The Phillips Crab House — which opened in 1956 on Philadelphia Avenue in Maryland’s Ocean City — has closed its iconic restaurant for good.
In a Facebook post, the Phillips Seafood company made the announcement: “The Phillips family has made the difficult decision to sell our Phillips Crab House property in Ocean City, Maryland, and the location has now permanently closed.”
The post did not specify why the company decided to close the business and sell the property.
“Over our 66 seasons in business, we’ve served millions of families, vacationers and OC locals, and our family feels so fortunate to have earned the loyalty of our guests, who came back year-after-year to build their vacation memories with us,” according to the statement.
