldn't expect a seafood to even be an option when there are nothing but gas stations and road warrior travelers in the vicinity. Initially it was a welcome surprise, but now it's a go to whenever I'm roadtrippin' nearby. During holiday travel, there is almost always a line. If you have somewhere to be, the next door options are quicker, easier, and in all likelihood cheaper. Otherwise, don't mind me while I wait in line for crab cakes on the go. The seafood platter ($10), which consists of fried shrimp, crab slammers, and spring rolls is not a bad way to go. Yes, the spring rolls are incredibly mediocre, but the crab slammers (i.e. fried cheesy crab balls) may as well make up for it. At one point, I believe fried oysters were part of the deal, but I haven't seen one included in awhile. There are also the grouper fingers ($6), which is essentially fish and chips with a sam adams beer batter. A bit underwhelming, but manageable for the light appetite. The crab cake sandwich ($9.50) is probably the most popular item and easily the best tasting one. Bits of real crab, smothered into medallion form, in only the way a nasty fast food provider could. Some of their sweet tartar to boot, it's a winner in the bunch. Do not order the hot dog ($4.50), pulled pork ($7.50) or tilapia tortilla platter. It's nice to have non-seafood options for the non-pescatarians, but only if they actually did a good job. Also, beware of the hush puppies. The only difference between them and metallic stress balls is the breading. Neither are truly edible. Finally, if the fried food doesn't appeal, surely the soup options will. The lobster bisque ($4/7) is solid for fast food standards, but my favorite is the cream of crab ($4/7). It's extremely crabby from odor and taste, which is a great thing for crab lovers. I won't say it's quality high grade crab meat by any means, but it surely beats the fake crab meat ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr… ) any day.

Slow slow slow service. 5 customers verse 7 employees. Wife wanted fish and chips ... it took over 30 minutes to NOT complete the order. Our bus stop was for 35 minutes and finally we had to cancel the order and get back on the bus. They are good at taking the order and the money. Very poor at making the food and completing the order. How long does it take to make a cod sandwich? Internet and Youtube says it should take 3-5 minutes. This place it must take over 30 minutes. Over priced anyway.

What can I say... expensive, totally not worth it, HORRIBLE, SLOW service. I threatened to cancel my order after I waited for around 15 mins before they brought it out for me. And their soups don't taste that great, not worth the $5+ a cup

So where do I begin..... I was very excited as I was driving up to the Maryland House and saw that they added a Phillip 's Seafood Express. The menu had a good variety but wasn't overwhelming with options. I immediately decided on the Classic Lobster Roll which was accompanied by seasoned waffle fries. The cost $19.99. I then ordered my husband a crabcake sandwich. The cost $14.99. It wasn't long before the server had the food ready (she was extremely nice by the way even down to describing what was in the lobster roll.) When I saw the roll I was underwhelmed. It looked rather small and there were like 5 fries. Despite the size however the lobster roll itself was really good. The bread was soft and toasted. The lobster had a light creamy mix of mayo and tarragon and I added lemon juice to enhance the flavor. I only wish there was more. The fries were good as well. Again, only wish there was more. My husband's crabcake sandwich was also pretty small and he described it as "meh okay." At the end of the day, I now know what to expect. I would visit again but just make sure I'm not super hungry or I'll get something to supplement the roll.

Crabcake sandwich -- this meal should come with a reach around. At $17 each for a crabcake sandwich and medium drink, we got a crabcake that tasted frozen -- what little there was of it. And it looked to be full of filler, not like the Phillips crab cakes of old. The fried potato portion was small, too. It's not a good feeling when you regret not just buying a hamburger from the Wendy's next door.

MARYLAND HOUSE IS CLOSING FOR RENOVATION... the vendors that were previously there might not be there post-reno.

Curiously, I'll give a travel plaza restaurant five stars. Not because I ate their food and loved it. It's because they were so extraordinarly thoughtful. Because of celiac, I have to ask a hundred questions wherever I go. Sometimes, crab cakes don't have a binder in them. Usually, they do. When I asked the really nice young man at the register, he admitted he didn't know. But I placed an order for two crabcakes, fries and a sald. Within three minutes, he came and found me and told me what the binder ingredients were and offered me an immediate refund. Look, these nice people are awash in hungry tourists. That he and his very lovely young coworker took the time to make sure that I could actually enjoy their food with a negative reaction was so thoughtful, I just have to recommend them. Whenever we come through here, I know it's my husband's favorite little indulgence. Based on the ethics and professionalism they showed - I'll indulge him here anytime he wants.

We stopped at the Maryland House Travel Center for gas and to grab food. Phillips Seafood Express offers hand picked, pasteurized crab meat (their words, not mine), but I couldn't resist the huge neon HOT DOG sign behind the counter, so I went and got a hot dog. Yes, an all-American, all beef, $3 hot dog. A friendly staffer (Vanessa) heard my pleas, took my credit card, then practically threw the dog (in a righteous Styrofoam carrying case) at me - not literally, but she was fast, and in a good way. Would've been nice if the bun was warm and not just pulled out of a bag, but I was hungry, you know? I topped the hot dog with Tabasco and relish and from the first bite to the last, I was a happy camper.

Definitely a great change of pace from the normal selection that a rest stops normally offer. If you have ever been to a Phillips Seafood you can have similar expectations. It is definitely the most expensive option at the stop, but some times when traveling good food is worth the cost!

Whenever I stop in at the Maryland House - since it has been open, I usually opt to hit Phillips Seafood Express for some soup. I particularly like their Maryland Vegetable Crab Soup. Not bad for a mass produced soup doled out daily in gallons to hungry travelers!

Just a so - so experience here. I know that I shouldn't be looking for Maryland's most amazing seafood here at a rest area food stand, but my expectations were higher than the food I received. I was hungry. Driving up the freeway heading towards NY, we stopped at this rest area to grab a bite and get gas. There was quite a few selections for fast food vendors here but Phillips looked like it might be something a bit more better quality than the other places. Especially for the price tags on their menu. After all, I was in Maryland, famous for their crab cakes and seafood and such, I wanted to try to take advantage. The counter was crowded and a bit unorganized with customers crowded everywhere waiting to order and waiting to receive their orders. I got a bit claustrophobic while I waited for my food. I ordered a crab cake sandwich and considered it below average and nothing fantastic. It came with a sealed cup of tar tar sauce, nothing really to get excited about.

the crab cake sandwich is reasonably tasty by fast food type joint standards but tiny and super pricey! it was served with an extremely tiny portion of cole slaw (like two bites worth, is cabbage so expensive???) and a few tiny little hush puppies.. a medium drink comes to $2.70 with tax.. so i ended up spending almost $20 for this tiny sandwich, sample portion of cole slaw, a few hush puppies, and a drink. the young ladies working behind the counter were all very beautiful and very smiley and courteous, this is how they sucker in customers like me despite the prices, and well the alternatives in the rest area are places like roy rogers..

How refreshing no burger or fries. I ordered the pepper Calamari- gross tough and not worth $9.00 I ordered the crab chowder and the Crab salad, mama says mm mm good. Outstanding and fresh. I loved it. I will stop back through on my way back from NJ!
