I heard a lot about the crab cakes while I was in Baltimore.  So, I decided to try this place as the full service restaurant was crowded and the wait long.

Not the atmosphere I was looking for but cheap, quick and someone tasty.  

A little greasier than most food I'm used to eating but good.  

I would try it again.

I have eaten here perhaps 3 times now. It certainly has none of the bells and whistles of the full Phillips Restaurant. The are so many advantage with this option though :

1. cheaper than the restaurant
2. quicker
3. not as tourist y, which is great.

what else do you want?
Though, having eaten at Faidley's, I'll have to say that I prefer Faidley's big lump crabcake. Bigger pieces of crab,.. but more expensive though.

I felt like a cheapskate the day I ate at Phillips Seafood Express, but I'm glad I did. It did a good job of calming down my craving for good, fried seafood. I forgot what it was called, but I had the order that included almost every fried food they served...clam strips, shrimp, fish, crab cakes, fries, and hush puppies. I was probably closer to a heart attack than before I stepped foot in the restaurant, but it was worth it. I didn't finish everything since it's a little overkill, but it was great nonetheless. Great alternative to the real Phillips restaurant next door.

Phillips Seafood Express is a great place to get a quick, cheap fix of seafood. Located in the Harborplace in the Inner Harbor, this is an excellent alternative to the real Phillips Restaurant, located right next door. I've never eaten at the real Phillips before though, so I can't compare the two. I had a Crab Cake platter with fries and thoroughly enjoyed it. The fried had bay seasoning on them, which really hit the spot. The crab cakes were delicious, although could have been a little less fried. You order at a counter and seat yourself until your order is called, making it a quick way to get a filing meal. The only major downside is it is very fast food like, which I'm not a huge fan of. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable lunch and I recommend it if you want seafood for lunch but are short on cash and time.
